What edition of the NewSpeak Dictionary is your parrot using?

Like most trolls you have a serious problem with projection.

What exactly do you thing "reproductive fitness" is if not a form of eugenics?

Is your parrot in favor of gun control as well as the suppression of knowledge... because “Monsters like Sanger and Hitler” used them for evil purposes?

It wouldn't surprise me at all if you and the other advocates of "reproductive fitness" wanted to restrict Second Amendment rights.

By the way, you just slipped up. Real conservatives talk about Second Amendment rights, trolls like you talk about "gun control". Gotcha.

You’re certainly playing by the liberal playbook, LB.

Through use of projection no less.

I'm sure that "reproductive fitness" goes right along with the "reproductive rights" that Big Murder advocates.

Like most trolls, it’s playing the semantics game.

Change definitions in the middle of discussions, make up definitions to suit yourself, whatever.

At all costs, hide your true agenda with the definition game and if anyone comes close to ripping off the mask, attack them.

>>”reproductive fitness” is if not a form of eugenics?

Reproductive fitness is merely the measurement of a genome’s ability to produce viable offspring. Typically measured over multiple generations.

It could apply to plants as well as animals.

Maybe in your Parrot’s Newspeak Dictionary, Gregor Mendel was a “Eugenicist” when he was measuring viability of (genetic) traits among Pea plants.... but in the real world, he was just a horticultural scientist (and an Augustinian priest) trying to figure out why some plants produced better/more fruit than others.

In other, more modern, words he was measuring Reproductive Fitness of Peas.

All monotheist religions. And I leave Mormonism out of the discussion, just as I do Scientology and followers of “Rev.” Moon.

PS. Hinduism is also a monotheist religion.

Says the pot; who can't admit that not "All teaching and training" fits within the purpose and scope of Christian Doctrine.
 
Generalize much?
 
I'm playing by the American playbook - the one Thomas Jefferson called "The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom".
 
 
Which playbook do you think the Islamofascist "Sharia Law" Religionists will be playing with?  The one religionists are stupidly creating for them by breaching the 1st amendment in Texas and fascilitating a government establishment of religion ala school curriculum?  That play book?
 
Once the wall is breached, it's a simple matter of demographics to transform Texas' "Schools" into Texas Madrasahs - Simple Demographics.
 
 
You think Hispanic illegal immigrants are a problem now?  Wait until they're praying to the East on a carpet and demanding your daughters to cover their face.

>>All monotheist religions.
 
The Êzidî are as monotheistic as Christians or Moslems... with their angels and demons:
"So saying, the Angel Peacock, Melek Taus as we call him, spread his wings and flew away over the inaccessible mountain-tops. That is why we Yezidi, the descendants of that compassionate shepherd, sing hymns to appease and glorify the Spirit of Evil to this very day. Our hymns are scorned by the rest of the world. Both Christians and Muslims alike hate and persecute us. They call us 'Muraddun'-- Infidels and Devil-Worshippers. Our priests, Qawasls, travel secretly and do not wear priestly robes. They carry with them, hidden away from Muslim and Christian eyes, the effigy of a peacock. When we pray, we do not turn towards Mecca like the Muslims but towards the Polar Star, the immovable source of light in darkness, the point of the axis round which the whole universe resolves."

So are the Sabbateans - who are nothing but apostate lemmings who followed a false Jewish messiah off a cliff.
 
I could worship a Pharaoh or a black rock and be "Mono" theistic.   That's no guarantee my moral framework would be universally congruent to other Moon/Sun/Rock-god worshippers.
 
 
There are, however, certain survival instincts which are observable to have a beneficial impact upon one's ability to create multiple generations of viable progeny; traits naturally common among most successful cultures...

[The Declaration of Independence was not the sole work of one man.]
 
Never said it was -  even though its text is inclusive of the same words displayed upon one of the walls of Jefferson's memorial:

 
 
The Document in question was the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom, which Jefferson DID write, and which sheds significant light upon Jefferson's thoughts on the subject of religion.
 
 
 
Got any other red straw you'd like to hoist up the pole?

Of course its in genes. Everything is.

Not everything. Women who are violently raped and get pregnant and have the baby have perfectly normal babies. Adopted kids learn great morals from good adoptive parents.

If genes were everything, we should not let children of criminals free. G-d gives every single person a chance to be good. The sins of the fathers...

>>By the way, you just slipped up.

Guns no more kill people than studying reproductive fitness does.

Hitler Advocated “Gun Control” just like you evidently advocate Knowledge Control, and for much the same reason.

Neither behaviors are indicative of a society whose cornerstone is the premise that “ALMIGHTY GOD HATH CREATED THE MIND FREE”.

You “got” yourself, Idiot.

By monotheistic I mean religions who worship the One Supreme Godhead, which ever name they call Him by. Worshipping a rock, a mountain, or an human created invention, or as in your case, your own pride, does not make a monotheistic religion.

When it comes to Mendel you are playing real fast and loose with the facts. Nothing you said matches with anything about his history or his contributions.

Stopping your evil agenda of "reproductive fitness" IS NOT knowledge control.

So what society are you talking about where is the source for your quote.
