Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland
An anonymous reader writes "A Finnish secular web site that facilitates electronic resignation from the Finnish state church gained wide attention in the media this week. A gay rights TV panel discussion was followed by thousands resigning from the church. On Wednesday, 2633 people resigned through the web site, which is more than all the resignations in July. The Internet is secularizing the Finnish with increasing speed; over 90% of resignations in Finland go through the site administered and marketed by hobbyists driving Finland towards a secular, non-religious state."
What's the logical step that you took to get to this point?
This isn't rocket science. Imagine two gay men adopting a girl (or two lesbians adopting a boy.) That girl or that boy will be missing all the parenting that comes from the other gender, and most importantly they need that parenting because, you know, man != woman, and certain things should be communicated by the parent of the same gender. For example, how likely it is that either of that boy's moms will take him to a deer hunt?
Or some proof that homosexual couples don't make better parents than heterosexual ones?
Would you want to have two left hands or two right hands, instead of a matched set?
That's nothing inherently "manly" about killing defenceless creatures for fun.
You apparently know nothing of this, but most kinds of a hunt are not about "killing defenceless creatures for fun". They are about being tough enough to hike tens of miles in woods, in bad weather, with a heavy backpack that contains all that you need to stay alive. If you happen to meet and take a legal game then you need to field-dress it and drag the meat to your truck. This is not a job for overweight weaklings; but a teenager should be shown, at least once, what the real world is about. A hunter respects the animal far more than a boy with a console controller in hand respects enemies that he slaughters in thousands in his FPS world.
