If an unborn baby is not alive, why are its body parts of value?
Why are dead humans' organs of value? Because they can be used for science. People donate their bodies to science all the time so that they can be used for research after they are dead.
If there is a “separation between the church and state”, why has the government spent so much money on a religious leader’s visit?
You seem to forget he is a political leader too.
If Tea Party folks are so racist why do they like Ben Carson?
Tokenism. I'm anti-racist and I'm not a particularly big fan of him OR Obama. I like Keith Ellison tho.
If the U.S. Supreme Court were to rule that it is “legal” for men to have sex with young boys, would it be legal?
Yes. Whether it is right is another matter.
Why are there no Protestants on the U.S. Supreme Court?
Why are there no Muslims?
If flooding a nation with immigrants is the Christian thing to do, why don’t they ship a bunch of Syrian refugees to Vatican City?
Irrelevant. The trickle of refugees to the US is hardly a flood. But yes, the Vatican should take in refugees if possible.
If the Pope is so concerned about poverty, why doesn’t the Vatican fund the American welfare system?
Yeah, why not help other nations' poor? It's a better expense than covering up sexual abuse in churches.
Is there any country in the world where LGBT, blacks, Hispanics, women, Muslims, or other minorities have more rights than they do in the U.S.?
Much of the Western world.
Is it possible that it is political ideology and not religion that Obama and the Pope share?
Yes and no. They're both Christians, but of different denominations. They have overlap in political beliefs, but the pope is more progressive in some ways and more conservative in others.
If the Pope “speaks for the church”, why do so many Catholics ignore the Pope’s position on abortion and homosexuality when they go to vote?
Because not everyone is defined by religion. Likewise, many Baptists like Jimmy Carter support marriage equality.
If paying taxes is “voluntary”, why do you go to jail if you don’t “volunteer” to pay them?
They are not voluntary. That is the rubbish of "sovereign citizens."
Since over 80% of all Mexicans are Catholic, wouldn’t open borders be a great way to restock the rapidly emptying American Catholic Churches?
Maybe. But remember more people in general are becoming nonreligious, so their children and their children's children might be secular-minded.
Are societal standards determined by a vote of unelected judges?
Constitutional matters are. And we must account for minority rights and protect them from hostile majorities.
If Muslims are so peaceful, why is our government killing so many of them overseas?
That's a problem with our government. Also, the vast majority of Christians are peaceful. Doesn't stop the anti-balakas.
If homosexuals are “born that way”, how about pedophiles, bi-sexuals, and bigots?
Bisexuals? Yes. Sexuality is inborn and mostly immutable. Pædophiles? Irrelevant. The issue is molestation. Bigots? No. Bigotry is taught.
If it is “hateful” for a Christian to speak out against homosexuality, why is it not “hateful” for a homosexual to speak out against Christianity?
Motive is important. Also, homosexuality is unchosen, while Christianity is a choice.
Why do both political parties hate Donald Trump?
Democrats hate him because he's a lunatic and bigot. Republicans hate him because he might bolt and mount a third-party run. Not to mention his economics are not conservative enough for the Republicans.
What if the Republican National Committee and the Republican voters have different agendas?
This is true. The RNC is corporatist, while base voters are misinformed or bigoted.
Is being a Christian and being a Conservative the same thing?
No, hell no. Ayn Rand, the conservative atheist and former Jew, is a counterexample. Same for Walter Rauschenbusch and Raphael Warnock, both of them Christians, both of them concerned with social justice.
If President Obama is a Christian, why do so many people think he’s a Muslim?
Lots of people are idiots.
If Planned Parenthood is so concerned about women, and since they receive $500 million in government aid, why aren’t the abortions free?
Abortions are expensive. Preferably they should be free, but still.
If the US Government is a corporation wouldn’t Donald Trump be the most qualified candidate to run it?
>implying the government should be a corporation
If homosexuality and cigarette smoking are both behaviors why do our schools approve of one and disapprove of the other?
If being black and Nazism are both political beliefs, why do our schools approve of one and disapprove of the other?
Why do the names Common Core and Communism sound so much alike?
Why do the names Tea Party and Taliban sound so much alike?
