Same-Sex Marriage is Sooo Evil
A new add from the folks over at the National Organization for Marriage shows confused kids that apparently weren’t taught by their parents about the different kids of folks in the world; you know, those people that happen to be attracted to the same-sex and want to consecrate their relationship in marriage like any other couple might.
Prepare to gag.
One of the kids say “God created Adam and Eve? That’s so old-fashioned.” Thank you little girl, for speaking the truth.
In North America, we have advanced from the days of demonizing gay people, to where they can live their lives how they choose without the threat of violence. Unfortunately there are still people out there that want to force gay people to adhere to their religious beliefs, we still have growing to do.
Religion + Law = Torture
What do you get when you mix Sharia religous law with government rulers? Human torture.
Mohamed Omar Ismael stole $90 from a saving account, local reports said.
Mohamed was sentenced to the amputation of his right-hand, and the punishment was carried out in public in the city center where a large crowd of people watched on as Islamists carried out the sentence.
Al Shabab, a Muslim group in Somalia has instituted the religious law to be carried out in this region.
Under strict Sharia law, theft is sentenced by severing their hand. The death penalty is meted out for murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy and drug trafficking.
Apostasy?! Apostasy is the rejection of one’s own religion. So under this Muslim, faith based law, the punishment for renouncing your faith is DEATH.
This seems to be a good reason to keep church and state seperate, in ALL cases.
Less People Going to Church
A new report says that more and more young people are abandoning the faith of their parents, and faith all together.
Historically, the percentage of Americans who said they had no religious affiliation (pollsters refer to this group as the “nones”) has been very small — hovering between 5 percent and 10 percent. However, Putnam says the percentage of “nones” has now skyrocketed to between 30 percent and 40 percent among younger Americans.
While this doesn’t necessarily mean that are becoming agnostic or atheist, it does reflect the trend in the last 20 years to the politicizing of religion, and the rejection of that movement by young people.
The less people blindly adhering to dogma the better.
