This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES. Registering for debate politics is necessary before posting. Register today to participate - it's free!

Papal Claims
No need to apologize. Persecution of erudite and inquisitive minds will always be a feature of ideology-driven cultures, be it the anus-crazed culture of the Vatican or the evangelism-crazed culture of the current Republican congress in Washington. -

Liberal Anger Is FINALLY back!
He's not inciting hate -- he's inciting people to think for themselves and challenge the party line being spewed by Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, **** Cheney, and the rest of the Bush Administration. Democracy thrives when people challenge the government, whether the governing... -

Liberal Anger Is FINALLY back!
Why? Doesn't this newcomer have an equal right to freely express himself? Or is it only conservatives who get a fair hearing here? I think the conservative mindset is beginning to show its fundamental insecurity at being challenged in any way, shape, or form. And nobody screams, rants, bleats... -

Papal Claims
Hmmm... "cosmological dogma". Interesting. In any case, OK, semantically speaking, you have a point: the Catholic Church did not concoct its own cosmology, just borrowed the one from the Old Testament Genesis. The Church had no interest in explaining the universe's origin beyond what was in... -

Is Feminism Devisive ?
Re: Is Feminism Divisive ? CWA's approach is "strong, yet they know how to communicate properly without inciting"? Of course they do, because they're perfect little ladies, well trained to do men's bidding, like geisha-prostitute Stepford Wives. They've been brainwashed by male-dominated... -

How Old is the Earth?
If you're waiting for geological events to happen before your eyes, don't. They won't. You'll be disappointed. And you may even believe that things don't happen now the way they have before, as your question suggests you already think that way. Give up on the 6000-year thang. It's a... -

Worst Person of All Time
Sorry, but I think that Karl Rove will go down in history as the worst S.O.B. to date. As Bush's puppetmaster and master schemer for the Republican Party, he will nearly single-handedly be responsible for the political (and maybe economic) destruction of the world's greatest experiment in... -

Papal Claims
Myself, I concede that Jesus was a master of ambiguity. This instance ("Upon this rock...") is one of the most telling. The only thing you have to rely on is the semantic deconstruction, but Jesus knows you're going to do that, so he deliberately fails to complete the transfer of identity from... -

Abortion is here to stay . . . . thank Prochoice Bush . . .
Huh? Hey, I've got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn and some prime real estate in Florida and I just know you'd enjoy building your retirement dream home there...leave me a message as soon as you come up with the ca$h and we'll arrange a transfer... -

How Old is the Earth?
What comprises this "fabric of the universe", how is it different from other celestial objects, and its acceleration is measured with respect to what object? With respect to observers on earth? Then with respect to what do we measure the earth's acceleration? To the "fabric of the universe"... -

Gays rights/womens right..but only for the whites?
I can't speak for the media or who they choose to show in their "film at 11", or who they choose to quote in their sound bites, but progressive groups tend not to isolate individuals among their membership by focusing on their race, religion, gender, etc., unless there is a compelling reason to... -

Papal Claims
I was born Jewish (but abandoned all religion long ago), and I don't even pretend to understand why freeborn human beings submit themselves to the shackles of illogic and illusion that comprise religion. Catholicism never had a cosmological doctrine. Cosmology is not its area of interest. It... -

Is God real?
If you've ever studied logic, you'll realize that it is not possible to prove that something does not exist, only that it does. Proving non-existence is not necessary, because non-existence is axiomatic. It may or may not be possible to prove that God does exist. -

Is God real?
I wonder if animals believe in God, or whether they, too, are threatened with hellfire and damnation for not believing or behaving in a certain fashion.
