you are confusing conception with contraception

If the government were promoting Islam, Scientology, or even Mormonism, most Christians would object. Conservatives are being inconsistent when they clamor for small, limited government and rail against government overreach, yet become outraged when people oppose the promotion of religion by the government . Conservatives seem to believe that everything should be privatized except religion.

Faith is highly over-rated. Faith requires to suspension of intelligent, rational thought to believe things contradicted by logic or evidence. Few have shown greater faith in God than the terrorists who flew planes into the twin towers. If you believe in something based on faith , you are capable of believing anything.

I agree. The vast majority of people want to fit in with others and would not "choose" to become homosexual and therefore the objects of harrassment by the self-righteous. Minority groups such as homosexuals that have become disenfranchised from society tend to have vocal advocates within their ranks in order to regain a sense of dignity. While these activists can be annoying, their activism is a common and predictable occurence among groups that feel alienated.

Wrong. For many atheists, because their lives are not consumed with worshiping a mythical god and worring about getting into heaven and avoiding hell, everything matters. An atheist knows it is absurd to think that he can lead an evil, immoral life, then, on his deathbed, accept Jesus as his savior and thereby gain admittance to heaven. The atheist knows that everything in the here and now matters more because this is the only chance we get to live. Morality existed long before man invented religion, otherwise mankind would never have survived. The Bible is hardly a reliable source of moral conduct when it condones slavery and genocide.

Communism and totalitarianism are not natural consequences of atheism. Stalin was an incomparably evil man and shouldn't be lumped with Obama or Marx. It has been said that good people will do good things and evil people will do evil things with or without religion. But it takes religion for good people to do evil things. An excellent example of this is the demonstration of religious faith exhibited by the 9/11 terrorists.

Happy Festivus, Bill

Wow. Matthews is either desperate or demented. His mind is so warped from the kool-aid that he is unable to utter an intelligent thought.

Dems love sexual predators.
