		<description>From the advocate of women&#039;s rights.  You&#039;re darn right.  You fix the problems with all the reasons behind abortion, and I&#039;ll switch sides.

And don&#039;t have sex isn&#039;t one of them.

		<description>&quot;Keeping religion out of goverment = complete loss of morality and ethical behavior.&quot;

Contrary to your ahistorical rantings, keeping religion out of government was exactly the intent of those who founded this nation (argue what you will about the states, but every state eventually adopted provisions similar to the Bill of Rights).

I&#039;m not going to quote from Madison&#039;s Memorial and Remonstrance (again), and allow types like you to spin and obsfucate the meaning of each passage. Read the whole thing HERE (it&#039;s not long):

&lt;a href=&quot;http://religiousfreedom.lib.virginia.edu/sacred/madison_m&amp;r_1785.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://religiousfreedom.lib.virginia.edu/sacred/madison_m&amp;r_1785.html&lt;/a&gt;

Damn liberal anti-Christian secularist!(the son of a minister, by the way)

		<description>Testicles doesn&#039;t need facts.  Like Bush, he makes up his own.

By the way, libs are also very much for freedom of personal religion- as long as it stays out of government.

		<description>&quot;I say again:&quot;

And of course, saying things over and over again makes them true.

&quot;This hatred of Christmas by secular progressives (i.e. PeeMom) is all part of their agenda to get Christianity and spirituality and Judaism out of the public square.&quot;

Where did Political_Mom say she hated Christmas? I missed that one. It appears you are pulling the old right wing talking points, assigning name to label (liberal), and therefore presume to speak knowledgably about the intentions of others. Such knowledge, however, tends not to exist outside of the individuals who presume to have it. That is, it is not reflected in actual reality.

&quot;Because if you look at what happened in Western Europe and Canada, if you can get religion out, then you can pass secular progressive programs, like legalization of narcotics, euthanasia, abortion at will, gay marriage, because the objection to those things is generally religious-based.&quot;

Yep, that&#039;s it, the secular left wants to get &quot;religion out&quot; so that they can perform their laundry list above. If only we can get rid of religion, we can do what we want. Of course, somehow I always miss those discussions at the secular left secret meetings.

&quot;You have France - or Holland, you have legalized prostitution, you have drugs. All those things come in which religious organizations tend to oppose.&quot;

And longer lives, less children dying, etc. That damn evil secular left.

Ksgolfnut, you are arguing with labels to whom you have preassigned positions, not with what others are actually saying.

		<description>The reason that the proto-gospels (i.e. the gospel of Judas, the gospel of Mary Magadalene) were not included in the first Palestinian Canon was because they were found to be spurious and from authors who were clearly not who they claimed to be. It is the same with Judaism, they too have rejected many ancient Jewish writings on the basis of being spurious and incoherent with the Torah. What does that have to do with anything we are talking about?

		<description>VT,Sure, I know all about that. The Church Fathers compiled the books of the Bible in the 4th century A.D. but that does not mean that the Church Fathers actually composed the writings of the either the Old or New Testament which is what I thought Peemom was getting at.

		<description>VT is right, the Catholics did decide what books to put in the bible.  And notice that every bible from Protestants followed suit, as with every dang holiday.

The old testament was Jewish, but maybe Erik can help me out with that- Is the Torrah exactly the same as the old testament?

		<description>Well, actually X, the Roman Catholic Church determined sometime in the 4th century C.E. the makeup of the canon, which became the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible, as we now know it. Perhaps this is to what P-Mom was referring. I think (help me out, oh those with more history than I can currently muster) this was at the Council of Nicea; it was at some Council, around ca. 325-350 C.E.

		<description>This is so stupid. You know what these lawmakers are fighting over? They&#039;re fighting over an offshoot tradition from a Catholic holiday. Yes Christmas is a Catholic holiday (as are all the Christian holidays) and they are fighting in court about a tradition upheld by Protestant separatists who wanted to keep the secular practices of Christmas, despite the fact that in the Bible there is a passage which states distinctly to never observe holy days.
