well... no. His books aren't really good examples of literary postmodernism, like McCarthy, Pynchon or Delilo, or of pulp, like Philip K Dick and Percy. Maybe a low functioning Joseph Heller? His hagiography in atheist circles is a form of tribalism, much like their veneration of hitchens...

sorry bro, but even in limited genre of sci fi pulp, vonnegut is kind of mediocre compared to PKD or Percy.

he did we fell. also ease up on the prolix writing style.

Its not a terribly interesting conversation since they do not accept the precepts of the church. "Well, i think the church shouldn't be picking on those nuns, thats awful. Also they should allow women to be priests. And married priests. And the eucharist is just bread, don't be silly. oh, and...

There is no reason to discuss this issue with atheists because it is an internal affair. My issue with vatican II is merely that it renders some doctrines ambiguous, and this resulted in heterodox factions in the Church claiming that all sorts of nonsense is permitted. This typically happens...

How is the animal taking the active role not giving consent?

well, no, arabs had domestic uses of slaves as well. They had enormous peasant populations, so they had no need of slave labor, but they an insatiable apetite for sex slaves and domestic workers.

So is there anything wrong with being the receptive partner with an animal? Consent is certainly obtained in that situation. Or are you one of those chaps who thinks you need a verbal statement, written affidavit, two witnesses and a notary public present in order to establish consent ^_^

i for one think jesus was personally involved in the harlem witch burnings. ^_^

You can already stave in a cow's head, eat its flesh, and turns its hide into over priced boots. And you don't need "consent" for any of that. This is one example in which harm/consent based morality fails. inappropriate behavior with animals is wrong because it is degenerate, an abomination to the natural order.

the church is putting up a great deal of obscuration on this issue in the last few decades. Pelegianism is still rejected; men are not justified by works alone. If the Church wants to waffle on semantics and flirt with settld error in order to play at pointless ecumenicalism, that is her...

Krugman is the worst. He'll ship your job to the third world but promises to give you a sweet allowance if you sign onto his perverse ideologies. When the revolution comes, the economists be the first against the wall.

gotta tariff china otherwise they'll just ship the jobs out. I agree though. Raise the wages, shut the borders.

actually nm, there is absolutely no reason to discuss this issue with atheists

91% of nuns with final vows are over the age of 60. What do you think happened in the 1960's to the Church that stopped interest in religious life?

fantine, in many ways you are a very conservative person. The 70's are over, the experiments have been tried, and the results are in.

well... actually we have tried to devise mathematics courses that incorporate set theory at pre-college level, and they've all been dismal failures.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math They express their opposition to in a way that is reminiscient of the old Cantor controversy of the...

well, (6) is verifiably true. It wasn't excatly a white supremacist as we currently know it. They also hated jews (immoral movies) and catholics (bootleggers), haha. They were nativists. About 30% of lynching occured to white people; if disproprotionate impact is sufficient to claim "racial...

^_^ i bet this guy knows what hes talking about. I should argue with him maybe learn something new.
