Showing your ignorance some more I see. "Jew" is not a nationality, "Israeli" is a nationality (incidentally there are both Jewish and Arabic Israelis). "Jew" is both a religion, and a specific semitic race.
Psalm 96:2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Psalm 148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above earth and heaven.

Thank you. This little twit has resorted to bad reps and that's about it. Real paper tiger.

Tashidelek, badp.
Concerning your original post:
I don't classify myself as neither pro-choice nor pro-life, I believe in government sponsored social programs and private donations, I study the process of evolution, I believe the Big Bang did happen, I am an atheist (though I sometimes lean towards pantheism), I believe homosexuality coincides with the web of existance, I don't want fornication to put someone in jail, but I agree it does no good, I want gun control, I'm sending my kids to public school most likely, I believe taxation should be based upon the situation of affairs, I oppose the death penalty with all my heart, I wish there would be an international government, I believe in "Democracy", I think the court system needs to change, but I agree with trials by jury, and I can really care less what religion people adhere to, unless they are radicals on either side and make other people suffer. Oh, and I don't know why this is classified as a liberal thing to do, but I'm a vegetarian.

LEFT / RIGHT
Evolution / Creation
By now there should be no question as to whether you are "Left of Satan" or a "Right Wing Zealot" (like myself ). Update your profile accordingly.
BADP. You make it so simplistic as Evolution/Creation. But, you can greatly break that out into many more categories. Such as:
Godless evolution, Theistic evolution, Old earth creation, Gap creation, and Young earth creation. One can even break out Young earth creation to Hydroplate (Walt Brown) and Canopy (Henry Morris).
Theistic evolution, Old earth creation, Gap creation are in the middle. As Philip E. Johnson put it "Theistic evolution is just slow creation." One can be a Christian is any one of those categories except, of course, godless evolution. Much of the truth is in fact that there is a "spectrum" of ideas and positions that do not occupy the extremes.

LEFT / RIGHT
Pro-choice / Pro-life, anti-abortion, no exceptions ever
Government sponsored social programs / Private charity
Evolution / Creation
"Big bang" or eternal universe / Creation
Atheist,Agnostic,Polytheistic / Monotheistic
Condones Homosexuality / Actively opposes homosexuality
Condones Fornication or Adultery / Actively opposes fornication and adultery
Gun bans or gun control / Unrestricted firearms ownership and carrying
Public skool / Home school or Private school
High taxes (above 5%) / Just taxes (5% and below)
Opposes death penalty / Death penalty for all capital crimes without exception
Treaties, International Bodies / Independent sovereign nations
Dumocracy or Republic / Constitutional Monarchy
Trial by Jury / Trial by Judge
Any way / Jesus is the only Way
By now there should be no question as to whether you are "Left of Satan" or a "Right Wing Zealot" (like myself ). Update your profile accordingly.
BADP this is silly. You sound like you are from West Virginia.
I am prolife. I am for private charities and GOOD government programs. I am an old earth creationist and I think the Big Bang is good creationist proof. I am monotheistic. I oppose homosexuality, fornication and adultery. I believe in some gun control. I have kids in a public school that is better than many private schools. Regarding taxes I'm with you on that one. I am for the death penalty for murder and rape cases. I believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. AMEN.
Your bi-polar either/or thinking must give you a headache.

I don't agree: believing in creation has nothing to do with being right/left winger.
Moreover: the right love science, reasoning, logic and clear thinking. If you like all of them you cannot object evolution. There is too many proofs the evolution takes place. Even creationists say evolution happens but it 'doesn't breach 'kinds' (whatever it means, since they have NEVER stated clearly what does it mean).
BTW: all other aspects are ok that's why I call myself right winger, a radical one
Now thats just sneaky!
