GOP Congressional Candidate Wants Mandatory Prayer In Public School
Paul628 comments on Jun 20, 2018:
So, in other words... 1. She's another christian idiot who doesn't know or understand how prayer already works in public schools. 2. She is intentionally pandering to her christian constituents who think the bible is real and all that crap. 3. Both are true.

Maxims are just silly. Useful, but silly. I've been fairly wealthy a couple of times in my life and never had a place I'd call home, too damn busy. I've been below poverty level now for 15 years and I've made a home, classed it up nicer than any high end bar I've ever been to. I step outside, yeah ...

I maintain that there is one of two ways to live your life. You live it the way you want to live it or you live it the way someone else wants you to live it. It is YOUR life so throw everything you have into living it YOUR way.

In other words, he does not give a damn about the US Constitution.
jlynn37 replies on Jun 20, 2018:
None of their ilk gives a damn about the constitution or the laws of this country. They want to make biblical law the law of the land (whatever the hell that even means). If there were robots that enforced biblical law, no one would feel safe in their own homes.

Morality - What is it to you?
Hitchens comments on Jun 18, 2018:
There is nothing wrong with learning morality from a religious relative..most of us were raised by devoutly religious relatives. They would have passed on a lot of wise and important gems of perfectly good rational and altruistic moral codes and standards . For example a common Christian moral ...

"treating people the way you would like or expect to be treated" preceded Christianity by several centuries, and while it may be a Christian moral theme, it is endemic to ALL religions and ALL philosophies.

It's a distinction lost on most, if it can be measured, verified, or falsified it's factual. If it's not factual it's your opinion, and chances are I don't give two shits about your opinion.

I agree, it used to be a family responsibility, but no longer. People take jobs all over the country and it's not so easy to relocate and sacrifice your job in order to take care of your mom or dad. It must be really scary for some with no backup system in place. I view this as part of the bigger ...

I will say that if there is not a major change and shift in the Nov. elections, this country is lost. If it does not happen, then every nut job racist, white supremist, evangelical fundamentalist will be running for election and winning. IMHO

I always make the arguement that it doesn't have to be some divine being. That people are capable of so much when they just put their minds to it. I left an abusive marriage.

As much as I'm against domestic and gang violence, I would still call the police if someone broke into my house claiming to flee said acts for one. Nor do I think that the problems of my neighbor must automatically be my problem as well for two. I've always thought that if you would treat your...

False equivalence. A private, individuals house is not a country and a country that was founded by people from around the world, has always welcomed people from around the world and has benefited from those people. I can understand your frustration at how our border control is handled. I do not have an answer.

TheMiddleWay comments on Jun 19, 2018:
I get a similar complaint. I'm often told "you can't say you're agnostic in gods cause that would mean you are agnostic on unicorns, fairies, leprechauns, and more" to which I always reply "Being agnostic in one thing doesn't necessitate being agnostic in all things"
jlynn37 replies on Jun 19, 2018:
I agree and would say ones is agnostic only in what they say they are agnostic in. It is not up to anyone else to define what an individual is or how their brain works.
