I spent my weekend with a friend who is Catholic, and she and her boyfriend are currently “negotiating” as she would prefer to be a stay at home wife and he wants her to keep working even after she has kids.

Actually, the data Soloist presented above is that almost all the risk is from promiscuity. But I’ll answer your claims anyway. In my church circles, 1 out of 6 women are not raped. (I will ignore your weasel words of “rape or attempted rape”, because “attempted rape” is irrelevant to HPV. If 1 in 6...

It’s easier to have a fair debate if the numbers and books aren’t pre-cooked. I gave you sources for every number I cited. Which ones were "pre-cooked"? And you are welcome to present your own numbers and make your own arguments. I was responding to RZehr's argument that firearms pose a g...

Prior to the nation state, many nations did exist which weren’t subject to any empire at all, although they might have relations with one or more empires. This was still common even in Europe in the 1500s. Going back to the pre-1000s (prior to the Norman invasion), Great Britain and Ireland was effe...

I have yet to meet an Anabaptist anywhere that doesn’t think you need to be born again.

The single working women I know would much prefer to be married and be stay at home moms. Most single women I know take the opposite view. Apparently you and I know different women. I suppose I probably know younger women more in the age 25-45 age bracket. They might welcome marriage, but most woul...
