Biden urges faith leaders to pressure lawmakers on background checksBy Adam Aigner-Treworgy, CNN (CNN) – During a more than two-hour meeting at the White House on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden asked leaders from across the faith community to keep up pressure on lawmakers to support compromise background check legislation even as Congress begins to shift its focus to immigration reform, according to several attendees who spoke to CNN. Biden urged the roughly 20 faith leaders in attendance not to be discouraged by recent legislative failures, and instead assured them that the White House had not given up. "Even though he suffered a defeat, he didn't sound defeated," said pastor Michael McBride of the PICO National Network. "And we need that kind of hope from the bully pulpit of the White House." In the run-up to last month's Senate vote, religious organizations from across the denominational spectrum pressured members of Congress to vote for background check legislation. Without mentioning the names of any lawmakers, Biden acknowledged the effectiveness of such lobbying efforts and asked those in attendance to continue to target those whose opinions can be swayed.

Foot note............ethics + morals = really tough on religion !
Hepcat
Atheism is a default objective position on the subject of theism.
.
A baby is born without any religious beliefs in a tabula rasa state of mind (not completely blank but blank where theism is concerned) that is the level of belief in anything at all, including superbeings, is zero to a newborn baby.
.
In LOGIC, it is a starting position, a default position, to have no conclusions until data has been processed to the point where a conclusion is possible..
.
In having zero evidence for a god, the default position remains a lack of a conclusion, a lack of a belief, because no evidence has yet been presented.
.
Again, atheism is a lack of a position on the question of theism.
There is no conclusion drawn because there is no evidence upon which to base a conclusion.
There is no conclusion POSSIBLE without any data.
.
The question should never arise, but we are surrounded by crazy people, so the question does arise: Do we have a conclusion? What is our answer? We are atheist because no evidence has appeared.
We don't "believe" no evidence has appeared, we KNOW it. We KNOW there is nothing to support the idea of a god whatsoever.
There is no doctrine to atheism. There is no baseless conclusion (belief) about there being no gods because it is the insistence upon having a basis upon which to draw a conclusion that leads back to the default position.
It is not a religion. It is not a philosophical position. It is a lack of one.
If there was a god there would be evidence and it would be testable, examinable, viewable, hearable, whateverable.
There is NOTHING.
.
In fact, there is just the opposite: The COUNTERINDICATIONS that any gods exist. Religion is fraud and brainwashing.
That is a fact. It is provable. It is testable. We have evidence there is no god. It is Chad. Chad is proof there is no god. lol
forgive me. no one should be allowed to have this much hysterical fun. but, i can't help it. read what this moron just wrote. the "default position" you say. is that right? my. ain't it grand? a billion or so have believed in the alpha and the omega, but dodo hasn't granted them her permission! what to do, dodo?
you may want to consider that they have no use for your logic, lol. nor could they care less. christ is more real than the goofy, obnoxious garbage you've created. but, i concede, there is absolutely no evidence, no hint of nor any suggestion anywhere for any of the 4,000 or so gods. deluded christians accept everything, based on nothing. it is a wonderful way to live. that's why christians walk around in states of pure ecstasy all the time. they are brainwashed. that is all there is to it. no objective study has ever indicated they have any ability or potential to think. all are dopes and dupes, misguided, delusional, mental defectives. not one has an iq over 4.
do not let up. stay on your toes. these believers in sky fairies who can't count to 1 are nevertheless the major threat to world peace and stability and they are unquestionably the source of all evil extant in the world. despite their hallucinations and inability to accomplish anything, watch them carefully. watch them every second. sit on them, dodo. don't let them up for air. you never know. they could somehow devise a scheme (or be led by some crafty sky daddy fool) and suddenly take over the world. keep up the great work. limiting believers in god fairies to a mere one billion is quite respectable.

Fourteen Closely Related Crocodiles Existed Around 5 Million Years Ago
May 21, 2013 — Today, the most diverse species of crocodile are found in northern South America and Southeast Asia: As many as six species of alligator and four true crocodiles exist, although no more than two or three ever live alongside one another at the same time. It was a different story nine to about five million years ago, however, when a total of 14 different crocodile species existed and at least seven of them occupied the same area at the same time, as an international team headed by paleontologists Marcelo Sánchez and Torsten Scheyer from the University of Zurich is now able to reveal.

thank you CNN and dodo for blocking those posting attempts so that one is now 4 or 5 posts. thanks, too, for revealing what you are really all about by censoring posts supporting christianity. you are a disgrace and pathetic and if you had the slightest hint of a legitimate argument for hating jesus christ, you wouldn't have to engage in all the things you so gleefully accuse your enemy of doing.

First things first, I am not against background checks – I just think it requires a few more checks and balances to it. Second, I think that no one of any faith should have any say in the United States government from the stance of religion that is. The only thing that should be spoken of in the terms of religion is how it effects people and whether or not to tax it! However, once the knowledge of how it effects people is realized, it is the most long term effective act to remove religion from everything but the privacy of the individual believer's home!
I can't think of a way to suppress the influence of religion without seriously compromising several protections we all have (and want) under the Constitution.
Well for starters, I think the more people understand that the "separation of church and state" is not found ANYWHERE in the const.itution. It is actually a quote from Jefferson whom took the notion from Roger Williams. It is only the one state that has anything to do with the very notion that so many would take as an argument in this case – where religion is being used as a foundation on which one gets followers and thereby votes and so achieve desire ends whether they be religious or not!
From here we create an amendment outlining how a true separation should be and how it would and applied...on both the federal and state levels.
Did they all kiss the Pope's ring?
So...any comments about this story? LOL- as always, a hodge podge of bigotry. stereotyping, and assorted other human behaviors our educational system has so succesfully cleansed us of.(Need to raise taxes for better education it appears). So, what about the story? Any thoughts on that? LOL

Evolving Genes Lead to Evolving Genes: Selection in European Populations of Genes Regulated by FOXP2
Apr. 18, 2013 — Researchers have designed a method that can universally test for evolutionary adaption, or positive (Darwinian) selection, in any chosen set of genes, using re-sequencing data such as that generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. The method identifies gene sets that show evidence for positive selection in comparison with matched controls, and thus highlights genes for further functional studies.

Someone still hasn't grasped the idea that Nazis were Christians. Someone will inevitably die as ignorantly as s/he lived. Please stop saying that Christian Nazis hated God. They didn't.
to a nazi national socialism was their religion the ultimate in atheism hitler was his own false god. hitler was an atheist as were most of the true nazis although himmler dabbled in nordic mythology
Woe Nelly. Somebody is being PR I cked by the holy spirit. God hating Nazi fascists thought this was all fun and games. Suddenly, god penetrated this monster's bologna and she don't feel so proud. A PR I ck. Like that hate-filled zealot long ago, determined to destroy the first handful of believers by having them murdered. Woe Nelly.

Watered-Down Love
treacheries of watering down
the love that God has for us.
Love that's pure, it don't make no claims,
Intercedes for you 'stead of casting you blame,
Will not deceive you or lead you to transgression,
Won't write it up and make you sign a false confession.
You don't want a love that's pure
You wanna drown love
You want a watered-down love
Love that's pure ain't no accident,
Always on time, is always content,
An eternal flame, quietly burning,
Never needs to be proud, restlessly yearning.
