Journal SPAM: News Flash! Muslims LOVE Jesus! 35
Muslims love Jesus. Jews hate Jesus.
Immaculate conception and virgin birth are articles of faith in Islam, and explicitly confirmed in the Q'ran. Rejection of this is considered apostasy and "kofr".

The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.

Mysticism, I believe is the word. These religions are mired in it. They are totally dependent on the ignorance of the populace for their power, and is why they hate science and the skepticism it produces. He tries to disparage it as 'postmodernism'. Demanding proof of something is apparently a bad thing. It is a threat to authority.

Over half of all scientists attend church regularly. You're saying they hate their jobs?? Two thirds of the world's population are Muslim and Christian. You're saying that 2/3s of the world's population hates science??

Well, somebody is out there shoving 'intelligent design' down our kids throats and is against women's (and gay) rights. I don't think they are atheists, but they sure carry far too much influence. It is one thing to be devout, but the evangelicals are definitely dangerous.

I certainly agree with that. IMO the evangelicals aren't being very good Christians. "Judge not, lest you be judged yourself."
Some of the churches seem to think that being gay will send you to hell and preach it from their pulpits. A lesbian friend once said to me that she wished she were straight so she wouldn't go to hell. I pointed out that her sins were no worse than mine or anyone else's and that as long as one repented, one wa

I'd like to know when men get reproductive rights...
Maybe as soon as men can carry and deliver a baby. A man has no right to obligate the woman to do it for them. That choice must ultimately remain with the mother, not the church or the state, or anybody else. Men are free to get vasectomies if they want to avoid any hassles. Conversely, it really isn't that hard to find a willing partner when they want to spread their wild oats... Maybe I don't understand what rights you are talking about. It seems to me t

As to reproductive rights, a man doesn't have to carry a baby but he has to support it if it's born no matter what. If the woman gets pregnant she can carry it and support it or abort if she wishes. She has all birth control options, men have three: condoms (which require her consent), permanent surgery (and any surgery is dangerous), or abstinence. If he wants the child aborted and she doesn't, tough shit, he's paying for the kid anyway even if she's lied to him that she couldn't have kids. If she wants it
