  • moral idiot much?

    From the article:It is a moral idiot who thinks that anti-Semitism is a threat only to Jews. The history of civilization demonstrates something rather different: Judaeophobia is an unfailing prognosis of barbarism and collapse, and the states and movements that promulgate it are doomed to suicide as well as homicide, as was demonstrated by ...

  • And McCain and Clinton?

    Unfortunately, Americans have been polled (Univ of Minn, et al) as distrusting atheists far more than any other minority group -- including Muslims and gays! Any presidential candidate that refuses to pander to this (and, perhaps, add a flag pin for good measure), will win in a landslide if Mr. Hitchens' and my votes are the only ones ...

  • Re: See no evil, through a veil

    Ms Schmidt, you propose a false dichotomy with biased terminology intended to elevate your moral and intellectual position. 'Free vs oppressive system' is such an example. As I have mentioned elsewhere here on the Fray, true ''freedom'' is beyond human reach- it is a utopic ideal. It would arguably be more accurate to call the matter of wearing ...

  • Not tasting your own medicine?

    You complain about omnivores perceiving you as not quite normal when they find you're a vegetarian. Then you comment about vegans that ''these people are intense.'' Do you not see that you're doing the same thing to vegans that omnivores do to you? Ok, so they eat and believe differently than you do. By your own argument, they're otherwise just ...

  • The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .

    . . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

  • Re: So, anyone seen this movie ?

    I have had this on my list of videos to watch but have not yet gotten to it. I have read much of the work he uses as source material cited however. From what I have read of the source material, I don't suppose many true believers would find their faith seriously challenged, but those sceptics who now view Jesus as a historical teacher or ...

  • Obama's grams feels: a)sad b)mad c)lonely d)youdontknowher

    tip* if you're the clinton supporter that you make people think you are by writing this article, it's a bad idea to mention the word 'dishonesty' in a political blog/op ed/whatever on a day when the much bigger campaign story that is *not* old old news (as yours was) is hillary clinton concocting an utter fantasy and getting caught with ...

  • Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part III

    Hard Copy Whatever it is you want in a God, you probably want it in writing. In the form of stone tablets, sheets or scrolls of papyrus, illuminated vellum manuscripts, gold plates or cheap paperbacks, most religions can provide you with their histories and beliefs, their do's and don'ts. If this were a buyers guide to cars or ...

  • Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part II

    Unless you follow St. Augustine of Hippo or John Calvin, who, by the way, never even made Saint, let alone Patron Saint of Brewers as Augustine did, you have something called free will and, yes, that's an enormous burden as well as an empowering freedom. And, for God's sake, if you're firmly in that predestination camp, pass this on at ...

  • Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part I

    Find the religion that's right for you by answering these two questions: What do I want from God? and What does God want from me? Whether you're a first time shopper or just no longer satisfied with your current spiritual affiliation, you need help. If you were looking for a new house or car your local bookstore's shelves would be ...
