Christian Fundamentalism is destroying society and culture.
Such as:
- Abortion
Abortion of all things is often a large political issue when electing candidates into office. Abortion should be a non-issue and is a freedom provided to us under the United States Constitution. It shouldn't be a problem, even if it contradicts some religion because the church and state are two separate things. - Prostitution — Gone
When prostitution, like drugs, became illegal, the scum of the Earth stepped in to control it. Regulation and safety are no concern for Christian Fundamentalists because who cares, right? Prostitution is illegal therefore only outlaws are prostitutes and we can't afford them health care, right? - Mind-altering substances — Gone (except the one's they can make loads of money on)
Tobacco and Alcohol are in, everything else is out. Despite having the ability to rake in just as much cash on substances such as cocaine and marijuana, moral crusaders are told by God that this is not the right thing to do. War on Drugs: Prohibition 2. - Freedom of Speech
Shit, piss, cocksucker, fuck, cum, asshole, motherfucker, cunt, nigger, bitch, and tits would not be such a problem, had they not been made illegal. How harmful must a word be to be made illegal? See below. - Pornography — Thriving
One word: tubes. Television has hit a threshold for sexuality. Christian Fundamentalists both in the FCC/FTC and board members of the companies themselves have reached critical mass for sexuality/profitability. Individuals on the Internet, however, are not held back by lobbied federal restraints. This one is a win for us, and will continue to be. - Sexuality and the Family
Homosexuals, sodomy, same-sex-marriage and your personal life in general is under question when it comes to Christian Fundamentalists. It also tends to be another question brought up in offence to candidates for public office, "do you support gay marriage?" Again, why should it matter? This is yet another freedom that is afforded us by the United States Constitution. - Science — A Loosing Battle
Most recently the debacle is over stem cell research, which could one day save your life. Christian Fundamentalists in the government use their power to cut funding for many projects in the scientific community, terminating with public statements such as, "I am pro-life." Sure, the Benjamin-lined pockets of our officials can afford to jump to the head of the kidney-donor line. Consequently, you and I might have just missed out. Just missed out? We're talking about the lives of people here! - Education
Education is becoming increasingly Christian as of late. Christian Fundamentalists seem to think creation can be taught in schools. Again, should be a non-issue. Creation is BLATANTLY RELIGIOUS and therefore should not be an issue when it comes to government-funded education. Books remain banned in schools with anti-religious/anti-establishment tones. It's unfair to inundate CHILDREN with Christian propaganda by the very people they look up to, the parents, the educators and the politicians. - Religious Freedom
Christian Fundamentalists believe to their core that the Gospel and Jesus Christ is the One True Way (TM). Those with money spend billions of dollars per year on fear-mongering and public ad campaigns, those without (much) use their products. Ten Commandments signs, t-shirts, bumper stickers, prime time TV ads, entire TV channels, websites, website advertising and email, forum, and blog spam is only a start to the massive list of media their message spans. What might be the truth becomes buried deeper and deeper.
What else?
I have opened a thread in the forums for discussion. You can leave one liners and stuff in the comments here, real discussion should be carried out through the forums.
