Are y'all anti-all religions, or only Christianity? I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "So
many Christians, So few lions." I suppose it takes no balls to attack Christians. I wonder why I've never seen a bumper sticker saying, "So many Muslims, So few virgins." In fact, I've seen very little of atheists taking action against Muslim activities. Are atheists mostly just afraid of Muslims? Or, is the Muslim God OK with atheists? |

What most atheists are against is not religion, per se, but religion that tries to force itself down the throat of non-believers, either directly or indirectly, or religion that uses government or government facilities to further...religion. Oh...the "Muslim" god is the same being as the Christian god and the Jewish god. Muslims are monotheistic. Muslims consider Abraham, Moses and Jesus as prophets of the same god your church venerates. Oh, and didn't you go to college? Apparently you are not aware that Muhammad is not the god of Muslims, but simply their main man prophet. |

In fact, I've seen very little of atheists taking action against Muslim activities. Are atheists mostly just afraid of Muslims? Or, is the Muslim God OK with atheists? Just where are atheists "taking action" against Christians? Is that your posit because they don't want Christians forcing their beliefs on them? You are just too narrow minded. I'll bet you'd have a fit if someone tried to celebrate a Buddist holiday instead of Christmas, eh? I guess that if you want to believe that some god made everything in the universe and beyond, and it's only 4000 years old,etc. One has to wonder why, when there are starving people, greedy people, crime, war, murder, rape, on and on do you alleged Christians make excuses like God works in mysterious ways? If Christianity is THE religion, then WHY do the concepts of heaven, hell, eternal life, etc., all predate Christianity as does a savior-god who died and was resurrected? Lying and deceiving is part of the Christian evangelic tradition, which started with the founder of Christianity, Paul. Every method of trickery is employed to catch the gullible, the poor, and the ignorant. The missionary is a vulture preying on the destitute and the disadvantaged. Did you not read what the bumper sticker said? I said nothing good or bad about Christianity. I asked a very simple question about the atheist mentality. Perhaps Kevin, it was too difficult for you to understand. |

Have you paid your taxes yet? Is being a deadbeat good for your serenity? |

Understanding that you lack any common sense and require remedial education, Christianity is the dominant religion in the US. Anything that's dominant will attracted detractors, even if in small percentages. Loud mouth extremists always get the attention. Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and Victoria Jackson, for instance. The war on christmas is a ginned up bunch of bull****, btw. |

Have you paid your taxes yet? Is being a deadbeat good for your serenity? I assumed the bumper sticker that offended you was one you saw locally. I haven't read of any significant cases in this country in which Muslims have tried to force their religious beliefs on others, but there are plenty of instances and cases in this country in which Christians have forced their religious beliefs onto those who don't share those beliefs. In the United States, it is christians who work at forcing their beliefs onto the population. I have seen more than a few devout Muslim women at Tysons' Corner Shopping Center wearing the traditional head and face covering. I didn't notice any of their spouses or brothers confronting non-Muslim women and forcing them to cover up. I've talked to Muslims while in DC, while on the Metro or in museums. None of them asked me if I'd "been saved." When I was consulting at ULLICO, I used to talk almost every day to the well-dressed Black Muslims hawking their newspapers and pies on the corner across the street, and even got the building management to allow them into the lobby and the restroom there. On the other hand, I have frequently been "confronted" by christians seeking converts, and annoyed by christians trying to pass laws to restrict practices they claim are anathema to their religion. For those christians, there are not enough lions. You're a racist turd, herring. And you're easy. |

I'm not anti religious at all, not yours, nor anyone else, but I am a *really* strong proponent of the separation of church and state. The founders of this great country were all too familiar with state sponsored religion and wanted no part of it here, and for really good reasons. The first amendment did not happen by accident. There is no place for Sharia law in this country, not the Papal version, not the Islamic version, or any other version. It is my personal opinion that any church which tries to influence legislation or any other governmental process should have their tax exemption revoked. The subversion of the Republican Party by religious zealots will ultimately lead to its downfall, and what a pity that will be. Where else will we find fiscal responsibility? From Wikipedia and Thomas Jefferson regarding separation of church and state: === In the United States, the term is an offshoot of the phrase, "wall of separation between church and state", as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. The original text reads: "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State." Jefferson reflected his frequent speaking theme that the government is not to interfere with religion.[7] The phrase was quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1947.[8] The phrase "separation of church and state" itself does not appear in the United States Constitution. The First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." === |

For those christians, there are not enough lions. You're a racist turd, herring. And you're easy. Oh...I was going to attach this, but forgot: Roman Catholic Bishops Call for Prayers against Marriage Equality - December 7, 2012 The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a new call to pray to address “life, marriage and religious liberty concerns.” San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said discriminating against LGBT people in marriage was somehow fundamental to the good of society. Cordileone, who was a leading architect of the Prop 8 campaign in California, recently said people simply “don’t understand” what marriage is. Among the items outlined by the bishops is a second “Fortnight for Freedom” planned for June – likely when the Supreme Court will be ruling on marriage equality. Cordileone and other bishops continue to push anti-LGBT sentiments in the Roman Catholic Church despite the fact that a large majority of Catholics support marriage equality – likely because they are guided by the Golden Rule that calls on people to treat others in accordance with how they’d like to be treated. --- **** you, Archbishop Cordileone. Push whatever you want in your church, but don't push your church onto our civil society. |
