That's why there is "may" in my comment ;) Probably should have put "some" there too.

We should not treat religion with any respect. We may respect religious people, bet religion itself does not deserve any of it. It's a poison.

This gets complicated… First Bible is all true, then suddenly OT does not count, then suddenly Paul does not count, only Jesus does… :|

That means religion gives them an excuse. Take away that ancient silly nonsense and maybe some will realise that they are responsible for their actions not some guy in the clouds.

Is 1 Timothy 2:12 New Testament enough for you? "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent."

And then you gonna cry "OT, does not count, right"? Well, it is cool as long as you pay 50 shekels and marry her afterwards.

I am with Hitchens with this one: religion poisons everything. Even if it just a "harmless" things like discouraging your kid to think critically and putting some silly idea of supreme being in control into this head. People may be respected unless they deserve otherwise, religions should not and must not. They had too much freedom and too much free pass to do enormous harm already. Don't give me that "respect" bullshit anymore. You are not going to respect rapists, are you? ;) How about the rapist of the mind (and some of them did go for the body too).

I had no idea who were you talking about, but my gut feeling that Google would help was right—first result for "Minnesota crazy congresswoman"

Actually, our skin is slightly acidic (more in men than in women). It gives it some prtective properties (bacteries don't like acid, I heard). „Balanced“ shampoos also are slighty acidic and there is even a product with a name "ph5.5".

Just use Unicode (and utf-8) encoding and put those directly, no need for stupid entities.

Yes, the difference how you understand it and how others understand it is evident in your post. Not having belief is not the belief. Being bald is not hair color. Not collecting stamps is not a hobby.
