    Religious Right, Abortion, and Death Penality

    What do you make of people who support the whole/consistent life ethic? There are people who reject abortion, capital punishment, assisted suicide and war for philosophical and theological reasons that they can articulate pretty well. They are also generally supportive of social welfare...

    The alcohol problem

    The drunkenness is almost certainly causing a spiritual state of separation from God. Re-connection to spirituality is a common effect of sobriety. The other character, though, suffers from a different kind of separation. There's something to the disease or at least escapist model of...

    "Almost Everything the Media Tell You About Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Is Wrong"

    I have no idea how this will bode for the groups you mention. I am, however, not surprised to see this level of analysis from professionals whose standing demands that they endorse the same groups that deny tens of thousands of years of genetic separation and varying hominid admixture levels...

    What the Heck is Going on in France with the Burkini??

    I do not agree with the policy. Were I a lawmaker in France, I would presumably not vote for it. But it is the law, and it is a respectable law. I am going to say something that a lot of people who are European want to say but usually feel that they cannot say: You do not get to dictate...

    What the Heck is Going on in France with the Burkini??

    That would be an improvement. Extract the alien religion altogether and all.

    Practical ways to bridge the white/black USA gap

    Forget the pre-millennials. If we are going to use the nation state model, America needs ethnogenesis. One that includes blacks and other minorities as well as whites. The alternative on the right is horrifying and the alternative on the left is anti-white and increasingly neo-liberal, so...

    Nationalism?

    We don't have homelands. Not really. You live and breathe and exist where you do right now, divorced from the anchors of old history, with its forgotten allegiances and enmities. You aren't pulled to England, for example, as a result of some nonexistent collective racial memory that ties you...

    Five reasons Brexit could signal Trump winning the White House

    I realize that. My point is that what the UK went through was an issue referendum, not a decision on political leadership. In other words, I doubt that Farage would have been selected (directly or indirectly) as the leader of the UK by UK voters, even though many of them agree with his position...

    Nationalism?

    Arbitrary, yes. Powerful as well. Powerful enough to organize Jews to reclaim a "homeland" after a couple thousand years in "exile." And there are plenty of European descended people today who can recall relatives from the "Old World." A myth? Yes, all of it is a myth. But humans live by...

    Five reasons Brexit could signal Trump winning the White House

    An American referendum on globalization and immigration might produce a similar result, but the idea that Brexit suggests a Trump presidency is about as likely as suggesting that the referendum is evidence Nigel Farage would be directly elected prime minister of the UK.

    Millennials, Please Just Shut Up

    Except they are preparing to negotiate a deal that is worse for them in terms of their financial contribution, may require even more concessions on migration, and yet will not give them a voice in EU policy. There's a reason the rest of the world is puzzled.

    The Assassination of British MP Jo Cox Has Intensified Britain's Political Crisis

    I have been given assurances, based on reactions to similar events in the US, that there is no need to concern yourself with the ideology of the murderer because his only motivation is mental illness. Religion and political affiliation is totally irrelevant it is Brexitphobic to even ask about it.

    Was The Orlando Shooting Islamic Terrorism or Domestic Gun Violence

    In fact, when was the last time that we saw a repressed/self-loathing gay guy shoot up a bar full of gay people? Just how often does that happen, exactly? And if they did it and claimed allegiance to Christian Identity or some other extremist hate group, I suspect that we might, just might...

    String Theory Co-Founder: Sub-Atomic Particles Are Evidence the Universe Was Created

    Wow, he confirmed the existence of tachyons? Hold the press, where's the reporting on particles that move faster than light??? He's moving into Deepak territory with this. I blame a desire to sell books, get a TED Talk and/or appear as the next guest "On Being"

    I want to believe in God again.

    Just be Catholic. Honestly, you seem like a Catholic to me. You have roots in it, you are often drawn back to it, it is part of your familial and personal history. Will the church itself accept you fully? Probably not, no. But there are plenty of people within Catholicism that the church...

    Executing homosexuals in accordance with Shari'a law

    This is what bothers me about posts like this. Yeah, only Islamic countries have active death penalties on the books (although Christian extremists have tried very hard to introduce those same punishments in Uganda). But some of those countries not only don't enforce those laws, they basically...

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    And despite protests to the contrary, this was not a false flag, nor was 9/11. Just because the Orlando mass shooter has a really weird background does not suggest that there was some sort of conspiracy on the part of government (or as you suggested upthread, the Rothschilds, which really puts...

    Should Gays Forgive Abrahamics?

    See? If only you believed you worshiped the same evil god, evangelical and Islamic extremists would have a wonderful relationship with one another.

    He's Gay!?! Ex-wife Says Omar Mateen was Gay

    So because his religion brainwashed him into self-hatred and violent homophobic impulses, we can totally ignore the role his religion played in all of this by simply noting that he had gay sex and drank some alcohol. By this standard, the 9/11 hijackers were acolytes of Richard Dawkins!
