    Taxation is not theft. The state doesn't simply declare its actions to be legal - in the contemporary state the sovereignty of the state is based upon the consent and support of the citizenry. The citizenry is the source of legtimacy. If the citizenry accept the actions as legitimate, they...

    Afghans Protest, Fla. Pastor to Meet Imam

    We are wasting our time in Afghanistan. I thought that was clear to everyone. :confused: While for you it is clear that the US and Allied troops are fighting and dying to save the Afghan people, I imagine if you are on the ground, your country is taken over by a foreign military force for a...

    Apart from the evidence from all around the world of fully state funded education and health systems. This is contradictory. Once the state has received funds (and states don't just confiscate funds from the public), they are the state's funds. Or doesn't the state get to join in with your...

    Wife Beating

    All you wanted from this thread was for people to just come in and nod their head in agreement with you about how Islam is bad. As soon as I legitimately burst that little bubble, you claimed I was taking the thread off topic and trying to cause a fight between Christianity and Islam. the irony...

    Wife Beating

    :doh: If that is what you think you have entirely missed the point. I have no interest in a battle of Christianity vs Islam and have not been trying to create one. I have no idea how demonstrating that more than one religion has been used to justify domestic violence and that therefore we...

    Why are you laughing about the "predicitability" of debate when this thread itself demonstrates your prediction to be incorrect?

    Wife Beating

    I just linked you to a Christian group who use Bible teachings about the relations between husband and wife to justify domestic violence. I see little difference between that and a specific Muslim group doing the same. Thankfully the vast majority of Chrisitans and Muslims don't engage in such...

    Ground Zero mosque Imam blames Sarah Palin for 'growing Islamophobia'

    This. Both those who commit the acts of terrorism in the name of the religion and those who would extrapolate from those acts of terrorism in the name of the religion blame to all who follow that religion are the problem. Islam is not going to go away any time soon. If you want to stop...

    Wife Beating

    Home Like I said, this is not specific to a single religion, I don't see one religion should be singled out when sexist teachings exist in others which are used in exactly the same way to justify the use of violence against a wife. The fact of the matter is that, no matter how people try to...
