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

  May 21, 2013 at 9:51am

  “Most people I know in high school, including myself, dated younger girls. My wife of 14 years was a sophomore when I was a senior.”

  I dated girls younger than me in high school too, but I didn’t have sex with them. My wife was a freshman when I was a senior, but we didn’t have sex until we were married, which also means we were both consenting adults. It’s not age that matters, it’s the ability to make a real consenting choice, one not influenced by an older individual who can easily manipulate and younger individual.

  But then again, it’s totally, like, uncool and such like that to think that people should, um, like totally have control of themselves. Like as if there are consequences and such to like our behavior and such like. I mean am I just like a totally unhip 30 year old old dude that thinks like those peoples back in like the stone ages and such that think like um sex should only be like between husband and wife. And like if a um 15 year old like totally wants to get it on, then only an old like fart would like try to um stand in the way of like real love.

  Because that’s what it’s become…Lust=sex=love. And we wonder what happened to the world around us…

• Minnesota high schoolers study America’s ‘system of whiteness’

  May 8, 2013 at 12:56am

  This guy IS Michael Scott!

  Even down to the stupid idea that no one is so dumb enough to get (except dump high school kids).

  “Um…like…my um…worst fear is that like we’ll make the bestest piece of theater that no one gets…like..not even the cast…” Dumbest. People. Ever.

• Dear Fellow Atheists: Stop Being Jerks

  April 11, 2013 at 9:51am

  In reply to Remember_Benghazi.

  As a Christian, I do not ask you to leave your beliefs at the door when you enter a voting booth, but Atheists demand I do. For some reason, atheism is the only pure belief system that belongs in the voting booth. For everyone else, it’s separation of church and state or “legislating their religion”.

  I believe homosexual activity (not being gay) is a sin (much like I believe being human isn’t a sin), but that’s not why I’m against redefining marriage.

  I don’t care if you believe evolution is a fact, but forcing it on my kids as the only explanation in public schools kinda sounds exactly like what this article is complaining about. I love learning all theories and even as a Christian, I’ve taught my children evolutionary evidence and had many discussions with them on its viability. My belief in God doesn’t exclude evolution, nor does an idividual’s belief in evolution exclude the existance of God.

  And I feel confident stating that for 99.99999% of Christians, Birth Control is a non-issue as well, UNTIL you force me pay for it.

  One important lesson we could all use, maybe hate and insults isn’t the way to “come together”. Calling religion a myth only emboldens them. Sueing a city to take down statues of something you don’t believe is silly. Offer alternatives rather than destruction. I’m not afraid of atheist ideas, only the exclusion of mine. Insulting my intelligence, may be accurate, but doesn’t help.

  God loves freedom. Men love Tyranny.

• Creationist’s Biblical Battle Call Sparks ‘Overwhelming’ Response From Evolutionists

  March 29, 2013 at 5:02pm

  Jaycen, I believe you misunderstood cometakeit’s comment.

  And arguing about creationism and evolution in a comment section on the blaze is proving to be very persuasive and constructive.

  But I’ll just agree with cometakeit’s comment that it’s all belief. And I’ll take this time to disagree with another comment that said, “The argument for Creationism is that some feature of of a living organism cannot be explained by evolution…and that “fact” proves that life on earth came from an extraterrestrial creator.”

  Cheapening someone’s argument doesn’t make it their argument.

  Most do not argue that since I can’t prove something it proves a creator did it. They tend to argue that God is the creator and my faith and personal experiences prove it to me.

  Creationists do also like to point out that evolutionists seem to have about as much proof as the creationists. Evolutionists also tend to need a deep belief system, like a creationist, in order to believe that natural laws of physics and thermodynamics don’t seem to apply. However we can learn something interesting from “science”…the easiest way to build up your theory that contains inherent flaws…call it proven and ridicule the other theory. What was that phrase…repeat something enough and…

• Jim Carrey’s Wild Anti-Gun Music Video ‘Cold Dead Hand’ Is Out and It Insults Gun-Owners And…Charlton Heston?

  Isn’t this the same guy that runs around demonizing immunizations because they cause autism? Good thing we listened to him on that one.

• What It Means to ‘Get High’ in the Mile-High State

  March 10, 2013 at 12:21pm

  I don’t care if you are on the job or not, when you are my employee, you represent me. If I want to fire you for crude comments on facebook or because you are a drug user, that’s my right.

  There is plenty of evidence that drug use, even little amounts of mary jane, affect ability. To state otherwise is prove ignorance.

• Huntsman Joins Growing List of Liberty-Focused Conservatives Supporting Same-Sex Marriage

  February 26, 2013 at 9:49am

  It is interesting that a Libertarian likes Huntsman because of his gay marriage stance. To call Huntsman a Freedom Lover, you have to ignore his belief in big government. I live in Utah and lived under Huntsman. He did nothing to promote real freedom here.

  Huntsman is a “stick your finger in the air” person. He is more interested in being liked than doing the right thing. He is not the man you want to be your go-to LIBERTARIAN.

  If you want gay marriage, then lets address the real issues and problems that are caused by it. You say it’s about freedom, but I don’t have the freedom as a baker to deny making a gay wedding cake. Do I as a pastor have the right to not perform a gay wedding? Can I as a property owner deny a gay wedding on my land? Can my child stand up in a state-run school and declare his belief that homosexual activities are sinful and wrong?

  Libertarians…you should focus on adressing the freedom concerns for all. Instead you hand pick which ones are worthy of your “principles”.

  The problem with Libertarians is they think we can legalize everything and be a free society tomorrow. They don’t want to address the fact that we have to be a society that can handle freedom FIRST. Our society does not teach personal responsibility or consequences. Focus on that and you will win the hearts of many more people. Or keep focusing on drugs, prostitutes, and gay marriage and remain even more fringe than the Republicans you despise.

• 9 Faith-Based (and Secular) Alternatives to the Boy Scouts of America Amid Furor Over Gay Ban

  February 19, 2013 at 8:45am

  In reply to I Aint PC.

  Harry,
  Believing that homosexual practices are a sin and should not be taught as a “morally straight” lifestyle is not discrimination or hateful. Just like it’s not discrimination to say we shouldn’t allow men who are living an adulterous lifestyle in boy scouts either. I know all men are sinners. Some men sin, recognize it and are striving everyday to be better. And other men sin and then jump on parade floats in thongs and tell you you’re hateful because you don’t accept their behavior. (the parade float thing is tongue in cheek).

  I know no perfect man will be my son’s scoutmaster, but I don’t accept men that willfully sin and do not recognize it as such. I have my personal sins, but I know what they are and don’t accept them either just because I was born this way.

  Are we to teach our boys that a man just does whatever feels good to him? Or do we teach our boys to be men who accept God’s law and strive to live it? If you can’t understand my point of view and instead reduce it to discrimination and hatred, why would I consider yours?

• 9 Faith-Based (and Secular) Alternatives to the Boy Scouts of America Amid Furor Over Gay Ban

  February 19, 2013 at 8:19am

  In reply to FLAPrepper1.

  Just adding another voice. I am an Eagle Scout. I am also a member of my local Scout Committee. I was planning on enrolling my son when he is old enough. I will now most likely resign my position and find an alternative program for my son.

  I believe some people are born with same-sex attraction. I do not believe, however, the practice of homosexuality is ok. You can yell at me and get in my face and dance on a parade float in a thong, but I will never accept homosexual practices as ok. Just like I don’t accept adultery as ok. Just because I’m attracted to other women, doesn’t mean I have the justification to act on it. Sex outside of marriage is not acceptable and God has defined marriage as between a man and a woman (no matter what Mr. Obama says).

  That doesn’t mean I don’t love my friends and family any less because they live a homosexual lifestyle or shun them. I don’t shun my wife’s gay cousing, my drug addict cousin, my felon brother, or restrict my interaction with one of my best friends because she’s gay.

  I do however have a problem with an organization that teaches it’s boys to be morally straight, then teaches them that homosexuality is a perfectly acceptable lifestyle. That is not consistant with my values or morals. I don’t think my son is going to be preyed upon or taught to be gay because his scoutmaster is gay. I do have a problem with teaching him that it is acceptable.

• Atheists Get ‘Soles’: The Clever (and Vulgar) Way One Shoe Company Is Targeting the Godless

  December 28, 2012 at 10:21am

  In reply to Proverbs17-12NLT.

  Deavonreye…you make a compleling point. It’s tough to see why the world is the way it is if there is a perfect Creator. But have you ever considered your perspective might not match that of the Creator? If there were a Creator, what is the purpose for creating all this stuff and does that purpose explain why things aren’t perfect here? Is He/She creating, just to create, which makes your point that it should then be perfect? but if He/She is creating with a purpose, what would it be? If there is no purpose, is perfection in my eyes the same as in the eyes of the Creator? So many questions you could still seek answers to, why stop at things aren’t as perfect as I think they should be, so there is nothing.

  I ask questions about my faith all the time. I still haven’t found anything scientific that makes me disbelieve in God, but I have had to change the way I look at the world and God’s creations. Maybe one day science will find someway to prove a Creator was not needed or could not be a reasonable explanation. Until then we should all continually seek the truth, no matter what we find at the end.
