I think what's equivalent is that all individuals are imperfect and I base my assessment of people base on the person themselves, not by a group or one's definition or expressed perception of that group. Some atheists do engage in pedophilia while some support it. It doesn't mean all atheists condone it. What the Catholic church did from a bureaucratic standpoint was wrong. It doesn't mean Barrett condoned such actions.

I'm having trouble to see how an honest & fair critic can read into the whole speech and come out thinking she's a proponent for some kind of Christian theocracy. You have to deliberately disregard any context between private/personal & practice here, which even then wouldn't do it justice.
Public officials reference "God" as the primary driver in accomplishing their life's goals, becoming a more ethical person, etc. etc. This doesn't mean you're living in The Handmaid's Tale.
It'd be more worthwhile to pursue some of her legal rulings that'd substantiate viv's claim versus this route.

No, it means that congress doesn't need to go beg the Supreme Court to be allowed to use its political-power. Chances are, since the majority wants it, the end results of those cases would be enforced. You'll still have a federal government that prevents discrimination, it just wouldn't beg kritarchs to do so.
NightlyPoe said: Multiple news agencies are reporting that tomorrow afternoon, the president will nominate Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. This is not a surprising turn of events as she had already been a finalist for Justice Kennedy's seat to which Justice Kavanaugh was selected instead. Trump had allegedly stated later that he was saving her for Justice Ginsburg's seat and she'd become something of a favorite within conservative judicial after she weathered an attack from Democrats in her appeals court hearings based on her Catholic faith. |

No, being a bigot is being a bigot. Also being an asshole is being an asshole. She ticks both of those boxes. No judge is neutral, but being religious as opposed to irreligious is already a giant red flag. I'd rather have judges who base their opinions on evidence than faith. |
You mean you prefer judges who ground their opinion in non-religious ideology rather then faith? One always makes a desicion based on the evidence, with rational arguments founded on your ideological worldview. Being religious doesn't make you irrational, being irreligious doesn't make you rational.
Another one with prehistoric thinking, just what america needs...

Democrats are supporting riots? Can you provide a source to this claim?
Supporting protests is not supporting riots.
That would be like saying Republicans support police brutality if they support the police.

Which Democrats supported which criminal?
Which Democrats support violent revolutionary communists?

Not to mention all the Democrat politicians that have allowed the riots to expand by pulling back the police and not calling in the National Guard. Not to mention all the Democrat DAs who have made a deliberate decision not to charge rioters for their crimes. Not to mention the media reports that gaslight the nation calling the protests "mostly peaceful" even as scenes of arson, destruction, and violence are on the screen for all to see. |

I don't understand how you can say "I see arson on the screen" and conclude that the protests can't possibly be mostly peaceful. If 1000 people protest and one person lights a building on fire is the protest mostly peaceful? This is even taking out the fact that the bulk of protests for George Floyd's murder did not have any recorded violence, but I'll be charitable and assume you mean describing a single protest as "mostly peaceful" rather than the overall protests which have obviously been mostly peaceful.
