    Without God, there are no inalienable rights

    As this forum, "church and state", is for discussing the relationship between religion and government, I get the impression that the originator of this thread, "American", equates separation of church and state with the removal of God from the "minds of the people". Would living in a republic...

    God will save us from climate change: U.S. Representative

    What next, chicken entrails? The failure here may be poor science education. For instance, if asked, a lot of folks would answer "thermometer" to the question "What device is used for measuring heat?". It seems that a substantial proportion also don't know what is meant by "the latent of fusion"...

    Massive Muslim inbreeding over 1,400 years may have ruined gene pool

    The election of Rand Paul calls to question the rates of consanguinity in Kentucky.

    Massive Muslim inbreeding over 1,400 years may have ruined gene pool

    At face value, the notion that Muslims are inbred is utterly silly. Last I heard, the world's population of Muslims is a multiple of that of Christians. Who's swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool now?

    Can government create jobs?

    The Apollo project, which returned to Earth a few hundred kilos of the moon, would never have been accomplished by private enterprise. The goal set by President Kennedy stimulated the development of new technologies, among them the microprocessor. Bill Gates and others owe their fortunes to the...

    Question for people who believe being gay to be wrong

    Blackdog, post 494: And yet the only reason we know he is, is in the Bible. Blackdog, post 501: You make this out like I only believe in God because of the Bible. Bumpy, this post: Huh?

    Without God, there are no inalienable rights

    Truths held as self evident? These "self-evident truths" so eloquently asserted in the DOI are clearly concerning human nature, and not the nature of whatever created Humanity. "Endowed by their Creator" speaks of us, and leaves open any questions of our origins, or what is meant by "Creator"...

    O'Donnell Questions Separation of Church, State in Senate Debate

    Science and Truth? Science, as a human activity, is done precisely because we don't know the truth, or even if such a thing exists for that mater. This ever expanding frontier of ignorance is a wonderful place for any curious mind. The Theory of Evolution is, like other theories, so far a...

    Proselytizers usurping your property & privacy rights

    I know a married couple who were awakened one Sunday by the doorbell. On the porch stood Jehovah's Witnesses. Inside stood this couple in their underwear. They said "Why not?", and invited them in. The discussion was brief.

    U.S. - A "Christian Nation?"

    Bravo, Blackdog. A good example of how principals of faith can affect political change can be found in the Civil Rights Movement. This effort did not demand that the Ten Commandments be posted on government buildings, nor did it insist that the state be anything but secular. Instead, principals...

    I'm afraid to send my kids to schol.

    Ok, now "Church of England" replaces "religion" when you read the Constitution without "warped glasses on". What we have here is a deep seated weakness of faith that needs government assistance.

    I'm afraid to send my kids to schol.

    A lot of hey is made about the literal absence of "separation of church and state" in the Constitution by some who complain about "big government". Those insisting that separation is not implied by the "establishment of religion" clause are internally inserting "a particular" between "of " and...

    Republicans Reject Science; Scientists Reject Republicans

    Republicans reject science? Hardly. It depends on which Republicans and what science, and for what purpose. I have yet to hear a Republican politician reject the social Darwinist "science" promoted in The Bell Curve. Nor do we hear complaints against the "truth" connecting black abortion to...

    Republicans Reject Science; Scientists Reject Republicans

    For a teacher to stand before a classroom and portray this conclusion that the earth's age is six thousand years as science, they would have to lie. They would then have to change the subject, hoping none of the students get too curious.

    Why do males have an abortion opinion?

    If men were equipped with a uterus, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
