Thats not at all what I said.......

Soly might have a bitching shop and if I was in the neighborhood I'd buy Mags etc from him.

Yet another thread derailed by religion-bashing. This is getting to be far too regular an occurrence in these forums.

Believing the earth is 6000 years old (or some other young earth nonsense) in spite of easily verified and observable evidence to the contrary shows a short circuit in critical thinking and analysis. Relevant xkcd http://xkcd.com/154/

Take a look at where most of the money opposing gay marriage, etc... comes from and get back to me.

Religion taught at school from a religious indoctrination point of view or an academic point of view?

The first amendment prohibits a government funded religion. That has been interpreted to mean not allowing public money to be spent promoting religion. You know the drill.

I don't think that a business should have to deal with people they don't want to. On the other hand, when you open a business, you do so knowing the laws of the land in which you operate, which include non discrimination. However, yeah. That's some hardcore persecution. I bet Christians are afraid to walk the streets now, for fear of cake eating queers.

Umm... go hang out with some of the Pro Israel Evangelical crowd. Ethnic cleansing may be too harsh a word, but those nuts have a raging hard on for Israel. They need Israel to complete their messianic apocalyptic dogma, plus they think they get special cookies from God for supporting Israel. In a nutshell, Muslims bad, Israel must control Jerusalem, Temple on the Mount has to go, Jewish temple must be built again, then receive Jebus!

He said Christian religious nuts are hawks, not all Christians.

Which religion did you not like see bashed? The one that has a book full of an angry god ordering his followers to slaughter non believers and that treats women as second class citizens, or the other one that has a book full of an angry god ordering his followers to slaughter non believers and that treats women as second class citizens?

There is clear cut empirical evidence showing the planet is far older than 6,000 years old. And that is just human created artifacts. I've watched the Nye/Hamm debte. Hamm is a hack and a nutter. 2/10 wouldn't waste my time again. Beliefs are meaningless against facts and observable data, and trying to compare religious dogma to citable fact based science is so off balance as to lack value.

You sound like a middle of the road Christian. Good on you. The far right versions are the ones that drive a lot more political power than you might think. I was raised in a far right religious household and held those beliefs into my 20's. It's real. All too fucking real, and downright scary, especially the Israel shit.

So because YOU think its a cult? By definition its a religion. The fastest growing religion in the world actually. Im not excited about it, but our constitution has to work for everyone, not just people you deem worthy.

For the most part, I like what you post here to the forum. My only reservation is that you have a cat.

A religion has love for their fellow man, they help their fellow man, they feed their fellow man. How many Islamic churches send aid to Africa? How many have soup kitchens to feed the homeless?

I don't see any love coming from Islam. I see hate, misogynistic men who treat women like cattle, I see intolerance for anyone different. I also see a lot of murdering of people who do not believe in Islam


Mark my words......Islam will be the cause of the next World War

My cat is a badass cat. Ask Soldier Citizen.

I don't doubt that your cat is badass. I just find people with cats....shifty sometimes.
