Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae

Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae:

Because I had reason to look it up for an entirely different discussion with a libertarian Catholic.

Nothing could be more different from one another than the Catholic Church and the United States. I'm all for "Americanism". The Pope's coining of that word and making it sound like a bad thing is a joke.

The way the United States has turned out, has proven Pope Leo right. Your generation is so incredibly screwed up that you have passed the curse down three more generations. How many more fetuses need to die for your pleasure?

I derive no pleasure from women having abortions. I wish that every woman having an abortion had properly used birth control. What I love about this country is its respect for personal freedoms including the freedom to terminate unwanted pregnancies.

And with that, is my entire reason for opposing freedom- because under those rules, you can't have a human species.

Wait a minute. Did you just say that you OPPOSE FREEDOM? I didn't think there was anyone who opposes freedom. That's messed up.

As long as people continue to abuse freedom to do evil, I see no other option than to oppose freedom. I wish freedom was still the freedom to do good, instead of just the freedom to abuse your fellow man either fiscally or sexually, but after all, we're now living in A Brave New 1984.

"As long as people continue to abuse freedom to do evil, I see no other option than to oppose freedom."

That means, then, that you do not want freedom for yourself either. If you oppose freedom for others, you must oppose it for yourself as well.

Yes exactly. I don't want the freedom to do evil. I want to be stopped when I head down that road. Preferably someplace *before* I refurbish my grandfather's deer rifle, climb a large tree in Forest Park, and start taking pot shots at Big Pink (yes, that plan *did* occur to me after the DC sniper was caught, in my twisted mind of how I could have done that form of terrorism *better*).

And yes, if that means we need a law preventing me from buying 6.5mm bullets, all the better. Because there are people far nuttier than I am out there.

Father claims 15 year old girl is capable of consent in Lesbian Rape Case

Father claims 15 year old girl from another family is capable of consent : I'm beginning to really like the change in Florida's government.  First they stop handing out welfare checks to junkies.  Now they are treating Lesbians under the same rules as Heterosexuals, gasp, what a concept!  Don't sign this petition unless you are FOR statutory rape of younger girls by predatory lesbians. How many 18 year old boys have been prosecuted for having sex with 16 year old women under "minors can't give consent"?    Special treatment for lesbians?  Please, no.

Call them what you like, Broken Families are still a TRAGEDY!

Yes, liberals value family , but not enough to recognize that a broken family is a tragedy. Divorce is actually worse than death as far as the grieving process goes- especially when there are children, custody battles, parental support, and alimony involved. And homosexuals raising children? That is tragic, not something to be celebrated. Maybe if we'd *recognize* that a broken family is a tragedy we would be more willing to say, pay taxes for WIC so that the single mother working a minimum wage job actually has the ability to choose life. Maybe we'd have more men willing to stick around and help raise the children they cause because the condom broke while they were stupidly using sex only for recreation. Maybe, just maybe, we'd be raising men instead of a generation of cowardly wimps who choose homosexuality and suicide over real life. Suffering and tragedy is valuable- but only if we recognize that it exists.

Fundamentalist Atheism

Strange Notions is a new Disqus site run by Brandon Vogt to try to discuss Rationality and Reason with Athiests. He may well succeed with some, but there is one subset of atheism he will never succeed with. On Richard Dawkin's spectrum of theistic probability , those with a score 6 and above often fall into something I term fundamentalist atheism. Many of them come from fundamentalist Christian backgrounds, if not in their generation, then within three generations of their recent past. Fundamentalist Atheism starts with the assumption that the supernatural doesn't exist and that the natural world is all there is, and runs with it, denying any data to the contrary. I've always been one to consider the natural to be a subset of the supernatural- that is the only real difference between the natural and the supernatural to me is the line of the shared scientific knowledge of mankind. A scientist, therefore, if he is to learn anything new about the universe, needs to have h...
