Regarding the Friendly Atheist post -- I too was stunned that a homeless shelter would turn away women in need because of their perceived sexual orientation. It's not just, it's not Christ-like, and it's not helping anyone!
I notice one thing that isn't Banned in Iran... capital punishment. They just hanged a woman for 9allegedly) drug trafficking.
Ahab: It's not just, it's not Christ-like, and it's not helping anyone!
But it's judgmental and provides a warm assurance of one's own virtue in rejecting sin -- which is the real point, isn't it?
RtS: Capital punishment seems to be the mullahs' own favorite entertainment, if not fetish -- how could they ban it?
Good Morning Infodel!
Lot's of real good link's here Guy, I still am browsing, but one I wanted to point out to, is to the Texas posting by Pharyngula. I cant sware to exact figure's/ number's .... but the man is almost pinpoint accurate on everything that he is saying ... it was astoninshing in a sense coming from a gent that dont even live here to have to hear the reality! What is happening in Texas is a nightmare of sort, which many here dont even see (yet), just as much too as the enviromental nightmare of this state, but that's another topic. You know back a couple of decade's or so when they started this mega lottery here, all those fund's were supposed to go to children/ education, we all voted for that ... what happened? As soon as we put in say $10/$20 million in the fund from ticket sales, Texas politician's have their hand through a back door (like Washington does on SS fund's basically, but worse) taking it out for "special interest's" Yes ... it's true that business, bank's, construction, is doing alot better than most state's ... but that's the thing Guy ... none of these folk's give a crap about our children here ... like I said before ... Texas is also a state where your kind of on your own, but putting our children into this category is the lowest of the lowest, and they do daily, trust me. They also use many urban foster kid's (LA does this too) to put on mega drug's/ pharma's ... the prison industry here is also a racket. The worst thing that happened in these time's to Texas, was Gov. Perry getting re- elected ... why? ... because he does nothing but smile, he is a total slacker to the max ... okay for show and good time's ... but horrible when a JOB need's to get done. Enough said
Thank Guy
Pitiful. Someone needs to remind these guys that their children will grow up to have to compete with today's European and Asian children who are going to properly-funded schools free of creationism and fake history.
I'm not sure exactly where un Texas if anywhere right now that they are being taught creationism or that changed history, I can tell you first hand that I rceently been to 2 of my grandson's school's got instance, one a niddle (JR High) and the other a High School and neither are teaching these thing's. Do you know which Texas scool's are currently teaching creationism? I'd be curious. The one HS my grandson is in is strictly a technical engineering school i Central Dallas, one of the best actually in the nation, however ... to get in there you have to have exceptional grade's, so it's doesnt accept everyone.
I did try to go online to find what school's in Texas teach creationism, however I couldnt find any over a few page's of link's, alot about "could there be?" post's and stuff. But this posting/ link below caught my eye in Huffington Post basically saying that the whole idea was kicked down (great news), what was a shock to me according to this link, is that the organization that was pushing this in Texas called "Institute for Creation Research" relocated to Texas in 2007 from California, which I never even known.
