| Anonymous Coward User ID: 731883 United States08/12/2009 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Peter Singer says infants aren't normal human beings with rights to life and liberty: "Characteristics like rationality, autonomy and self-consciousness...make a difference. Infants lack these characteristics. Killing them, therefore, cannot be equated with killing normal human beings." Quoting: Starkissed 746305Christianity introduced into Western civilization the concept of dignity of human life. Singer says we have to get rid of this outdated concept. He says we should do away with religion because it promotes the life and liberty of children, and goes against the rationality of Darwinian concepts... " "In the animal kingdom, after all, parents sometimes kill and even devour their offpsring". Singer argues that the West can learn from the other cultures like the Kalahari where children are routinely killed when they are unwanted, even when they are several years old. In a nutshell, the crux of the whole entire game. |

| StarKissed (OP) User ID: 746305 United States08/12/2009 04:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In other reading about this Singer guy, he puts more value on animals and believes they need more rights than humans. From what I understand, he caused so much controvery, that he hid out for 30+ years, but has now resurfaced. A freaking Demon if you ask me. Because of the controversy, I'll guess that's why his name hasn't been formally mentioned on the Obama team...however, it sounds that Ezekial Emanual is quoting the Singer guy word for word. Accckkkk! . |

When an individual has no moral compass, no way to govern himself, he is lost. When a nation loses it's moral compass, lets evil men govern it, it is destroyed. Why do I need a priestarchy (religion) to govern myself? Intimacy w/ nature breeds responsible societies and people, this is what has been lost by too many people. My moral compass is my responsibility not that of a hierarchy of churchmen? Religion is poor substitute for gnosis and the majority of them treat women with contempt (no female clergy, no female prophets, no female avatars, woman's "place" is one of subserviance to males, etc...). There has been plenty of religion in the last 6000 years and its principle fruits have been dominance, oppression, and slaughter/genocide. One could even argue that the "amoral/immoral" excesses and atheistic/adeistic scientifism that have been in the rise during the last century are a predictable consequence of people "going wild" after being long held under the tyranny of religious violence. "Doing away with" though is not the answer as it is the same psychological tyranny only under a different stripe. Live and let live so long as people are not harming others or trying to impose their systems of belief by violence (physical, psychological, or spiritual). |

| *~*Faithful*~* User ID: 726572 United States08/18/2009 08:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | peter singer had not joined the Obama administration and has no role in its health are policy. this entire thread is based on a factually incorrect premise. Quoting: nyp 751476And you know this how? As others would state, no linky you stinky, lol. Please provide evidence that refutes the OP. I'm not saying the OP's article is correct, and even the OP questions the validity, but at least puts it out there on a "just in case" basis. Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 784308  Australia01/31/2010 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yep Singer is one bad dude. He advocates beastility and says that fucking a chicken is no more cruel than killing it for eating. I think that Time or Newsweek did a story about him some 15 years ago - and if was totally off the planet with his warped ideas. |
