Is it when they call for the government to assassinate the leader of a country that they don't like? Is that when they called to assassinate Bush Sr's life? No it wasn't. It was when Pat Robertson called for the US to assassinate Chavez. I'm not talking about politicos, I'm talking about religious leaders. Chavez should file charges. Let due process work. BTW, that due process was set up by evil religious people. Clinton sent a couple of missiles into an emply office building to show that you can't just go around threatening the President. Is it when they call for holy war? Yeh, I think we should draw the line at Jihad. There ya go! Bravo! I was wondering if you were racist and only hated WASP's that call for Jihad. Is it when they launch inquisitions? Saddam confessed to crimes. Not Saddam. But religious leaders have often had purges, inquisitions, and the like. Those damned religious people. I wonder if non-religious people have ever committed atrocities. Kill people in the name of an Exorcism? Is it when a Catholic priest is expelled from the UAR after serving a jail sentence for the crime of evangelizing without a permit? Is it when the preacher stands in the pulpit and declares that if you vote for a certain political party, you have to leave the church? And in my own case, where the local fundies put such a stranglehold on the school system that not only is evolution not taught at all, but that no teaching about any dinosaurs or any animal that didn't live in modern time was taught or discussed. Abuses in publice education? Couldn't be. Yup. In the name of religion. Which religion? Public education is the grand indoctrination that our children receive from the left. Yeah, I keep hearing that. My experience has been otherwise. The far right controlled education and what we learned in my little burg. Keep blaming everything on liberals. It's almost as easy as religion. ....as blaming on religion? You tell me. My "sex ed" class consisted of one session of naming of various STDs, and that was it. That is it. less than an hour. I've seen the other side, and it isn't pretty. What did your parent's tell you? Nutthin. OIC. You blame religion for not teaching you things that your parents are responsible for teaching you, but when your parents fall down on the job, it's still the religious people who are blamed. You're double standard is multi-faceted. I got my education at the public library, reading the books that the far right wanted the library to get rid of. It was nice of them to give out the titles though. Gay stuff? Recently, one upstanding citizen removed all of the "alternative lifestyle" free newspapers from the lobby of a public library. Said he didn't want his children to have to walk past it. There is one problem with religious tolerance, and that is that many religions have no concept of tolerance themselves. Fine. It's called seperation of Church and State. We have that and more. As rights are denied to Christians, the pendulum begins to swing the other way. Problem is that what some Christians consider their right, is to deprive others of their rights. Odd. I just reread the Bill of Rights, and I see no right to sex education. For that matter, I see no right to education at all. As such, it is a parental obligation to educate you or to pay to have you educated. I've been in a religion controlled community. I know how they act when they are allowed to. Get out. Lock up people who make threats against other people and quit whining to me about it. I have no idea what you mean here Robertson vs Chavez. Aren't you supposed to be an educated man? Supposed to be. Didn't find out about a lot of things that I should have known until after I graduated High School. - Mike KB3EIA - You weren't supposed to learn everything in high school. That's why we have colleges. Know anyone who's living depends on other people thinking there's more to learn? So it's okay to have forbidden knowledge? Some issues may not be appropriate to teach in public school. For example, I draw the line at "intro to Jihad," "intro to bomb making," and "intro to the combustible properties of effigies of the President of the USA." Meanwhile, I trust that your personal oddysey into human sexual intercourse education was a success? Dinosaurs are dangerous? What threat does a dinosaur have to religion? Don't know - never seen one. Never seen God, for what that's worth. Life is a life-long learning experience. Learn something today. Always do! - Mike KB3EIA - Hey, Joslyn Elders advocated teaching masturbation to school children. You should look her up. You guys might make a dynamic duo on the sex ed scene. |

Is a persons faith a sacred cow? Should Mormons (the men of course) be allowed to marry as many women as they want? As many as they want? maybe not, as many as they can convince to marry sure, why not? why should polygamy be banned? why for that matter shoudl polyandry be banned? Are religious radicals sacred? Okay, let me make fun of atheists..... Q. What is the worst part about being an atheist? A. No one to talk to during Orgasm..... So where do we stop, Brian? Has it started? Oh absolutely.

Not sure wher Pat is a resident, but in the state where Pat lives is a good place to start Clinton sent a couple of missiles into an emply office building to show that you can't just go around threatening the President.

Where do you get this stuff Brian? I don't like any religion that tries to impress it's beliefs on others, that engages in killing in the name of God, and in general allows people of "faith" to use that faith to cause harm. indeed then you are much a fan of Cristain beliefs then I take it cut |

Uhhhhhhhhhhh...it's against the law. why should polygamy be banned? why for that matter shoudl polyandry be banned? Let's start of with inability to support the extended family for one. The number one problem in polygamy-prone communities is abject poverty. Follow that with chronic medical problems associated with in-breeding. So where do we stop, Brian? Has it started? Oh absolutely. Is it when they call for the government to assassinate the leader of a country that they don't like? Is that when they called to assassinate Bush Sr's life? No it wasn't.

Not sure wher Pat is a resident, but in the state where Pat lives is a good place to start Guess you missed the point, Markie... I am sure the "evil religious people" he was refring to were the Founding Fathers who took it upon themselves to put ambiguous language about "seperation of church and state" in the Constitution, however liberally sprinkle "relgion" throughout the political process. Bravo! I was wondering if you were racist and only hated WASP's that call for Jihad. Where do you get this stuff Brian? I don't like any religion that tries to impress it's beliefs on others, that engages in killing in the name of God, and in general allows people of "faith" to use that faith to cause harm. indeed then you are much a fan of Cristain beliefs then I take it "Christian" "than" There's not a one of the major religions that does not preach "love, tolerance and understading" that does not subsequently turn around and use overt and covert violence in order to perpetuate its doctrine or control at some point.

The point is a lot of people *don't* like either. A number of people do. But turning it into a religious matter, ala some religions, and then expecting all others to accept that, with no comment is simply incorrect. Brian has a big problem with my making fun of what I consider some of the more silly aspects of religion. Some people find that 2 wives is one too many. Some say the same of 1 wife...... Are religious radicals sacred? Okay, let me make fun of atheists..... Q. What is the worst part about being an atheist? A. No one to talk to during Orgasm..... So where do we stop, Brian?

I don't quite get that, Mark. - Mike KB3EIA - |
