I can see how that might make sense for the Northern Colorado-ans & Nebraskans. They'd be better able to write laws that reflect their rural perspective away from Denver. The rest of Colorado would actually probably benefit by allowing the counties to go, too. Rural areas generate fewer tax...

Smaller does not mean "nearly nonexistent." If the presumed number of gay people is a very low 1%, and the percentage of respondents was .01%, then it is not a representative sample. That is bad statistics. Possibly there was a selection bias of some kind, and the few gays that they managed...

Hey now, I think Open also made a good faith effort, and I sort of want to know the answer to his questions: At question is evil, so we do need a working definition of evil as well as a definition of good. Since your definition of good revolves around freedom, would you agree that some forms...

Our morals have certainly changed but what the story illustrates has more to do with the changing nature of media reporting and the way we compile statistics. As others have pointed out, I don't think that things have gotten worse. However, our standards for "bad" have also slipped so that...

The questions appeared to be about whether the acts were inherently sinful. So, if you believe that the acts were okay in at least some circumstances the survey appeared to want a "yes" answer.

Someone I respect once said that the only True Christian died two thousands years ago. Seriously though, if you're going for theologically unsound Christian stories, look to Chick tracts.

I can also call others good or bad based on the same criteria. Actually, I can go even further than that. It's possible to learn enough about other people's moral beliefs to judge their actions against their own opinions of morality and ethics.

Hey now. It's really confusing. The Constitution party wants to destroy the constitution. The GOP "fiscal conservatives" spend more money than anyone and can't balance a budget to save their lives. Since there are so many "libertarians" here on CF, it's just plain mean to bring definitions...

You'll never convince anyone of that while Christians on this site revel and wallow in death and hatred. Also, some Christians here sure do love their pride. Almost enough so that they forget to be good people.

How convenient. You're denying others things that you don't want. I don't want to be a Christian. I guess I think that it should be illegal to be one. /No I don't. //But then again, I'm glad not to be what you are.

What's the address? Let's see it.

Would you vote for the amendment in the OP? Why or why not?

He was serious. This isn't the first time he's done this. There are other people here that agree with him. The problem is that if you ask me to make a determination about who is and who is not a Christian, you may find that I exclude you from that group. So it's much easier to take people's...

Ah. Only got an 84%. Not that great on Economic history, I must admit.

The problem with that whole paragraph is that the people he's talking about want there to be more marriages instead of fewer and they want them to last longer instead of shorter.
