Funny, my religion only believes in one single thing:
“The Truth”
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.
Some claim better eyesight.

I saw my daughter as the miniature human she was. Stretching her

The church needs to be involved in all facets of

You can claim to be agnostic or atheistic but a

What many people who lose sleep over Planned
Parenthood are actually
upset about is they offer birth control.
Some people obsess about poor
people having sex without the punishment of
getting pregnant. See this if
you forgot:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh%E2%80%93Sandra_Fluke_controversy
I don’t understand how you can be extremely
anti-abortion yet also
extremely anti-contraception. Less unwanted
pregnancies = less abortions.
Which is the lesser evil?
I think it comes down to some people are
obsessed with sex, especially
“other” people having sex. #nosyneighbors

I don't care about gay marriage. I'm not
gay, I know a handful of gay
people. Not my cup of tea but the
government doesn't have any right telling
them what they can or can't do.
Same with adoption for a gay couple -
shut up gov'mt. Now, I'm not so
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
bit different now but it could still
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?
I am in favor of defunding planned
parenthood. The videos pretty much
got to me. It's MY TAX DOLLARS. Defund
it. There are plenty of other
non-government-funded entities who can do
that work.
Any tax is bad :)
I'm going to stop there, i will get in

So “man crush”, is that like Trump

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.
