Any person who holds up Nietzsche as some sort of expert on morality, deserves to be ignored. She obviously believes that Christianity is a curse.

We must forgive Maureen. She hasn't been the same since Michael Douglas removed the feeding tube.

The results would still be the same. Only DeBakey has any credibility in this case, and he would have been the only vote in favor of the surgery.

It is amazing. It wasn't too long ago that real liberals fought side-by-side with Christian leaders...who led the fight for much of the "progress" in this country. Wether it was slavery, civil rights, labor, education or healthcare...it was often the Church that led the way. From our first schools, to hospitals, to daycares and even Headstart...to shelters for women and homeless missions for men...it was the Church, often with support from the government, that ran these institutions. Yet, even with this much closer alliance, we never became a Theocracy.

Unfortunately, (IMO) Marxism and socialism has so infected the Left, that they now view religion as an impediment to the very control they want to impose through the State. These people view government as the highest authority in our lives...and since religious people have a higher authority in theirs, it is necessary for the left to destroy this allegiance. The "opiate of the masses has never been religion;" it's been government...as it literally acts as an opiate and creates a deadly dependence from which some can never withdrawal.

What a country this America. Morons like this can get big-bucks for spouting nonsense.

You're exactly right. And I don't care to live in a country that has forgotten God. But I don't intend to leave either. So the only thing to do is to stay and fight and make sure the Dowd's of this world do not prevail.
