BURDEN OF BEING A DEMOCRAT.

*things you have to embrace to be a liberal today*


Look here: if you don’t like the joke you’re obviously a bigotous close minded southerner who spends too much time watching NASCAR to appreciate the subtle humor, and satirical genius that is that copy/paste job by midwest okay? Your sense in humor absolutely must fall into line, or you will be swept away by the vast right wing conspiracy that only wants to draft you into the military, and not extend you any government aid, because they hate you. got it? Get your thoughts in line sonny Jim, because there no room for dissent in this day and age. The nation, nay the very world is under right wing assault okay? If you’re going to fight this force of evil, you’re going to need to get a few facts straight first:

1. individual relativism is key (but not really) you see, anything you want to do is okay, okay? Just so long as it isn’t to say that someone is wrong... wait, unless there republicans.. .then they’re wrong, and all of a sudden there is a surety and a universal concept of right and wrong upon which the world turns... but only in this specific circumstance okay? Other than that, relativism is king

2. socialist philosophy, or no philosophy. got it? Now look at how prosperous and productive European socialism has made their nations. see how well the political process in going in the newly established eu. No political strife, great employment rates, and best of all, if you don’t want to work, you don’t have to! its great. This is how America should run. its the only way.

3. (And this above all else) religion is the way of weakness, ignorance, and reliance. You don’t want to be perceived as a simpleton do you? No, of course not. I don’t care where your beliefs come from, what experiences you have had that have brought you to any religious beliefs, but forsake them now. The party is the new religion for you my boy. Here’s you ACLU card fresh from the laminator, boy, doesn’t it look great. Now you can engage in the systematic destruction of Christianity as we know it today!

A few more things on this subject. Never, and I mean never admit to being anti anything, no matter how blatant you know it may appear. Target the enemy, and destroy him. The enemy being anyone of a protestant denomination. Consort with other shady organizations if you must, after all, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. You may support the rights of child molesters, rapists, murderers, minority hate groups, so long as you stand against the tyranny of the white man.

Sir, it all begins here. Start by falling in line today, and perhaps, if you’re really lucky, we can get you an internship helping Hezbollah distribute Fahrenheit 9 11 all over Europe and the Middle East! It will be a dream come true... just don’t you try to think outside of what we tell you, and you’ll be just fine.



the feature is, that some of us are able to joke around without the copy/paste style... well, i did copy/paste that, but i also wrote it... and its just a realevant.
come on midwest. at least get original.

anewmorning. the liberal stance on religion (or at least my stance on it) isn't to 'destroy' christianity. it has nothing to do with it. my view on it is that religion should be kept out of the government. a personal religious belief should not have any use in governing a country.

i'm part of the country and not a christian. so why should christian beliefs be used in making decisions that affect my life?

there are tons of different religions out there in the country, would you like it if the president was a strong believer in some other religion and used that to make decisions?

what i'm saying here is that religion should be a personal thing. that's who you're in it for anyways, right?

no one wants to destroy religion. i just feel that with as much diversity as there is nowadays, religion should have no place in the government.
------------------------

- Andrew Berwald

its called hyperbole.

and from what i hear, the ACLU is generally involved in eliminating christianity from anywhere public (not all religion, mind you, just christianity) while representing the 1st amendment rights of child molesters.

if you think that christianity isnt looked down on and scorned by alot of the far left groups in america, i think you might be turning a blind eye.

but yeah, that whole thing up there was obviously a gross exageration, although, sometimes it really does seem accurate.















Mercy's eyes are blue

i agree with you that christianity is looked down upon by some extreme liberals. i think that's bullshit. people can believe in what they want. i thought that was one of the main points of liberalism. but you can't deny that many christians look down upon those that don't follow their religion.

i'm not saying that christianity should be wiped from the public eye, i just think it should be wiped from governmental decisions.

i personally enjoy religion. i think it's a great part of society. it's inspired a lot of great art, and is a very interesting topic. however, a personal belief should not be used to sway the way the country is run.

- Andrew Berwald

I was watching the debate the other night on 'under god' being in the pledge of allegiance. A couple speakers made good points.
1. theres no explicit punishment at the end of the day for not saying it.
2. It doesn't refer to any specific religion.
3. One person purposed 'one nation, under religious freedom,exc.' which I think is a fine amendment.
In all seriousness do you guys actually give two fucks about something so trivial as 'under god' in a pledge that has been around for so long. I think we have other issues to worry about at the moment other than frivilous little wordings. Im not religious and I never have been and I'm not offended one bit by that. By taking it out of the pledge it's almost like saying we don't need it anymore, we are a godless nation. By taking it out your offending people who do believe in god (more people believe in god in this country than dont) and it's just pointless. I could see the problem if it said 'one nation under jesus',exc.


God is an American.

^that's not what i was talking about.

i could give two shits about whether it says 'under god' in the pledge of allegiance.


------------------------

- Andrew Berwald

Well thats one example of liberals attacking 'the pledge of alliegance'


God is an American.

in reference to the pledge of allegiance comment: everyone knows it refers to god in terms of christianity, it also does not adress the beliefs of atheists, agnostics, and other secular people. wtvr, not my problem, proud to be canadian

athieism is recognized by the goverment as a religion, it's called secular humanism. it is in all essence saying that man is a god. and that man determines what is right and wrong.

So... because a person doesn't accept that whatever God dictates is right or wrong is so, then they must accept that all judgments of right and wrong are fabrications of humanity? Way to picture two extreme alternatives as a false dilemma, Mr. Hawking. Please, if you don't know what you're talking about, don't post... Divine command ethics is absolutely FATAL to religion, and no reasonable religious person would subscribe to it. There are DOZENS, if not HUNDREDS of alternatives besides strict moral absolutism and strict moral skepticism, so again, take a class, or stay quiet, because atheism (and I'm not an atheist) makes NO moral claims of this type. It is for this reason (though not this one alone) that you can't group non-religious people into one nice big secular humanist clump. It simply makes no sense.

''2. It doesn't refer to any specific religion. ''

what if your religion beleves in more than one god? what if your religion doesnt bleeve in god. what if you dont beleve in rleigiion. either way you look at it, having hte pledge in school is encouraging religion to the kids that go to that school becuase the plege itself is religous and it is christian in nature. that is not my only opposition too it at all though and it is not the main place where there is religion in the goverment



((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Microsoft Word is smarter then poeple

Hooked on phonix phucked me up

it's obvious, Bush sucks.....

The pledge isnt religious in nature its more of patriotic in nature. There arnt trying to abolish the pledge moron they are trying to amend the 'under god' phrase.


God is an American.

hahaha both my parents are doctors and they hate ignorant people like some of you that talk about abortion. They see it everyday, and they laugh so hard at pro-lifers, pro-lifers are so incredibly blind and ignorant. Pro-life means just an easy way out, you can just ignore the issues and say 'it's morally wrong'. soooo stupid. I can remember one time when my mom saw a girl in clinic that had been raped a month ago and just realized she was pregnant. She cried and cried because she had been pro-life or something equivalent and didn't know what to do. I remember my mom saying, this isn't an issue, go get an abortion, look what this is doing to you, go now and do it. i love pro-lifers, they are all male and have never seen or had to deal with a pregnant girl sobbing because she doesn't want to bring another human life into the world.

as for the secular humanism, if morals are not determined by higher power(s), then what are they determined by. humans. even if were not personally making it up, and its been handed down, either humans or some divine power made it.

i really want to know where else it could come from, seriously i'm intrested to know. also jd, what classes on religion have you taken? what religious affiliation are you. i would like to know where your coming from. let us know.

Divine command moral theory: Things are moral because God says so. Aside from all of the issues arising about which God we're talking about and how we're supposed to communicate with him, problem: if anything God says is good is so, how much sense does it make to say 'God is good'? He could tell us all to kill babies, and he'd be good. Being all-powerful, he could turn around tomorrow, and tell us that it is right to cause as much pain as we possibly can, and followers of Divine COmmand would have to accept this as the 'New Morality of Right'. The question that arises is, 'Does God command things because they are right, or are they right because he commands them?' The fist suggests that the divine command theory is wrong (because there is something else making the actions that God commands 'right'), and the second suggests that he commands them arbitrarily. God is not necessary to morality. This doesn't immediately mean that he doesn't exist, or can't be used as a guide to morality, but he isn't theoretically necessary. Anyone who alleges otherwise is merely hurting their own cause from a logical standpoint.

As for the alternative, that noone 'creates' morality...How many examples do you want? Just because things aren't dictated by God does not mean they are dictated by us. Most moral theories suggest that morality and immorality are qualities unto themselves, in other words, in the same way that we don't make the sky blue or the grass green (or colours even exist), we don't dictate morality. Things simply are or are not moral, in and of themselves. The debate lies in how we discover whether something is or is not moral. Are they moral is they produce the most total good, or if they are product of a character subscribing to the nicomachean golden mean, or because they can be consistently made universally applicable to all people, or simply if they serve our own interests? That is the debate of morality. Those who subscribe to either of the views you've proposed don't last long in discussions of ethical philosophy.

As for me, I'm Christian, in that I believe in Jesus, and many of the teachings of that faith, but not to such an extent that I agree with the Church in all of its proclamations, nor the bible in all of its decrees. Do I believe in a higher power? Yes. Do I, nonetheless, allow myself to actually use reason and rational thought to attempt to understand things, rather than accept anything dictated to me by so-called religious 'experts'? Yes. I don't take classes in religion, which are essentially a curiosity rather than a science, as they have limited practical applicability. If you're interested in them, knock yourself out. If you actually want a better understanding of the universe, take some kind of phil. Metaphysics is particularly interesting.

''the burden of being unreligious:

The funny thing is, that's basically the central thesis of one of the most effective arguments I've seen on why to believe in God, by Pascal. The problem is, most religious people would say you're doing the right thing, for the wrong reasons. But hey, he's right. From a pragmatist's standpoint.

yes, metaohysics is interesting, done some discussion on it and read some books myself, not enough to pretend to be an authority.

also, your Christian, but you dont believe the Bible? uh, if im correct, the Bible is the absolute authority for us Christian, right? well take a pair of scissors to a Bible, and tell the Holy God of heaven that you don't like what he wrote, and that you think that you, a fallible human being could do better

oh, and thats the wonderful thing about God, he is never changing. he said what is good, and will never suddenly change his mind about it.

Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

isnt that what youre doin JD? adding what you want to what God's told us, and taking away what you don't like?

''uh, if im correct, the Bible is the absolute authority for us Christian, right?''

Sounds like an exceedingly Catholic viewpoint to me... no, I don't believe that everything contained in scripture is 'God's Will', because it's ridiculously naive to think that the recorders put it down verbatim, or even that it was directly dictated to them by God. It's entirely possible to adhere to the general principles set forth by Christianity without being a slave to technicalities.

''he said what is good, and will never suddenly change his mind about it.''
The point is that, as an all-powerful being, he could, and what if he did? What if he'd dictated different things as 'good' to begin with? If there's some reason that led him to choose the things he chose as 'good', then that thing would comprise an eternal standard, and there goes your divine command theory. Seriously, no one even bothers TRYING to defend this. Prominent religious thinkers avoid it like the plague. And yet you're content to argue yourself off a cliff. THINK, please! If God is telling us what is right, that's fine, but he's not the one making it right. I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to be satisfied with that. The only other logical possibility is that morality is dictated arbitrarily.

actually, thats a very BAPTIST view point. catholitc believe you need a priest to go to God.

john 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

they also adhere to tradition. i have catholic friends that believe stuff thats not in the Bible, and when i asked them why do they believe it if its not in the Bible? they said, cause its tradition.


oh yeah, the Bible does say that God gave the writers what to say:

2 timothy 3:15 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

But see, I'm skeptical that this is entirely true. Is that hard to wrap your head around? Seriously, you keep quoting scripture as if it's supposed to prove something. Try logic, maybe?

aggro. obviously the scripture is gonna say it was dictated straight from God. that's the whole idea behind the bible.

j.d.'s saying that you don't have to believe every single thing in there like it was the exact words from God. it's not gonna make your beliefs weaker in any way, just a little more logical.
