How do these Atheists know that God is a "mythological creature?"
doesn't matter... it doesn't belong in a state's legislation.
that's just full tilt bozo.

full tilt bozo.
Then I must be a very wise atheist.
Uh, no. Atheists ignore irrationalism and are therefore closed-minded.

How would you know what atheists think?
You're talking like a full tilt bozo.
How? I'm a Scientist. I've known many. Don't go 'full tilt bozo' on me.
I disagree. The Founding Fathers recognized the importance of God. By using the generic term 'God', there is no violation of the separation of Church and State. This is just another example of the misunderstanding of the writings of Thomas Jefferson. It does, however, expose the true motivation of the atheists in this case. They have closed their minds to God and call him a 'mythical creature', which is a huge assumption on their part.

The founding fathers also separated church from state...
But mostly, athiests get to do what they want, same as believers... but there's nothing separating a "lack of belief in G-d" from "state" in the constitution... it's a little stickier when we bring G-d into the mix.
It's not about whether we're talking about mythology or not... but it IS about what can be intertwined with our government. I'm pretty sure the good Kentucky Christians would be very cranky if they were faced with legislation saying "with the help of Allah....."... or "Hashem"... or.. well, you get the picture.
God is not a generic term. It is a Christian term used by a society predominantly Christian in a cultural way if not so much in a religious way.
Who cares if it is mythical or not. it does not belong anywhere where it challenges the sovereignty of the state.
Point well taken. God is a generic term. If they had said "Jesus" (or as you said, "Allah") that would be a different story altogether. To me, this is just another example of a frivolous lawsuit from extremists from the atheist camp.
Agree to disagree.
If God really wanted to protect this nation, imagine how easily he/she could have prevented 9/11 entirely.
I don't think that's how it works. We have freewill and God doesn't intervene just because something bad will result.
Of particular concern is a 2006 clause requiring the Office of Homeland Security to post a plaque that says the safety and security of the state "cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon almighty God" and to stress that fact through training and educational materials.
The plaque, posted at the Kentucky Emergency Operations Center in Frankfort, includes the Bible verse: "Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."
I disagree with you Amanda. God can and will intervene at His will. This I do know for I have a bit of personal experience in that area. I cannot say all will agree with that personal experience testimony but I can say I was there when God reached down and pulled a would be rapist off of me. The young man came very close to having his head blown off by the gun that I had recovered from underneath my mattress. Prior to pulling the gun out I had considered over and over in my own mind, "Thou shalt not kill."I don't think that's how it works. We have freewill and God doesn't intervene just because something bad will result.
