    Is abortion reasonable? (2)

    I asked this in another forum once, and had it completely ignored. For the sake of argument let's say that a fertilized egg or a bunch of undifferentiated cells is a fully sentient human being with all the rights bestowed by the constitution(or whatever equivalent document from other...

    What Horses?

    How is it nonsense? You've used the same tactics as Loudmouth has when he's asking for proof that horses exist. And yeah, I have nothing of value to add since others have already addressed your points, and they've probably done it better than I could.

    Does the most religious side usually win wars?

    Against Japan maybe, the Soviets did quite a bit more against the Nazi's though. They were already turning it around over a year before the allies even invaded France. "On January 31, 1943, over 90,000 German troops at Stalingrad surrendered to the Soviets. This was a significant turning...

    Does lack of religion make people immoral?

    Yup totally true. Which is why Sweden, Denmark, and Norway (the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th least religious countries according to gallup) are consistently rated as being some of the countries with the highest living standards.

    What Horses?

    Astrid, thanks for demonstrating so thoroughly that creationists are just as ridiculous as someone asking for proof that horses exist.

    What sort of god(s) would an atheist believe in?

    You mean exactly how Christianity operated for ~1500 years?

    Christians give online threats to High School girl

    Well Jesus wouldn't; Jeezus would though. :p http://www.thepaincomics.com/Jesus%20vs.%20Jeezus.jpg It's too bad that so many Christians worship Jeezus instead of Jesus.

    "Fed court orders RI school to remove prayer mural"

    Look back at the pictures. It very clearly labels it "School Prayer" it was hung up by the schools authorities. Official 3 a : authoritative, authorized <official statement> b : prescribed or recognized as authorized <an official language> Authoritative 1 a : having or proceeding from...

    Jessica Ahlquist, 16, labelled "evil little thing" by R.I. State Rep Palumbo

    Why am I not surprised at all by that? Evil is a bunch of Christians sending death threats to a high schooler and a state representative calling her evil merely for asking that her school follow the law. Evil is not someone telling a school that they shouldn't be breaking the law.

    Christians give online threats to High School girl

    I can practically feel that wonderful Christian love. It feels an awful lot like virulent hatred. I believe so yes. I've come to expect brutal threats like this from a segment of Christians. “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” Gandhi...

    "Fed court orders RI school to remove prayer mural"

    It was the school officials that made the banner, endorsed it as the official school prayer, and hung it up. School officials in public schools count as representatives of the US government while they are doing their job. And the 14th amendment brings those protections down to the state and...

    A human being who was acting as a representative of the US government. The US government does not have freedom of speech. Those people can post whatever the hell they want on their own time in their own property. They do not get to shove their religion down others throats while acting as a...

    What's in that OJ? Tropicana is sued

    100% natural labels are absolutely useless. I can sell you a bottle of strychnine with that label and it would be the truth. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's good for you, and just because something isn't natural doesn't mean it's bad for you.

    Jesus' Tomb is in Japan

    Don't you just love when Christians take offence at the tiniest little thing, decry being rude, and then turn right around and fling an actual insult right back at you? And yes "it" is the grammatically correct pronoun for something of indeterminate sex: 1. : that one —used as subject or...

    Marijuana: Harmful or Harmless?

    What you linked to said absolutely nothing about this. It's a legitimate argument. The only way that the government having the right to tell people what they can or can not put in their own body makes sense is if it's the government that owns their bodies. So, are the bodies of the citizens...
