"All of a sudden, I realized that religious groups had now dictated what rights a woman has to make an intimate moral decision on her own." - Barry Lynn, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State

I noticed that all people for abortion happen to be already born.

Christianity and other religions are essentially harmful, in the view of the foundation, which claims 5,000 members, most of them atheists who make small donations.

Another example of oversimplifying. It's the people at the extremes of this debate who are causing all the trouble. Neither side is willing to let others just be.

"All of a sudden, I realized that religious groups had now dictated what rights a woman has to make an intimate moral decision on her own."

Intimate moral decision...

Has a flowery sound to it, doesn't it?

When she made her first "intimate moral decision", I'm sure it felt great while in the process of exercising that decision. Day late and a baby, I mean, dollar short if you ask me.

So if I want to "intimately morally" kill my husband then it's nobody's business? These people are blind.

Secular fundamentalism is as dangerous as any other kind of religious extremism.

"Religion is not the answer, it is probably the problem."

Yeah, cuz you know all religions exhort their followers to hijacks jet planes and fly them into office buildings.

"Prayer had its chance on September 11 and it failed."

Man has had his chance a million times before Sept. 11, and he has failed every time. So if we're going to reject religion because of 9/11, let's reject humanism for every other day in the year.

"To stand by and do nothing makes God an accomplice.

An accomplice in what? Our right to self-determination? Yeah, He is. Of course, He could ordain the course of our days and leave us no choice. But then these same people would be whining about being slaves.

If He exists, why are we worshipping this monster?"

Because on His worst day, he's infinitely better than anything YOU have to offer.

By the way, if the Almighty's failures prove that He doesn't exist, what do His successes prove? Or do all the successes belong to Man?

Fringe lunatics. Reminds me of the Phelps', with their "God punished us with 9/11 because of homosexuals..."

I am reminded of both fringes when I wipe.

Folks have been talking about a band of boogeymen imposing a theocracy on America since the founding. I see more than 200 years of it not happening. Frankly, I can't believe folks are still thinking this will happen.

What I do see are fanatical left-wing groups systematically seeking to impose secularism on me, and like most people I resent it. Freedom of religion is not freedom from religion.

[Terriergal]

YAWN....

Atheists have nothing better to do than peer behind every tree for the Christians taking cover there from the barrage of fire they take every day.
