strange how many if not most of the yes campaigners also push the gw fantasy/fraud. Among them seems to be the Hollywood moralisers. Their little secrets are very much on par with many of the catholic priests that have been disgraced. Only difference is that feminist/marxist that have covered up these guys for years are not displaying the same hatred for their own.

I cannot inderstand the need for anyone to announce that they are atheists. They have no more proof that there is no God than those who believe in God have proof that there is. I don't think anyone else cares, so why not shut up about it? There are no marks given to believers or non-believers, and it's a private matter anyway.

Now, back to the topic. The next big thing after SSM will be transgenderism. An Adelaide shrink has opined that it will be considered "in the spectrum of normality" in time. Anyone know of an island up for sale?

Nope, it'll be xenophobia. It is in the nature of the left to oppose traditional mores. Tolerance and respect for your fellow man are becoming so widespread and entrenched that in short order they will be the traditional values to which progressives stand opposed, at which point they'll embrace xenophobia. So that should make you happy.

There are quite a few transgender websites online, so perhaps it is 'normal' already.

Apparently the thing is based on "self-creation". People who "refuse to be bound by biology". It doesn't get much crazier than that in my book. There is an "elite movement" teaching new generations that gender is "whatever the choosing individual wants it to be". (Rod Deher). But we already know that from the maniacs in Australian education departments.

As the above author says, these creeps now "own the culture" as surely as the "Ostrogoths', Visogoths, Vandals and other conquering peoples owned the remains of the Western Roman Empire".

It always comes back to end of Western civilisation as per the fall of the Roman Empire.

' Nope, it'll be xenophobia.' wasn't the case at Sodom and Gommorah.

Joe,

Yes, the belief in gods had a beneficial evolutionary role, but it has mostly outgrown that now and become more of a hindrance than anything else.

And, yes, some tenets of religions have helped to provide divine authority to the ideas of some of our more enlightened thinkers of the past, when such authority was required in more superstitious times. But they did this by accident or because the thinkers of the past new how to cherry-pick, so please forgive me if I don’t sit here heaping praise on religion.

Given how major a role religion played in societies and the lives of individuals throughout the past, it would be astonishing and utterly improbable if nothing good had come from it.

ttbn,

Atheists don’t need evidence. Atheism is the default position. It is those who claim that a god exists who bear the burden of proof. Even you would refer to yourself as an atheist, before you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=6644#99187
