    You continually prove that they have the lowest IQ's.

    I wouldn't say that. While some are pretty clueless others are not. If it were up to the Catholic church we wouldn't have opened up so hastily and would still be heeding tremendous caution.

    That’s absolutely false, I do not pray, and yet, I am very calm. I am a cancer survivor and found meditation and exercise to be very calming.

    I get on your nerves because I challenge your opinions.

    I live a bountiful life and I haven’t believed in a god who answers prayers for over 20 years.

    Nonsense. Atheists in here and everywhere judge others 24/7.

    For Christians...we are to judge a tree by the fruit it bears.
    Matthew 7:15-20
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    What is horrific is believing in a deity who would gleefully toss billions of his creations into eternal hellfire for not following one particular sect that hasn't been around but a tiny fraction of the time that humanity has.

    I finally put Stevie Tweaker on ignore. His diarrhea-like posting indicates someone who is anything but Xtian -- or calm and serene.

    Is that how you excuse lying and libeling public figures? Like accusing Biden of being a pedo with no proof other than you don't like him because of the (D) after his name?

    Your fruit's not looking any too fresh, Sister Stretch. You might want to prune that tree a little, and choose your fertilizer a little better.

    The point that I was driving at is that, religious fanatics tend to be less intelligent and quite often are irrational people.
