i can't convince you of anything, any of you..
If you can't even convince an atheist, you should really look into working on your approach. Really, you're not doing very well.
it wouldn't matter what site i put up.
this should be your slogan.
you are right. i am wrong.
I suppose it never occured to you that you
were wrong?
Listen, why don't you go do some investigation into the role the Christian religion has played in the creation and development of this country. If you do that, you'll discover this country is as
areligious as it has ever been since it's inception.
You'll discover the religious people of this country have been behind our most important liberal moves forward, from our form of limited government itself, to abolition, to civil rights, and so forth.
What you see is the erupting anger of a large segment of our population in response to what it correctly sees as the left's efforts to completely abolish religion from every aspect of public life, as it has been systematically doing for nearly 40 years now. For awhile the Christians have been taking it lying down. It looks like they've just about had enough doesn't it?
There is no separation of church clause in our Constitution nor did the writers of it intend there to be. There is a prohibition against the Government erecting a single state religious faith like Henry did with the Church of England. A state religion that would prohibit the exercise of differing faiths. If you truly believe a state religion is the President's aim, 1.) you haven't provided a shred of evidence to support your belief, 2.) you don't understand the mechanisms of the Federal Government, and 3.) you are quite conceivably delusional.
I am an atheist. There is no god in my Universe. The invocation on our money and in our courts is meaningless to me. But it does not offend me. I understand that the majority of my fellow Americans are Christians, and whether I like it or not this is a democracy, wherein the majority rules. They can believe whatever they like, I don't care. It doesn't bother me the President is open about his faith, I don't care. He doesn't like abortion? Well neither do I. We agree, that's enough for me. He thinks terrorists are evil and should be killed before they kill us? Me too. He thinks lowering taxes stimulates economic growth? That's a fact. He wants to provide matching federal funds to religious charities to help feed and clothe the poor, homeless, and malnourished? You seriously object to that? Just because you'd rather waste money to have that aid come out of a government building? I ask you, aside from burning more tax dollars, what is the difference?
No one is telling me what to believe. Is someone telling you?
