OR House: Matt Wingard blocks child abuse bill :
This clam that we need religion to figure out right and wrong or to "provide a basis for moral law" is not surprisingly faith-based. Our laws are of course a reflection of our moral views, our beliefs about right and wrong. Ironically, relative to your claim, lawyers, judges, cops, cannot ...
OR House: Matt Wingard blocks child abuse bill :
Oh Bill, there you go again. Nobody ever said religion/people of faith is responsible for every ill/evil in the world, that is just you twisting my words out of frustration. Please show me where I have made this claim if you disagree. It is your unsupported opinion that ...
OR House: Matt Wingard blocks child abuse bill :
So you're saying that one religious group is a little more unreasonable than the other. Fair enough. I'll add that the "behavioral history of the RCC" is that of oppressing women and non-heterosexuals. Somewhere out there in internet land is a debate between Chris Hitchens and a Catholic ...
OR House: Matt Wingard blocks child abuse bill :
Let me try to simplify this for you Bill. When people's understanding of right and wrong is based on fantasy, i.e., everything was created by "God" and His word is in one handy book, you increase the odds for incredible idiocy like we see here and frankly every ...
OR House: Matt Wingard blocks child abuse bill :
It's the "religious moderates" who lend credibility to the fantasy-based ideology of the "fundamentalists." Moderates also protect the "fundamentalists" by shielding their ideology from scrutiny. And aren't the "fundamentalists" the ones who are more knowledgeable about their religion, the Bible, the Koran, etc.? How is it the ones ...
OR House: Matt Wingard blocks child abuse bill :
This is of course just the kind of lunacy that we should all expect from people whose understanding of right and wrong is based on religious fantasy.
Waiting for Marriage Equity:
Not discussing religion in the fight for marriage equality is like not discussing Wall St. in the fight for economic justice.
Waiting for Marriage Equity:
Oh where to begin. You've twisted a lot of my words. It's not my opinion that "religion is nonsense." However, it's a fact that religions like Christianity, Islam, etc, are based on fantasies. You know....the universe was created by "God" and His word is in one ...
Waiting for Marriage Equity:
Tell me Kari, when is the appropriate time to try to convince people that belief in fantasies is a bad idea? We can chew gum and walk at the same time. Here's a link to a story about how an Islamic Canadian family "honor" killed their four teenage daughters ...
Waiting for Marriage Equity:
It's pretty simple Bill...the more people rely on religious fantasies to understand the world, the more we increase the odds for faith-based lunacy like the war on non-heterosexuals, the war on women, the war on science, etc.
