• What Is the ‘Hypnotic’ Structure in the Sahara Desert That NASA Captured from Space?

  In reply to grownup.

  @LEFTCOASTSLUT,
  To continue the bad punning…

  It isn’t the “oval office”, it is the “offal office”…

  Back to your normally scheduled blather…

• ‘Real News From the Blaze’: Marijuana — Legalize It?

  February 9, 2012 at 1:20pm

  If it has legitimate medical properties and purposes, then I don’t have a problem with regulating it like any other drug. But the question then becomes… if it is the THC, why would someone have to “smoke it”, why not extract or synthesize the THC and use that as a pharmaceutical?
  I don’t think we should just “legalize” it… look at smoking and alcohol… both legal and both cause thousands of deaths a year… do we really need to add to the “body count”?

  Guess I had better go buy a few more before they go out of business…

• Atheists Sue Feds Over ‘Unconstitutional’ Tax Benefits for Christian Ministers

  September 20, 2011 at 2:27pm

  In reply to proudpatriot77.

  if we do a simple reading, it is actually a “separation of STATE from CHURCH”… The first amendment prevents the STATE from designating an “official” religion, it prevents the STATE from treating any religion with preference, it prevents the STATE from interfering with religious beliefs…
  But it DOES NOT prevent religion from being involved with the STATE…
  It is only a one way street.
  Then you have some very poor interpretations of what the separation should be… but those interpretations were, I believe, more politically “expedient”.
  I believe, under the current belief of the “separation”, that the STATE is, more or less, prevented from taxing the CHURCH, lest it violate that separation.
  People are religious (or not) and they are also citizens, but Churches are not citizens or “corporations”, they aren’t “people”… therefore they should be exempt from taxes.
  This is, or course, only if the church doesn’t also have a “corporate” arm. I work for a church, I am also a “lay” clergy. I pay taxes, just like anyone else on my income from my job, but I don’t get paid for my services as a lay clergy. The division I work for pays taxes. The church, itself, does not pay taxes. This is correct and proper to keep that separation of church and state…

  In reply to ilovethiscountry.

  I guess that all depends on if you have a “professional” or a “lay” clergy.

  The “wall of separation” between “church and state” prevents the “state” from taxing “churches”…

  They want it both ways… sorry folks, pick one. We either have a “separation” or we don’t.

• Marriage: Should the state support what is “good, and true, and beautiful”?

  August 19, 2011 at 6:19pm

  There is also this thing called “separation of church and state”… The Government has no business being involved in a RELIGIOUS rite (marriage) when the Government’s only involvement is for “legal purposes” or the Civil/Contractual Law aspects of a “civil union” or “domestic partnership”.
  Get the Government out of Marriage, free up people to practice their religion (or not) and EVERYONE benefits from the equal application of the LAW (no more complaints of “gay rights” concerning “marriage”, etc)…
