Yes, religion relies on brainwashing and indoctrination of children, which is a form of child abuse.

Without indoctrination of children before they develop critical thinking skills -

Before they can even reliably detect blatant sarcasm*

Before they even know that Santa Clause and the tooth-fairy aren't real. That alone tells you how sick it is to indoctrinate them.

FortWayne says

You are looking at all those phrases without understanding the meaning, not meant to be taken literally. There is a special meaning behind all those sayings and phrases.

The meaning is that all religious leaders are scumbag warlords who use fear and violence to ensure that their base of power isn't threatened by either rational thought or other religions. That's why religions are always warring.

Dan8267 says

Again, I've justified why our ban on the mentally incompetent should include religious delusions,

Oh yeah! The Commies were big fans of persecuting the religious and declaring their political/ideological enemies insane to be locked up. Never go full Commie Dan. It makes you look really really dumb.

How well has it worked out for Western countries that use the power of the State to target and persecute religious groups? Which country has this worked out for?

You should spend less time wetting your pants over the private beliefs of religious people and spend more time working on reigning in your totalitarian impulses and bigotry.

You realize that Homosexuality was considered a mental disorder until the 1970s in the US, and disqualified you from a host of things, including a Security Clearance?

Here's one for you:

In 1972, a Tacoma, Washington teacher of twelve years with a perfect record was terminated after a former student outed him to the vice-principal. The Washington Supreme Court found that homosexuality was immoral and impaired his efficiency as a teacher. The court supported its conclusion in various ways, including the definition of homosexuality in the New Catholic Encyclopedia, the criminal nature of homosexual conduct, and finding that an "immoral" person could not be trusted to instruct students as his presence would be inherently disruptive. On October 3, 1977, the United States Supreme Court denied certiorari, although Justices Brennan and Marshall would have granted cert. This was the first homosexual discrimination decision to be aired on national network news. In fact, it was simultaneously aired on all three national network evening news shows, reaching approximately 60 million viewers

And yes, wikipedia because I can't be arsed, follow the footnotes.

Did you know that homosexuality is still a mental disorder in the Ukraine? That Homosexuals can't donate blood? That few attacks on Gays are investigated, much less punished? That at the 2013 Gay Pride march, Metropolitan Filaret of the Fake Orthodox Church and Archbishop Shevchuk of the Uniate Church called homosexuality a sin akin to Manslaughter and protested against any further decriminalization of Homosexuality?

That Klitchko banned a gay pride rally in May 2014?

Did you know that most Eastern European countries have banned Gay Marriage Constitutionally - except Russia?

No, of course not. That wouldn't be on hyperinterventionist Rah-rah Fox or CNN.

I would love to have been able to introduce you to one of my great uncles who was a Catholic Priest (Jesuit) and a published geneticist. He did ground breaking work back in the 1960's (even before Vatican II) and could talk circles around your feeble hateful mind in terms of science, philosophy and law.

A Catholic priest and a scientist is as compatible as oil and water. I doubt he ever proved the world was 6,000 years old, nor could he have come up sensible arguments against evolution. Any scientist who believes the earth is 6,000 years old is a wacko who needs meds.

I have a problem with your assertion that oil and water are not compatible.
There are many married couples who sleep in separate rooms. They are compatible, as they live in the same house together.

The history of Dixiecrats is the history of the Repubilcan Party and reflects the vile values of today's Republicans.

Today's Democrats come from the Northern Democratic Party, not the Southern Democratic Party.

Yes, back when the American South was all Democrats, the Democratic Party was evil precisely because it was composed of people from the American South. It's really the American South that is evil and has always been. The American South
- were slavers
- raped child slaves
- committed treason to maintain slavery
- lost the Civil War, but still is fighting it
- started the quintessential terrorist organization in American history, the Klu Klux Klan
- lynched black families for 100 years
- defied the law when segregation was made illegal
- Unconstitutionally opposed interracial marriage
- Unconstitutionally opposed same sex marriage

It's not a shock that the descendants of slavers are scumbags just like their ancestors were when the American South has long harbored a culture that is basically like the one ISIS is trying to establish. If the people of the American South want to no longer be viewed as barbaric bigots with low intelligence and high inbreeding then they need to divorce themselves from the culture and vile values of their ancestors, plain and simple. As long as the South glorifies its evil past, the South will rightfully be perceived as barbarians. The reason that modern Germans are viewed as Nazis is that Germans don't glorify Nazi Germany or propose that Nazi values be the values of the modern state. If they did, the Germans would still be viewed as Nazis.

If the South doesn't want to be ashamed of the sins of its past, it must stop committing those sins and related ones.

Strategist says

Noticed that Dan can't dispute that it was religious groups (the people he thinks are insane and shouldn't be able to vote) were the main force behind the Abolition movement to end slavery.

Also noticed that Dan can't dispute that it was Northern Progressive who were behind the Eugenics genocide of the early 20th century........and still are big fans with their support of aborting babies, the majority of who are black or poor.

Simply put, Northern Democrats with their love of Eugenics and Abortion have done more to destroy black lives than all Democrat slavers combined.

I am not talking about Stalin. I am talking about American Progressives of the early 20th Century. Margaret Sanger for example.

"Progressive genocide"

http://www.salon.com/2006/03/04/bruinius/

Talk about pulling things out of your ass. Margaret Sanger was a champion of birth control not eugenics. She condoned eugenics, not at all the same thing. I've read her autobiography. She was against abortion, Find one thing Sanger wrote that targeted blacks. She was invited by black leaders like James H. Hubert to help with educating blacks about birth control. Black ministers and leaders praised her repeatedly.

Blacks weren't targeted for eugenics either, low iq people were. Eugenics didn't liquidate anyone, people were sterilized. California had the most, something like 40% of all sterilzations were in CA. Any actual facts on what percentage were black you would like to share? I won't holding my breath waiting for any. Yet another right wingnut living a fact free life.

bob2356 says

Talk about pulling things out of your ass. Margaret Sanger was a champion of birth control not eugenics. She condoned eugenics, not at all the same thing.

She did more than just "condone" eugenics.

"Her own words and television appearances leave no room for parsing. For example, she wrote many articles about eugenics in the journal she founded in 1917, the Birth Control Review. Her articles included “Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics” (June 1920), “The Eugenic Conscience” (February 1921), “The Purpose of Eugenics” (December 1924), “Birth Control and Positive Eugenics” (July 1925) and “Birth Control: The True Eugenics” (August 1928), to name a few."

bob2356 says

Find one thing Sanger wrote that targeted blacks. She was invited by black leaders like James H. Hubert to help with educating blacks about birth control. Black ministers and leaders praised her repeatedly.

"In a letter to Clarence Gable in 1939, Sanger wrote: “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members” (Margaret Sanger commenting on the ‘Negro Project’ in a letter to Gamble, Dec. 10, 1939)."

"She even presented at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1926 in Silver Lake, N.J. She recounted this event in her autobiography: “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan … I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses … I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak … In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered” (Margaret Sanger, “An Autobiography,” Page 366). That she generated enthusiasm among some of America’s leading racists says something about the content and tone of her remarks."

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger

NC was the most aggressive in sterilizing, almost every request brought before it's Board was approved.

The Harrimans and Averells and Kellogs were key in financing eugenics societies. All three families can from theological and commerical backgrounds, with Kellogg founding a Missionary College. Harriman's father was a wealthy man and a Pastor.

Forced Sterilization is one of the least known aspects of American History. Despite Margaret Sanger, the vanguard was mostly WASP conservatives, with Protestant Preachers taking a particular interest.

By the way, sterilization as a must for welfare benefits (say after the 2nd out of wedlock birth, and having 2 kids already you can't afford is plenty of Reproductive Right excercised as it is), and forced sterilization of Schizophrenics and others may not be so bad. Somebody who wears aluminum foil on their head is not in a position to really decide to have kids, or raise them.

Conservatives of course, ignore the huge role of Wealthy 1%er families and Ethno-Religious makeup of those pushing Forced Sterilization and Eugenics generally, instead focusing only on Sanger because she pushed for birth control and abortion. The date of which states approved Eugenics matches up well with the highest Klan member states.

In fairness to North Carolina:
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article9068186.html

Many of these sterilizations are at the request of parents, whose kids are truly mentally ill or handicapped and have been assaulted previously or will never have the judgement to avoid being abused, and by parents who want to stop having kids. Most of this is prior to the Pill.

I don't think unborn babies is a "problem" to be managed. I think life is a blessing. That is the fundamental difference between people like me and you.

The soon to be 9 billion people on the planet is a real problem. All those abandoned babies that no one wants to adopt is a real problem. The fathers who ejaculate and leave is a real problem. If you can't care for a child, it's best not to have a child.
By the way, an unborn baby in the first trimester is a fetus, not a baby.

While there were some Progressives who worried about Poverty and the Human Condition, most of the Eugenicists were worried about Master Racial Purity. The Nazis were no progressives, whatever HL Hunt and Jonah Goldberg may say. Charles Davenport ran Cold Spring Habor Laboratory and was avid about controlling "Inbreds" and the "Racially Inferior", like the Italians, who are given to outbursts of Irrational Behavior. He also considered FDR to be a typical physical handicapped person whose condition moved him towards "Dictatorial Powers".

Yep. It's ridiculous you need a license to drive a car or serve liquor or own a pet in many places, but any fuckhead can reproduce and force society to make up for his/her irresponsibility.

Actually, I can. Christianity was used as a justification for slavery. Both the Old and New Testaments are very pro-slavery. The only times the Bible mentions slavery is to support it.

Now how many of the slavers were atheists? Zero. What percentage of atheists were against slavery? 100%. Sure, there were more religious nuts in the 19th century than today, but that doesn't make them more moral, just more plentiful.

If everyone were an atheist in 1860, slavery would have been abolished without a Civil War. The truly moral person does what is right, not out of delusional fear of a fictional dictator or greed for eternal life, but simply because it is the right thing to do. Christians seem incapable of understanding that.

She spoke about birth control. She spoke to many groups of all types. Why did you leave out so much of what she said? I have the book, here is the full quote.

"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing. My letter of instruction told me what train to take, to walk from the station two blocks straight ahead, then two to the left. I would see a sedan parked in front of a restaurant. If I wished I could have ten minutes for a cup of coffee or bite to eat, because no supper would be served later. I obeyed orders implicitly, walked the blocks, saw the car, found the restaurant, went in and ordered some cocoa, stayed my allotted ten minutes, then approached the car hesitatingly and spoke to the driver. I received no reply. She might have been totally deaf as far as I was 1 concerned. Mustering up my courage, I climbed in and settled back. Without a turn of the head, a smile, or a word to let me know I was right, she stepped on the self-starter. For fifteen minutes we wound around the streets. It must have been towards six in the afternoon. We took this lonely lane and that through the woods, and an hour later pulled up in a vacant space near a body of water beside a large, unpainted, barnish building. My driver got out, talked with several other women, then said to me severely, "Wait here. We will come for you." She disappeared. More cars buzzed up the dusty road into the parking place. Occasionally men dropped wives who walked hurriedly and silently within. This went on mystically until night closed down and I was alone in the dark. A few gleams came through chinks in the window curtains. Even though it was May, I grew chillier and chillier. After three hours I was summoned at last and entered a bright corridor filled with wraps. As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak. Never before had I looked into a sea of faces like these. I was sure that if I uttered one word, such as abortion, outside the usual vocabulary of these women they would go off into hysteria. And so my address that night had to be in the most elementary terms, as though I were trying to make children understand. In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York. Under a curfew law everything in Silver Lake shut at nine o'clock. I could not even send a telegram to let my family know whether I had been thrown in the river or was being held incommunicado. It was nearly one before I reached Trenton, and I spent the night in a hotel."

Pretty amazing someone that was a racist advocating black genocide was invited to work with so many black groups. Not just speak, involved in the groups. I'm sure your other quote is just as badly out of context and misquoted.

The Bible clearly states the price of a slave, and how a slave should be treated. Nowhere does it say you should not have slaves. Even the 10 Commandments does not talk about freeing the slaves. Our secular constitution is far more moral than the Bible.
