We obviously have a different mindset on the issue. I don't see what would be so hard about keeping that secret, nor do i see why you think 15 years of campaigning isnt EXACTLY when you would and could keep that "secret". It's not like pretending to be religious would eat away at the soul of someone who isn't. He's not pretending to be a pedophile to get some position. And of course we certainly can't know anything about what he really thinks since we can't read someones mind. | ||

Atheist in most secular western countries is almost a must to get elected. Religion is seen as something you should keep out of political discussion as far as possible. Religion is personal and private and it is not seen as something particularly attractive. Calling atheism something bad is pretty deranged with the above in mind | ||

Yeah, I didn't even realize "aussie" could hypothetically refer to an Austrian economist. Worry not! I was merely pointing out his "shrimp on the barbie"-ness  | ||

It's not up to you to decide what sort of "help" best serves a woman who has just been impregnated by rape, while ignoring what she believes is best for her. Youre suggesting you can speak on behalf of rape victims instead of listening to them. Its misogeny at its absolute most fundamental and it is totally embarrassing that you think its a reasonable stance. For you to attempt to dictate terms of recovery to rape victims is heinous, particularly using respect for life as a pretext for your view. methinks you read what you wanted me to have said, not what I said. I'm not sure where you got anything specific about what "help" would be offered from what I said, since I certainly offfered no specifics. nor did I make any assertion about how a rape victim should be treated, or whether rape victims should be listened to or not. I would ask what it is you are suggesting that we should "listen" to them about and how is that relevant to my statement? | ||
