I saw that attributed to him recently somewhere else.
I'm running into this problem with my brother, who suddenly (and surprisingly) has gone WAY out into this ultra-religious conservative lifestyle. He's texting me bible verses all the time, tells me he doesn't believe in proven scientific theory. I'm a slightly left-leaning moderate, but he is just incredulous that I could be anything but staunchly conservative on every single issue (gun control, gay marriage, religious freedom, etc). He thinks his religion is THE religion and that other religions and beliefs SHOULD take a back seat to Christianity and that this extends into government. In his mind, if you're not Christian (or even the right kind of Christian) then your basic human rights don't matter. He's making his 4-yr-old daughter memorize a bunch of bible verses and is planning to home school her because the public schools are "too liberal."
I don't understand what happened - he's a completely different person than who I grew up with. Anyway, he fits into your quote.
"A lot of so-called conservatives don't know what the word means. They think I've turned liberal because I believe a woman has a right to an abortion. That's a decision that's up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the Religious Right." - Barry Goldwater
But the current Christian right was not to Goldwater's liking. He had no use for its doctrinaire style. In the end, he was a libertarian, for abortion rights, for gay rights – a Goldwater grandson is homosexual.
I'm completely opposed to selling automatic rifles. I don't see any reason why they ever made semiautomatics. I've been a member of the NRA; I collect, make and shoot guns. I've never used an automatic or semiautomatic for hunting. There's no need to. They have no place in anybody's arsenal. If any SOB can't hit a deer with one shot, then he ought to quit shooting. – Barry Goldwater
I found it on wikiquote. He has a couple of other quotes on the same subject:
I'm experiencing this with my best friend. He's gone off of the rails.

Maybe he's joined CHRISIS (ie Christian ISIS).
Just wait until a religious whack job somewhere in the world gets a nuke. This is the major reason I am so anti religious. Imagine if Pakistan goes full retard. The world will end and it will end based on made up BS written 1000's of years ago.

Please let this quote be accurate.
I have friends from college who are twins. One of them has become a very religious person and the other is more like I remember in college. I have to very careful when I'm responding to them because I can't tell them apart. I once posted something on one's Facebook page with a curse word in it and he almost blocked me. Oh well, as my 6th grade teacher used to say, "everything in moderation."I'm experiencing this with my best friend. He's gone off of the rails.
Some of the meanest, most cold hearted mother f'ers I've ever met ended sentences with "praise the lord"
Religion needs to go if humankind is to have any chance at surviving itself in the next 150 years.
It is retarding our intellectual growth.
If your brother is saying things to you because he wants you to be saved then realize it is because he loves you. If he has grabbed onto just religion then there can be a problem because pride can get into his heart. It really depends on where he is coming from doesn't it? Just love him the best you can and good luck.I saw that attributed to him recently somewhere else.

I wonder what Barry's view of abortion was? If you believe life starts at conception then how can you compromise? I am all for compromise. And since I am married it has been very important for our marital survival. But aren't there some things we can't compromise on?Please let this quote be accurate.
What is your friend's marital sitch?

Married for 10 years
Sorry Moops. Looks like you're SOL with this one.
I knew this was coming when I wrote the questions. But didn't want to elaborate to why as much as get a response.
Or it's because he's a narcissistic, judgemental douchebag.If your brother is saying things to you because he wants you to be saved then realize it is because he loves you.

The bible doesn't mention abortion at all. Of course they didn't, because they were a bunch of uneducated ignorant slaves and had no idea of advanced medical techniques. They didn't know crap about anything. Anyone using 3000 year old stories made up by ignorant slaves for wisdom, or morality, should probably slam their heads into concrete.
“When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon; and he shall pay as the judges determine. If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth...“--Exodus 21:22-24
God is based on Babylonian slavemasters. That's why he's so irrational, illogical and incompetent.
That is a crock of shit based on ignorant, arrogant self-deification. Keep feeding it to yourself and your flock and face the consequences of its malnourishment.
Good God, are you a complete and utter stupid jackass. Please go away.Jesus is an amalgamation of diety stories prior to Jesus for thousands of years.
Horus is the one most frequently mentioned and he was about 900 years before Christ.
You're on the right track, but still off by a bit. The Babylonian captivity is a major part of how God is portrayed in the Bible, but it's not that he was modeled off of Babylonians. Rather, the Jews had to come up with an explanation for why their country had been destroyed, so that's how God got his vengeance and fetish for making his children suffer, and that's why the entire history of the Jews is replete with them turning their backs on God at the slightest provocation.LOL .. Or what, is he gonna get pissed and turn me to salt? Or torture me for an eternity like loving Fathers do their children. Or will he flood the world again except for one family only because the rest wouldn't listen like slaves are supposed to? Speaking of complete crock of shit. God apparently didn't know crap about DNA testing did he. What a fraud.
Yes, yes, I know. I've seen the meme that you found on Facebook last week. So what? This thread was about Goldwater, and you did what you always do, find a way to go on an anti-religion screed. You move around so fast, it's impossible to have a conversation with you. You're too arrogant to have a real conversation, anyway, so that's probably not a loss. We'd all be a lot better off if you would just go away. For good. Thanks.so this globe of ours is has a surface area of ~197M sq. miles. (509MsqK)
...god being the all powerful and is said to be Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent.
Yet only what is about the area of 4 of our states is where he was known and where all these so-called miracles of his were performed. ...and christians buy that.
