“takes two, both are responsible. birth control is her responsibility? how bout keeping it in his pants is his responsibility? or is the male libido just something that real men can't contain? sheesh”

“The choice to carry a child to term is 100% the woman's choice. While males indeed carry responsibility for causing the pregnancy, it is up to the woman whether or not she wants to keep the fetus.
I don't shed a tear for those whose religious or personal beliefs make them choose an action that is antithetical to them improving the quality of their lives.”

“God knows all, they need not say anything aloud or behave in some ritual manner.
Given this point of theology what remains as the reason for public displays of prayer that has anything to do with God?”

“lol, the primary purpose of religion is to compete for hind ends in the pews, dominate socially and control people. The Christian right has been sticking their noses into the public realm since the Reagan admin.
dont make me laugh by pitching around a "need to control people". that is an authoritarian conservative fetish.”

“Secular humanism, popular culture, separation of church and state are what protects this country from the soul deep religious hatred and killing that has been visited upon innocents in Ireland, the Middle East and India.
Without them the Christian majority in this country would soon become more corrupt than they are already are and sticking there noses into peoples lives. The freedom that conservative idolizes is not true freedom but the freedom to exploit, dominate and control through wealth and organized religion. all the work of fallible men not that of God.”

“"There's no intent to alienate people, only to share Biblical truth"
Now if you believe that your flavor of Christianity is the whole truth then you are already on your way to arrogant.
If you find it necessary to proselytize people because you have the truth, you are already implying their immorality or simply that they are wrong and it is arrogant.
Any proselytizer who has been told off more five times would figure out that they do indeed alienate people.
pretty much puts the lie to the I cant help myself I am too happy not to share thing....”
