US ambassador killed over a film

I've always found it ironic that the GOP wants less government, but yet they want to tell people who they can and cannot marry, what a woman can do with her body and what she can't, force their religious doctrine on people by having ID taught in science classes, make young black kids to be janitors at their schools, and now they are mingling with companies to get them to force their employees to vote GOP or else (since after all, corporations are people in their eyes).....pretty hypocritical if you ask me.

As far as the whole science vs. religion debate goes, science does NOT have to disprove the existence of a God....the burden of proof is on people of faith to prove their deity. And thus far, they have been unable to do so. You can be a religious scientist, but keep that shit separate. The minute you converge them, your scientific credentials come under question.

I find myself agreeing with you (for the most part) again... This is almost a habit about some things.

I agree 100% with the first paragraph, and I think it speaks volumes to the... "coup" that has happened in the Republican Party. There are a lot of "Governmental" issues that I agree 100% with Republicans about. There are some other things that I'm very Liberal about (Social Services type things for example) as well.

The second paragraph, I simply say this. As long as Science isn't actively going out of their way to take a dump on Faith, I agree. Explain things that "religion got wrong", (literal creationism, etc..) is fine, but if science is going to step in and say "THERE IS NO GOD" well, then at that point, they have a burden of proof as well.

And the lack of "proof" that there is, doesn't mean that there "isn't". I mean, there was a time when we lacked the proof of what science has gone on to prove. That's what science is about.

Finding something. Organizing the information. Testing. Proving.
