That's the beauty of science. It's willing to change its mind when presented new data. Religion can't do that.

Science is constantly changing. Now you are supposed to feed your little babies peanuts, eggs, cows milk etc. Now we discover we were actually harming our kids by doing so. Science. True until it isn’t. But I do believe science and religion are just opposing sides of the same elephant.

                    The church needs to be involved in all facets of
                    life.  If you believe
                    the above.

                    You can claim to be agnostic or atheistic but a
                    smart person should hedge
                    their bets against actually not knowing that they
                    are totally right about

                    you are committing a
                    mortal sin.  Could be.

                    For me and mine, I will take my particular flavor
                    of Christianity and do
                    my thing, while you do your thing.
                    But if I have an opportunity to legislate away
                    things I consider mortal
                    sins, I will try.

                            Same with adoption for a gay couple - shut

                            sure on that.  When I was growing up there
                            were few gay couples who had
                            "come out" and we thought if the girl had
                            a different last name than her
                            mommy we thought that was odd.  Quite a

                            screw with a kids head in terms of
                            "traditional marriage".

                            It would be hard to NOT state that
                            traditional marriage has gone to
                            hell in this country.  But then again, so
                            many "traditional" things have
                            gone to hell.  How many women stay at home
                            and take care of the family while
                            dad goes to work?

                                the national stage.  Very impressed
                                with him.  Could almost call him my "man
                                crush".   I'd be interested in hearing
                                what you do not like about him Ken.

                                I think the "establishment" is missing
                                why people are fed up with
                                them, I'm
                                not convinced it's about left or
                                right.  If I had to single out one
                                person
                                as the poster boy for why the
                                establishment has failed us, it would be
                                Mitch
                                McConnell.  All 4 leaders in Congress
                                have only been worried about
                                their own
                                power and re-election, but McConnell
                                is the worst of a bad bunch.

                                I don't agree with Paul Ryan's
                                economics or some of his politics, but
                                I like
                                what he has said since being elected
                                Speaker.  I would like to see if
                                they
                                are just words, or if he would
                                translate them into actions.  I don't
                                think
                                we will get to find out, election
                                politics seem to have rendered him
                                irrelevant.  And Mitch the Turtle
                                would have to be replaced with
                                someone
                                actually interested in governing.  I
                                wonder what conservative goals
                                could
                                have been accomplished in the 7 years
                                Mitch has spent trying to make
                                Obama
                                fail no matter how much damage it
                                causes.  Tort reform? Modifications
                                to
                                Obamacare?  Fix sequestration?  Tax
                                reform?  Immigration reform?
                                Mitch
                                doesn't care.  Mitch cares about
                                Mitch.  That's the problem with the
                                establishment, they spend all their
                                effort on getting elected and
                                staying in
                                power, they don't even pretend to do
                                their job.  And let me be clear,
                                I'm
                                not saying Pelosi, Reid and Boehner
                                were much better, it's just
                                McConnell is
                                the most blatant hack of the bunch,
                                every time I see him on TV I feel
                                he is
                                giving me the finger.

                                I am probably fooling myself that Paul
                                Ryan would be different, but I
                                don't
                                think we'll find out.

                                IMO, Obama moved right, and the
                                Republicans moved further to the
                                right.
