obama exists... god doesn't... and obama was viewed as the better of two choices by a majority.. that's all..
so lets not make this more than it is or compare apples to oranges
there is no evidence to support the existence of god.. period.. there just isn't. as much as it would be lovely to have a guiding god to support humanity through it's struggles.. it's virtually 100 percent unlikely
Are you saying Obama is better than God? Your sentence structure is bad.

I have no sentence structure.. I'm sipping wine and watching tv while listening to music and posting on CD forum...
if you can't come up with a response to my response.. by all means attack my grammar and sentence structure.. that's always the high road isn't it?
I never said obama is greater than god.. I said obama is a person, something that is tangible that exists.. god is not, and does not.. is that saying I substitute obama where you would put god? absolutely not.. he's a simple human being like the rest of us.. that is all
That's wrong. Catholics are against ARTIFICIAL birth control.
Thanks for clearing that up. Its easy to believe lies and propaganda when spread by the media. Much of what people believe about Evangelicals is just that.
I've read news reports in past years of evangelical groups trying to stop sex ed in high schools and specifically stop giving info on BC to students; the evangelical spin is that teaching "kids" about BC will make them want to go have sex, and we all know how awful sex is.
Whether or not we're "teetering on the edge" is debatable, but what is not debatable is that the GOP is AWOL on this topic while they're out pandering to every single-issue voting bloc the GOP can round up and herd into an electoral majority.
So Mike tells us how "handing out BC in school" will make students NOT want to go and have sex.
Excerpt: Then, in 1966, Paul VI's birth control commission presented its preliminary report to the pope. It held big news: The body had overwhelmingly voted to recommend lifting the prohibition on contraceptives. (The former Archbishop of Brussels, Cardinal Leo Suenens, went so far as to say the church needed to confront reality and avoid another "Galileo case.")
It took just 3 old farts in the vatican to scare the pope enough that he did not "confront reality" and instead stick with the voodoo that denied "approval" to use contraception. Latest stats are that 98% of catholics do use contraception and have no intention of stopping.
Catholic hospitals hand out all sorts of pills and medical products, but can't hand out BC pills and condoms. IMO that's utter lunacy and that's the utter lunacy that the GOP mouthed this season and lost their ass, like total moron Akin and his "legitimate rape" rape crap, and when it comes to today's GOP, it would sure be nice if I could just "shut that whole thing down."
Aside from the idiocy of believing that anyone has the right to control another's body, life and decisions, is the idiocy of responsibiity that that idiocy would proliferate. I wonder if someone will be assigned to each pregnant woman to follow her around to make certain that she was not doing anything to hurt the fetus. Will she get a fine for missing an appointment with her obstetrician? Will she be incarcerated for eating junk food while pregnant? That whole thing about being forced to carry to term the child conceived during rape is mind boggling!!! Only someone with zero empathy, almost a sociopath, could imagine a woman being forced by law to do that. So much for religious types and their benevolence.
Not even close to accurate. What should scare all women at the mere mention of Santorum in any political capacity is his belief that states have the right to ban birth control altogether.
What should scare women is that sentence. Geesh. Hogwash.

Why is that idiocy when chopping up a baby in utero is ok and fine and dandy?
So you be satisfied in believing that you have successfully analyzed a man that actually lived the Evangleical belief system and made the conscious decision to leave it behind. What gives you the credentials? He has since come to understand that many people are born homosexuals, that climate change exists, etc, so I don't see how anyone can preceive this person as angry, but rather open-minded and embracing what the world around him tells him makes more sense. You are closed minded, so don't project your limited sphere of thinking on others.
This thread is not to argue religion, but rather to expose how the religious are being exploited for money and power by the special interests. Dogmatic religious people do tend to be far more gullible than most. These special interest power and money hungry entities are having a negative affect on how the government and religion are melding in a way never intended.
There is no proof people are born homosexual----you are just taking that on faith. OMG there is that word again---faith.
Of course climate change exists---it always has or don't you see the seasons changing?
Talk about gullible.
