Its a common fallacy of the warhawk, pro-bush crowd that those that oppose the invasion of Iraq and continued occupation there automatically think poorly of our troops. I've yet to encounter a single anti-war proponet that did not have the utmost res...  [Read More]

Using a mythological document to ensure the validity of someone's testimony before a court of law (a secular institution) is foolhardy. Furthermore, simply demanding that a person of an unknown religion accept this means of validation as legitimate e...  [Read More]

I think only a few local courts in some backwoods states/localities still do the bible-swearing thing. The U.S. District Court, for instance, uses the following: "You do affirm that all the testimony you are about to give in the case now before...  [Read More]

But SkinWalker this whole debate is about homosexuality, why would we talk about anything other than homosexuality? I don't think I've suggested any line of discussion other than homosexuality or same-sex marriage. I'm saying that the religious argu...  [Read More]

Mistakes are fine. I just don't want to be preached to about how a particular segment of society is evil or counter to christian doctrine, certainly not while it cannot demonstrate that said doctrine is important enough to follow. I hypothesize that...  [Read More]

I'm opposed to homosexuality in the same way I'm opposed to liver and onions. I just have no appetite for it. But I won't stand for anyone imposing their religious taboos on you, keeping you from eating liver and onions. I think Revan noticed the de...  [Read More]

Let's cut the bickering about one person and focus on the topic, please. I'm tempted to go through and prune the spammy/flamey posts, but it doesn't seem to be an easy or fair task, so I ask that we turn back toward the topic of same-sex marriage and...  [Read More]

If you don't like the idea of gay marriages, the answer is simple: don't marry someone of your own gender. Otherwise, there's no logical reason to disallow same-sex marriage. None. Religious reasons are irrelevent. Religion does NOT have domain ov...  [Read More]

Consenting adults of the same species should be allowed to marry according to whatever beliefs that they hold to be true. If your religion demands that you follow a particular protocol for being married, then you should adhere to it if you wish to re...  [Read More]
