Islam has a much harsher tenent than christianity, or is this just a bash-thread?
Am I surprised that the mods haven't placed this in RANT yet?
Where's the "rant"? It's simply scientific and empirical data which shows that the Christian Right has the absolutely dead wrong approach to preventing teen pregnancy and abortion.
How is that not "political madness" given the fervor which people refuse to accept reality??

Christians just want to control people. That's all religion is about; control.
Wrong. Christianity is all about choices, love, and respect of yourself, God, and others.
Cool. Then I take it you are pro-choice on abortion and think it's abhorrent that the Catholic Church would attempt to prevent it's employees from receiving medication which their DOCTORS prescribed, right?

Yes you can go to Amsterdam and buy a 14 year old "child" to have sex with.
Prove that i'am wrong.

Just wait until the next big incurable STD mutates and starts spreading. A long hibernation type that takes a year or so before the first ones start showing the symptoms. It may hide out in the immune system or something until it matures and goes full tilt. Before they know that there is a problem, half of the population will already have it.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but it's not just "Hard-Core Christian Right Conservatives" who don't allow their teenaged children to "shack up" with their boyfriends/girlfriends- especially in their own house!
I know many people of all political leanings and all belief/non-belief systems and NONE of them allow their kids to have sex in their homes. Insinuating that it's a "Right Wing Christian" thing only is ridiculous!

Perhaps, but I don't need religion to tell me that promoting teenage sex is piss poor parenting. It is irresponsible and disgusting...and I don't care what a YouTube video says about the Netherlands and their teenage sex culture.

Refusing to set expectations of your children is paramount to condoning.

remember all those t.v. shows that had a least one episode of a teenager getting pregnant, and the parents would tell her that her life is ruined, her future destroyed etc. and abortion was the only solution to happiness and success.
nice message. i think satan himself wrote that script and gave himself best original screenplay.
that was the message: get pregnant, life ruined, abortion solution.
not have baby, grandparents help raise kid, daughter works hard to go to university, gets good job to support herself and her baby independently, raises daughter and daughter cries when she see's daughter graduate university. roll credits.
love, family, compassion, helping each other out, overcoming lifes detours, are the marks of a Christian, not abortion clinics.

Ummm...no...it isn't. LOL. Here is your link.

Sorry, but it absolutely is legal. Ex Merchant Marine and Navy and I know it goes on. And I don't need no link to prove what I have seen with my own eyes.
n the entire U.S., there may be 10 safe houses and between 50 and 200 beds for victims of domestic trafficking, though statistics are anecdotal.
SAFE HAVENS In this respect the Netherlands is streets ahead. Prostitute trafficking there has become a middle class problem, and the middle class has political sway. As a result, regional governments pay for dozens of shelters across the Netherlands. These shelters began as homes for victims of international trafficking and domestic violence. Today they cater increasingly to Dutch children, victims aged 11 plus. Shelters are purposely located far from home, mainly in the north of the country and even in France and Spain. Most are secure. “Here the brain-washed girls are de-programmed” says Marianne Van Thoren, a social worker from Rotterdam. They catch up with lost schooling and receive trauma counseling. But there’s a long waiting list, and some girls end up in detention centers. Eleina says she might have been one of them if not for Stoploverboys.nu, a small NGO funded mainly by concerned parents

What a wonderful socialist utopia we could have if we just turned over all the power to the government.
See this is what happens when everyone calls liberalism "socialism". You get people who really do think it's socialism, and it is a disservice to what socialism actually is.
Liberalism killed socialism, and modern socialism (post 1840's) is not utopian. Utopian socialism was a different movement than modern socialism, led by people like Robert Owen, that came before industrialization. In fact Marx and Engels used the term communism to differentiate their socialist movement from the Utopian Socialists that came before them.

Good thing you did not report it then since the police over there would have been very interested in your "evidence".

No it isn't. The Christian God is tyrannical and has committed genocide in the OT. The new testament message is accept Jesus or go to hell. It tells you how to live, what is "sin" or not.
It is a totalitarian religion.

Incorrect. Data suggests that it's far healthier and more responsible.
Oh...and the data doesn't come from "youtube"...that's just the method of broadcast. The data comes from UNICEF.

So if people just wanna sleep with whomever they choose, why not just say Im going to sleep with whomever I choose? You can do that, and act on it. There is no law in the US that says you can't (with the exception of uh, you know child abuse,rape and sick evil stuff like that). Why blame christians or conservatives? Im both and look at this.
I don't think we have any business telling anyone where to put their parts, NOR telling parents how to raise their children. Am I a right wing religious nut?
If you ask me op, Id question right wing christians on why in a red state they allow their kids to be chipped.edit on 9-12-2012 by Nephalim because: (no reason given)
