Apes, some thousands of years ago, evolved into modern Mankind, then modern Mankind created gods, oodles of them, all over the world.  Not just "One God!" There's the Christian God, Mormon God, Muslim God, Buddha, Pagan Gods ( was one of the choice gods incorporated into Christianity during its formative years long ago) and other gods from all across the world the number I don't claim to know, but many of these gods are claimed by their faithful to be the "One & Only True God!" So, now, we have the never-ending Disputes. Religious Wars, etc.,etc.. 

On this very day, Christians are screaming Persecution and End Times when the basics of Christian religion have never been heretofore proven, just passed on to the faithful as Superstition!  Is Superstition concrete, reliable, factual, scientific information? However, if it works for you, go for it.  

Freedom of religion! And Freedom from religion! Some people call it Secularism! That's what it is! Stop trying to push your religion on others just because you think you can. Gay people were created in the Image of God according to Christians. Why do you think you have the right to call them inferior to you? Why do you have the right to harass them? They are all "Good As You." in the eyes of your own Christian God. ---Al Bratt 12-17-2014

Note: The AFA (Radical Anti-Gay American Family Association aka The "Dark Side" of Tupelo, MS is now promoting Gov. Jindal's Response Event.) 

Last July, Religious Right leaders gathered in Texas to push Perry into the presidential race, hoping the Texas Governor would be the more conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. One month later Perry hosted a prayer rally, The Response, which featured Religious Right leaders like James Dobson, Tony Perkins, Jim Garlow, [Don Wildmon,creator of the "Dark Side" of Tupelo, MS], Penny Nance, David Barton, and John Hagee, along with New Apostolic Reformation figures such as Mike Bickle, Alice Patterson, Doug Stringer, Cindy Jacobs, and John Benefiel.--excerpt posted by Al Bratton, Liberal Tupelo MS Blog, 12-17-2014.

   

Ohio Just Defeated an Extreme Abortion Ban, but Don't Get Too Comfortable | Jennifer Dalven

Ohio Just Defeated an Extreme Abortion Ban, but Don't Get Too Comfortable | Jennifer Dalven


Last week, the Ohio House voted on legislation that was breathtaking in its extremism: It would have banned all abortions after six weeks -- before many women even know they're pregnant.

First the good news: Legislators voted down the bill. That's a real and important victory for women in Ohio, and it does represent some progress. After all, the same legislation passed the House in 2011 before failing in the Senate.

But I'm just not able to get too excited about this. Yes, they defeated the ban, but celebrating the defeat of such an obviously terrible proposal is a hollow victory. While it's certainly good for the women of Ohio that the bill didn't advance, make no mistake about it: Extreme politicians remain fully committed to doing whatever they can to make sure that a woman can't get an abortion when she needs one.

 After their failure in Ohio, and the crushing defeat of similar measures suffered on election night, they might change their approach.

But one thing you can be sure of: They haven't changed their goal.
