From the same fin folks who brought you,

The Spanish Inquisition
The rape of the Americas, including the murder of millions of natives
The Salem witch trials
The murder of 15,000,000 Hindus in India
The Crusades
The persecution of science
The dark ages
Victorianism

I could go on but I think you get the point.

Now about that avatar?

Get with the times, these do not apply to today's argument, except for the idea of a State sponsored religion which no one here, except Muslims and Mormons, would support.

Huh? I'm starting to loose my balance following your argument.

Would that be the "Holy Trinity?"

Inspector Cluseau's got nothing on me. Next deduction, you spend quite a bit of time dwelling on your belief system.

But this thread has nothing to do with religion.

Folks did I mention that we need more money to assure that all of you will make it into heaven. Get your zygote credits today! You don't want to be empty handed on judgment day. Sent payment to Mule c/o PPOT.

Is your background Jewish? What's with the Santa Dog?

Jewish? Not quite. French / Spanish heritage from N.O., raised Catholic, but it didn't take. The dog is an attempt to show the true vicious nature of my rescued bulldog.

Charlie Chan you ain't!

This thread has EVERYTHING to do with religion.

The abortion "issue" has been hijacked by religious interests in order to use it as a stepping stone to infuse their agenda into secular government. This, more than any other individual reason, is why we have to "hold the line" and refuse to budge on Roe v. Wade, imperfect though that decision might be. . .

Like it or not, if we appeal Roe v. Wade tomorrow, even for clearly stated SECULAR reasons, the religious wackos would tout it as a victory, it would embolden them and we'd have a thousand other issues popping up that they'd be demanding change on, additional lawsuits, etc.

At least by having the abortion thing hanging out there, it serves as a "lightning rod" for these types which keeps them focused and contained, thus minimizing the real damage they can do and chaos they can create. It's uncomfortable, but it does serve a useful purpose.

The smartest thing to do is to give the abortion thing just enough attention so these types think they might just have a shot at changing it, but never act on it. It's the old "carrot" trick. By doing this, it keeps them and their agendas from spreading too much.

I'm not saying your wrong Frogger, but they are hypocritical if they profess to follow Jesus who dismantled worldly theocracy, but try themselves to bring it back. Perhaps whoever you are referring to are simply misguided?

Having said that, there is no way to divorce your morality from legislation, it is in essence who you are and would be inconceivable to imagine otherwise. It can, and should, have influences, but it won't to the extent that it would justify POP's type of paranoia. I think we can easily dismiss those fears.

It seems like the black and white on this issue falls onto the religion of atheism and the gray areas are left to the theists.

You think because a news story passes the blame of the Democrats continual failures onto a third party like religion, that suddenly something stinks. Well it just ain't so. There's no change in reality, just spin and you guys fall for it every time. Stop being spoon fed your information and start thinking for yourselves!

So, you're not going to step up? I still want to know what religious dogma I'm going to force on you.
