Hmmm... Carrie's mother was abusive - Nothing makes me angrier than child abuse. It's one of the many reasons I decided to major in psychology. Her Mother felt that menstration was evil - Hey, it's not fun, but it's not demonic. I don't lock myself in a closet for hours and pray when I am on the rag. Thankfully, I do not know anyone who acts in the same manner as she does, or I would have to step in.
I do not feel christians are any closer to god than anyone else, including atheists. Media sources always focus on the -ve, with any group, leaving uninformed people with the idea that the whole group is guilty. Teenagers know what I am saying. Most teens are great, but all I hear is how bad they are, cuz that is what makes the news. Like the saying goes, "Not doing something is not news." So, abuse pierces all demographics, and the reason we see so many Christians in the news guilty of it is that we have evolved historically as a Christian culture. That is changing, which I applaud, since I want all faiths to live together and get along. If some Christian fundamentalist grew up in a Muslim country, he would have been a Muslim fundamentalist there, and vice versa, most times. My dream is that all of the believers worldwide will someday accept that the other faiths are true too, and accept the members of all religions without reservation and without feeling the need to convert them.
If John Kerry had taken a strong stand against abortion he might be the president, but he did not have any christian works, and as a result politically he is the one that is dead. Democrats are aborting their party away that is why they are having a hard time finding the votes. Republican woman donot believe in abortion like Democratic woman do. Even if they stopped abortion today the Republicans will have the advantage for the next 20 years. Read the cradel will rock. I believe this is on line.
quote: If some Christian fundamentalist grew up in a Muslim country, he would have been a Muslim fundamentalist there, and vice versa, most times. Truer words have never been spoken. That type of religion appeals to those desperately in need of some type of crutch. It seems many fundamentalist christians have had bad lives, many genetically selected against apparantly, judging by the looks of many of them. Its just one of those things that appeal to generally uneducated rural people who haven't been exposed to much, and that can happen in any country. i would like to know the number of fundamentalists who were molested as children, I'm sure the number is higher than in the general population.
will you stop using the word "aborting" in your sentenes campbell? the democratic party is not "aborting" their party. they are simply the one's that stand for what individual rights. republicans are more closely related to the old soviets. they believe everything should be done one way and that the individual should only do what the government allows them to do. i believe that is not the way to run a "free" country. once again, kerry was against abortion, but he realized that individuals do have their rights. calling an unborn baby is really stupid. sperm cells are also "alive". Does that mean you mindless conservatives are going to outlaw contraceptives next because those sperm cells are "not born children". you really have to draw the line somewhere. a baby is not born until it comes out, when it gets it official birth certificate. i know of no country that hands out birth certificates while the baby is still developing inside the mother. im sure all thses dumbass 15 year olds running around with babies are christian conservatives, ive reached this conclusion because they dont believe in condoms and birth control, because those are blocking "gods natural way". think about it. and dont come back with some lame ass excuse and babbling. while you conservative fuckheads are taking away our rights, the least you can do is explain yourselves.
Ok, i am so sick of listening to your hateful bullshit, now shut the heck up with it already..everyone KNOWS your views, we just don't accept them now please go rant and rave to someone who wants to hear more of your bullshit cause i sure as hell dont
Scott Peterson is being tried for two murders not one. And I don't see any birth certificate for his unborn son. It is because Democrats believe that the whole problem with abortion is basically a plumbing problem is the reason their party is being viewed as morally bankrupted. The demographics of the Democratic party are changing because it is believed Democratic women have at least 30% more abortions than Republican woman. This is the reason the Republican population is surging. So when I say the Democratic party is aborting itself that is the reason. News week had an artical on this and the title of the artical was. The cradel will rock. As a christian conserative the line is drawn at conception, which is the biblical standard. I don't know what will be outlawed but I know sooner or later abortion will be. I also believe are country is going to have a cival war over this issue and that is when America's enemies will move against us. The Democrats look at unborn children the same way they look at African American's.
That is not necessarily true at all My what a stereo-typical, prejudical response. The, "Unedcuated people", at my church are Architects, Police Officers, Physicians in training, Teachers in training, and I, myself, am a Psychology major. As far as the statement of, "not being exposed to much", goes, quite a few, "fundamentalist", were raised in urban communities and had early exposure to the ways of the world such as drugs, sex, money, and murder. I personally know more non-church goers who were sexually abused as children than church goers. However, that is besides the point. Most people do not turn to faith due to a solitary incident in their lives.
I said please don't come back with lame ass excuses and babbaling. And you did anyways. How did I guess you would do that... But now you've gone so far as to say we're RASCIST? You fucking pussy assed bitch. You wouldn't dream say that to someone's face, your fucking "god" wouldnt help that if you said it to mine. You're really starting to cross the line campbell. You sense that you're losing your uphill fight, so now you have to insult us to try and make you look better. I'm glad you said it though, you've given us great insight into the conservative religious mind. And by you supporting taking away our rights, you're helping "America's enemys". Freedom is all I support, campbell. So tell me campbell, how is it you can preach about this leading to a war, be so sure about it, and still support it? Still support taking away our freedoms, Knowing that it will lead us to war? Why don't you fuckers focus on the already born people of this world? Focus on the people, children, and mothers dying in Iraq? People dying all over the world? Tell me Campbell, what do you do for a living? Because if it's not a doctor researching deadly diseases or a solider fighting for your cause, you have no right to dictate others lives. So shut it.
The Democrats look at unborn children the same way they look at African American's. campbell34 What, you mean they consider them for the position of Vice President? If I remember correctly, it was JFK who stood firmly in favour of improving the plight of that demographic. What do you imply campbell? The Republicans are more accepting of them? Then explain the stat you quoted earlier re: they vote Democratic by a large margin. Hmmm, you are either suffering Alzheimers, or just making up stuff as you go.
maybe a bit of both? you forget who we're dealing with. of course he's going to make stuff up. it's his best weapon. relgious people don't believe in facts. i doubt anyone who would worship a book knows what a "fact" is.

I just want to say that I believe in Spirit, prayer, miracles, and magic, cuz I kinda have no choice. Seen too much. But I did not reply to say that, just to say that as I enter my 40s, i know precious few 'facts'.
Hiya Ken Don't listen to him anymore, he's hateful, among other things he thinks he's right about everything when all in all he's not..You can't even try to debate with him..so just don't waste your time..It's good to see you tho
It is good to see you posting too, BlackVelvet. It is so refreshing to see a post by a loving, compassionate human being. I wish we all could be so accepting and loving, and not discriminate and judge others when the judgers themselves have a whole hell of a lot of personal growth work to do, in my humble opinion. clean up their own backyard, and mind your own beeswax is what comes to mind when I hear them pontificate on the "righteous path". Again, I must reiterate my Godly commandment to them. I command you to change your personal spiritual beliefs immediately, and believe exactly whatever I decide is the correct interpretation of whichever one of the multitude of scriptures in the world that I say is the ONE TRUE RELIGION. If you refuse, I am compelled to warn you, the most hideous tortures that the worst criminal minds that ever lived will be enacted upon your person for no less than a googleplex to the power of a googleplex millenia. That is a fairly long time, I might add.
