Go ahead and let religious institutions not have taxes. Its not really a big deal. Besides, religious institutions do provide a great deal of charity anyways. I suppose that on principle of fairness many would like a taxing law passed to tax religio...  [Read More]

*Pic and quote of House* I think that's somewhat unfair... I may be secular but I disagree. Religious people can reason, and its kind of derogatory to say that that they can't with some seemingly clever/insightful quote. [rhetorical]How do you think...  [Read More]

They might sound bizarre and ridiculous to us, but irrational is not a word I would use. There is always a reason behind everything, and anthropologists are out to find out what that is. The sacredness of cows stems from the pastoral Aryans who are...  [Read More]

Honestly, Evil Q, I don't find that to be a good reason to not believe in Christianity. How some or a majority of a religion's followers behave does not effect whether or not the religion is true. A religious organization can band together to do grea...  [Read More]

I can understand why concealing clothing like this would be banned by claim of security reasons, but I think the underlying reason for this is really a political statement about women's rights. (And I'm all for treating people as equals.) However it...  [Read More]

So what are they going to do to enforce it? If someone wants to where a Niqab or Burka and does, are the police going to throw them in jail if they refuse to remove the clothing item? I doubt anyone who actively wears such clothing items is going to...  [Read More]

I'm not surprised. It's human nature to behave like this. It's unfortunate, but it makes sense. Controversial issues can make some people very heated. I've seen it everywhere - the news, youtube debate videos, forums, protests... That behavior of sha...  [Read More]
