    Which they would have clearly stated they disagreed with, if they had, but they didn't, so they do agree. It is also probable that they paid for the article.

    I have to keep to one liners when dealing with your sort, as we can see even then you struggle to stay on subject. Now finally you have shown that the constitution does not class human life from the moment of conception and all your bluster about constitutional rights in your opening post was just that, bluster.

    Little fishes soon learn when the shark is a basking shark with all mouth and no teeth!

    Really. Guess you have never heard of people stabbing a pregnant woman and killing her and her baby and the killer being charged with double homicide. A woman with medical complications and the doctor having to perform surgery and save the baby. Sometimes not weighing more than a little over a pound. If the child is not a human then why do some woman take abortion inducing medicines. Are sonograms results that show human life not science? Does not the child share the same nutrients as the mother during development? Do you think Roe vs Wade was always the rule of the land? The Supreme Court made bad case law in 1973. Abortion was a state issue before that.

    But Roe v Wade does rule your land, until you change that, keep barking at the moon! Meanwhile in my country which does not suffer from a large group of religious fundamentalists abortion will be legal for the foreseeable future, enjoy!

    So what Satanists believe has some sort of validity? Hahaha!

    When life begins is a big issue. I do not think Satanists are qualified to answer the question.

    And of course the obvious problem that statement is that if you are absolutely free to do as you please then, in the end everyone else can only be a tool to further your search for pleasure. I'm quite sure that all those looters and rioters share that philosophy. In the end the two tenets mention are mutually contradictory.

    Not exactly. I don't see where they believe in causing harm. Sounds humanistic to me. Somewhat pagan, maybe? Like I said, I steer clear of this kind of stuff, but their point appears to both use and mock religious belief, to, like you said, "do as you please" based on 1st Amendment right to free exercise.

    Well, that's my take. Explain please.

    Saying “the struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions” does not mean lawbreaking, if that's what you're focused on. I suppose you could interpret it that way, but I see the words "struggle" and "prevail" to mean peacefully trying to change the system.

    The first part is incompatible long term with that goal unless one has a very peculiar definition of justice.

    Please elaborate.

    Yes, interpretations can be different, but voting would be an example that satisfies both tenets. Protesting would be another example. I know you want to focus on the riots, but the first tenet prohibits rioting, from what I can see.

    Sadly, it's not that elements of the Left are getting crazier; it's just that more of those uber-radical types are being put into professional positions representative of the VOICE of the Dem Party itself. Or in other words, the very nearly insane segment of the radical Left -- that has ALWAYS existed on the fringes of the Dem Party -- are now gradually becoming the actual voice of the Party.

    “one should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason”

    Yeah, pure uber-radical insanity there. What monsters they are.

    So you're willing to take responsibility for every batshit crazy thing a right wing writer writes?

    The second tenet says nothing about violence.

    Huff Post is a bullhorn for America's lunatic left. I read a lot of different things and it's hit or miss with Huff Post, they do have some good writers but you have to remember they still work in a cracker factory. Salon is one I read fairly regularly and it's top notch on everything but politics. Mother Jones is rabidly progressive and again you can still find something interesting to read. Rolling Stone was once an amazing publication but now you can line the litter box with it. Worse yet is the total destruction of America's newspapers. Time was when I looked forward to Sunday mornings with the NYTimes and the Boston Globe, absolute rubbish now. The Huff Post headline is typical and shows how the media, all media, has become little more than tabloid garbage.

    Exactly so. When your second tenet is little more than do as you please and contains nothing prohibiting doing violence to others then violence to others is not prohibited.

    It's prohibited by the first tenet.

    The Constitution doesn't say when life begins. What's your point?

    Well, it's 700 burned buildings and how many hundreds of businesses destroyed forever and hundreds more unlikely to ever fully recover after former area residents left in self-defense. That's uber-radical insanity there. One should strive with compassion and empathy in torching a stranger's building, because Trump!

    That is the point. Read Roe v Wade. The decision included language indicating that science and religion can't agree on when life begins, and neither can the court.
