So their pastor can get his helicopter repaired

Can someone see something inherently wrong with this?
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

Conservatives donate more money?

They also tend t'wards rejecting a woman's right to control her body, and that whole issue with all them danged gays, and how hurricanes are "God's judgement" on folks, and about how if we'd only quit taxing the rich, there'd be more jobs for the poor.

I dare say that the contribution of money is far less important than the why one did it.

On these statistics cited in the op:

how is conservative defined?

and

how is amount of money donated presented (gross amount? percent of income? percent of disposable income?)

There is nothing wrong with this. He just wants his heli back to flight and using idiots from his congregation to pay for it. The only wrong thing i see about this is that the idiots will run out of money foreclose their houses and atheists will pay at the end for all of this "donations" by their tax money.

Also, i see that theTrueChristians don't need to work, they just can ask idiouts to donate them money and live happy long lives ... until their helicopter crashes one day ...

How can it be her body if it may be a different gender and blood type? :-k

All human life is valuable, the value is different though. "If you are pre-born you are fine, if you are pre-school you are f...." (Carlin)

The question should be then what is the pricetag of life depending on circumstances.

For the record, I am against murdering pre-schoolers also.

And who gets to determine the 'bad' circumstances? Hitler thought race was a valid circumstance.

Tell it to Joey Knothead, who started it in post 51. Are you a mod or something?

well I was speaking to both of you no not a mod, but come on you have to admit abortion is a dead horse that has been kicked around quite a bit. why cant we discuss conservative vs liberal w/o bringing up abortion or foster said discussion. lets just create another thread to discuss it why do we have to pollute this thread?
