    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    Your argument doesn't get any more cogent. Gays are very slightly under-represented in parliament (5% there as opposed to 6% nationally): are you seriously proposing there should be no gay MPs? And what evidence are you presenting that these 62 evil plutocrats are all or mostly atheists? (Or...

    32 MPs out of 650 is just under 5%; in other words, the LGB population is very slightly under-represented in parliament. And you still haven't explained how they relate to atheists controlling everything.

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    A post which has been edited and considerably expanded since my first reply, but is still nowhere near a substantiation of "almost all major media companies, most politicians and retail company executives and owners are atheists who control what we see and what we don't see."

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    Serenity, this is nothing short of pitiful. You make a quite remarkable claim: "almost all major media companies, most politicians and retail company executives and owners are atheists who control what we see and what we don't see." and when challenged to support it the best you can come up...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    As other posters have pointed out, this does not make it acceptable. "Others have done the same thing but they did it worse" is a pretty feeble defence. Acceptable to the owners, I have no doubt; I do, however, doubt that enslaved foreigners, or daughters sold into slavery, would have agreed...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    So when it suits your purposes, Mosaic law is god's own commandment ("God says anal sex is sinful!"); but when you find yourself having to defend the indefensible, it's all down to "the mentality of people of those times" and not god at all.

    Question for Evolutionist

    Creationists really seem to think that if they repeat this one often enough it will one day be true. Take a look here. Or here.

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    ... and none of it has anything to do with animal evolution. Usually at genus level. Hybridisation is far commoner in plants than in animals. Try googling allopolyploidy. Sadly, it is. Enjoy your life.

    Should Christians celebrate Christmas

    It's hard to suppress a smile when you hear religious people dismiss other people's beliefs as "mumbo-jumbo".

    All that Baraminic Demarcation drivel? No, I didn't miss it. No reply there to 1109 or 1117 (or indeed any real questions about the real world).

    Which seems to be a long-winded way of saying no, you are not proposing to defend the views in question. Can you quote the words with which I insulted you? As opposed, that is, to being critical of the views you expressed?

    As I am addressing only the views expressed in your posts, I do believe so. Do you propose to defend those views?

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    Oh no, not the ad hominem card again. Look, thoroughbred, I was addressing your opinions. Specifically, your opinion that another poster is " completely ignorant" about gay lifestyles because hers doesn't match what you think a gay lifestyle should be, and your opinion that "the entire gay...

    This is getting beyond parody. You are really telling a gay person she is "completely ignorant" about gay lifestyles, because she does not subscribe to your definition of one? Whilst you, it seems, would rather "the entire gay community" conformed to your prejudiced stereotype.

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    Get back to me with answers to posts 1109 and 1117, and there may be a basis for further discussion. Can't see it happening, though.
