"MORALITY" HAS NOT BEEN THE RULE

We imagine the Victorian Era and strict mores and all that. That's an illusion of course. Do you want to listen to your parents and grandparents and others (if they're honest)? My parents did not have the strict morals that Christian Conservativies want to say was the property of that generation.... Sign in to see full entry.

SO WHAT IS MORALITY ANYWAY?

President Bush was relected in part on the grounds that he supports traditional morality. I can open a can of worms here and question "traditional morality", and I will. Let's get this straight first: "morality" means: 1. no sex outside of marriage. 2. no homosexuality is there anything else? Our... Sign in to see full entry.

PRAYER IN SCHOOLS IS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY

People can pray at home. They can pray however and whenever they want to pray. Parents can lead prayers around the breakfast table. There is no need for prayer in schools. Since everyone in essence believes and prays differently, then we have to assume that in any classroom there are at least 20... Sign in to see full entry.

what is morality anyway?

Christian Rightists (CR's for short) will give us a definition of "morality" which is not necessarily the same for those outside the CR's paradigm for living. For instance, they continue to contend that homosexuality is immoral. This in the face of the biological sciences that tell us that it is as... Sign in to see full entry.

YOU CAN'T EAT MORALITY

Christian rightists are elated over bush being elected, particularly because he ran on issues of morality and such while Kerry ran on plans to get out of Iraq and to change the economy. This morality is not a universally agreed on view of morality. First and foremost is the issue of gay marriage.... Sign in to see full entry.

There are Christian conservatives and fundamentalists, among them Blogit bloggers, that also say that Bush is God's spokesperson. First -- this scares the living daylights out of me that such can be... Sign in to see full entry.

RELIGIOUS CONSERVATIVISM RUNNING RAMPANT ON BLOGIT!! without enough sane voices like Evangeline's to demonstrate exactly where they are wrong. Was she too correct?
