Exactly. My belief is that it's wrong though. And I don't think we should be able to endorse something which does great harm to others, which brings us back to the immigration issue. If we disallow migrants just because "the Australians didn't want them" (including asylum seekers) then I think...

That's what Galapagos said. I would say it's because children are naive and easily exploitable, especially given they are compelled to the "confession box" by their religion.

Isn't a democracy run by the people, for the people? If the majority of people want something then common sense says when should have it. There are some arguable exceptions (lets way we wanted to endorse pedophilia for example). We can't really do that even if the people wanted to, in my opinion.

No but they do take an vow of celibacy. They are more likely to break it with children. That is what Galapagos is saying. He's not saying they "break their vow of celibacy with children". That doesn't make sense. You are implying the quote is "break their vow of [celibacy with children]", when...

This pretty much sums it up.

Have they always been embedded in posts and slapped in the middle of threads?

(Mods, feel free to move this if it's in the wrong section). But yeah, do we suddenly have a heap more ads of late? Why is this?

Title speaks for thread. Strong sense of identity. Someone who knows who they are.

I believe in a free market, so a certain degree. I believe in a business's right to conduct itself however it needs. I am also anti-anti-migrant (for migration). I don't support capitalist greed but I do support a free market to an extent.

Why did you delete that post? "Atheists are annoying"? My God, I can't believe something like that exists. I'll happily argue that with you outside this thread.

I see merit to the OP and I agree with it's premise. I may have been overgeneralising and maybe I was out of line. I am not "turning around on my statements". I'm changing my mind because I have been adequately logically convinced by others in this thread. This. My attack on religion may have...

Correlation does not imply causation.

I've known about Richard Dawkins for a long time. I never liked him though for a long time. My parents are atheists. I find it insulting that you are implying my beliefs are naive and recycled from other people's views, such as Dawkins. Edgy atheist? If you say so. I am an atheist. I don't know...

What the fuck? Firstly, "negged for life"? Not only is it bigotry but it's immature. I'm not going to neg you anymore because I don't want to feed you. Do I act like I am better than other people? Yes, I do believe I am better than child molesters. I believe that raping kids is absolutely...

You make a claim like that without any refutation of my argument or any counter argument whatsoever...and I'm the idiot? I think you may want to rethink your post. Or add a counter-argument. Don't be so "holier-than-thou" Seriously though, such an attitude is justified when an organisation of...

This =/= intellect. Education is arbitrary and therefore meaningless. It only educates you on how to do well within the education system. There are some valuable things to learn but they are far and wide between.

This could not be more true. As religion tries to suppress the natural state of human sexuality, we will find more and more people will turn to more harmful outlets of these natural impulses. This is why religion, especially organised religion, should be disregarded in mainstream society.
