Salvation Army also probably won't let any little boys have Easy Bake Ovens either. (I always played with my sister's when I was little -- she didn't know how to work the thing properly.)

I can't believe Chuck quoted Matt Barber and referred to him in this article. Matt Barber is just about the most hateful, virulent, LIAR there is. You should read some of his material. Barber obviously has some suspicious, obsessive issues and the fact that Chuck quoted him of all people pretty much invalidates Chuck's position in this article.

Prophet: WE were the one to use these weapons offensively -- not defensively. The United States IS a rogue state.

I hope they're not real trees. They can be horrible fire hazards.

Ah! Thanks for clearing that up, Rhi. (Heaven forbid a spiritual author should be inclusive or Christ-like.)

Deepak Chopra is no atheist. He's even debated atheists about the existence of God.

“In the long and tragic history of human warfare the nuclear weapon occupies a singular position due to the scope and scale of its terrible and indiscriminate power to destroy human life,” stated NAE President Leith Anderson. . . . Right. And who was the ONLY country to release this terrible weapon upon tens of thousands of innocent people? Perhaps the world community should demand that the U...more

. . . Right. And who was the ONLY country to release this terrible weapon upon tens of thousands of innocent people? Perhaps the world community should demand that the U.S. give up all of its nuclear weapons. We have no right to expect other countries not to have them when we have been the only country to ever use them.less

According to the U.S. Dept of Commerce, 6.8 percent of the population in the U.S. are gay. That's about 20 million people. According to the Bureau of Statistics, the divorce rate for heterosexuals in Massachusetts is 9 times higher than gay couples during the first three years of marriage. With such dire marriage statistics in this country (thanks to heterosexuals) why would this author advocate s...more

Clover: I hardly ever link to anything BUT satire. This article was a brilliant piece of it.

Right. If Cooper's going to use that argument, then post-menopausal women should be barred from marriage along with gays.

If anyone hates gays, they should just have the backbone to admit it. But to cloak their bigotry and disguise it as Christianity is just about the most immoral, cowardly, and dispicable act I can think of. If you hate gays, then admit it and try leaving it at that. . . . In other words, MAN UP!

I guess Steve Jobs doesn't want his company to be used to spread hatred and bigotry disguised as Christianity. The nerve!

News Flash: In order to appease Republicans, Obama is finally willing to agree that he's a Muslim. Here's the story: WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In his latest effort to find common ground with Republicans in Congress, President Barack Obama said today that he was willing to agree that he is a Muslim.

Differences over his religious orientation have been a sore point between the President and his Republican foes for the past two years, but in agreeing that he is a Muslim Mr. Obama is sending a clear signal that he is trying to find consensus.

“The American people do not want to see us fighting in Washington,” Mr. Obama told reporters at the White House. “They want to see us working together to improve their lives, and Allah willing, we will.”less

Believer: You seem to be giving me a lot of power here. I as a person don't "uphold" anything as far as the courts or the will of the people are concerned. I do agree that the courts should be the ones deciding civil rights -- not popular vote. What would be the state of civil rights (especially for Blacks) if these decisions had been left to popular vote?

believer: If the courts barred same-sex marriage, I wouldn't agree with it but what could I do? (1) I don't want to get married (2) I prefer not to break any laws. (3) It's not important enough to me to move to Canada.

Believer: What choice would I have?

ProtectMarriage says "In America, we should respect and uphold the right of the people to make policy choices through the democratic process . . ." So, if the majority of the people vote to allow same-sex marriage (and eventually they will) would ProtectMarriage "respect and uphold the right of the people to make policy choices???"
