• Does This Finding Prove Jesus’ Resurrection? New Book Offers Stunning Alleged Details About the Shroud

  INDEPENDENT4233, I guess even those who question organized religion, atheists and “agnostics” like you, can be homohating racist bigots.

  Bigots come in all faiths, non-faiths and political parties. Commies were very much ****-hating, so atheist conservative libertarians can be racist homohating pigs too. Fascinating!!!

  As a tax-paying, partnered, monogamous atheist **** (though respectful of religious anti-gay beliefs), I implore you to start meeting homos who are not militant activist and religious hating. There are many of us… the ones you don’t see on the streets parading around in jockstraps.

  Just like I don’t assume all conservatives are racist, with the exception of the few you see with swastika signs on TV, I suggest you meet some regular gay folk before making up your mind about “homosexual pigs”.

• White Student Union Taking Up ‘Weekly Night Patrols’ to Guard Against ‘Black on White Crime’ at Md. University

  In reply to BellaMia7.

  Wow, you people will find any justification for your racism. Whites DON’T NEED to put white in front of their organization names. Why do they need to? They can be proud of their heritage (no one says claiming to be proud of being italian-american or polish american… we see it all the time) but to say whites per se need advocacy? Why? They aren’t discriminated against for being white.

  Yes, there are militant blacks who hate “whitey” but they are in the minority. Just like there are militant, reactionary whites who are racist, white supremacist and hate everyone else who isn’t white (though they are in the minority…. though reading all these racist comments, it makes me wonder now…).

  Blacks have a need for a Black Miss America. When was the last time Miss America celebrated black beauty? Very few times. Blacks needed a pageant that celebrated a more “ethnic” standard of beauty… not the White Eurocentric standard that black women have to live up to in order to win one of those pageants. Black entrepreneurs, gay entrepreneurs….. I can go on and on. The reason for these groups is not to discriminate but to encourage because most of the time, minority groups have been discriminated against in bank loans, education etc.

  Now, does Affirmative Action need to exist anymore? Probably not… there was a time it was needed. But I still think blacks and other minority groups do need their own groups separate from whites only to encourage empowerment and growth

  Ummmm, wow. Reading the posts on here, the very racist and stereotypical posts from white folks on here confirms to me the reasons why the Republican Party is declining in popularity amongst young white people and even older ones too and are flocking to the Dems.

  Listen, I am a person of color and fully am aware of the disproportionate amount of violence and crime committed in ghettos (black on black, and black on white), but to assume EVERY black person participates in this type of crime is just plain ignorant and racist. What is racist is to assume that blacks are genetically predisposed to be criminal and THAT is what this group (and most white supremacist groups) espouses.

  It has to do with poverty and class. There is black trash and decent black, educated, hard-working black folk. I am one of latter. So poor white “trash” aren’t robbing and killing liquor store owners and robbing one another; esp. meth addicts? Last time I checked they were…. yet they don’t get media attention as a young black boy shooting a “white latino” baby.

  And sure, I am aware now that blacks commit more crimes these days, in proportion to the rest of the population, which I now believe is a result of entitlements but it also has to do with hip-hop’s glorification of violence, materialism (instead of working hard to earn what you want, vs. mugging people), etc… nothing to do with being “black” per se. Because the majority of blacks don’t engage in violence or crime.

  In reply to woodyee.

  “And rather than desiring to help the poor through welfare programs, they wanted to eliminate all charities and government aid.”

  You seriously believe what you just wrote?? I am a liberal who is questioning the party line constantly… what keeps me from moving to YOUR side (conservatism) is the hypocrisy and blindsightedness of your kind. It’s the Repubs who want to eliminate welfare and funding for young mothers, not liberals! What planet did you just come from?

  I do think that unending access to welfare and w.i.c. encourages promiscuity and irresponsible sexual behavior not curb it, but that’s another story. What I don’t get is the Repubs who despise abortion yet do not want sexual education taught in our schools?! Do you even understand that there are still young girls who believe if you jump up and down after sex, you can’t get pregnant? Sex Ed is what this prevents… sure, it might also encourage sexual activity but at least, if they do, they might be better prepared to NOT get pregnant in the first place. Repubs just want teens to never have sex in the first place and THAT is never going to happen. Sex outside of marriage is nothing new. You just want the rest of society to go along with your religious mumbo jumbo, which most young kids (and old) have dismissed as unappealing long ago.

  If you want to prevent abortion, prevent pregnancy. As for Margaret Sanger, she was against abortion. Look it up. She was not a saint, but she was not pro-abortion.

• S.E. Cupp Tells TheBlaze Why She Supports Gay Republican Groups — and How the GOP Should Handle the Issue

  March 1, 2013 at 8:48am

  Funny how many of you religious conservatives constantly contradict yourselves. You say “why should I accept homosexuality”? Why should I accept Christianity or Christian values? Is this not America? Separation of church and state? Hello! If as an atheist, I tolerate Christians, I should expect the same. But noooooooo.

  I believe in fiscal conservatism, despise the Welfare state, believe in gun rights…. but because I am gay, I shouldn’t be allowed to join the party? So what if I were a Muslim? Because I don’t adhere to Christian values, I shouldn’t be allowed either? You guys will keep losing elections because this newer generation is way more tolerant (even if they disagree with homosexuality) than all you older generation Republicans. You will die off soon and your party will eventually embrace gay conservatives or lose us to the Marxists. I will not “embrace” a Republican party just because I believe in fiscal conservatism but behind my back you advocate us being fired, killed or maimed for being gay. This is how I want to live my life and if their truly is a creator, I will deal with him then. But who are you all to tell me I shouldn’t be a part of your party just because you disagree with homosexuality? Interestingly, you all wear mixed fabrics and eat shellfish, which are also “sins”. What a bunch of loonies. I will keep voting in my interests… Democrat… even if my taxes will be a lot higher.

  Wow… reading all these comments from “Christians”, makes me no longer wonder why I became an atheist. As a gay man, why should I be compared to a tax cheat or an adulterer? I know that these are all sins in the Bible, just like homosexuality, but I am not a thief or murderer or pedophile. I am a tax-paying, law-abiding, gun rights, small government gay partnered (over 10 years and monogamous) man.

  I see some of you saying “why should I embrace homosexuality”? No one is asking you to. Maybe there is a small, in-your-face homosexual agenda that you seem to see a lot of the media, but most gay men and lesbians are respectful of religious beliefs, even if they are not religious and are hard working, mind-your-own business types. What I ask for is TOLERANCE, not acceptance. Big difference. I am sure most gay men and women are merely asking for that. When you advocate keeping us out of the party by using anti-gay platforms, constantly talking about gay people not as people but as “sinners” (as if you had forgotten not everyone agrees with your Biblical interpretation, or shares the same religion or even has a religious belief!), it causes many to stray from your party.

  You might say “good riddance”… we need TRUE conservatives in our party, not faux conservatives who are truly liberals in our midsts. But when is it a “liberal” cause to keep the government out of our bedrooms? I thought that was a conservative issue? No wonder many of us Republican gays vote

• The Surprising Details About Sonia Sotomayor’s College Past That You Won’t Find in Her New Book

  February 1, 2013 at 8:47am

  Can we leave the anti-gay and racist anti-latino comments out of here? Sheesh. And you wonder why you conservatives lost the election? Until the Republican Party and conservatives embrace a “live and let live” view of freedom from government and truly embrace small govt., which means stay out of my bedroom…. you will lose socially liberal, pro-gun, military career, fiscally conservative tax-paying citizens, like me, who is latino (Puerto Rican) and gay.

  I am anti-illegal immigration, anti-welfare state (I have seen what this “war on poverty” has done to my area of the South Bronx, which Sotomayor is from, which has created generations of dependency instead of business formation”) and fiscally conservative, yet gay, monogamous with my partner of 10 years and we pay taxes. Why give us a hard time? As for gay marriage… we aren’t sure where we stand on the issue… maybe a compromise of civil union, in case I have to visit him at the hospital if sick and share “marriage benefits”.

  But other than that, I don’t hate religion or religious views, even if I am an atheist, I respect and tolerate Christian objections to homosexuality, even if I think they are wrong…. I still tolerate them, NOT accept them. I expect the same of Christians… tolerate me, respect me even if you don’t agree. And just let me live.

  You will lose more socially liberal, but fiscally conservative people to the other side in the process. The lesser of two evils: The Dummocrats.

• Atheist Mom Who Penned Viral Essay About Raising Kids ‘Without God’ Speaks Out

  January 31, 2013 at 10:38pm

  In reply to psquare23.

  Wow, I still can’t believe how dumb some believers are. Get a clue! “Without God, there can be no genuine moral shaping”??!!

  Are you truly listening to yourself? If that were the case, then believing in what “god” dictates for our lives would mean I would have to make my wife cover herself from head to toe or prevent her from going outside without male companionship or stone her for adultery. Yes, those are Islamic prescriptions based on a Koranic “god” but the Bible also is full of such prescriptions that Christians believe “god” dictates for our lives. And some things in the Bible are pretty despicable, such as advocating slavery and stoning. The OT is pretty violent too. I wouldn’t want to base my morality on an ancient book; no way! We have evolved way more than what the Bible prescribes in its pages. If we hadn’t… we’d still have blacks in chains and women silent. After all, most preachers back in slavery times felt it was “recognized and sanctioned in the scriptures of God”.

  Most abolitionists and suffragists were critical of religion and some maybe might have been atheist or agnostic. Had they not been critical of religion and fundamentalism, I’d be picking cotton today!

• Calif. Atheists Take a Swipe at Religion With This New Anti-God Billboard

  January 31, 2013 at 10:20pm

  In reply to Warphead.

  Just because one is an atheist or a believer does not make one ethical or better than the other. As someone mentioned above, Hitler was a Christian and Stalin was an atheist. Some might debate that Hitler wasn’t a true Christian… well, he thought he was and upheld Christianity. Most Christians these days say they are true believers yet are very hateful. Most Christians these days believe in Christ yet bash gays incessantly. Sure, it says in the Bible it’s a sin, but does that mean you should make their lives impossible? You can tolerate them but not accept them. That is why many people hate religion and why I left the church. I believe I am more ethical and more loving than most “Christians” are run across these days. I don’t mind religion until it is forced down my throat and those of different faiths or no faith. Last time I checked, this was American not Iran. No wonder the Republican Party is losing out on gay conservatives like me. I will keep voting Dummocrat, though I am fiscally conservative until the party stops demonizing tax-paying, patriotic gay men and women. You’d think they would go out of their way to bring in fiscally-conservative gays, but they lose them to the liberals. Until then, you will keep losing every election from this moment on if you don’t eject the religious Taliban from your ranks.

• UPDATED: ‘I Give God 10%’ Tip Story Takes Interesting Twist: Pastor Revealed & the Waitress Has Allegedly Been Fired

  January 31, 2013 at 8:16pm

  In reply to RDavis49.

  Oh please…. if that pastor had not been publicly embarrassed, she wouldn’t have apologized so “sincerely”. As for automatic tips, they are there because most people don’t tip or know how to tip. We help you by adding it on there. All of the places I served at have printed on the bottom of the check, that the gratuity is added but feel free to increase, decrease it or leave it out.

  As a former waiter, most people know how to tip but all it takes is a few tables who don’t tip or forget to, to lose precious time and money. It’s like working for free!

  As for not wanting to tip lazy, rude, awful waiters, I agree. I don’t tip bad waiters at all, especially if their attitude sucked. I sometimes will explain why in person or tell the manager why. No one is forced to tip. I haven’t seen a restaurant that forces you to. Just because a gratuity is added does not mean you have to pay it. As long as you pay for the food, you are not obligated to tip. But it is expected if the service was satisfactory.
