>>Should they be forced to pay taxes to have beliefs diametrically opposed to their own taught? Were the opposite thing taught, do you think you should be taxed to fund it?<<

Should pacifists have to fund the Department of Defense?

If you are opposed to the death penalty, should you have to pay taxes that go to support execution?

What about vegetarians? Should they have to fund USDA meat inspection?

I guess if it's not in the bible, you don't care about accuracy.

Do you know what a pharisee - hypocrite is really like --- self righteous - MAD about other's people behavior when their own is trivia oriented and mega abomination - ABUSE !

Fits your NAZI brown shirt crowd exactly !

There's another thread on this, and they've explored the full ramifications: deducting Playboy on Schedule A, carpal tunnel, going to Thailand for 'medical treatment', you know, the kind of sober, thorough consideration of the issues you expect from a conservative news forum :-).

You might even say they've beaten it to death.

That, sir, is a polarizing statement.

Not to mention it is an act of "Hemispherical Elitism".....

LOL, I just couldn't resist, and I will probably read that thread later, but I have to get to work.

Ahh, and I see that it is 2:30 PST and the troller is on right on schedule.

OK, that ends a nice calm discussion for today, talk to you all tomorrow on this thread then.

Unless someone comes up with a really good post to respond to, of course this does NOT count the VI crowd, and they know who they are.

Gentlemen: The trolls are revving up for another evening of what they do best -- disruptive idiocy. Let's all see to it that they end up playing only with themselves. (There's a thread that says it's healthy for them.)

how evos thinks:

Harvard Genetics Professor Richard Lewontin, a Marxist expressed his attitude in the followings (Johnson, 1997):

We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counterintuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute.
