Donjindra, I am an independent so the conservative label means nothing to me. A few questions for you though... Does "investment" mean "taxes"? If we call someone a equal "terrorist" instead of a "man-made disaster" are we engaging in the “politics of fear”? Does "overseas contingency operation" mean "war on terror"? Does “detainee” mean “enemy combatant”? I could go on but I am getting bored. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not everyone is entitled to be taken seriously.

Dan Savage Savages the Bible, Christianity, and the Pope (Part II)

If the Bible is “a radically pro-slavery document” (Dan Savage), how is it that Christians who successfully fought for the abolition of slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries based their opposition to slavery on that very same Bible? The answer is simple: The Bible is actually not “a radically pro-slavery document.”

According to Savage (following atheist Sam Harris), “the Bible got the easiest moral question that humanity has ever faced wrong. Slavery! What’re the odds that the Bible got something as complicated as human sexuality wrong? 100% percent.”

To be candid, it’s easy to see where Savage and Harris are...
