Gary Johnson on abortion

[jmdrake]

many of us are old, and don't find mythology entertaining anymore.

And this all helps Ron Paul or Gary Johnson get elected how exactly?

You say that even though Nate uses facts to prove his point. There's a lot of Christian scientists out there who defend intelligent design based on scientific principles.

You don't have to believe something or find something entertaining to be respectful of other people's beliefs. But then I don't expect everyone to be a decent person who is capable of displaying maturity, most people are pretty immature and never grow out of their teens.

I don't believe in any religion either, but I do find them all fascinating. Even if I didn't enjoy learning about them, I'd still be respect of people's beliefs.

would you have a serious conversation with someone who tells you he is doing something because Santa said it will get him presents?

There isn't any scientific proof or logic for why Santa would exist. Try again.

I consider myself relatively open minded and respectful of varying views, so yes I would have a serious conversation with pretty much anyone about anything. Of course you don't need to be open minded about things to be respectful. You can believe someone's views foolish but you can keep it to yourself instead of being an ass about it and making fun of them.

If by "electable" you mean that the person can be elected to public office, then I really don't care. It isn't about winning public office to me anymore; it is about confronting the anti-Christian society we live in today.

You admit that you do not care who wins public office, and that you have come on this forum to confront the "anti-Christian society". When you "confront" somebody, they will respond accordingly. Are you trying to change, or win the hearts and minds of the "anti-Christian society"? Why would you care what they think? Aren't you comfortable in your belief system?

I'm sorry, but Christians make no sense to me. I like Jesus, but his followers seem to misinterpret his message, which was about love.

making fun of people often helps them see that they are wrong. it's actually one of the most effective ways. when reasoning fails, trying humor is the best thing you can do.

when you make fun of someone, they will be offended only if there is some part of what you say that they figure out is true. that will encourage them to question their irrational beliefs.

lol!

You won't be laughing if you end up in hell, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. I don't want anybody to have to go there.

Or you could just piss them off and look like an ass. Real effective way of "teaching". And why the heck would you care about trying to "convert" someone away from their religious beliefs. Let people believe what they want to believe.

Of course this can be equally true of any religious person who tries to change someone who is unreceptive to changing their views and starts making fun of their beliefs as well.

why would you want to convert people to support freedom and Ron Paul? let them believe what they believe.

when you talk to people, don't ever give a suggestion or indication of what you believe. that might encourage them to consider your point of view. but that's wrong, you should let them believe what they believe.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with religion. Religious belief doesn't affect you.

Besides I am not going to make fun of them and act all superior just because their political views differ from my own. I more just talk with them about politics, get them research for themselves, give some guidance and over time, they become more receptive. If I just run in and laugh and call them an idiot, they're going to just be turned off.

every form of irrationality affects you. people have justified heinous crimes with religion. of course it affects you. and even if they don't affect you, it's good to help people get rid of irrationality, because it's good for them. and it's not like you're forcing them, in the end they can believe whatever they want.

The funny thing is that if you're right and I'm wrong, we'll never even know because we would just be blacked out as soon as we die. But if I'm right and you're wrong, you're going to be in a world of hurt. There's no need for you to take a chance on that.

It's funny that all of the people here who hate Christianity still defend Muslims every chance they get. Interesting.
