But in the meantime their position is that if a woman gets pregnant the law should force her to do everything possible to deliver a newborn to them, or die trying. My position is that it is none of the law's business. Which is also the position of the SCOTUS until June 2022 when they will turn your nation into a battle ground over the issue. A battle that will be fought on a state to state basis until women regain their rights. No where else in the world has a democracy come to a different result.

He got fired, supposedly for a political/social disagreement. I would bet that there is a completely different narrative from the point of view of the company who fired hm. I that is really what happened at all. I must admit that I did not read the whole very lengthy story of how he was wronged. But apparently you and he are both fully woke to what discrimination feels like to experience. I sure hope that no one at Reuters HR ever kneels on his neck until he expires.

How much time do you have?

It may have been about church owned rental properties. They have sometimes been controversial.

Stacking the SCOTUS with Justices chosen for their commitment to removing a right from women changes everything about the previously settled law in your nation. I'm not sure how this ended up in the 2nd amendment thread. You are very obsessed with the fight to remove those rights it seems.

Yes, it is just a song I like and probably Pete Townsend's best lyric. I'm 64 and I have two grandchildren.

It isn't. It is a political issue that had politicians form an alliance with various US Christian churches. The R party very skillfully used the issue. However if you ask the Holy Roman Church they will gladly inform you that it is a religious issue. Don't be setting traps for me to tell you how it is a religious issue. Ask someone who is religious and they will tell you.

I hope I die before I get old......... Don't try to dig what we all say.

Yes, I am not old enough to remember him. But I am aware of who he was.

Only if the point you are making is that we need as many people as possible to fight back hard against religions making public policy.

We all pay to service and protect those buildings. And not just in America, in Canada as well.

So what. Do you think JFK wrote his own speeches? He chose to deliver it.

Overall the tax from that group would be much smaller than from the mega evangelical ones. So for myself I would make that trade off.

Not a bad quote for Joe...... "You can't love your country only when you win."

Sigh......I do waste a lot of time here.
-
Huh? Are you kidding, or do you really thing religion is governing policy? Tell me about all the Christian values and how they form the core of the Republican Party policies. Tribalism is the only influence religion is having. The Taliban. or the Cristian fundamentalist it is all the same. They completely ignore the "word of god" that they claim to believe in and only care about power for their group.

You may be, I am not.

Yup, I don't want to get shot by some raging American zealot in a parking lot. Much safer to let it all hang out here.

You don't have to be in the bible belt, as you well know. I no longer even have a CB radio. But that would be rude. The push back that some engage in here is mostly push back toward those who come here to complain that their word is changing. My feeling is that it is not changing nearly fast enough, but at least it is changing. Religion and politics are tied in an unholy knot and that bodes ill for all of us.

Besides, they are all on the Liberal west coast side of the state. REAL Oregonians want to breakaway and join Idaho in a union of freedom from all of that. And yes, it sure must suck to be a believer. It's hard to live with such a strong persecution complex. Everywhere around you if you try to talk to people about your beliefs you just get laughed at. I'll tell you what, when they STFU maybe we will too. We are as tired of the proselyting as you are tired of us laughing at them. I can not drive down the freaking interstate without being told over and over that that I am going to spend eternity burning in hell. So maybe that could help you understand that here in SC people take the chance to push back.

No one wants the shithole countries. Russia wants Ukraine. China wants to be proud like America. The EU wants the UK back. And the KKK wants Kentucky and Northern GA to itself

Time to break up those large nations into more manageable sizes then. One for each tribe.

A meteor impact is a fairly quick acting disaster. The impact of the expansion of humanity seems more akin to that of a fungus, a cancer or dare I say a virus. I am not a doomsayer but it is pretty clear that our impact on other species is rapidly becoming even more intense. I love our current lifestyle, or at least the one I get to experience here. But I can see that a lot of it is dependent on so many international connections and complicated technology that could be easily disrupted.

Oh, you certainly can. You could put it in writing and make it part of the the theology. The pope has made many comments that are personal opinions and not policy.

Hi Jerry, I guess Keith is confusing the level of comfort and self assurance that all was right in his world with the reality the many others faced. We all are in some ways I suppose. These damned modern communication methods we have make it very hard to not know about so much conflict. Maybe the Chinese have it right. Enforced harmony.
