"Legislative solutions and popular appeal are not the same thing . The legislature is hired to do what 's right , not what 's popular ."
"Well , you ignored the part where I said `` voting `` . But IMO legislative solutions ARE part and parcel to popular appeal because legislators are voted in on that basis . ANY legislator claims to `` do what 's right. `` So elections tend to be popularity contests . And legislators tend to want to keep their constituents happy .

"How can a museum about creationism show `` Fossil `` collections ? Aren ; t those more about supporting evolution ? I am very puzzled !"
"Same evidence , different interpretations based on different starting faiths . We will use the Lucy type skeleton and the next supposed evolutionary progression Homo Hablis ( for short hand , HH ) . CAT scans of the inner ear of HH showed that the semi-circular cannals , which determine balance and locomotion , are more like those of baboons than those of humans . This is not what one would expect if the evolutionary story about human origins is true , HH should be more bipedal than the Lucy type skeleton from which it supposedly evolved from , but it is not . In fact , most scientists now think that HH is not one creature , but instead is several types of creatures that do not belong together , at least three or more different animals , hence making it an invalid category . Further more , it can not be our ancestor as no such animal ever existed . Hence , the evidence is interpreted more sensibly and reasonable through a creationary model . This is just an example of what they may do with some fossils , IMVHO ."

"Yes Chrstians should be disarmed so the `` moral `` atheists , humanists , pagans who crucified people should rule over us . . . that would give everyone a warm fuzy feeling inside . Matt 26 : 1 And it happened , when Jesus finished all these sayings , He said to His disciples , 2 You know that the Passover is coming after two days , and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified . Of course there are valid reasons why Christ armed His men . Romans 13 : 1 Let every soul be subject to higher authorities , for there is no authority except from God , but the existing authorities have been ordained by God . 2 So that the one resisting authority has opposed the ordinance of God , and the ones opposing will receive judgment to themselves . 3 For the rulers are not a terror to good works , but to the bad . And do you desire not to fear the authority ? Do the good , and you will have praise from it ; 4 for it is a servant of God to you for the good . But if you practice evil , be afraid ; for he does not bear the sword in vain ; for he is a servant of God , an avenger for wrath to the one practicing evil . 5 Because of this , it is necessary to be subject , not only on account of wrath , but also on account of conscience . 6 For on this account you also pay taxes , for they are ministers of God , always giving attention to this very thing . 7 Then give to all their dues : to the one due tax , the tax ; to the one due tribute , the tribute ; to the one due fear , the fear ; to the one due honor , the honor . Luke 11 : 21 When the strong one , having been armed , guards his dwelling , his goods are in peace . 22 But as soon as one stronger than he comes , he overcomes him ; he takes away his armor on which he relied , and deals out his arms .

Matt 26 : 1 And it happened , when Jesus finished all these sayings , He said to His disciples , 2 You know that the Passover is coming after two days , and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified . Of course there are valid reasons why Christ armed His men . Romans 13 : 1 Let every soul be subject to higher authorities , for there is no authority except from God , but the existing authorities have been ordained by God . 2 So that the one resisting authority has opposed the ordinance of God , and the ones opposing will receive judgment to themselves . 3 For the rulers are not a terror to good works , but to the bad . And do you desire not to fear the authority ? Do the good , and you will have praise from it ; 4 for it is a servant of God to you for the good . But if you practice evil , be afraid ; for he does not bear the sword in vain ; for he is a servant of God , an avenger for wrath to the one practicing evil . 5 Because of this , it is necessary to be subject , not only on account of wrath , but also on account of conscience . 6 For on this account you also pay taxes , for they are ministers of God , always giving attention to this very thing . 7 Then give to all their dues : to the one due tax , the tax ; to the one due tribute , the tribute ; to the one due fear , the fear ; to the one due honor , the honor . Luke 11 : 21 When the strong one , having been armed , guards his dwelling , his goods are in peace . 22 But as soon as one stronger than he comes , he overcomes him ; he takes away his armor on which he relied , and deals out his arms . '' a moments notice ... `` Well it appears the guaranteed scheduled time is on the day of judgment . Luke 19 : 27 But these enemies of mine , those not desiring me to reign over them , bring them here and execute them before me ."

If it was simply a question of putting one abortion clinic out of operation , then yes , protesting wya from that clinic would be inappropriate . That is nto what we are talkling about here , though . They are protesting abortion as an institution . With that being the case , restricting their protest to that clinic would be inappropriate . I take it you found the pictures disturbing ? That is pretty much the point . People genberally have a lot of trouble getting their heads around things like abortion , war , etc .. I had a dinner party not long ago and invited an army buddy of mine who hapened to be in the area . After dinner , there was a `` loud conversation `` between my army buddy , a staunch conservative , and a guy who was pro bush ( which pretty much makes you automatically NOT a staunch conservative ) . They were arguing about the Iraq war . My army buddy , who just served a hitch in Iraq , pulled out a stack of photos when the guy started parroting the bush administrations line about helping the iraqi people . They were photos of civilians , mostly little kids , who were blown apart by US troops . My friend had taken them in Iraq , then mailed them while he was on leave because the US ARmy does NOT allow you to go home with pictures like that ( another of those new secret policies ) . The pro-war guy ran out the back door and puked on my lawn . When he came back in , I jokingly said `` so did he change your mind , Chuck `` . to which my buddy replied `` I think he just changed my entire life , political affiliations , and religon in 30 seconds `` . Someitmes that is what it takes for people to sit up and take notice , especially when you are talking deaths or body counts ."
"Well that was a lovely story and cudos on working in the anti-war angle . No , the 50 or more GIANT posters in a row alongside a public ( taxpayer funded ) roadway do not affect me personaly in any way from a shock perspective . As I said , I am strongly against abortion , I have seen the same pictures many times before . My complaint is the virtual forcing of all citizens to view the photos as they drive down a public roadway , and the harrassing of motorists at stop lights . Mainly my point in posting this thread was to try to find out if this was a common type of anti-abortion protest in other parts of the country . I 'm quite sure many other `` conservatives `` will view this type of protest as a wonderful thing . I think it actually works against the anti-abortion movement and alienates potential supporters ."

"That ’ s why today , after what happened to George Tiller , I know that the only thing that will assuage my personal grief over his shocking loss is for leaders across our nation to join me in expressing outrage at this heinous crime , this domestic terrorism . And yes , they need to call it out in exactly those terms . That ’ s what it is . I want to hear massive outrage on the part of the community . I want it to start with President Obama . His statement today is a good beginning . But that ’ s not nearly enough . He must immediately outline an action plan to increase federal protection for providers and clinics and call for stringent enforcement of the Federal Access to Clinic Entrances Act . He has an opportunity to make a speech that addresses women ’ s moral right to reproductive self-determination as passionately as his brilliant speech about race did during the primary . He can and should lead the nation to a larger and more productive conversation about the complex choices women make , and why women deserve the respect , equality and justice inherent in the right to choose to have , or not have , a child . He should bring together pro-choice and anti-choice leaders and get them to issue a joint statement decrying Tiller ’ s murder as well as all such violent opposition to one another ’ s efforts . Now that would be real common ground . .... The silence overall from leaders so far has been deafening , as attorney and longtime Arizona volunteer for reproductive rights causes Leon Silver pointed out . And if our leaders remain silent , I can tell you with perfect assurance what will happen next . There will be more violence . Dr. Tiller ’ s friends , family , patients , colleagues and the many pro-choice activists who have supported him over the years need the vigil in Wichita and those springing up elsewhere to mourn the 67-year-old doctor ’ s death and celebrate his exceptional life . The larger community of reproductive health professionals and activists , including those who bravely escort women safely into and out of health facilities for abortions , need to cry and hug and lift one another up on the wings of their convictions that they are doing God ’ s work , saving women ’ s lives in the fullest sense of the word . I am with them in spirit . But when it comes to changing a culture that has marginalized abortion by shaming women and hounding , even murdering , the doctors and clinic staff who provide safe abortions , when it comes to changing a culture bent on shaming women who are , in all good conscience , making the most moral of personal decisions -- candlelight vigils alone will never be enough ."

"Abortion is murder in countries that define it as murder . It is n't murder in those that do not define it as murder . You seem highly confused over the terms murder and killing . Pouring bleach down a toilet is killing : it kills bacteria . Slaughtering a cow for meat is killing . Murder is an illegal killing of a human . For an abortion to be murder , a country must define the embryo and/ or fetus as a human and must make the killing of that embryo and/ or fetus illegal . As to the idea that we are all glad we were not aborted , this is a nonsense statement . It 's like being glad that my house did n't blow up last night killing me in my sleep before I knew what had happened . On that note , I 'm really glad I did n't suffer a heart attack whilst typing this reply ! We are taking thousands of lives . It 's whether the killing is justified that is important .

"If all of our experiments show the Earth is 4.5 billion years old , then that is how old it is . If the Bible says something different , then either God meant Genesis for peoples past and now uses scientists to explain things better ( though I am uncomfortable with this idea as many scientists are atheists ) , or our puny minds , compared with God 's , have n't yet worked out how Genesis and an old Earth tie together"
"Such as what ? It is not like putting two electrodes into the Earth and getting a measurement on some sort of gadget . The only way to measure how old something is , is by using a set of arbitrary assumptions . There are few things that you need to take into account , such as the rate of decay , and so on . Creationists know that there is something seriously wrong with the radio-metric dating methods . Explain this then , carbon dating of wood under lava that was erupted from Rangitoto ( an island volcano near Auckland , NZ ) indicates that the erruption was around 200 years ago ( the name is said to mean `` Red Sky `` , suggesting that the Maoris , who have been their for 1000 years at the most , witnessed this event ) . Yet potassium-argon dating of the lava rock has given ages of up to half a million years old ! Now this alone is a big flaw . Any person who uses their logic can tell that the result of the potassium-argon is way out , it should be less than 200 years . The radio-carbon date is only restricted to thousands of years , because even after several hundreds of thousands of years , there will be no more radio-carbon left . The above came from Snelling , A. , `` Dating Dilemma : Fossil wood in `` ancient `` sandstone `` , Creation 21 ( 3 ) :39-41 . Creationists do n't have ( by their own admissions ) all of the answers when it comes to radio-metric dating methods , but they can see enough that there is something seriously wrong with the underlying assumptions . Professor Richard Mauger says : `` In general , dates in the `` correct ball park `` are assumed to be correct and are published , but those in disagreement with other data are seldom published nor are discrepencies fuly explained. ``"
