I have a little proposition for all of those who would love to see God and
Christianity as far away from America as possible. People would love to
deny America's roots and in part why it was founded to jump on a new
bandwagon of banning the ten commandments near courthouses and trying to
take God out of the pledge of allegiance.
If you are so up in arms about this whole dispute, I urge you to boycott
anything that has direct ties to both God and Country at the same time. I
hope you remember to check out your loose change and dollar bills before
taking me up on this, because "In God we Trust" is printed on all currency
(money for the libs who weren't sure what I was talking about). So do you
think you can do it? Do you think you can boycott money too? Since you
will have all this extra time on your hands, check out some of our first
documents, (mayflower compact for example), and try and tell me that God
wasnt deeply rooted in the founding of our country, far before a granite
monument was erected outside of a courthouse.

OK, I've been reading your friendly posts now for a while and have
decided to give you a piece of my mind.
First of all, for me, all being an atheist means is that I do not
hold as true all of that superstitious, silly, and delusional god stuff
that you keep stuffed in your head.
Now, that being said, on a somewhat related tangent, I do not like
assholes; xian, jewish, new-ager, satanist, tree-kisser, whatever. You,
sir, are an *****, and would surely remain an ***** regardless of
what fantasy you might grasp that keeps you hating folks who don't
swallow your version of false reality. So, since no one really likes
assholes, could you kindly ***** to your little sub-group of
invisible sky pixie ***** kissers.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Guess what troll, atheists have a better idea. Replace 'In God We
Trust' with what was originally there, 'E pluribus unum' or Out of
many, one.

America's roots are in Christianity? "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof" is such a simple concept.
http://www.nobeliefs.com/Tripoli.htm
"Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his
January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist
Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State."
Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded. . . is the separation
between religion and government in the Constitution of the United
States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation
from our Founding Fathers."
If you are so up in arms about this whole dispute, I urge you to boycott
anything that has direct ties to both God and Country at the same time.
Ooo, nobody's EVER come up with that idea before.
I
hope you remember to check out your loose change and dollar bills before
taking me up on this, because "In God we Trust" is printed on all currency
(money for the libs who weren't sure what I was talking about). So do you
think you can do it? Do you think you can boycott money too?
Here's a better idea: keep your religious nonsense off my money.
Since you
will have all this extra time on your hands, check out some of our first
documents, (mayflower compact for example), and try and tell me that God
wasnt deeply rooted in the founding of our country, far before a granite
monument was erected outside of a courthouse.
So in your opinion, "freedom of religion" means "you're free to allow
me to plaster my religious slogans all over the place, and I'm free to
ignore your objections."

I think it was Oscar Wilde who observed America is the only country
that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
While that may not be true, perhaps similarly it may be possible to
move from religiosity to polite indifference without an intervening
gap of a state religion, which as you say would probably result in
quite a lot of spilt blood.

England had a state religion. America doesn't. We need more religion in

Tell that to your mommie.

You people control the country. So much so that you think you can control
individual people. And you want *more*?

For me, I am a rabid atheist, but I have no problem with Christianity in
America... as long as they stay within the boundaries of the Church or
in the Christian home. I also have no problem with Judaism, as long as
it stays within the boundaries of the Synagogue and in the Jewish home.
I also have no problem with Islam, as long as it stays within the
boundaries of the Mosque and in the Muslim home.
And so on.

I wouldn't say I'm "rabid," but pretty close. I do, however, feel much the
way you do. I have met some pretty damn nice Christians in my day. In fact,
they're so nice at times, that I'm almost embarrased (I said, "almost") to
reveal that I'm atheist to them. They're so damn "wholesome." But I think we
both know what we're talking about here. The "true" Christians have been
out-muscled by the Nazi-types who feel no guilt or remorse, in lying, being
deceitful, malicious, and a host of other ill things. And all, so they say,
for the "greater glory of God". (As if "He" needed any.) The religious right
simply has no shame. And let's face it: They could give a **** about any
other religion. They're self-centered, self-righteous, and self-labotomized.
So they must, in my opinon, be viciously attacked (theologically wise)
whenever possible. Like you say, if the religious-minded folk want to
practice their heart-felt faith at their local church, mosque, or synagogue,
more power to em.' We can always respectfully disagree in the arena of
public opinion. But when they start clamoring for political power to the
detriment of all others, its time to put a stop to their madness.

Greywolf
I want to stress something here to anyone who might question my atheism
because of stuff like, 'As if "He" needed any' in the above. I do stuff like
that all the time. What I was trying to intimate here was, "If there
'really' is a God, what in the hell would he need more glory for?" Whenever
it appears that I seem to indicate a belief in God, believe me, I'm being
facetious. That said, I will also add that I respect (and even admire)
people who I perceive to be 'true' Christians. These are 'good' people in
the very best sense of the word. I don't think we atheists ought to despise
such people. Disagree with them? You bet. But respectfully. The trash that
calls itself the religious right ... well that's a whole different story.
They need to be put in their place - on every level imaginable.

Mighty white of you. I'm an atheist as well, but I am also proud to say
that I am strong believer in liberty and in its embodiment in the US
Constitution. A pity that you're not. I say that people should feel free
to practice whatever religion they want wherever they want, subject to the
lone restriction that when acting as part of our government they do not do
anything "respecting an establishment of religion." If a Xian wants to
preach on a street corner, for example, I'm glad to see that they have the
freedom to do so. Restricting religious practice to home or a house of
worship may be what you desire, but I'm glad as hell that you don't make the
rules!

book, that I'm going to suffer and burn and be tortured simply because I
do not believe as they do, that I'm accosted nearly every day by people
using God to advance their own agendas (the homeless man on the street
with "Out of work; Need money; God bless" scrawled on cardboard) and so
forth.
If they kept their religions to themselves and followed their teachings
(pray in private, for example), I'd have no problems.

Yeah but if we're going to maintain a free society, we have to put up with
a lot of, well, crap.
It's like Usenet. Most of it is just garbage but there are those rare
corners that are quite interesting...
