Bill Clinton, for one, has opposed the tax cuts even though his income is such that he would benefit from them. Is there also a vast conspiracy of rich liberals to pass laws that hurt themselves?
​
I think Clinton would argue that his opposition to the tax cuts is because he wants to see a better society for his children and grandchildren. But can't it be that the fundamentalists would make a comparable argument. Isn't it just that there is a strong difference in opinion as to what makes for a better society.

Re: Perhaps
Perhaps the fundamentalists believe that society needs a master class and a slave class - that would be consistant with Biblical teachings.
No, I'm sure they don't believe that.
​
Just find it hard to believe that an entire group is voluntarily setting themselves up to be the slave class.
For the most part, these are highly gullible people. They have been befuddled by a sophisticated intellectual scam, and have been conned into joining an absurd 20th century cult.

Re: Starting a new thread
I think nuggin was referring to Is Gay Marriage Immoral?, which has not yet now been approved.
