Are you serious? You do live in America don't you? Where do you think we got our laws anyway? I swear schools don't teach a thing anymore.

Why does it matter to you?

It's because of that silly book you base your life on, isn't it?

I can't believe people like yourself own computers. Did you know that everything in your entire world that's complex was created by people that think your beliefs are complete nonsense. How does that make you feel?

That is because you never looked, you got many things from God but you won't accept that there is a God so you don't look at the gift card to see His name.

And did you know some of the greatest thinkers to have ever lived were/are religious and believed/believe in God?

Anyone who thinks that is true is simply paranoid and delusional. And not that it matters, I am not gay. I only point that out because your response to me seemed to assume that I am gay (referring to a world that I've supposedly needed to create) simply because I pointed out the fallacy in your argument. You don't have to be gay to comprehend the ignorance and bigotry hurled at gay people on a daily basis. Nor do you have to be gay to believe that all human beings should be treated equally and with respect.
No I quickly changed it to gay advocate platform and I guess you posted before that got in.

I don't think you are getting the point and jumping in on opportunity to complain, and its not addressing or understanding the facts in the issue. A few analogies and it will work out fine.

Jesus gives me some great tacos every afternoon when he and his food cart show up to my work.

From my Canadian perspective when I hear poor black or white kids speak...it seems that they are not just illiterate buy they don't even have a simple grasp of the spoken English language. The only place where kids are taught anything to day is in the home. My kids are all doing well as adults...Anything of value they learned they learned from me. I always watched informative programs...I read - I indulged myself in music and art...I set the tone in the household that leaning was a positive thing. It depends on the parents- if the parents hate knowledge the kids are going to do the same.

Anglo Saxon law was not based on Judeo-Christian laws. It was based on old Germanic and Latin laws and beliefs, which were influenced by Roman law (which existed before Christ was born) and other tribal customs and laws.

Doen't matter. OUR laws today are based on Judeo-Christian laws.

Because I trust in the interpreters. How do you know any text books we read now have been translated right?

But children do best growing up with their father and mother living together in the same home. Every child deserves to have a mother and a father but not every adult deserves to have a child.
