• Prayer Can Allegedly Do This to Your Relationships With Significant Others and Friends

  May 9, 2013 at 10:32pm

  In reply to YesLiberalsAreThatDumb.

  How is this a surprise? Psychologists have a technique called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, that, in it’s most simplistic description, is getting the person to think better thoughts. Focus more on the good and less on the bad. Since there’s nothing showing that the prayer actually changed the behavior of the other person, that’s basically what’s happening here, only the person praying is expecting a difference from God and then see’s what they expect (by focusing on the good and less on the bad).
  Not only that, but most psychologists who practice CBT would be called leftists on this site, since they tend to have more liberal social views. Especially that gays are fine the way they are.

• Lesbian Activist’s Surprisingly Candid Speech: Gay Marriage Fight Is a ‘Lie’ to Destroy Marriage

  “I had read that in (I believe) the Netherlands, since homosexual couples were allowed to marry, straight couple marriages have declined because marriage now carries a stigma of being for gays.

  Think about what they have done to the rainbow. Same thing will happen to marriage. It will become less appealing, then even distasteful.”

  Actually, what was happening was that the straight couples were forgoing marriage in order to utilize the domestic partnership system that was set up for gays. So if they were forgoing marriage because marriage was for gays, why would they use the domestic partnerships that were set up for gays? What was really happening was that domestic partnerships were easier to enter into and easier to separate from. It was seen as a preferable alternative to marriage. In nations where domestic partnerships or civil unions were abandoned once gays were given the right to marry, no such anomaly occurred.

• Rush Limbaugh Says This Issue ‘Is Lost’ for Social Conservatives: ‘It Is Now Inevitable’

  Wow, I’ve never seen a more deluded Christian. Exodus 21:7 is not a warning against slavery. Ephesians 6:5 is not a warning against slavery. A warning against slavery would consist of: “Thou shalt not own another human.” Which doesn’t exist in any form whatsoever in the Bible. At least have the sense to use the (still wrong) “context” excuse, it doesn’t make you look as ignorant about your own religion.

  Exodus 21:7 – “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do.”

  Ephesians 6:5 – “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ”

  “Many people who oppose gay marriage have “no animosity” towards gay people at all but want to preserve their values, Limbaugh explained.”

  Look at all these comments. Leave it up to “TheBlaze” to prove Rush Limbaugh wrong.

• Which Hollywood Power Couple Penned This Surprising Op-Ed: ‘Why Public Schools Should Teach the Bible’?

  March 1, 2013 at 5:15pm

  In reply to txannie.

  They teach the Bible in Texas. It’s legal to teach the Bible in school, as long as there is no assertion that the Bible is correct and it is taught from a secular point of view. Except when these schools were examined on whether they follow the law or not, half or so broke the law and abused the system to evangelize students. If the schools could be trusted to follow the law, it’d be one thing, but a very large portion don’t. So either all schools shouldn’t teach the bible, or at least the ones that have abused their authority in the past.

• Teacher Fired for Allegedly Preaching Creationism and Having a Bible in Class Takes His Battle to OH Supreme Court

  In reply to hi.

  How do you define “facts?”

  …If you mean, “something that is proven to be true,” then we agree on the definition of facts and disagree on your use of the word, since evolution is supported by facts.

  If you mean, “something that issupported by the bible,” then we disagree on the definition of facts.

  Either way, you are wrong.

• S.E. Cupp Pulls Out of CPAC Until Groups Representing Gay Republicans Are Embraced

  “Much in the same way heterosexuals who abuse the government funded healthcare to treat diseases they had through their escapades.”

  Here’s two scenarios. First is a poor girl in a rough neighborhood. She is currently on medicaid. Her doctor prescribes her birth control because she is being pressured by her boyfriend to become sexually active. Since she’s on medicaid, the government is paying for her birth control. This birth control is however a good investment for the government. Since she was easily prevented from having a child before graduating high school, she is now much more likely to make more from her job once she is an adult, either by going to college or being able to work more hours. That means more taxable income. The same applies to the father.

  The second scenario is the same girl, now an adult. She never got pregnant, except she got HPV from her boyfriend. As happens much too often, she never got regular pap smears. She went to the doctor for irregular bleeding and pain in her pelvis. She later finds out that the cause is cervical cancer. Now, Christian morals might have taught you that this was a cause of her sexual sins, so she somewhat deserves it, but the medical field isn’t so callous. When it comes to treatment, it doesn’t matter how she got sick, all that matters is that she is sick. It does matter when it comes to prevention, which is why we now have vaccines for HPV, which I remember the Right was against.
