he was a fucking hypocrite then, is he still flying around on his cart with flying horses? All religions are full of this shit, say one thing and then contradict it later and then forget about the contradiction.
its time all priests were outlawed and people allowed to "worship" in their own personal space and don't bother anyone else with their delusions. Priests and imams are the major problem as they think they have a line to their imaginary god
"I ask if you've ever seen one try to poison a school full of children for being taught evolution? I thought not." - give them time.... the christians are getting more fundamentalist as they get proved wrong time and time again and humiliated for believing in a fantasy figure. there are quite a few who have let their OWN child die because they expected Faith to heal them.
"this isn't a religious issue" - of course it bloody is the problem.
these "books" are the excuse for all this type of shit, if you believe in your god of that book, you have to do what he says. you obviously haven't read them. e.g. the God of the bible expects your to sacrifice your child for him, he'll only let you win wars if you kill every man, woman and child etc etc The religious and apologists for religion always skip those parts out.
" wrong headed thinking will simply find a new home and new masters. "
this may be true but it won't get carte blanche acceptance like religion does. You can do almost anything in the name of religion and people will accept it (except the critical thinking and rational people). You can't criticise religion, in some parts of the world you can be killed for blasphemy.
yes, but that is at odds with Gods wish for genocide, stoning people to death etc - are you saying god is like Mitt Romney and cant make up his/her mind?
they are also republican presidential candidates. why don't the "nice, sane, civilised" rise up and kick out the nut jobs? probably scared of being sent to hell
the religions didn't but the humans did, they would have probably done the same if they weren't religious which is something seem not to realise. they were inspired by the fear of not getting to heaven
you've missed the point completely. the subject i was commenting was the so called "morals" of religion. last time i checked science wasn't and has never been a religion.
Not sure it could have skimped over it for a lack of interest, apart from shitting themselves when a dinosaur peaked around a tree and why didn't it get onto the ark?
Scientists don't skimp either and science is not a religion
Which morals would those be? Promoting genocide, misogyny, stoning people to death, slavery etc etc? Those are the morals of the bible which are cherry picked "out" of the morals espoused by christians
You're probably part the sensible section of christians. But when you get the rabid fanatics that are putting the clock back with all their horrible laws against women in the bible belt and you don't say anything about it, then you become part of the problem of misogyny etc put forward as laws. The moderate middle ground christians should push back against the fundementalists in the same way moderate islamists need to push back against the fundies in their religion.
But then again, if you are not a fundie you are not following your religion to the letter and you are cherry picking out the bad bits which makes you half ways to dropping this irrational belief in a man-made god.
he/she has to if as she/he had to be created... then its going to be a long list of creators of creators until point zero.... i don't know how the believers get around this one.... apart from self-delusion
Bush was keen on starting illegal wars, (maybe he was just too stupid to find the nuclear button). Santorum's appeared a lot more stupid than Bush with this religious rhetoric and therefore a lot more dangerous. When you believe you'll go to a better life in a heaven, you do stupid things.

ask someone who got a STD if their body didn;t get sicker because they didnt have contraception
And they are non-christian christians as they do their level best not to help the less fortunate, bloody hypocrites.

that is why... http://richarddawkins.net/articles/495770-official-vatican-does-compare-child-abuse-with-ordaining-women
"The church isn't anti-evolution. It is anti-critical thinking."
it's anti-thinking, critical thinking is a step too far. Thinking is the danger to faith.
He's the one with the funny underpants
actually Catholic priests, the ones that think child abuse is on the same level as having women priests.

This was a catholic problem not a Hindu problem. RTFA a bit, maybe
fuck me... yet more evidence that religionists spin more than politicians. who needs hydro-power when you've got religionists.

Most of the talk of fraud is from religious nuts, climate change deniers etc. so just ignore these idiots.
