    Hey guys, help me summarize

    The most blatant example of prejudicial bias is in the mission statement of the Creation Research Institute - the bit where they explicitly state that evidence contradicting the Bible must be wrong

    How interested in the US elections are you?

    So it should. I think those sorts of people are definitely harming the good public image of decent, sane Christians like you. Although Palin's own statements clearly mark her out as an ill informed anti-science creationist who thinks of the conflicts in the middle east as a "holy war", I think...

    How interested in the US elections are you?

    This illustrates another reason why I'm glad McCain and Palin lost (I'm not that fussed about Obama - he's too right wing to be electable in Europe). They are more likely to be influenced in their Middle East policies by their interpretation of their favourite book of apocalyptic prophesies. I...

    Time to chuck out the tv?

    I think you'll find that we're merely expressing astonishment that anyone could claim the BBC is biased and then immediately say that Fox - the most notoriously biased news source in the world - is any better.

    Gays versus Christians

    "Many shades of gay", then.

    Hating Christians, what's the root cause (2)

    A phrase involving pots and kettles comes to mind.

    Hating Christians, what's the root cause (2)

    OK, I'm stumped. I read what you wrote again, and I tried to think of any sane way to interpret it as anything other than an implication that calling you on the lie that homosexuality is all about the sex act was an instance of "leftists persecuting Christians violently". What did you actually...

    Hating Christians, what's the root cause (2)

    How is it "violent persecution" to have to repeatedly point out that you're flat out wrong? It's irksome to have to do so, but there are still plenty of people ignorant enough to believe your repeated lies about what it means to be homosexual. If you can give a convincing argument as to how a...

    What do you like about the UK?

    Cans? Even decent beer is ruined by putting it in a can. Ideally, it should be hand pumped from a well cellared cask. Failing that, bottles will do, especially if the beer has been bottle conditioned.

    At what point does it become dishonest?

    RB, you've been shown a number of transitions, and all you do is stick your fingers in your ears, shut your eyes and shout "No, that one doesn't count!". Why should anyone expend the effort to show you more transitions when you're just going to ignore them, say they're "too obvious", claim...

    Gays versus Christians

    You see your mistake here, don't you? You're expecting him to: a) See the logical reason why his statement is, in fact, wrong b) Actually acknowledge the mistake and say "oh, OK, I meant almost all", thus weakening his claim. Based on past form, neither is likely, is it?

    Gays versus Christians

    I'm annoyed that, despite the fact that I've done a load of arguing for gay rights, I can't get a copy of the Agenda. I'm beginning to suspect it's discrimination just because I'm straight.

    I Would be Ecstatic to Have a Gay Child!

    (emphasis added) Yes, there are plenty of social reasons that would prevent someone from self-identifying as homosexual. For instance, I doubt you'll find as many people self-identifying as homosexuals in Mecca as you will in Manchester. Unfortunately, the socialised stigma of homosexuality in...

    Prop[8]aganda - You Picked the Wrong People

    No, he's speaking to a massive groupthink contingent. The fact that this contingent exists only in his mind doesn't change the fact that that's whom he is speaking to. We know that this imaginary cabal is whom he always addressing, and this is what makes his posts so predictable.

    I Would be Ecstatic to Have a Gay Child!

    An important distinction. In fact, if the fairly well evidenced hypothesis that homosexuality has a significant genetic component turns out to be true, a (genetically) homosexual person who has been "socialised" into the mindet that being gay is no worse than being straight is liable to be less...
