Is liberalism literally a mental disorder?

Aren't we allowed to talk about politics and religion in that subforum because afaik this subforum is called politics and religion. Maybe you don't care about values of a traditional marriage, but there are others who do. Me fucked up? Certainly not, I am not the one who is praising the values of socialism or liberalism because I have seen the results it has given in my country. In all due respect, I have no moral lessons to receive from liberals or even socialists.
You have your opinions and I do have mine.

You don't have to report to me if you consider yourself a believer in the teachings of your supernatural god.
 
Why such rage at same sex marriage? A (supposedly) great American maxim is that rights that are separate but equal are inherently unequal - a maxim the prohibition of same sex marriage violated.

And with our tremendous 50% divorce rate one can hardly argue that heterosexual marriage is somehow a holy and sanctified estate, agreed?

The divorce rate among deeply religious evangelicals ( attend church once or twice a week and do not simply identify as Christian) is extremely low. Around 3-4 percent.

The rest of the heathens are skewing the numbers badly for the ones that are making marriage work.

Sure doesn't look that way from all these stats. The first study even comes from an Evangelical Christian organization.

I said deeply religious subgroup. Put them in the same category as clergy where the divorce rate is low.

I don’t trust any study conducted by academia when it comes to religion and where they can skew the numbers to make evangelicals look as bad as possible. Do you not think I would research my comment before I made it?
I came across the same university and “independent” studies but as I looked deeper I found the “ 1 or 2 times a week” qualifier tucked away in the 3 percent divorce rate subgroup. Take it for what it is worth, for the past 26 years, I can count on one hand the times that Christians of the Billy Graham level of faith and dedication have sought to end the marriage. They are the first to seek counseling and usually resolve their issues before separation and divorce.

BAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Don't trust scientists and statisticians kids, if you want real objectivity and honesty, let religions represent themselves!

what is Marxism but a man made ideology?
and what's the alternative to a "man made" ideology? A God-directed one?
in other words, I know beforehand what your position is, but how does what you just said support that?
</Tucker Carlson>

Nature aka reality and empirically tested science.

Man-made religions made me lose my faith in God, science restored my faith in God.
 
Man made climate change findings are not empirically derived.

It is completely based and dependent upon computer modeling.

Human activity, mainly the burning of fossil fuels does have an impact on the environment and the climate, but to what degree, no one knows for sure.
The ice caps are getting smaller every year, the oceans are rising, but to what extent are humans responsible is still debatable, and maybe it is partly a natural cycle.
But switching to renewable energy, sunlight, wind and hydro, even if it makes no difference in climate change will still decrease the amount of air, water and soil toxic pollution that fossil fuels and other toxins create.

Pollution kills 9 million people each year, new study finds

Correlation does not equal causation.

Correction:
Correlation often equals causation.

Fossil fuels are adversely affecting the climate to some degree.

Wrong.

If that were true, man could simply utilize other resources to counteract the effects. Since we can affect it, we could direct the climate in any direction we choose.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful
Seneca the Younger

Whether you follow a religion or not, religion is true as it exists. So the wise, as it turns out, aren’t so wise after all.
