Ok. I'll admit it. I am not open minded to the conservatives' idea that the Earth is 6,000 years old.

Can't figure God having a sense of humor, eh, rgama?
Lot's of Conservatives don't believe that. All Liberals believe the Ice Age ended because Cro-Magnon man discovered how to use fire, however.

"Progressive" is a label they have given themselves as they truly believe they are better human beings than everybody else. They believe they are more intelligent, more deep, and more advanced than the unwashed slobs in "fly-over" states. As they believe themselves superior, in fact, an advanced form of human being, they are angered when their obvious superiority is not recognized by their inferiors. Even worse, when their directives are questioned by the very high-smelling trash living in these states that they have ordained themselves to rule.

But you should be pretty open to the idea that man is descended from monkeys.

Clowns like you are evidence of it.

It's called science. Yep, the same field that produced the computer you ar using right now.
Open your mind and learn some science.

"It's called science."

Is that why it's called "Darwins THEORY of Evolution"?

"Open your mind and learn some science."

You first, prog. Maybe you should look up the mathematical data(that's science) on the odds of the DNA pairings in the human genome lining up in perfect order to make a unique human being. It's far more likely a deliberate creation than random chance.

That is not a conservative idea. Stop spouting nonsense.

I'll tell you what. You go and find ONE person who believes that nonsense and is NOT a conservative and I will vote Republican on the next election.

So you want me to waste my time looking for a Christian who takes everything in the Bible literally? Not going to happen.

Don't you think there are any liberal Christians, rgma?

I believe there are Christian Scientists. And they are all probably liberal.

My grandfather was a Christian Scientist. He was very conservative.

Opps, forgot the rest of my thought...comes from doing too many things at once. Well, that and age. lol

My current pastor is very liberal, I still like him.
New research out notes that self-identified liberals are indeed more liberal - with the ignore and block buttons on social media platforms when it comes to arguments they disagree with.

As Zeke Miller finds in ORI's presentation, "liberals were significantly more likely to have blocked someone than conservatives," and specifically, they block people "because of their political views."

An old adage is that while conservatives think liberals are wrong, liberals think conservatives are evil. This has been proven true time and time again - liberals prefer to pretend like there's some...
