Evil Muslim conspiracy...

"Teabagger" is a very insulting sexual reference when applied to members of the Tea Party.And don't bother looking for pictures. A lot of the disgusting signs at those rallies were brought by leftist infiltrators trying to discredit the Tea Party movement.But why does an opposition movement designed to counter the left's ideas bother you so much? Don't like the competition for ideas? Don't like the competition? You guys thought you had the protest field all to yourselves?Reply in a new thread, as this is off-topic here.

With these passages in the bible and other ancient texts, you should start with the premise that it's all nonsense which should be ignored unless and until proved otherwise.This will be "heresy" or "blasphemy" to some, but there really is no use in perpetuating ancient nonsense.We have enough current nonsense to deal with as it is.

As long as we are discussing such matters, opine on this: Prime Minister of Pakistan bows down to extremists on blasphemy law

Islamabad: January 12, 2011. (PCP) Yousaf Raza Gillani, Prime Minister of Pakistan, announced here today that Pakistan Peoples Party PPP government have no intentions to repeal or revise blasphemy law.

​

Talking with reporters PM of Pakistan said that PPP government have already issued policy statement through its Religious Affair Minister Khursheed Shah in parliament that government will not repeal blasphemy law and have disowned private bill submitted by PPP leader Sherry Rehman to amend blasphemy law.

​

Pakistani Prime Minister’s public statement came after Pope Benedict’s annual address to diplomats in Vatican city in which he called on Pakistan government to scrap blasphemy law.

​

The PPP led government is under pressure of Islamic parties protests to not touch blasphemy laws in Pakistan.

​

The government have forgotten the day light murder of a PPP leader and Governor of Punjab Salman Taseer who termed blasphemy laws to be man made and was campaigning to repeal it.

​

Holy Father Pope Benedict had earlier demanded freedom of Asia Bibi who was charged under blasphemy law and sentenced to death on November 8, 2010, by ADSJ of Nankana.

​

When Yousaf Raza Gillani, Prime Minister of Pakistan was denying any change in blasphemy law, the PPP selected and nominated Christian Federal Minister for Minorities Shahbaz Bhatti was commenting in an interview to Adnkronos International (AKI) that controversial blasphemy law must be reformed to prevent bloodletting of Christian and other minorities in Pakistan.

And we can also consider this:

Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated of nothing, "blasphemy" is the most amazing - with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for the second and third place.

The problem seems to be the use of governmental power to enforce religious laws.Perhaps this primitive and anti-rational practice should be banned worldwide.

It's just the liberals, not all Americans.Liberals get certain ideals in their heads and seem to think that those ideals are what's really out there. And they refuse to reevaluate those ideals when they are shown to be inaccurate.
