If I ever question my stance as a Athiest, the posts by you religeous biggots would be the anti-dote.

The puerile rant of the self appointed gaurdians of pubic morality are asinine.

Please keep it up, for without you my lack of "Credo" would not be a "moot point"

What happened to separation of Church and State? Since when did the Oval office get the power to tell the American people how to interpret the bible? This should only be a religious issue in Church, not in poltics.

Wouldn't it be simpler to restrict the ability of fundies to further their agenda on the basis that they are delusional, and delusional persons don't have the same rights as normal persons? (Belief in talking burning shrubberies or a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father and can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...would generally be considered delusional).

It would be simple to restrict their ability to further their irrational agenda and while they should not face criminal charges for the activity of irrational belief in itself, they should not have a right to publically worship, nor they should have any influence as a voting bloc nor special interest lobbying group on politics, they should not be around children in schools and their beliefs should not be taught as normal and acceptable to impressionable children in school.

I don't believe they should have a right to determine marriage either, but I am against the government defining what marriage is. I suggest private heterosexual only church ceremonies, as that gets them what they claim to want while at the same time getting the real intention, the in-your-face insult to rationality, neutralized. Also, I am staunchly for a Don't-ask-don't-tell policy for fundies in the army, and it being extended to holders of political office and government jobs.

Wouldn't that work a bit better?

Right on! Leviticus rocks! The only thing I hate more than gays is lobsters. And menstruating women. But I reckon that seven days is nowhere near enough to set apart those unclean things and their impure discharges .

These dudes have got the right idea:

After several chapters explaining the process of animal sacrifice "For a sweet savour unto the Lord", Leviticus continues:

11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you (no crab, oyster, shellfish)

11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

19:19Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

19:27Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

19:37Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.

We better get started. We've got a lot of work to do to get back to the standards of Leviticus. And don't forget to stone all of the gay people right after you've finished sacrificing your goat to god burned all of your polyester mix clothing.

the bible is ( *)( *)( *)( *)ing retarted... period

The only thing I hate more than homosexuals is people with rounded head corners

It's more a matter of how you read it. I think it's mostly misunderstood in context and riddles.

Did Jesus himself speak against homosexuality? If not, then I see no reason to condemn a personal choice dictated by God.

On the other hand, I do not support gay "marriage" since "marriage" is a religious institution that the government should have no business interfering in, and I do support gay civil unions, since that is not a religious institution and can provide "equal rights" to gays.

Further, I am against gays adopting or raising children because I believe children are meant/better to be raised by a "normal" family with both a father and a mother.
