• Ariz. Lawmaker Surprises Colleagues, Comes Out as an Atheist While Delivering Daily Prayer

  May 24, 2013 at 4:42pm

  In reply to DeavonReye.

  Crazy stuff he’s spouting. Why would anyone think legislators should work together for the common good? Actually enjoying the experience of being alive?
  A righteous, true believer needs to beat the $#!( out of this idiot until he understands the goodness and compassion of god. If he would just accept what there is no evidence of he would know we’re supposed to be miserable in our time on earth. We have no choice but to behave poorly because we are sinful in nature. In short, we’re supposed to exercise our god given free will by doing exactly what we’re told.

  @ZOMBEE
  ” It takes as much faith for an atheist to believe there is no God as it does for a Christian to believe in God.”
  And how much faith does it take to not believe in a god? Note I did not say “believe there is no god”. There is not an equal chance for every possibility.

  “In the end will we know who was right and who was wrong. Which side will you err on?”

  If the atheist is correct, none of us will know who was right and who was wrong. We will all be dead and none the wiser.

• Why Is a Former Pastor Lashing Out Against Addition of ‘in God We Trust’ on County Seal?

  In reply to holy ghostbuster.

  Or “One nation, above Mexico”.
  Or even better, “Between a rock and a hard place”.

  In reply to Tri-ox.

  From Wikipedia…
  “Never codified by law, E pluribus unum was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act (H. J. Resolution 396), adopting “In God We Trust” as the official motto.”

  I think we lost a great motto when we abandoned E pluribus Unum.

• ‘Bible Is a Cheap Copy of the Koran’: Boston Bomber Suspect Allegedly Hurled Fiery Accusations About U.S. Foreign Policy and the Bible

  In reply to freedom888.

  @Vash,
  You did not read my entire post. I was attempting to get clarification as to the point Freedom888 was trying to make. I said myself that the new testament does not support killing.
  I’m not sure where you think there is a strawman argument.

  In reply to freedom888.

  Are you saying it’s not the policy of xtianity to kill innocent people? In general the new testement is against that. What is untrue is that xtians do not kill innocents. All you have to do is look at that bloodbath called Ireland to see that’s untrue. All sides were xtians and innocents were slaughtered repeatedly. I’m sure there are many more examples. I’m not trying to attack xtians but let’s not whitewash history.

• ‘Bible Is a Cheap Copy of the Koran’: Boston Bomber Suspect Allegedly Hurled Fiery Accusations About U.S. Foreign Policy and the Bible

  In reply to less-gun-control-ban-gun-free-zones.

  “What is not up for debate, is that public tax dollars should not be establishing Islam, with public tax dollars in the form of non-lethal or military aid that supports Islamic nations who design their governments to be a religion, ”
  Unfortunately, the religion demands that it be the government. If the majority of the people of a country are muslim they will agree to those terms. If we try to dictate otherwise we’re right back where we started with the people claiming we installed a puppet government. Inevitably we’ll see riots and instability in those countries. The people will then lend support for Al Qaida and eventually we’ll be seeing dead Americans either here or abroad.
  We’re between a rock and a hard place. The only hope is to somehow undermine the credibility of Islam. The west is still understandably fumbling for a solution and it may not come anytime soon. Unless we want to begin ethnic cleansing it isn’t going to be easy and many people will be killed/injured in the meantime.
  Secular governments are the only solution.

  “Based on the young man’s account, the alleged terrorist had issues with the U.S. government and its management of foreign policy issues.”

  Briliant solution. Next time we have an issue with a foreign governement we should blow the legs off some long distance runners. This sounds like the perfect defense. I want to hear how he’s going to word this in front of a judge/jury.

• Bizarre Trend: Atheist Sunday Morning ‘Worship’ Services Are on the Rise (Minus God, of Course)

  April 17, 2013 at 2:47pm

  In reply to oddball_1972.

  Unless I missed it, nowhere in the article did anyone attending or conducting the gatherings mention “worship”. That was tacked on by the writer as part of the title.
  It would be a mistake to think those who attend these gatherings considered what they are doing as any kind of worship. Besides being untrue, it invites others to mischaracterize the purpose of the meeting and the needs and intention of those attending.
  Those interviewed for the article were fairly clear as to why they attend. Not that you have done so but I see no reason anyone would heap abuse on a practice that can only be seen as positive. I’ll not be surprised to see some on this forum insist this is another example of atheists “worship” of themselves. No atheist I’ve ever met or read has said that.

• Dear Fellow Atheists: Stop Being Jerks

  April 11, 2013 at 8:16pm

  In reply to The Third Archon.

  Archon, I couldn’t agree more. Since reading the original article, I’ve been seething. This suckup, who somehow manages to call himself an athiest, seems to be trying to curry favor with someone. The fact that he’s employed as a republican consultant probably explains his efforts to contort himself into something unrecognizable.
  He has created a strawman argument (how novel) that claims atheists are stomping all over the rights of xtians everywhere. The atheists I know have no interest in interfering with the private practice of religion. We may think those who worship are deluded fools, wasting their life but we’re more than willing to allow them to do so. A secular government should be the default condition in this country. It is NOT an atheistic goal but rather one we should ALL embrace. What is it going to take for these xtians to finally understand that it is in their own best interest? When they are only 20 percent of the population and some other religion is throwing their weight around? It’s not about explicit church/state separation clauses in the constitution. It’s just plain logical that we run our government in a secular manner.
  Thank you for your posts. You’re willing to point out what so many can’t seem to grasp.
