    Prayer in Public Schools

    Actually teen birth rates AND pregnancies were down 20% at the turn of the century and experienced a slight rise in this first decade due to Republican abstinence only school curriculum. They`re on their way back down again but I`m sure the new batch of Repubs will "fix" that pretty quick...

    10 commandments, for men only...

    Pretty much. If you read the rest of the OT you`ll find women were simply the possessions of men with rules for their treatment, exchange, and sale.

    Can You Be Good Without God?

    I think you don`t understand public stock trading or charitable trust funding. Any major financial move these guys make is public knowledge since their fortunes were made through the stock market. Since they use their money in the form of a charitable trust it is further regulated by...

    Can You Be Good Without God?

    It would also be understood if created by fornits so now we must add the concept of humans unable to be good without fornits. This is going to get extensive and very convoluted if we keep following your line of reasoning. :)

    If you take away religion, what arguments are there against homosexuality?

    How is this an argument against homosexuality? There are many heteros who cannot or will not "make babies". In fact I see this fact as an argument "for" homosexuality considering many homosexual couples want children, they tend to adopt giving loving homes to otherwise unwanted children.

    Automating the fight against creationism

    The difference is that Shakespeare actually created the plays. Darwin didn`t create evolution he was just the first to successfully write about it`s driving force. Evolution already existed as it always had. He was just one of the first to notice and understand it. He was not a creator but...

    Automating the fight against creationism

    There are literally billions of anti-atheist "bots" in use today. They aren`t software but flesh and blood, the database they run off is very similar though. :) To the OP: That takes all the fun out of it.

    Consenting Adults

    Because the influence of my government and my culture ends at my skin. This life is mine, I am the sole auditor of it`s value. I determine what aspects of it increase or decrease it`s value. I decide when it`s value is best utilized by ending it or extending it. The whole concept is a...

    Is Hell Necessary To Christianity?

    I think the LDS afterlife theology is solid evidence that the concept of "hell" in any form is not necessary for Christianity. The only thing I can think of that would be a load bearing column for Christianity is the death, rise, & ascension of Christ.

    Prayer in Public Schools

    But the liberal progressives would have evidenced data to support their point of view while conservatives would have what they usually have, lies, spin, and propaganda. Did you not see the link I posted which showed the decrease in school violence in the past 15 years? Youth Violence Project...

    If you take away religion, what arguments are there against homosexuality?

    Yes but I`m not making an argument against homosexuality as there isn`t one.Not a secular argument anyway. I`m making an argument against love.That would require a new thread. :)

    If you take away religion, what arguments are there against homosexuality?

    Not where I was going really. This is more where I was going. Not considered "wrong" so much as "not healthy". However this is a discussion for an entirely different thread. :)

    If you take away religion, what arguments are there against homosexuality?

    I can think of a lot of them. None that should be the basis for making it illegal though.

    Why are Muslims killing each other?

    I`m a Catholic atheist! The Church doesn`t let you go once your baptized no matter what. Even if I converted to Protestant atheism the Catholic church would still consider me a Catholic atheist. I can`t win. Stephen has a point about killing for Catholic or Protestant atheism. In his...

    Prayer in Public Schools

    This is allowed under US law as it should be. Students can even form prayer groups and pray together as long as it does not interfere with their daily schedule/classes. It does not have to be done in an empty space nor should empty/private space required. So you believe theists should be...

    Inefficient US Heath Care System Causes Drop in Life Expectancy

    How do you define "Best"? I`m by no means poor and have few health problems in my family and I still think it sucks for numerous reasons. Whats up with that?

    Consenting Adults

    Thankfully you`re not in charge. My existence is by no means subject to any imagined "mandate". It is mine and mine alone, I will do whatever I wish with it. On that note I change my "Not Sure" to a "Hell Yes". We already allow it anyway, hell we promote it, we idolize those that...
