What's 'negative' about dancing, secular humanism, and environmentalism?

Or if you just want to make it simpler, what's negative about secular humanism?

Or secularism - which is basically the seperation of Church and State?

1. I never said dancing was negative. It was what it stood for. To the contrary, I love dancing and the dancing in the movie!

2. I said environmentalism was POSITIVE.

3. Ah, separation of church/state. This is where my faith comes in. That started in America, where I live, and was mentioned in a LETTER, not a LAW! And the writer of that letter meant that the state should not meddle with the government, not the other way 'round.

Alright, I'll give you that.... sort of. See below.


2. I said environmentalism was POSITIVE.

Ok, can you quote to me the passage from your review, where you said or implied that environmentalism is positive? So far as I can see, you only mention it in the sentence ending with 'a few other unnecessary things'.

Oh, and yes - you also complained that it was pro-gay. And that was bad, too. Maybe I should have just mentioned that instead of dancing.



3. Ah, separation of church/state. This is where my faith comes in. That started in America where I live

Which is relevant, how?

and was mentioned in a LETTER, not a LAW! And the writer of that letter meant that the state should not meddle with the government, not the other way 'round.

What are you talking about? Well, I know what you're talking about; you're talking about Jefferson's letter to the Baptists - but the state IS the flamin' government.

Well, I come right out and say that environmentalism was positive. But I didn't list it as negative. (BTW, the "other unnecessary things" were sexual content or at least hints)

It is relevant when combined with the rest of the sentence.

About pro-gay, gays are doing a lot of harm to their own bodies. It can cause so many sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

I dont see a happy ending to this thread. Maybe you guys should just let it go.

This should be closed before it turns into a religious/political and/or liberal vs. conservative debate... which WILL get ugly.
