Do our resident conservatives and republicans truly believe women are biologically suited to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?

[Ben Kenobi]

Gosh, you know your argument sucks when you get a trio of Loinburger, Kenobi and Elok siding against you.

[giblets]

Gosh, you know your argument sucks when you get Loinburger and Elok siding against you.

Cut out the unnecessary fluff.

[Elok]

Are you an idiot?

That's hardly proof of an ancient Roman abortion industry. If anything, a few elites made use of the practice.

And even then... 2 million years of human evolution... 2,000 years ago still represents "very recent"

Well, not if you happen to believe the Earth is 6,000 years old, I suppose.

You always were a bit too close to BK in the fundie department. Orthodox convert, IIRC?

Cradle, son of convert. The fact that I still believe in some tenets of the faith beyond monotheism and pope-bashing hardly makes me a fundamentalist. And 2K YA, while "recent" in the sense that walking on two feet was old hat by then, is not "modern" in any normal sense of the word.

And see what Loin said for the rest.

[Ben Kenobi]

Cut out the unnecessary fluff.

Some times it's Elok + Loinburger.

Some times it's Elok + Me.

I don't believe there's ever been a time when it's been all three of us on one side and another polytubby on the other.

Congrats on finally getting 2 people to agree with you about something

[Ben Kenobi]

I am disappointed poly did nothing with that setup...

You're asking me what I think?

Not this, clearly, Sister Goebbels Of The Pass Laws :

There is no such thing as white superiority or black inferiority…all people are equal before God…there may not be under any circumstances a political policy based on oppression, discrimination and exploitation…the task of the Church is to protest against unjust laws.

Johan Heyns, 1928-1994

Gosh, you know your argument sucks

When like you, you post several times on the subject of apartheid without being able to back up your lying racist tirades with anything approaching a single supported fact.

Then you laughably claim to have a different standard or kind of historiography from mine!

I can see how the imagination is useful in writing history- to attempt to understand how people thought, what they felt, why they voted for certain things- but your kind of history is rather like a particularly bad Harlequin romance.

[molly bloom]

-Another of Sister Goebbels' selective theological quotes.... -

So apartheid apologist, how about this one :

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians, in case you hadn't recognised it.

Can you tell me what humans are going to evolve into

In your case someone with a familiarity with the truth and facts. Nah, second thoughts, let's leave the speculative fiction alone.

[kentonio]

Can you tell me what humans are going to evolve into and how long that will take?

Please stop being incredibly stupid.

[Hauldren Collider]

The correct response to that is "I'll let you know right after I figure out the world series winners for the next 4,000 years."

[Elok]

Can you tell me what humans are going to evolve into and how long that will take?

I'll have to ask my nephew, but I believe we evolve into "Snorlax." Or possibly "Squirtle." Not sure.

WRT the original post (without having read the whole thread) my wife earns more than twice than me and it suits me just fine thanks

[ricketyclik]

Science requires observations in order to be verified. Do we have an example of a monkey turning into a person? No. Ergo the belief that men evolved from monkeys is simply an article of faith.

Hahahahahahahahaha

I believe that a husband should lay his wife down for his life. I've seen and read about plenty of examples where a husband did just that - laid his life down so that the woman he loved would survive. I've always on some sense believed this is what true love means, long before I ever became a Christian. If I had to sit down and point to a teaching that convinced me that Christ was the real deal - the teaching here that a husband should be willing to die for his wife would be very high on that list.

You can't accuse Ben of being totally reliant on the bible. Early Walt Disney seems to have had an influence too.
