I've come to the conclusion that I no longer believe in the atheist god Obama. There is a reason he is referred to as an "empty suit".
I don't think that such a person actually exists. No god could be so short sided, arrogant, and vengeful as he hunts down his adversaries with the IRS and further destroy the Middle class and kills people all over the wor ...[text shortened]... es and sound bites, but there are stunt doubles and reproduced sound bites to help explain that.
We all know what the subliminal message of the "White House" was suppose to say to the world.
Originally posted by whodeySo you are ok with everyone having 4 to 8 kids and in another 100 years the population is 20 billion? You do know right now with 7 odd billion people, we are using up 50% of the entire planetary resource as we speak? So 14 billion and we use up 100%. That can't be sustained, not even at our present level can that be sustained. So 50 million abortions? We need the population to go down by at least FIVE billion to be actual sustainable. How bout billions of people STARVING to death when the crunch happens? What will your oh so compassionate thinking do then?
I was only mocking the position of leftists who defend abortion on the premise that the unborn are parasites because they are dependent on their host.
Being a left winger, what is your rationalization for killing around 50 million unborn children?
One thing about you bleeding heart anti abortion nutters: Once a child woman, say, a 16 yo girl pregnant by rape, you convince her to have the child, and once you've done that, goodbye lady, crash bam thank you ma'am, and she is left totally alone with no support, who gives a crap about HER life, now ruined because of this child she is forced to bear. We have another abortion crisis to deal with. So sorry about that girl but it WAS her fault for getting raped anyway, the slut.

The time from then til now has seen the largest shift in money that used to go to the government now going directly to the corporations. Are we better off? Heck no. Have we gotten anything back from the corporations for our money? Heck no. I'm tired of paying for yachts for the rich. I'd rather see that same money go to put food on the tables of the poor or send their kids to school. I'd rather give more to those who have nothing than give more to those who have everything.
Too bad Conservatives don't see it this way.

So tell us Mr. Sustainable, at what population level does the sky fall?
I suppose you are proud of the Chinese as they force people to abort babies on the premise that they can only have one.
It appears tyranny is our salvation!!

First of all, the universe is not finite. Second of all, if money is finite then how do you splain the printing press in the basement of the Fed?

I know all about it. Lived in Jerusalem for 4 years. I still want freedom FROM religion. I don't LIKE waking up to stupid bells going off calling christians to arms or whatever or all the mosque songs waking you up either.

Originally posted by FMFThey made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Besides, we lived in Abu Tor, right next to the so-called 'peace forest' and it WAS a respite from the old city.
Religious contemplation and fervour has been behind some of the most outstanding and inspiring art and music that mankind has ever produced. You moved to Jerusalem ~ an epicentre of three religions [though you say you "want freedom from religion"] ~ and then you ask "Why can't we just have silence like in a forest?" Why did you move to a bustling city if you wanted "silence like in a forest"? 😀
Funny thing, that forest, Palestinian kids would try(did several times while we were there) to set fire to the forest. The funny part was they never learned the wood from that tree, don't even know what kind of tree it was, was almost impossible to burn. They would pile up dried bushes next to the trees and it just refused to catch fire. Never did figure out why THEY never figured that out.

I guess in 2016 you will be accusing me of being a misogynist. It's change you can believe in!

"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petition, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men; On behalf of kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all godliness and gravity." ( 1 Timothy 2:1,2)
The New Testament tells the believers in Christ to pray for all those who are in high positions. If you don't pray for your president, whoever she or he may be, I would say you're about as good as a run of the mill trader.
