I am quite furious that this Prop is even on the ballot
teh ACLU is already fighting it.
the demographics of the polls are such that if a recall election of the amendment were to be held in 5 years, it would easily sway the other way. this whole ban thing isnt gona last one way or another .
.in the bible, the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth thing was extended to unborn babies. It shows how "God" feels about when life begins.
but what does your god have to do with the law?
I never said any of this had to do with gut feelings. I'm interested in the research that is so well documented to which you are referring.
start with newton.
I might be way off on this, but I'm thinking you're an agnostic, not atheist. no, I think evidence shows a pretty clear lack of a supreme being. but its not something i have to believe, because its actually supported by evidence. this has nothing to do with gut feelings.
atheists mistake god for the flying spaghetti monster- but god isn't an illusion- this is just a primitive way to see the nature of advanced intelligence in the universe which is in EVERY WAY equivalent to our concepts of deism/theism/demonology
you seem to misunderstand the scientific method.
as an atheist, I dont BELIEVE there is a god. nor do I BELIEVE there isn't a god.
try to think about this.
The American Civil Liberties Union has two things they fight for (and have a lot of money to do it): freedom of expression (which is good) and erradication of religion from anything public-related, even if it was not paid with public funds (which kind of contradicts the first point they defend). This doesn't only extend to government. Their atheist agenda is pretty obvious and quite aggressive in its delivery.
you left out NAMBLA.
anyway, what cases are you talking about exactly with the second point? I hadn't heard about this.
"Secular humanism" is mostly a marketing term used by religious anti-science types. These folks think logic and reason and religion are incompatible with each other. Therefore, they try and brand logic and reason as a "religion".
us scientific anti-religion types also think faith isn't logical or reasonable.
..dumb rather.
FFS - just shoot them both and have doen with it already!
It doesnt matter anyway - they're just puppets on a string.
but the strings lead different places.
