Would you have the …
Would you have the same kind of respect for someone who thought the earth was flat or that he could fly? Why are religious claims exempt from being ridiculed?

@Jowind im not …
@Jowind im not religious, but man, thats a little too insulting.

no matter how ridiculous a religion can be, having that respect for the people who believe in it and leaving them be is what makes you the bigger person.

thats why zimmerman makes sense. he’s telling us about respect. respect for the couples who want to get married and that its not our business what they do in their lives.

so when people try to control these things, they get their butt kicked by roy.

This is pretty off topic, but I’ve been thinking:

What’s more likely: Mother Mary was impregnated by the spirit of God in the Immaculate Conception, thereby producing the heir to the throne of God and Heaven’s representative of goodness on Earth, Jesus Christ…

Some other dude had his way with Mary and she tried to cover it up by calling it divine intervention?

Just a thought.

So easily fixed!
Registered partnership, answerable to the law with regards to the benefits and non-benefits of marriage as we know today, like the laws for inheritance, separation, tax-benefits etc. THEN anybody can perform whatever ritual they desire according to whatever god-myth they prefer.
Separation of church and state FTW!!!
p.s.
Keep creationism out of the science class.
It belongs in religious studies.

You’re absolutely …
You’re absolutely right about respecting the choices that others make. But what if the choices that others make, derived from their beliefs, preclude others from the freedom to choose? The religious right justify oppressing freedoms to people, as expressed in the video, by banking on the the divinity of Jesus.

Beliefs are useless if they aren’t challenged. If they are off-limits to external influences, then they are static mindtraps. Learning happens only when one’s beliefs are challenged.
