Correct. His posts tend to be so ridiculous I feel compelled to respond.
I don't like talking about religion openly unless it's brought up, I have my own personal beliefs, but it just gets too personal on this topic of religion, and it doesn't need to be. Just my two cents.
On a related note, my state's governor signed a bill today to cut off state funding to Planned Parenthood. I just donated $100 to Planned Parenthood. I'm not an atheist, but I am on that end of the spectrum.
Someone has to. You make my brain explode. I have to speak out. It's a curse.
Then I suggest you should stop reading my posts.
It's pretty clear to me that believing in a higher power/intelligence isn't your cup of tea which is fine by me but you are unable to engage in a meaningful debate without having to resort to making inane pointless comments as well as unfunny jokes in most of these threads unless someone forces you to put your money where your mouth is.
Only then you actually engage in a civilized and intelligent converstion.

Good for you...
Do you believe in abortion on demand? Should it be used as a convient contreception? Even up to the time of full term gestation?
You might like to know in the province of Quebec alone out of population of 7 million..over 28,000 abortions were performed in 1998 in a province that has one of the lowest birthrates in the western world. This I find is disturbing statistics...
Do you believe in poor women getting low cost medical services? Our state already did not provide funding for abortion services. This new bill cuts off ALL funding.
As for the rest of it, you keep posting your stuff, I'll keep replying to it.
Oh yeah, I was driven to making jokes as a defense mechanism to prevent myself from going crazy by your complete lack of logic. You make so many baffling arguments and self contradictory statements with apparent sincerity in believing that they are actually logically sound that it makes my brain want to eat itself. Hence, jokes.

From hell's primordial soup, I stab at thee!
Then you are aiming at futility Foob.
You liberals champion the cause for removing the death penalty for hardcore rapists, child killers and others who have caused more suffering to others and be a drain to the country's resources which taxpayers have to pay for btw... but you have no qualms to deny those the unborn the chance to be born and thier potential to be positive contributors to society.
And you're avoiding my question..at what stage does the fetus earn the right to life? Does it have to survive birth to be considered a human being? Where do you distinguish what is a human being and what is just a lump of cells to be disposed of or used for stem cell research that more than likely won't produce limb or organ regeneration?
I believe in prevention of unwanted pregnancies in the first place.A ounce of prevention is better than the cure. There are many ways for women who do not want go through a pregnancy by making sure they don't get pregnant.
Why should taxpayers have to foot the bill for abortions on demand as a convienent means of birth control? Abortion should be only be performed in situations involving rape, if the health of the mother is in endangered or the fetus has severe birth defects and has little or no chance of surviving.

Planned Parenthood != Abortion On Demand Factory. Those "many ways for women who do not want go through a pregnancy by making sure they don't get pregnant," guess who could help women with that? That's right! Planned Parenthood! Maybe you should donate some money to them.
And who's playing God now with that last sentence of yours?
