Do you realize that the last time we put religion in power, they started
burning people? The whole point of the First Amendment to the Constitution
is to prevent people like you from attacking other countries because "God
told you so." Both sides justify their beliefs based on the fact that they’
re right, that they’re correct, that they have moral authority on their
side … and that’s a problem.
People like you that believe God should be in controle of EVERYTHING is one
cause of terrorism. When you have a problem like this, you’ve got to define
the term in such a way that everybody can agree this is something we ought
to work to end. As long as you have hypocrisy in the definition, each side
laughs at the other side’s hypocritical attempts to end terrorism, which are
in fact just a hypocritical attempt to ensure that the people who oppose
them will be eradicated.
You know, the Germans marched into Belgium under the banner, "God is with
us." The minute you come up with the idea that one side has moral authority
and the other side doesn’t, you’ve created a situation in which terrorism
can never be defined because there are always going to be people who feel
oppressed, and those people who feel oppressed are going to feel justified
in responding to that oppression in a violent way. Take a look at Israel.
Most of the suicide bombings occur due to RELIGIOUS conflict.
Being religious is fine, but do NOT expect the rest of the world, and
especially in our democracy, the GOVERNMENT to believe in your God.

called by some "Tecumsech Sequoia" <z@msn.com> came forth and told
this tale in alt.atheism
The worst of the Liberals are in Iran where they where those who don't
recognize the power of God are finally being brought to task.

Something similar is needed in the States. democRATs should not be
allowed
to
run for office without approval from the Church in order to keep our
country
holy.
The Constitution of the United States, Article VI Clause 3:
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of
the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial
Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall
be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no
religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office
or public Trust under the United States."
The First Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Which makes your proposal fundamentally un-American in the extreme.
Our founders foresaw idiots like you, and made sure that you peddlers
of myth can't take over the nation.
Don't like it? Leave.

Now you are completely distorting what I am saying - which you clearly
find
necessary to make your argument. I am simply making the modest proposal
that
Church leaders should decide who should be able to run for office. I am
not
proposing that there be any religious test. The leaders may even allow a
few
people of other faiths to run.
How could any true American not believe we need to protect our country
from
heathens and atheists? The Constitution is not a suicide pact! In God we
trust.

I'm quoting the Constitution. Don't like it? Tough. Read your own
subject line: "Liberals should not be allowed to run for office" It's
clear that you only want your church to decide who runs and who
doesn't. Right now, to keep their tax-exempt status, churches have to
stay out of the political process, and that is a good thing.
Tell me, if a church decides to allow two liberals to run, what are
you going to do then?
And what church? If you are going to make this a law, it will be
unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Saying that only the RCC
can approve nominees will be an establishment of religion.
How could any true American not believe we need to protect our country from
heathens and atheists? The Constitution is not a suicide pact! In God we
trust.
I'm an atheist, a veteran, and have run for public office (local
school board, and I came in second out of five.) "Atheists and
heathens" are Americans, and enjoy all the rights and duties that
title carries.
Did you know the Army has Wiccan chaplains now? Six of them, one is
deployed in Iraq right now.
We have survived 227 years with our current system. We're doing fine.
You are free to vote as your conscience and faith tell you too, and I
am free to vote my way. It's called the democratic process. If you
want a nation where the church controls who can hold office, might I
suggest Iran? They just had an election last year, and the Mullah's
council has decided that none of the reformers would be allowed to
take their seats.. despite the overwhelming will of the majority of
Iranian voters!

Phony Straw Man.

Oh, Yeah, forgot, didn't you ?
