Because they believe in Christ.
What do progeny have to do with equality or power. Anyway, like Umbriel says they are a fiction.
No
Oday gang, lets liven things up.
A Hollywood creation?
Semantics.
I've heard of a werewolf, but that's the first werefish I've ever seen. What other strange phenomenon do they have on your planet?
I'm not a person well versed in the bible, but it seems to me that he was actually more liberal. I mean, look at the position Mary Magdalyn (not sure of spelling) had in his entourage, depending on where you get your information. In some of the knostic gospels she was one of the leaders. Either way, his position on women seems to be somewhat progressive. Also, there is his postion on the poor which could only be classed as liberal.
He got elected because like most politicians he is good at deception, mendacity, and just plain lying. Some people are simply very good actors. The problem is that you can't avoid being stupid all the time, now can you?
Well, as far as secrecy is concerned, all presidents have resorted to this philsophy as far as possible. Check G. W.'s record on this. Also, there is a difference between a socialist, communist, and social democrat. Socialist and communist don't support the idea of private property or capitalism. Obama not only believes in private property, but owns a lot of it. He also supports capitalism which like most complex systems is a matter of degree depending on how much regulation you believe is necessary to maintain it's effecient operation and all complex systems require some regulation. A rational debate on it's level is sensible. And to, we are not the only democracy in the world and most are composed of social democrats of one degree or another. People that believe in democracy, but also support social programs of some sort, but they are not communist and to throw these accusation around willy nilly is irresponsible. The biggest difference is that our system is more conservative which gives us a great range of ideas.
