Religious Orgs & Contraception Woes

Organization and companies with a religious orientation should have no say in what options are available for contraception in the insurance programs they offer.

It would be similar to companies and organizations being able to tell you what you can or cannot spend your salary on.

Imagine this:

Notre-Dame pays you a salary as an employee.

You value the quality of food you put in your body, so you want to shop for only organic produce.

But, because Notre-Dame doesn’t believe in organic food, they tell you that you can’t spend any of your salary on organic food and can only purchase non-organics.

It seems ridiculous, but this is exactly the kind of exception they are asking for by believing they can restrict what their employees health insurance can cover.

Disclaimer: This is a general analogy. There may be minor differences in the situation but the comparison is the same.

Creationism is bad science

To sum

  • It’s scientifically unsound - i.e. it’s not science
  • It’s theologically unsound - who the fuck cares
  • It’s bad for business - real science = real education
  • It’s unconstitutional - creationism is religion not science, religion does not belong in public education

In sum… someone should expel these idiots from their state senate and replace them with intelligent life.

religion stems from the uniquely human and narcissistic desire to believe that the universe was created for our benefit. News flash: it wasn’t. Science tells us that we are incidental and accidental. Not surprisingly, this thought makes some people uncomfortable. The point of science isn’t to make people comfortable though, it’s to discover truth.

I.e. guys like Mitt Romney belong in that group.

Mitt Romney grew reflective when asked about God and government at a town hall in Iowa Friday.

A man asked the GOP candidate about the role of religion in American society.

“I know there are some people who would like to make this nation a secular nation, who want to take God out of…

On basic questions of morality and human decency — issues such as governmental use of torture, the death penalty, punitive hitting of children, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, environmental degradation or human rights — the irreligious tend to be more ethical than their religious peers, particularly compared with those who describe themselves as very religious.
