Controversial Billboard Of Joseph And Mary In Bed: God 'A Hard Act To Follow'
Commented Dec 18, 2009 at 09:08:46 in World
“Sorry, Zanti. Read her whole quote. She referred to the "divinity of Christ" as fact. She was not talking about a mythological story (from her perspective).

“"Christ's conception was a profound theological question and the billboard would not "give rise to any intelligent discussion on the birth of Jesus," she said."
Theological question? Sure.
But the notion that "intelligent discussion" about a person's birth would include the notion of impregnation by a deity is utter nonsense.”

“I think they're referring to intelligent discussion OF THE MYTH. As mythology. There are scholars who do that, you know. Just like we have people who intelligently discuss, say, The Deerslayer, even though The Deerslayer is fiction. Things can not be true and still have value. And contain much to be discussed.

Schumer 'Bitch'-es Out Flight Attendant: Senator Insults US Airways Attendant
Commented Dec 16, 2009 at 14:50:56 in New York
“This article is unclear. Did he use the word to address the flight attendant, or did he simply refer to her that way out of earshot of the flight attendant? Can't tell.
The former would be rather rude and uncalled for (unless the flight attendant was rude first). The latter would just be a fairly typical comment by a frustrated person.”

Personally, I don't believe that my forbears evolved over millions of years and reached the pinnacle of the food chain just so I could graze. Besides, if we weren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?”

“The problem with our political system is that it IS an economic system based on greed.
For example, look how many US senators (both parties) have chosen their position on health care reform based on campaign contributions and other forms of bribery.
Our political system and our economic system are both controlled entirely by big corporations, which in turn are controlled by greedy rich people who lust for wealth and control.”

DeMint Would Be Bothered By Openly Gay President
Commented Dec 14, 2009 at 11:00:24 in Politics
“If DeMint thinks marriage is purely a religious institution, it is his sworn duty to fight to remove marriage as a government institution, since the government may not establish religious institutions.
In fact, the thing that governments now call "marriage" is really "civil marriage", which is NOT the same as either the social institution of marriage or the myriad religious institutions called marriage.
Civil marriage should and must be available to all.”

“Nope, you've oversimplified.
Yes, myth and ignorance are contributors. But are you saying that no religion contains ANY great philosophy, or great thought, or great ethics, or great guidance on how to live a good life? (And that's just a partial list.)
Wise people are actually quite able to pull most of the good stuff out of their religions and are able to reject most of the baloney. Many people are able to understand the mythological aspects of their religion to be allegory and not reality.
It's fine for you to suggest that myth and ignorance have had a role in the founding of religions. But to go beyond that and suggest that all sects of all contemporary religions are simply about myth and ignorance and nothing more truly IS naive.”

“In general terms, religion is indeed a source of hatred and violence. However, this is more true of some sects of religions than others.
It is similarly true that religion is a source of ethics, wisdom and positive motivations. Again, this is more true of some sects than others.
My observation is that there are many, many religions, each of which is a very complex entity. Evaluating any one sect of any one religion with a single adjective is a ridiculous over-simpl
Using a single characterization to apply to ALL religions is an example of extreme naivety.”

Did it occur to you that if there was one and only one interpretation of these "holy books", then there would be only one Jewish sect, one Christian sect and one Islam sect?
Do you comprehend that it is impossible to understand what adherents to a particular religion believe simply by reading their holy book? Or even worse, to have people of YOUR religion teach you what people of ANOTHER religion believe?

“The average person can't hit a drive deep in the woods and follow it up with some miracle shot that only the golf gods on high could sanction, and still forge a birdie or eagle out of the errant tee shot.
Average people don't even come into play in Tiger's golf world, nor probably his private world, other than the thousands of children who are helped annually with his foundation's assist.
But, in reply to your assumption - yes, I bet it is nice to be rich. Especially when you've screwed up royally, and the whole world of sanctimonious yahoos are watching your every move. I bet then, all of us who have ever wished for that kind of wealth and fame would gladly hand it back over, just for the chance to be a not-so-well-known, rich schmuck again.”

Breakthrough: Health Care Talks Advance In Senate

“A robust public option will make premiums go down. That is based on the most fundamental of conservative economic thinking. Namely, true competition drives down price.
Will a watered-down public option engineered by the bribe-accepters in Congress drive down premiums? Less clear.
But there is no doubt whatsoever that the kind of reform desired by "libs" would be a boon to everyone (except health insurance executives and to politicians on the take).”

“Competition can only drive down profit, not operating expenses.
Insurance profits are only 1-2% of the health care dollars we spend. Insurance administration, in comparison, is almost 20% of what we spend.
Creating a public option could perhaps save 1% in profits, but will completely ignore or even make the administrative costs go higher.”
