How in any way does EQUALITY with other people equate to 'religious persecution'? Does the survival of a religion depend on the vilification and desecration of the humanity of others?

How very like humans to pervert a message of love and peace to make it into an ideology of war and oppression to serve their own ends.

It seems to me that wherever religion and politics mix in one body, fascist values - and not 'family values' - rear their ugly head.

If you 'don't do politics', trust me - politics will do you.

There are enough real enemies and threats in the world without having to invent imaginary ones.

Be assured, a God who spoke the universe into existence would not need grains of dust to fight holy wars for him.

The best way to piss off your enemies is to out-succeed, out laugh and out live them.

Many times we refer to people who express hate or behave in a barbaric, savage 'inhuman' way as 'animals', but on closer inspection we can clearly see that this is in fact, an insult to animals.

While EQUALITY means no more 'previously disadvantaged' it also means that there should be no 'currently disadvantaged' to replace them.

When your strength goes down, remember God is up to uplift you!

Survival of the fittest led to "nature red in tooth and claw" and this is not sufficiently wishy-washy for modern scientists.

Persecution is as necessary to religion as pruning to an orchard.

Fiery trials make golden Christians.

No, It's hard to uproot yourself and really become yourself in another soil, but it's also an opportunity, another kind of growth.

I am vegetarian, though, and so is my family.

No more pronouncements on lousy verse. No more hidden competition. No more struggling not to be a square.

I think I have enough tattoos for now. If I get any others, I'll probably do my kids initials.

Two hundred years ago, our Founding Fathers gave us a democracy. It was based upon the simple, yet noble, idea that government derives its validity from the consent of the governed.

It does take a little work to be a vegetarian but it's so worth it, oh it's so worth it!
