Freedom of Religion vs the Mandate to Evolve [W 65]

Which is more crucial

  • Total voters
    40
  • Poll closed .
 
 
Vague poll options, but I value the ability of societies to both recognize and rectify flaws in their thinking and actions over religious freedom, especially in the context of the OP.

It was really hot here too a few weeks ago for several weeks (not really sure how long it lasted), over 95 degrees with more than 80% humidity on average those weeks. Blah! Just like a sauna!

I feel your pain. I am currently working on a demolition/salvage job in this heat. We work 6:30 AM to about 3 PM and take lots of water/shade breaks after noon. ;)

LOL! Your pain will be worse than mine. I work at home in the nice air conditioning when it gets too much to bear. :mrgreen:

In regards to GW, there are a few scientists with opposing opinions, and to mention that during a lesson is not a big deal.

But the same is true of ALL theories in science. When students learn about science they're taught the difference between theory and fact. How many times should the lesson be repeated - 10, 100, 1000??? Should we run through all the possibilities over and over again for each theory? Where do you draw the line, here?

What are you so afraid of anyway?

The perversion of science by politics and religion. It's bad enough some idiots don't want their precious learning about evolution, which is a religious preference. Now we're going to let politics dictate science, too? If that's true we may as well throw it all away and start over with the discovery of fire. :(

Ah, yes, the fatal flaw in Libertarianism - government as a business. :lamo

tell me, why should someone be taught something, which is a contradiction to what they have been taught elsewhere?

We often have summer weather like that here, too, but it's more like a steam room. Saunas are dry heat - like Phoenix. ;)

Far as I can tell it's to embrace the notion of same sex marriage. I'm sure there will be more to it as the expression evolves, itself.

I have absolutely no idea how or why you defined same sex marriage as "the mandate to evolve", but we'll go with this definition for this discussion.

Nobody is mandating you to evolve. You can hate gays and be as intolerant as you want. You can twist and manipulate your religion in to supporting any kind of bigotry you feel like. The world, however, is moving on without you. Gays having rights has absolutely nothing to do with your religion. Freedom of religion is not a ticket to harass gays, so there is absolutely no tradeoff here.

tell me if the law said to teach the ideology of the KKK, would you approve if it was law?

government is no moral authority at all.

as I stated to you before government is made up of people who are elected and some appointed.

each of these people has a set of moral values they believe in, how does their election to office or those being appointed, get them carte blanche. to teach their ideology just because they are in office.

government has no moral authority, be it on sex, smoking, drinking, gambling, eating.

if government had such authority it could dictate everyone of those things in our personal life's...........and its never be given that power, in constitutions.
