True, true. Moderation, as always, has to be applied. But sexual desires are a part of human anatomy, it's manifested in hormones, pheromones and all that good stuff. Of course you have to have your sexuality under control, if you act upon it indiscriminately that'll get you into a lot of...

I've actually heard a fairly interesting speech on this topic by some sort of youth pastor or whatnot... He finds that masturbation as a release valve of libido is OK, as long as it does not include lustful thinking of a man or a woman. Now I think that's complete hogwash, lustful thinking and...

Oh the utter shame. And by the way, Switzerland isn't the same as Sweden. Swedish isn't the same as Swiss. The correct demonyms are: Switzerland => Swiss Sweden => Swedish.

Absolutely no reason actually. This is just typical sensationalizing and fear mongering. Israel isn't that dangerous. Hell, Romney could probably visit Iran without being killed. You can be assassinated or killed by a terrorist attack just about anywhere in the world, even in places where no...

To be fair, Obama didn't start wars in Libya or Syria. Those wars were going on as a consequence of the Arab Spring, and the US intervened.

I'll give you that. The war on drugs has devolved in an actual war. But not against drugs, against cartels. You can't actually wage war against "drugs".

I think everything that needed to be said has already been pointed out by various people. But there is one thing I would like to address which deeply offends me. Please refrain from calling anything a "war" to sensationalize a banal and uninteresting topic. It's not a war unless people die...

OK, what has Obama done well? Personally I think it's a very simplified view of politics to just accredit every political action to one man, but that's how American politics work. Everything needs to be sensationalized. Anyway, here are some things that may be considered "having done well": -...

That court ruling is commonly misinterpreted. What the justice meant to say was that the demographics of the USA are predominately Christians. There is no argument about that. Here is what justice Brewer said 13 years after the court ruling in his book:

See I've always wondered about this... To someone who interprets the bible literally, does this mean that while homosexuality between two men is abominable, lesbians are perfectly fine?

If the founding fathers really wanted to establish a Christian nation I'm sure they would have been more clear about it. Right now the situation seems ambiguous and somewhat contradictory, and I think you are reading too much in the treaty of Paris. At the time every legal document was...

Oh man. Why is this so hard? Prayer, creationism, 2000 year old morals, bronze-age myths, misogyny, homophobia, racism, arbitrary rules and so on may be taught/practiced in a church/temple/mosque/whatever. But school is a place of science, not faith.

Oh, how dramatically ironic! God curses this poor girl with a severe genetic defect, thus rendering her incapable of understanding his vitally important teachings, which dooms her to spend eternity in hellish agony! Unable to understand the significance of her punishment as she drifts in an...

How cruel is your God for making something he forbids feel so incredibly good; and to add insult to injury, he even makes it one of the brains most primal urges and instincts. You're all basically hardwired to want sex all day every day, yet your God explicitly prohibits it except under some...

It's easy. Cars exist to travel, not to kill. Accidents with cars are a tolerated side-effect, because they are so essential to the US lifestyle. Guns however only serve to kill people or for entertainment purposes. Still, I don't think guns should be illegal on the condition of passing an...

You don't seem to understand that the ideal gas law only applies to gases in an atmosphere. Additionally, it neglects intermolecular attractions because those are negligable in an atmosphere, however in space there is almost no friction acting on the gases. Therefore, given enough time, the...

"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; that which cometh out of the mouth defileth a man." (Mat. 15:11) "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat." … And God saw everything that he had made...

Yes, I accept that according to the Bible, I am for all intents and purposes a pretty awful sinner. However, according to the Bible everyone is a sinner, there is even an inherent original sin. I think that a biblical sin is a mere scare tactic, and actually those trying to avoid sin are...

Praying is perfectly normal. It's anchored deeply in our minds. But a prayer is a one-sided plea, no one expects a direct answer from the entity he prays to. If someone is constantly having a conversation with this entity, and receives answers, then that is a case of schizophrenia.

When a kid talks to an imaginary friend, it's cute. When an adult talks to an imaginary friend, it's schizophrenia. When many adults talk to an imaginary friend, we call it religion.
