• University Will Investigate Christian Professor’s Intelligent Design Class Following Atheist Furor

  May 21, 2013 at 3:38pm

  In reply to phillyatheist.

  PhillyAtheist, there is the same amount of proof for God having created everything as there is for multiverse theory and spontaneous generation. Namely none. We observe order in the universe, and no one can presently say for certain what it’s origin is because we can’t go back in time, observe a singularity multiple times, record data and then draw conclusions. Funny that you would call multiverse theory “scientific” based solely on the fact that it philosophically, arbitrarily adopts a position about the presently unknowable question of whether or not intelligence played a part in cosmology and ontology. But I see that you must have great faith in that arbitrary, philosophical position. The only difference is that that most scientists who are objective and yet do have faith are honest enough to actually call their personal beliefs “faith” and separate them from science, while most humanist secularists insist that their own arbitrary beliefs are “scientific”.

  I’m all for freedom from the religions of Humanism and Secularism.

• ‘Bigoted, Religious [Zealots]‘: High School Senior Allegedly Expelled, Charged With Felonies Over Gay Relationship With ‘Consenting’ Fellow Student

  ObjectiveTruth, thank you for the clarification. I was in no way trying to downplay the life-long pain and trauma caused by rape. I have a friend who struggled with anguish for years after being raped by a man who was never caught. She tried to do violence to herself, and I spent hours by her side in the aftermath. She has gone on to healing and forgiveness, and I’ll never forget the experience. Part of me has no problem with capital punishment for violent rape. It does to the victim something which can never fully be undone in this life. But even in the case of statutory rape, I don’t believe any 15 year old is mature enough, and understands enough about life, to make decisions about sex. They could easily get AIDs even when using supposed “protection”. Child sex should continue to be illegal, period, regardless of child consent or the nature of the relationship.

  Before you agree with this gal or her parents, google the string “u.s. aids high school” and read the first two links from HHS and CDC. Undue influence over a vulnerable classmate can lead to AIDs and death. Statutory rape should remain statutory rape and this case should be prosecuted like all others.

  In reply to Tinman6764.

  Meredith, you’re talking as if high school students are all fully consenting adults. Nothing could be further from the truth. The vulnerability, both emotionally and physically, combined with insecurity and lack of knowledge that these kids have – most of them have no idea “who” they are or can begin to even understand how the world operates – means that child sex is one of the most dangerous things they can take part in. It could very easily literally cost them their lives, and does in many cases.

  In reply to objectivetruth.

  So you’re saying coercion doesn’t play any part in rape? Neither does the intentional misuse of undue influence over a vulnerable person who is related in a subordinate way?

  If this was an 18 year old boy and a 15 year old girl, the same feminist lobby would by asking for his head and there would be shouts of subjugation. The double-standard is inexcusable.

• Did Christian Prayers at Gov’t Meetings in This NY Town Violate the Constitution?

  This is not Congress creating a national establishment of religion.

• ‘Arrogance…Abuse of Power…Rotten to the Core’: Paul Ryan Steamed Over IRS, Benghazi

  Chris Wallace needs to be fired. He is the least objective “journalist” at Fox News, and one of the least in the industry. It’s infuriating listening to this tool of the administration obstruct and obfuscate. I’d trust Clinton’s water boy Stephanopoulos before I’d trust Wallace, and I don’t trust Stephanopoulos at all.

  Fox: Fire him!

  If I have a gang show up on my doorstep then, yes, I just might need 100 rounds. A mother recently protected her children in an attic and fired 5 rounds into a would-be agressor, who then drove away, with 5 rounds in him!
