<p>whoa this thread has been going strong since i last came, but i’m back!
good points made by Primitive and others</p>
<p>as usual ElCommando is making no sense and BCgoUSC is pretending to be jesus.</p>
<p>a few specific things that stuck out…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>2 or 3 people on the pro-bush side said this… all i have to say is, are you joking? you ask someone to give you proof and he does… then you dont read it. thats cool…
a debate like this SHOULD be backed up with facts… you guys are being ridiculous: primitive made an argument, you said “back it up”, so he did, with VERY valid facts. who the hell cares if he cut and paste, all the quotes were cited! (and no one on CC has the time to make that list on their own… we’re all trying to get into college here!!)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ok god, thank you.
yes, clearly this pastor is going to hell. it is terrible to devote your life to helping people. next week im going on a retreat that he’s leading to work for habitat for humanity. that is what we sinners like to do.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>the majority of people have sex outside of marriage anyways, buddy.
and you cant force people to be catholics… catholics do not own the priviledge of marriage.<br>
and last i checked catholics were against abortion as well as any form of birth control.
…cool, then dont do it yourself, but i couldnt care less what you think about MY right to choose.</p>
<p>and lastly, hhboyji, dont ever let anybody tell you who you are or what you can or cant be! :)</p>
<p>How can any self-respecting conservative support Bush after his catastrophic expansion of entitlements ($600 billion in first few years alone drug benefit anyone?), his gross fiscal irresponsibility, his attacks on states rights, or the fastest expanision of government since Lyndon Johnson?</p>
<p>I don’t really approve of premarital sex, but I think that the law can’t enforce it. It obviously is against the constitution and the bill of rights. I don’t like it and think that we’re morally obligated to not do it, there is a big difference between ethics and law. Also why is turning into a religious thread? Have you not been aware that a significant portion of the nation is not christian including me? This is politics not theology .</p>
<p>i think its because the pro-bush people (oh and bush too) try to turn everything in to a religious issue becuase they have no real argument without it.</p>
<p>But there is no evidence showing they were gay from birth. Right? So why wouldnt you follow the Bible. </p>
<p>“And primitivefuture, continue hiding behind your user name. Your habitual attempts to create conflict aren’t going to go over well when you enter the real world. Just a word of advice.”</p>
<p>Hmmm thats true…I wonder why he wanted to have a debate online when he could go have one at school if he just found the Republican club on campus.</p>
<p>I think this is getting personal. A debate is a debate no further primitvefuture might be doing something like homework or ECs maybe?
is there any evidence that they weren’t gay from birth? nothing is proven so you can’t just enforce your ways.
ALso the MANY AREN’T CHRISTIAN OK?
how do you know if the bible is true? you’re like those people in TN who ban teachers from teaching evolution in the classroom.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m in this debate too, but I’m not personally attacking people who don’t agree with me. That is what primitive is doing. I challenge him to go on the streets and say some of the stuff he has said on this thread and the Dartmouth one and see what kind of reaction he gets. I guarantee he would get his ass kicked.</p>
<p>“i think its because the pro-bush people (oh and bush too) try to turn everything in to a religious issue becuase they have no real argument without it.”</p>
<p>Religion and politics are becoming more and more intertwined, especially sinec GOPers, both in gov’t and on this board make it an issue.
RELGION AND POLITICS ARE SEPERATE PEOPLE</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson said that religion and state is separate. Also parts of European history is the struggle to separate state and religion. Mixing it together is like so medieval.</p>
<p>Oh I’m sorry, I forgot that there were advocates of USJ ( United States of Jesusland) on this board.
Why are religion and politics seperate? Well, that (along with a number of reasons) has made the U.S. the powerr that it is today. The religious right is threaening to destroy the foundation of what this country was based on: Equality for all, whether it be for homosexual people or women.
Now, does anyone honestly believe that religion has a positive role in politics?</p>
