Meanwhile, the UC president whines about Free Speech and won’t take his chancellors to task. He defends them-saying they have spoken out against the hate speech. The problem is that no one will speak out specifically against the MSU and their speakers.

The whole bunch of them are a disgrace.

Here is what they should be afraid of. People. Just that simple. People in the agragat twist anything they come in contact with, government, religion, schools, clubs. Just look at the what will kill the US, tribalism. If tribalism was a good thing then Africa wouldn’t need outside help and the Tutsies and Hootoes wouldn’t be killing each other. People find divisions and exploit them. History of civilization is a story of a small proportion of humanity trying to control our tendency to tribalism and our ability for self destruction.

As for Islam, read above.

Socialists hate Christianity because it sets peoples accomplishments squarly on their own shoulders by the personal choices each one of us makes. Individualy. Personal responsibility.

I admit that there have been some atrocities done in the name of Christ but you must also realize that there are extremists in all religions. Just like I know that all Islamist are not out to kill everyone I know that not all Christians will burn you at the stake. That’s why we have freedom of religion. At the same time our nation was attacked by extreme Islamist and seeing what they have done to their own people in their own countries has given us the reason to be a little weary.

i do believe in something outside of ourselves. we’re easy to make, but i have to say, only an inexplicable force could come up with tropical fish.

despite what i believe, or do not believe in, keeping religion separate from the state was one of the great enlightened ideas of modern civilization. far less annoying and stupid than the medieval bullsh*t that suddenly finds it necessary to expose itself in our public square.

the very next thing, we’ll have a candidate for something who flagellates themselves on youtube and facebook, causing islamists to jump up from prayers, in yet a new rage, wrenching the backs of the multitudes in the process of shaking their fists at the sky. which, hopefully will disable them from causing any more trouble.

This is why it is more convenient to put up with the Islamists for now – they can help us eliminate the other two.

You say that people create other people. Not really, we just use the reproductive resources that we already mysteriously have. It is in a way involuntary. We choose to have sex but our reproduction capibilities had to be the product of someone else. It is not like we had any role in deciding that we would have a reproductive system. If there were another system like it on earth, you would automatically say that there had to be intelligent input into it. How can chance explain information. You say that Religion destroys human knowledge. In some cases that has been true. Consistently, the word you chose, is a matter of opinion. Keep in mind that Atheistic political elements have also been known to supress knowledge. Also, there are some raging lunatics in Texas who want to keep some of the problems with the evolutionary theory out of class rooms. I have studied the theory rigoursly. It is a theory that makes good observations but terrible conclusions. Religion has done terrible things in the name of God. I am a Christian and have seen God work miracles hundreds of times. I would never harm anyone for not believing like me. I appreciate the honest debate, and I will pray for you whether you like it or not.
