CC is Liberal

[Neoteny]

I agree with Player, and Neoteny.
There have been several polls that show that there are more conservatives here than Liberals. Seems that they don't post much though. But you can always throw up another poll.

One (related) thing that I always wondered about is the "is there a God Poll" was heavily pro-God. Yet the Godless Heathens and other random Atheists seem to rule this forum. Where are all the 10,000 members of the Jesus Freaks at?

I even hesitate to use that poll as there are quite a few liberals who are Christian. The most recent example is this example (look at how many old people they are). Given, this is not an end-all be-all, because on every "hot-button" issue, you'll have people who blur the lines, but the trend of all these polls on talking points is indicative that there are more conservative voters on CC than liberal ones. We can debate young people being more likely to be liberal and old people being more likely to be conservative, but if we're assuming that the political sway in this off-topic forum is caused by age, then we have a sample that goes against that common knowledge. Period. Please, disagree, and I'll dig up more old polls.

Many people on this site are theist in their way of thinking. They don't ascribe to the doctrines of the Bible, but they probably reason that there is a God. They come from all political points of view as well. Being a theist or even a Christian doesn't mean one is necessarily right-wing in their political principles or how they interpret scripture.

As far as Christians go, Juan....the Bible instructs us to attempt to live at peace with our fellow man as much as possible. I (we) don't always do that, but we've got a lot of people in the JF that do follow that line of thinking. The other thing is that the Bible describes people who don't believe in God as fools. Other verses say that it's folly to try to argue with a fool or you'll end up looking just like him/her. The reason for this is described in Romans 1 where it claims that God's invisible qualities - divine nature & eternal power are clearly made plain so that men are without excuse. So many in the JF probably think it's a waste of time to argue over God's existence. It's already a settled issue in their mind.

Please notice that there's a difference between being a fool and unintelligent. I (we) don't claim that atheists are stupid but rather foolish for denying the obvious. This is why that poster you put on the forums (remember - "Atheism...good enough for these idiots") is bogus. Besides, 3 of those men in the poster weren't atheists and although Lincoln was an atheist as a young man, he may have been in the process of changing his mind before his assasination took place....it's inconclusive because there are quotes from him supporting both sides.

I've tried to reason with people here because I used to be a skeptic, but it's really to no avail because it's more a matter of the will than the intellect. So, would it be better to argue forever, knowing that the atheists here aren't going to change their minds? Sometimes I think that the atheists here are actually hoping that someone can give them answers for questions such as "if God is omnipotent then why doesn't He defeat evil, and why did He allow its existence in the first place". IMO, that's why we have endless thread creations on this subject.

Thats quite interesting, in the polls the conservatives do seem to win but they are less active for some reason. Didn't realise that until now... Maybe the liberals just have irrefutable arguaments?

What we can learn here is that conservatives are quieter than liberals, a silent majority in fact, not unlike real life...

Silent... sure...

[jonesthecurl]

and on the age thing, I think I opine quite a lot here, I think most people would consider me "liberal" and I know I'm one of the oldest regular posters.

... Maybe the cons just vote with all their multis?

I thought conservatives were too stupid to make multiple accounts?

[Neoteny]

No no no, too stupid not to make multiple accounts.

[thegreekdog]

No no no, too stupid not to make multiple accounts.

Ah, that makes more sense.

You have to excuse me, I'm 50% conservative.

I know i'm on your ignore list for "deceiving" you, but this just makes me laugh.

To me a liberal is a person who believes that his way/what he thinks is right and everything else is wrong, but he feels the great need to change shit to his way.

Awesome! "Make Up Your Own Definitions For Words" is my favourite game. My turn next.

To me, a liberal is a 5-legged midget that can hurl lightning bolts from his penis, and serves hot, liquid justice in a thermos.

Might as well be.

LOL

Even I think there's a bit more to it than that but your 'definition' applies to more than 90% of liberals out there.

Bravo!

It applies to about 98% of the human race so nice to see you applauding the more liberal thought patterns

Yes, everyone is a selfish retard, the remaining two percent might as well be Jesus, Ghandi(sp) and yourself.

I don't think that 3 people make up 2% of the global population....

[jonesthecurl]

...and one of those is dead, another possibly fictional and certainly not bodily with us at the moment.

None of them are even saints....

[DirtyDishSoap]

Close enough in my book.

Close enough in my book.

Its not an opinion, they either are or are not, and in this case they are not.

[DirtyDishSoap]

Alright, so then really who is a saint to you, or even comes close to being one.

[Titanic]

St. George, St. Peter, St. Nicholas. Want any more examples?

[DirtyDishSoap]

Fill up the 2%.

[DirtyDishSoap]

Change that, off subject.
Point being, CC is liberal.
Go make a saints thread!

You ever thought of using the "edit" button?
