    Christian Conservatives Are Trying to Put Religion Back Into the Christmas Season

    I’ve come to a decision. I’ve decided that there just aren’t enough atheist banners, slogans and official recognition. I will launch a boycott of all stores that don’t have banners saying “God is a Myth”. I will demand my city council purchase banners that deny God. They will use taxpayer money...

    Christian Conservatives Are Trying to Put Religion Back Into the Christmas Season

    OK. Let me get this straight. I don't care what you do for Christmas. You can dress up like Jesus and walk down my street singing "Oh, Holy Night". You can shout your praises from your rooftop. I don't care. Celebrate how you will. Be happy and joyful. Rejoice in your faith. I love and respect...

    Methodist Church Defrocks Lesbian Minister

    Uh, I am to say that physical strength is less than intelligence. Since a Polar Bear cannot understand any sexual situation I might put it in, then it doesn't have the mental capacity to consent. Look. I've been down this path before with someone who said a 5-year-old child can consent. They...

    Methodist Church Defrocks Lesbian Minister

    I think the reasoning is that because a polar bear is bigger and stronger than me, it can consent to have sex with me. On the other hand, a sparrow is smaller and weaker, so it can't consent. :doh:

    Christian Conservatives Are Trying to Put Religion Back Into the Christmas Season

    Interesting. Whats the big deal here? No one cares if Christians want to put mor emphasis on Christ in their celebrations. But why do they feel compelled to make me do the same? I'm not interested.

    Religion often a factor for mothers who kill children

    I don't disagree with you. The latest thread on the topic is a bit baity to me and a little flamey. I don't think you can put these incidents in a box. There's all types of causes for mental illness, and there are all sorts of vehicles through which mental illness manifests itself. And I...

    Any recipes for a 10-yr-old?

    May I suggest the Betty Crocker Cookbook for kids? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0028634063/103-6084684-0645467?v=glance

    They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach...

    As someone who loves cooking, may I suggest you get to the heart of the matter? My favorite cooking resource is Cooks Illustrated. Basically what these folks do is take standard dishes and cook them 30 times or more to find the best recipe, explain the process to you, and tell you how to make...

    Religion often a factor for mothers who kill children

    My guess would be that most of us bad old atheists come from Christian backgrounds. I know I do.

    Bill Moyers speech at Harvard:

    Wow, hatred set to verse, and plagarized no less. A new plateau! "Don't dare to disagree. Tow the line. Say Baaaaaaa. Pray to Jesus. All else is evil, anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti freedom and we hate you!" I will never stoop to such rhetoric. I know, I know. That's evil talk.

    Religion often a factor for mothers who kill children

    I totally agree. It seems to be a form of institutionalized domestic abuse. I see incredible similarities between this and husband-on-wife domestic abuse. Control of the weak seems to be the primary motivation.

    Military Appeals Court Reverses Heterosexual Sodomy Conviction

    I'd be interested in seeing if the government would like to ban sex in the military. I'm guessing the rate of enlistment would plummet even lower thanit already is. On the other hand, I can see why the military would want to have rules on WHERE you can have sex, like not in the barracks. But...

    Religion often a factor for mothers who kill children

    Isn't it generally true that these women are mentally ill and fall prey to far-right evangelicals who take advantage through abuse, control and manipulation?

    Military Appeals Court Reverses Heterosexual Sodomy Conviction

    As long as there is a missonary involved, this is all perfectly fine.

    Military Appeals Court Reverses Heterosexual Sodomy Conviction

    Um. Is there a position I don't know about? Something learned only in the military. I think you mean missionary, which, as the name indicates, is an artificial construct based on someone else's view of what is right and wrong. I haven't been able to figure out what qualifies as "unnatural"...
