• Another Teen Atheist Successfully Gets 10 Commandments Removed at His High School

  May 14, 2013 at 10:51am

  I have a question or two (and an opinion):

  The title of this atheist organization (FFRF) argues for “Freedon From Religion”. Of course the US Constitution states “Freedom OF Religion” (see the 1st Amendment). Therefore, I am not certain of their position under law.

  Next, what is a “religion”? Most would argue that it is an organized adherence to a “belief system” of some sort re: a “Supreme Being”, or GOD. Since a “belief”, by definition, is not based on provable “fact”, it is what it is: acceptance as truth that which can’t be proven. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

  Since “theists” BELIEVE in God and “atheists” BELIEVE there is no God, both are “belief systems”. And, since the FFRF, indeed, is organized, isn’t it also a “religion” of sorts?

  Therefore, under the US Constitution they should be allowed to practice their “faith” the same as any theist religion. Further, the FFRF and all like it do not have the right to “infringe” on the US Constitution’s defined rights of any other group. By demanding that their “belief” is superior to another belief, the FFRF is going against the “Freedom Of Religion” clause of our Constitution.

  So, strictly speaking, all such law suits against the displays of “The Ten Commandments”, Christmas decorations, Menorah displays, etc., should be dismissed as frivolous and unconstitutional with all costs for such suits being borne by the bringer of the suit(s).

  Well, all I can say is God help our armed services men and women. They’ll, now, definitely need all the help they can get.

• S.E. Cupp Pulls Out of CPAC Until Groups Representing Gay Republicans Are Embraced

  Contray to many posts here S.E. deserves the right to express her opinions any way she sees fit. At least she is taking a stand for something in which she believes.

  For those who are steadfastly homophobic, I can only offer my condolences. I assume your positions stem from religious leanings and/or Bible teachings. Fine! But, which parts of the Bible do you accept or reject?

  This part: LEVITICUS (20:13) states, “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

  Or this part: The “Thou shalt not kill” commandment (i.e., Commandment V if you are Catholic, Commandment VI if you are Protestant or Jewish)?

  Be consistent in your faith at least.

• Fact Checking the Obama Admin’s Grim Sequester Predictions: Overblown or Truly a ‘Devastating List of Horribles’?

  February 26, 2013 at 8:13am

  With the “Sequester” keep in mind that the projected deficit this FY is $901B. So, the Sequester’s $85B “cut” is only a decrease of the amount we would have to borrow “over” the not-yet-authorized “budget”.

• Calif. Atheists Take a Swipe at Religion With This New Anti-God Billboard

  January 31, 2013 at 7:03pm

  Atheism is a belief system just as is any religion. An athesist “believes” there is no God. Others “believe” there is a God. Neither can “prove” their position. “Any intersection between belief and fact is purely coincidental.” Look up the words belief and fact in any dictionary.

• Could Science Ever Completely Eliminate God as an Explanation of Existence?

  September 20, 2012 at 8:54am

  Any intersection between faith/belief and fact is purly coincidental. Look up the words in a dictionary. Because one believes something is true does not make it true; nor if one believes something is not true does not make one correct.

• Liberal Editor Compares Immigration Announcement to Emancipation Proclamation on ABC — and Gets Refuted in Seconds

  June 18, 2012 at 2:38pm

  In reply to JJBlazeReader.

  Let’s get some actual history applied to the Emancipation Proclamation issued by A. Lincoln:
  It proclaimed the freedom of slaves ONLY in the ten Confederate states then in rebellion.
  The Proclamation did not compensate the owners, did not itself outlaw slavery, and did not make the ex-slaves (called freedmen) citizens. Slaves in the “Union” at that time were not freed by this.

  It was done via an Executive Order using Lincoln’s “War Powers”. Please, let’s not confuse this with Obama’s use of prosecutorial discretion – i.e., deciding not to prosecute illegal activity – even though Obama’s directive, like Lincoln’s, only affects a portion of the peoples involved. Obama’s seems much worse as it directly countered recent actions by Congress to not pass the so called “Dream Act”.

• Church Sign Goes Viral: ‘God Prefers Kind Atheists Over Hateful Christians’ (POLL)

  April 4, 2012 at 10:29am

  In reply to leprechaun224.

  SH3LLZ, You may have missed my point.
  Everyone should leave everyone else alone.
  What a person “believes” is not an issue.
  Anyone can “believe” what they choose.
  No one should be looked down upon based
  on what they believe – nor acted against.
  The old saying “Actions speak louder than
  words” seems appropriate here. The Golden Rule
  is most applicable.

• Church Sign Goes Viral: ‘God Prefers Kind Atheists Over Hateful Christians’ (POLL)

  April 4, 2012 at 8:36am

  Christians, as well as many others, “believe” there is a God.
  Atheists “believe” there isn’t.

  A definition of “believe”: The accepting of
  something as true without fact.

  A Christian can no more prove their point than
  can an atheist. So, get over yourselves and leave those
  who don’t “believe” as you do alone.
