oh conservatives, you silly things. I wish you realized where the "information" you use to back your arguments came from. usually your ignorance makes me sad but today I just feel sorry for you and hope for a better future for us all and generations to follow. You preach of your Christian roots and how that makes you stronger... then you forget your own religious teachings and contradict them completely. Christ said to "love your neighbor as yourself", and to treat others as you yourself would want to be treated. And when he said neighbors he meant everyone - friend or foe. Learn to love your enemies like you love your friends and you will realize a much more beautiful, peaceful existence. And if you want to know where my information came from, open the Bible, and look up some scholarly articles. I don't rely on propaganda, rumors, and lies, solely the truth and what you yourselves state as absolute truth. (And if you want specifics, I would be happy to cite them for you at length smile).

hey, thanks for the comment! Sorry I meant to be a bit more specific (I was trying to stay awake after an hour of sleep waiting for the plumber tongue) - I meant super right wing Christian Conservatives. And I agree 100%, not all conservatives or liberals are the same or can be lumped together smile. It's funny all of the examples you used are the same ones I used in my Ethics term paper this year on why the popular Christian response to homosexuality and gay marriage is in itself immoral and goes completely against the religion's own teachings. Thanks for sharing smile, I love political and philosophical discussion!

Well as I mentioned, I AM the son of an Assembly of God (aka Pentecostal, Book of Revelations, DOOMSDAY CULT) Minister, so I can quote scripture backwards and forwards, which is probably the primary reason I'm not the least bit religious!! One thing I think Joseph Stalin got right, "Organized religion is the opiate of the ignorant masses!!" Given that I was drilled on the Bible from my earliest recollections, I also began to question at an early age, which put me on a ideological collision path with my parents practically before puberty!! To me, there were just too many conflicts and contradictions in the Bible for it to be the "inspired" word of God!! Now to be sure, I am a hard-core, right-wing Conservative Republican, but that doesn't automatically make me homophobic, or itching to overturn Row v Wade!! Unfortunately, that is a bit of a stereotype hoisted upon Conservatives by the Dominate, Liberal, Media Culture!! Who you have sex with and a woman's right to make decisions about her own body are issues I believe would certainly be protected by the freedoms guaranteed within the Constitution!! That being said, feel free to write anytime about politics and philosophy, like you these are two of my favorite topics!!

Take Care,
Woody
