I think society would benefit if gender roles were abolished completely. It is possible for males to be mothers and for females to be fathers, if they so choose, in my opinion.
A good example is the educational movement in Sweden to instill equality and gender-neutrality at an early age:

10 Reasons Not to Vote for Ron Paul | Who Would Jesus Vote For?
1. Ron Paul does not value equal rights for minorities.
2. Ron Paul would deny women control of their bodies and reproductive rights.
3. Ron Paul would be disastrous for the working class.
4. Ron Pauls tax plan is...
Do honestly think saying "I don't believe in God" is the same as Holocaust Denial or racial prejudice? There is no proof that god exists, yet there is TONS of proof for the Holocaust, and racial prejudice/homophobia has been proven to be unjustified and hurtful to people and society.
Besides...
I know right?
I am quite proudly atheist but I am also a proud supporter of Israel and the Jewish people. They quite literally made something out of nothing. It must upset the racists/anti-semites to no end that Israel is a successful nation.
I'm also a staunch supporter of Israel...
In all the territories of Israel there is not even one Arab that hasn't got an Arab homeland therefore they are Arabs. They have invaded/infiltrated/trickled into Israel under encouragement of the Ottoman and British occupiers but they, under these circumstances, have not become the owners. Look...

Where was all the "care for Human Rights" while 6,000,000 Jews were murdered Murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators and didn't received permission not from USA nor U.K to escape back to Judea?
Palestinian Arabs go back to Arabia, Jordan and or Syria As Jews came back to Judea...
I'm with the wife on this one. Nobody is going to tell me or my family how to dress, or otherwise run our lives. My freedom comes first, and nobody is going to take that from me. Not a Christian, not a Muslim. Nobody.
You would be a modern xtian. Christianity is pretty screwed up if you look at it (the whole thing, not any diluted crap) but they went through their enlightenment.
It is acknowledged that in order to be a Muslim you have to believe in the Koran. The Koran has violent verses, which among other things call for stoning, flogging and amputation of hands. It calls for war against non-Muslims.
So can you truly be a Muslim if you do not beleive in these...
I have friends who have been to Tibet. They were there, as paying tourists, and the Chinese police raided the hotel in the middle of the night, demanding that the people hand over cameras, camcorders, and cell phones. They were fully armed with machine guns. Anybody with a non-Chinese...
Absolutely, and I think elective abortions should be included. There are lots of reasons why a woman chooses to have an abortion. Sometimes it could be because she cannot afford to have a child, and wants to take care of her existing children. If women had better access to medical care...
I don't see it that way. If someone doesn't believe that Jesus is God, they're not exactly oppressing a Christian. Not being a Christian is well, sort of like not having a coin collection - you just don't believe.
I actually think he's very brave. He sacrificed himself and his mortal body...
The common denominator seems to be anti-semitism, which often makes for strange bedfellows. Hence why someone like David Duke got invited to Iran to make a speech at a Holocaust denial conference: not because the Iranian government necessarily agrees with the KKK, but because they share the...
In China there is a concept of Han Chauvinism/Han privilege/Sinocentrism where the majority ethnic group, the Han Chinese are considered superior to the ethnic minorities. It's especially the case in Chinese-occupied Tibet where Tibetans are considered second or third class citizens...
One thing that in my opinion makes xtianity a bit better than islam, again just my opinion, is that it is not as authoritarian (or at least hasn't been for about 500 years). If you look at the Bible, you can believe a lot of things that Jesus said (such as not judging your neighbor) without...
