I hope you just mean it's not worth it on this message board. Because I tend to actually believe inalienable rights of human beings in this country...IS worth arguing for. Especially when the predominant reason why a group of people in our society are not allowed to have the same rights as everyone else...is because a single, but majorly influential, religious group in our country says their deity finds those people sinful. If we're going to start making laws based on sins in the Bible...then get out the pad and paper, because this is going to be a long night! And not to side the topic...but atheism is not a faith system Not to decide is to decide!!

What's ironic? No one has said that Christians should be punching bag for culture wars and legislative battles like gay people have been for years. Some of us simply want to be governed by reason rather than the accounts of a band of failed carpenters, fishermen and beggars 2000 years ago, and a historically insignifcant nomandic tribe before that. Not to argue, but the bolded comment is not exactly one that think "no one should be a punching bag......" but your comments would tend to get a Christian defensive. Homosexuals do not have the market on bias and or suffering. Here is a link that shows how much Christians have been and continue to suffer for their beliefs. http://www.persecution.com/ Unfortunately, discussions of religion, like politics never end well. I agree, I don't think they get what persecution is so maybe they should go to the middle east and proclaim Jesus as their Lord and savior, then they would know what persecution is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean like smoking crack, having orgies or pissing on police cars? No wait that is for the noble cause by the 99% who are fighting for the common man.

The guy is a complete idiot and has no clue what he is even talking about since islam wasn't even around until 600 A. D. http://thehistorygoy.hubpages.com/hub/Start-of-Islam

No carlfense, why?

What are you saying that God can never enjoy anything except what he wrote in the old testament, that's crazy? So he can't enjoy a new baby because it is the 21st century. He can not enjoy man building great cities because they didn't have sky scrapers 4,000 years ago. God can not accept pavement and concrete or any other invention man made because it was not around 4,000 years ago, that is very strange.!!!

knapplc, you say that but your actions speak louder than words!!

What I would do for the woman is set up a support system. Hopefully have the woman's friends and family support her through the emotional crisis she will be going through. Help give her information on PTSD and offer her assurance that I'm there to help her. Set them up with counseling if they are willing to talk. That's just a few suggestions. And much better suggestions than forcing her to marry her rapist or stoning her to death for no longer being a virgin. Really simple suggestions that wouldn't have taken up much more space in the bible than what's already laid out. A just and merciful god should realize this. And you would not have thought like that in their time. You would have done what all the other men did. Yeah, during Deuteronomy they had professional counciling and psychologists, you guys are something else. In this day and age yes, back then you would not have done or even thought about any of that. I can see you setting up your tent and having them come in and sit down on your couch maybe give them some goat milk and then go all freudian on them, yeah right. You guys are all in denial, to think that you would have been these knights in shining armor 4,000 years ago, it really is comical. Why did your God sentence women to marry their rapists back then, but not today? Has God changed? God Hasn't changed but he sent Jesus and now there is the new testament.

The woman can do what she wishes. What I WOULDN'T do is force her to marry her rapist. What I WOULDN'T do is tell her that marrying her rapist is her best option. today you wouldn't, you can't seem to fathom were are talking about men and a culture 4,000 years old and if you were part of that culture you would have done the exact thing. I would agree with you if we are talking about modern times, I feel the same way but you really think that you would have not obeyed the old testament 4,000 years ago? You are crazy and in denial!! !!

Oh there's hope baby, there's hope!!!

knapplc, knapplc, knapplc, knapplc, knapplc, knapplc, You gave me answers with your way of thinking in the present but that is misleading. If you were a Jew and living in the time of the old testament you would have thought as they did back then, so your answers are not realisitic given what you would have done during the time of Deuteronomy.

You try to catch The Daily Show every night, yet don't know who Neil deGrasse Tyson is? You watch Colbert, even though you're not a fan? Your wife likes, and listens to, U-Stink-But-I-♥-U By Billy and the Boingers? You think The Onion is a news outlet? There.... there aren't words. The daily show I see about once every two weeks. I like Stewart but I don't get to see it often, I like his show!! I try to catch it, I don't get much of a chance. I watch colbert maybe once a month, I am not a big fan he is ok not really as funny as stewart, that means I don't hate him and if I ahve the time I would watch his show. My wife doesn't, I was joking with you know U stink (as in I stink) But i love U ( as in she loves me anyway) a joke, sarcasm, in that vein. My wife doesn't know U stink but I love u nor do I, I was simply making light of the words. You can call the onion whatever you like I know the stories are fictitious. The last time i saw the daily show was mid March and the Colbert show even before that. Anything else?

I would guess that knapplc and I disagree on nearly as much as you and I. Check out the strip search thread or the old McDonald's lawsuit thread. I know, I agreed with knapplc, who'da thunk it!?!??

Actually johnny, you're wrong. You did tell us what you thought the best option was for the raped women. (Did you already forget the argument that you made yesterday?) http://www.huskerboa...post__p__939255 I did forget and that was wrong but you guys have not come up with- what is the woman to do now that she has been raped. You have no answers as to what you would do for the woman. And it isn't even a fair assumption because if you lived back then you wouldn't think the way you do today, so you have no adequate answer because you would have done what every man in Israel did, they lived by the old testament. So don't act like you have done anything different.

I would put you on a strict Daily Show diet for the next six months, minimum. No Maddow, no Fox (of any kind) no MSNBC, no ABC or CBS or NBC - none of it. Ever again. Ever. I would have you read The Onion during that six months, so you could see what satire is and so you develop a heightened sense for bogus reporting. I would have you watch every Neil deGrasse Tyson video you can find on YouTube. I would have you read Bloom County, in its entirety, AND listen to U-Stink-But-I-♥-U on continuous loop for one hour. Maybe two. You would be expressly forbidden from following Fundamentally Oral Bill, however. That would be a start. From there I would probably have your continuing education be taken up by watching the Colbert Report, reading some RSS feeds from Reuters and the AP, and maybe, just maybe, some BBC. But I think it's important to note that I have no problem with you. I disagree with some of your positions on things, but with you, johnnyrodgers20, I have no problem. Don't mistake different points of view for dislike. Well done, sir. Heard from Frick knew Frack would not be far behind!!

Don't mistake different points of view for dislike. You are totally misguided by my persona on here apparently, I am a way bigger card than you will ever be. The problem is we only talk about politics and we have a very different view of this country. And You don't need to educate me on news, you just have a deifferent colored pair of glasses. Oh, and by the way, I try to catch Stewart every night, I miss it often because he is on at 7:00 and I am chasing rugrats. He is on at 11:00 also but I am going to bed at that time, he is funnier than Colbert, I am not a big fan of Colbert but I like to watch him also. The onion is a very funny news outlet but I have grown tired of it at this moment but I do change my mind from time to time. I have to admit I have never heard of NDT, I do not know who or what he is. U stink but I love U is my wife's anthem so I do know about that. I would not have a problem watching that if you watch judge Nepalitano and Stossel for the same amount of time.

lol. "Murdering." A fetus has a beating heart as early as 4 weeks into the pregnancy. Abortion stops a beating heart. Hence, murder. You might want to check your statutes. A beating heart is not mentioned in the elements of murder. I do note that you have conceded that an abortion prior to your 4 week mark is ok because there is no beating heart. That's a start. Well, maybe we can get you to agree that partial birth abortion is murder, that may be a start for you.

Not me!!

I do have to say you are correct, it was a great read!! It reminds us of what we should be and what we are not. We, all too often get caught up in our lives and don't have time to reflect what it truly is like to be a Christian. Sometimes you start to have goals and they are not bad goals but they can take over your life and diminish your Christian life. I know myself, I planned and saved to buy a new van for the family and while I was not doing anything wrong, I do have a singlemindedness (if that is a word) and like a laser I am determined to get that goal. Which may take away from me tithing more or giving to more charities, or using more of my time to help the less fortunate than I do. At this time of year it is good to reflect on your life and work on the shortfalls in my life. I want to thank you for making me a better person because I have read this article. Happy Easter to all.

So it doesn't matter that I watch MSNBC or CNN or ABC news just fox news, that is the problem you have with me. Diane Sawyer is ok with you or Rachel Maddow, what about Keith Oberman or Chris Mathews? Why don't you tell me who is acceptable to get news from and who I can quote for you to accept news and statistics. Who are the brain washers and who is giving unbiased information. I want to make sure I clear it with the propoganda minister before I use the news. I will be waiting for your list Heir fuhrer!!

You were the one who repeatedly implied that it was better for the woman to marry her rapist than to not marry her rapist. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Wrong answer - I ponted out the two terrible options and that one was to marry her rapist and the other was to be homeless and glean fields to survive. I stated that at that time the men of that day thought it was a good idea. I couldn't tell you what a woman of that time would do.

Just wondering if you can be intellectually consistent. My guess is no but I'd sure like to be surprised. Anyways, back to you explaining how we should force women to marry their rapists because it's good for them. Ah the old lefty ploy to make someone sound evil, NICE!! The funny thing is that if you lived during the time of Deuteronomy you would have made them do it too, you evil hebrew!! Do you know how I would during the time of Deuteronomy would think, you are amazing? Yep, just like you think- you know that I would force a woman to marry her rapists.

I wouldn't know, Johnny. I don't watch CNN, and I have never watched even one second of Rachel Maddow's show. But you seem to mention her quite a bit. It's cute that you're adopting the lingo of other HuskerBoarders. You will be assimilated. knapplc, And you seem to mention Fox ALOT, what does that have to do with the price of bananas?
