    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    When do you get to that part? Who decides what constitutes true religion? Fail to and it might as well have. Or, while I'd agree the truth of a religion is necessarily a subjective, experiential and private thing, the effects of it almost can't be or we reduce God to some narcissistic reflection.

    Same here...difference I don't really mind. Difference indifferently or lazily arrived at, the slap-dash and onion thing, that irks me.

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    Legal arguments against homosexual marriage

    The institution of marriage hasn't been redefined, only who is allowed to enter into it. Punished how? Marginalized in what respect? I mean, you don't have a right to be respected for holding a view strongly. Most racists hold strong views, permissible views, but no one has to salute them for...

    Why the hell do we need relgion ?.

    Assumption is the problem with both questions. I was fairly clear about the why of my objection to the first and being pregnant might not be objectionable at all, depending on the person. It would be miraculous in my case, given my gender, but the state itself isn't inherently or even mostly...
