• God vs. Gov’t: What Does the Constitution Really Say About the Separation of Church and State?

  May 18, 2013 at 8:22am

  Interesting observation, biblical literalism leads to to strict constructionist views on constitutional interpretation.
  The world we live in is substantially different from Charlottesville in 1780. The First Amendment has evolved along with society and culture to include Freedom FROM Religion and now that about 20% of our citizens are non-believers and that is the fastest growing self definition in faith surveys more, not less activity is going to occur as we discover these intrusions of the Religions in the Public space.

  I always take the Gideons and throw them in the trash, a habit I got from my father.
  The concepts of natural law and inalienable rights comes from the classic Greeks, long before Jesus.

• This Is How Americans With No Religion Feel About Abortion (Plus: Are Most Women Really Pro-Choice?)

  May 16, 2013 at 8:46am

  Among the group most likely to find a need to avail themselves of the abortion services, women under 30 there is a significant support for choice.

  80% of the non-religious are pro-choice. Non-religious are the fastest growing segment of the population. Plus don’t these statistics show you all that anti-abortion is primarily a religious position.

• Female Egyptian TV Host Removes Headscarf, Berates Cleric Who ‘Peddles’ Islam in Explosive Interview

  In reply to Sargon.

  It does appear that the foreign aid and military assistance programs in this country have gone complete awry. I can’t define what our clear goal is supposed to be. We do seem to be building enemies faster than friends in much of the Middle East. One of the keys the use aid programs to pressure social change was first hampered by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1985 that placed restrictions on assisting programs that provide abortions. These groups that provide these reproductive health services are the same ones that support women’s independence in these cultures. So with this pointless sanctimonious act we cut off the best course to women’s rights in backward Muslim nations. By law the US is prohibited from helping the very people that would subvert the male hierarchy. Where you have free, educated women who can control biology’s penalty for intercourse, you will have women who can not be beat down and controlled.

• Will Pantless Female Student Who Dressed Like the Pope While Handing Out Condoms Be Suspended? University Responds to Catholic Anger

  May 6, 2013 at 2:57pm

  According to a friend of mine who is a CM Grad this art school parade has had nudity in previous years. This is not the first pubes seen on campus. I might note that Carnegie Mellon University is NOT a Catholic school, so the Bishop can go stuff it. The school is clearly posted private property. The whining for aggressive legal action is going to fail because this has never been prosecuted before, it happened on private property and HER right of freedom of expression and HER freedom of religion all protect her right to satirized the Roman Catholic Church and its public figures in any way she sees fit. Plus we need to all spend sometime wondering why the naked body freaks folks out so much here in America. This is just like how some Saudi would react to naked social satire. Y’all up for a stoning?

• Allen West Teaches Obama What Courage Is (It’s Not Announcing You’re Gay)

  May 5, 2013 at 9:46am

  This nation has swung too far into glorifying the role of the military in our society’s national identity. I’m from the Viet Nam era, I was an active protest organizer in 1970-72. I’ve never served, my draft lottery number was 252 so I was free & clear. In that era there was a general disdain for the military, it was a bad war that caused far more suffering than it prevented and maybe it went too far anti-military then. Fast forward 40 years, we now treat the service members as semi sacred. There are “patriots” in there but that’s not really the majority of the 1.5 million active duty & 850,000 reservists. It’s really a refuge for those who would have been blue collar workers.

  We have a force that is the second largest in the world & a budget that is the largest by a substantial amount. We have 100s of bases oversea, we fight trillion dollar loosing incursions into other parts of the planet where we are not wanted. It is time to reverse this trend, dramatically down size the armed forces, pull back to our own territory and work on the problems at home. Like border patrols. Take the discharged soldiers and Marines and put them the ICE squad and you could cover the northern and southern border so well that only rabbits and lizards would get through. There thousands of infrastructure projects that need workers. Rather than blowing up Baghdad we could be rebuilding Detroit. I am sorry but we need to just down this militaristic emphasis! Plus West is a buffoon.

• Clergy Were Reportedly Banned From the Deadly Boston Bombing Scene — Here Are the Details

  April 28, 2013 at 9:08am

  In reply to afishfarted.

  Hitler used Christianity to justify his policies and the very first thing he did was ban Atheists [Freethinkers]. A campaign against the ‘godless movement’ and an appeal for Catholic support were launched by Chancellor Adolf Hitler’s forces in 1933
  Quote:
  We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.

• France Legalizes Gay Marriage Following Intense Threats, Protests and Angst

  April 24, 2013 at 9:06am

  In reply to agnuid.

  Last election, 4 out of 4 gay marriage issues were winners, since then a couple of state legislatures have voted for Same Sex Marriage. Since 2011 there has not been a major poll that has not confirmed support for Gay Civil Rights and Marriage Equality. The latest survey was done by the Southern Baptists and they found majority support for gay rights an SSM. Every economic survey has shown that gay marriage is a boost to the entire Marriage and Events business; from florists, to tux rentals to caterers and venues every one benefits.

  Since you won’t sell me your virgin daughter for 3 goats and a pair of ox, we have already redefined marriage. Far as I can tell polygamy was just fine with the Old T bible but then in the New T y’all became monogamous. Wasn’t that redefining marriage? Marriage was once nearly 100% arranged by family but in the last century that has become nearly extinct in the Western world. Is that not redefining marriage? The problem is that the secular government has used that word to determine access to thousands of special rights, benefits and privileges, when that occurred the churches lost control of the word. Separate is not ever equal so it’s Marriage for All or none.

  Second and third generation immigrants from Muslim backgrounds are becoming secularized, leaving the Mosques and in both France and the US former Muslims are getting organized as Atheists. The France Muslims will be absorbed and secularized by French culture. What woman could stay in burqas when you have french fashions close at hand? While European Muslims have come mostly as laborers and from less well-off area so they are been ghettoized and are poor. The “average” Muslim in the US is wealthier and better educated than the average American and thus more likely to be more secular.

  The #1 thing we can do to fight the Radical Muslims is to show them the Joy of Freedom of Choice in their lives. Give them a more attractive option and we will assimilate them. Freedom is defined by the rights of personal choice in your life’s path – politically, socially, intellectually, philosophically and sexually too. Any law that prohibits anything that doesn’t directly harm another citizen is intrusive and unnecessary. Any law about who you can love and contract with is Big Government being far more offensive than bans on big soda cups.

• Allen West Warns Left-Wing Students to Stop Harassing His Wife: ‘This Is Not a Threat, It Is a Promise’

  In reply to Zorch.

  His wife is NOT off limits – she is not being protests because she is Col. Bozo’ wife, she is being protested because of an action she supports in her role as Board of Trustee Member.

  Stephanie is a better American than West who is just another bully.
