Well, I only hear one of two parties saying that outrage should be constant and based on one religion's standards and practices(which they more often than not, fail to accomplish. I'd direct you to the majority of Adam's posts about republican hypocrisy)
I guess you'll just have to evolve socially, or go extinct. And the sad part, is that the sacred republican party will abandon you the moment it's in their best interest. It doesn't matter what the future holds, be it mass northern migrations of social conservatives or book burnings at the local baptist church, there is an America for all of us. Some people just need to learn that beating everyone else over the head with their idea of what that America should be is in no ones best interest.
But, realistically, if the conservatives start to babble about moving to canada, they'd be bigger hypocrits than they are now. Besides, one group want to say ridiculous things like that because they want to get away from social constraints placed on them unfairly because some people think freedom of religion is equal to dominance of the majority religion. This is not a democracy.

Contrary to popular belief, being pro-atheist doesn't mean tearing Christians down. But, thanks for your fail anyhow. (O SNAP HERE COMES TEH GAY DEBATE)
Is that the same way being "pro-family" does not necessarily mean being actively opposed to equality for gay Americans, their partners, and their children? Oh, wait—yes, it does.

I am amused by your hypocrisy; you support the argument that Sherri Sheppard is not representative of all Christians by holding a "braindead whore" on a message board as representative of all Atheists, despite that being a detractor of Christianity does not necessarily mean that she is an Atheist.

Also, I read through some of her other comments. She's not a Christian; she's a rational, awesome atheist who is far above the intellectual slavery of religion.

I do not care whether she is Atheist or Christian. I do care that in 2007, there are Americans who are not sure whether or not the Earth is flat and do not think that anything historically predates Christianity.

contrary to your beleif, christians are generally much more moronic than atheists. this is not because atheism grants knowledge/reason, but because one has to posess knowledge and reason to let go of their relegion and become an atheist/agnostic. {seeing as the overwhelming majority of today's population in born in one type of organised relegion or another on in such socities.
conversely, christianity has an extremely high probability of granting one stupidity, which isnt necessary.

Make a thread if you want to debate that. As implied by my statement, I'm not going to get into that here.Well, yes, in the leftist fantasy, things are graded on a curve because some people just aren't as good as others.
If Sherri Shepherd = representative of all Christians, then braindead whore = representative of all atheists. It's a fun game, and that was the point I was trying to make.
Also, I read through some of her other comments. She's not a Christian; she's a rational, awesome atheist who is far above the intellectual slavery of religion.
but there is a big difference between those two analogies. atheism never makes any1 a braindead whore{or ANYTHING for that matter, it is just the absence of theistic faith, which isnt a faith/beleif in itself}
however, christinity DID make sherri shepherd say those things in one way or another.
so the example doesnt hold. it is true that not all christians shud be judged on such idiotic peope, but it does go to signify the shortcomings of CHRISTIANITY as a path. same as a few school shootings serve to alloborate on the law that grants right to bear arms, reguardless of it being or not being a true depection of all gun owners.

More recently, "begs the question" has been widely used as an equivalent to "invites the question," "prompts the question," "raises the question," or to indicate that "the question ought to be addressed." In this usage, "the question" is stated in the next phrase. For example: "This year's budget deficit is half a trillion dollars. This begs the question: how are we ever going to balance the budget?" This usage has met with substantial resistance among prescriptive grammarians.[4][5][6][7][8] . Argument over whether this usage should be considered "incorrect" is an example of the debate between linguistic prescription and description.

You are correct. However, I neither implied that atheism made her a "braindead whore," nor did I imply that atheism had a cause-and-effect relationship with personal characteristics.That is a faulty analogy. You argued that atheism didn't influence the woman's characteristics and then said that Christianity influenced Shepherd's actions. The two aren't the same.

it is not a faulty analogy. atheism is LACK OF. christianity is PRESENCE OF. there is a vast difference. she said those things DUE to christianity{which certainly CAN and HAS been interpreted in those ways in the past}, were it not for christianity, she wud not say those things.
however, a braindead whore has no connection between being an atheist and braindead/whore. so you parallel doesnt hold but mine does.
