Pastor blames secular education and science (evolution) for rape. Well, hello fox news.

Another example of ignorance given a voice. I'm saddened by people like "Beehmian", who can be the loudest voices for change when they have not even taken a look at what it is they want to change.

Professional indemnity insurance is standard practice for certain levels of management and professionals.

Or rather, their sense of human rights is reasonable. In matters of the international public eye, we have received relatively negative reports based on purported mistreatments of persons held at the detention centre. It would then, seem prudent to make sure, at least in part for media purposes that we are giving the appearance of safely and humanely handling such individuals. And national pride is the same pride of prejudice and hate that is borne of racist groups and caste based groups. So I find national pride disgusting because it is the fuel of hate and has no purpose beyond manipulating the populace.

You are the worst kind of person. Ignorant and proud of it.

Pastors, "We're not the moral authority we interpret from the true word of God."
Person, "Bible doesn't speak to gambling being wrong or sinful."
Pastors, "Yes yes, but we speak on the morality of gambling in a broader sense, don't worry we're not the moral authority however much we must use unfounded and purported ideas of morality to prove we are only teaching the lessons of the bible."

Mandatory service is an old trend in countries who have experienced "Total War", making every able man woman and child a cog in the machine. What basis would you implement an ideology foreign to us, non-warring island dwelling people.

Let's force everyone to do something, maybe that will stop crime. Just like forcing your kids to go to private school will stop them from getting involved with drugs or other perceived ills. Don't forget keeping your child in church 3-5 days a week makes them a better person. While we're at it, we should it make it mandatory that every child upon turning eighteen has to swear on the flag and whatever nonsensical religious text they desire to be good young people and always do right. Because these wound caring policies work, don't they?

What a waste.

If this is taking money from churches then this bill is shaping up quite nicely. At least men like Mr. Flowers don't claim to be claimants to spiritual power while fleecing the people. Religion like government always seems to need more money each and every year. So I guess it's rather expected they are fighting over the scraps of disposable income in this chosen land.

But the bible is a collection of silly stories compiled over hundreds to a thousand years. It's utter trash and a tool.

But a man who quotes the bible was elected as our leader. This man who is claimant to spiritual leadership was not. That's the difference. We have not elected a zealot, we have a elected a man who claims a certain faith.
