Gaetano replied to Professor Tanhauser's discussion 'Are conservatives sociopathic? Maybe...'

Gaetano replied to Professor Tanhauser's discussion 'Are conservatives sociopathic? Maybe...'
"I'm an Atheist and I tend to side with conservative ideals and political parties.  Mainly because the left-wing parties are so incompetent where I am.  The way I see it, you don't need to be religious to be conservative. …"

Gaetano replied to Richmond's discussion 'Movement on banning the burqa across Eruope and the US. How about the other limits on women from other religions'
"To be honest, whilst I don't see how the burqa is a necessity for a Muslim woman (I've heard every excuse under the sun, and when they try to justify it they just sound like people in denial), I think the driving force has been Christian…"

Gaetano replied to Angelo's discussion 'positive evidence for atheism'
"So by that logic, if someone says gremlins exist, no would could deny it unless they could prove it didn't exist?    I ask the question:  How do you disprove something existed if it never existed?  I mean, what proof could…"
