    I experience that currently, working in the defense industry, it is assumed everyone is a Christian Republican. I prefer not to talk about religion or politics at work anyway, although a lot of people don't seem to have that problem. I was wondering, from Ron, what basic Conservative values he was not comfortable talking about, and how he feels those differ from basic Liberal values. I don't think there is that much of a difference at the core level, the debate seems to be more about how core American values are realized. - Dan G

    Can you give an example of what conservative values were not welcome in your liberal workplace? - Dan G

    I don't consider myself a liberal, but you surely would. I strive to excel at everything I do, and often succeed. I have no desire to be mediocre for either myself, or my country. I think what you experienced was bureaucracy, not liberalism. Bureaucracy is not political. - Dan G

    I'm starting to understand you in bits and pieces. You equate "liberal" with the shitty work environment your experienced as a drug counselor. I can understand now why the word, to you, means everything you don't like. - Dan G

    What does that have to do with faith? Human society has developed, over millenia, a moral code. While organized religion has certainly contributed to the universal concept of good and bad, there is no evidence that any divine beings intervened. In response to your specific questions, I think abortion is a necessary evil, capital punishment is a flawed concept, cheating on taxes is wrong, and hedonistic behavior is too large a category for me to give a meaningful answer. - Dan G

    See!!! Evidence that atheists have no moral compass!!! - Dan G

    Then you are either a medical specialist wearing protective clothing in a CDC lab, or you're been teleported to West Africa, and Ebola is the least of your concerns. - Dan G

    Those are fancy words, but they are meaningless. What faith do I as an atheist use to construct my worldview? Not true at all. The idea that morality can't exist outside of religion is completely false. - Dan G

    So, apparently, what's good for the goose is not good for the gander? - Dan G

    I find it funny that the same person who dismisses polls of popular opinion as unimportant, thinks that viewship numbers are filled with meaning. - Dan G

    The fact that these papers exist and were published shows your conspiracy theory is wrong. - Dan G

    Did it take worldwide cooperation and agreement to wipe the Dodo off the face of the planet? Nope, just people not giving a shit. Did it take worldwide cooperation and agreement to stop using CFCs and let to ozone layer heal? Why yes, it did, and it happened. Wait, you mean God is going to prevent us from coming together to try to help all His creatures, great and small? Why would he do that? - Dan G

    You couldn't be too weary. I think that's the first time you've ever posted that. It's funny that God called those animals unclean in the Old Testament, but chastised Peter for calling them unclean in the New. He also forgot to mention that shellfish were now okay, but I'm sure you have some justification for that, too. - Dan G

    God was a DOS kind of guy. Just never got the hang of GIUs. - Dan G

    Okay, so a bunch of crazy conspiracy theory people said that. I took your post to imply that it was a mainstream belief of people who believe in climate change. Sorry for the misunderstanding. - Dan G
  16. DanG
    No one is talking about controlling the climate. Influencing it, yes. Controlling, no. Why do you think man can't influence the climate? Is it too big, or is it because you think it is in the Lord's full control? - Dan G

    Who said that? - Dan G

    Is that it? I was always under the impression that the modern conception of hell is not really described in the Bible, but based more on non-scriptural references like Dante's Inferno. By the way, I hope you haven't had any pork BBQ down there in Georgia. Isaiah 66:17: - Dan G

    Oh, so when you said: ...you didn't intend to actually tell us when the Bible says about hell. I'd still like to hear about the Biblical description of hell. - Dan G

    Would it prohibit them from providing information, or just not require them to do it? - Dan G

    When were Averged Sevenfold and Slayer lyrics added to the Bible? You think that would have made the news. - Dan G

    No such thing. The best we have is "beyond a reasonable doubt" which is the same standard for all criminal convictions. - Dan G

    Given all the mistakes that have been uncovered in the judicial system, do you really think it's a good idea to "fast-track" a punishment that can't be revoked? - Dan G

    Ooh, snap. - Dan G
