"The Founders knew what it meant to have a state church and legislative prayer doesn't come close," said Eric Rassbach, deputy general counsel at the Becket Fund.

Liberals believe in "(D)evolving" interpretations.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
—Matthew 24:36-44

These atheists are arguing against the design of America. It was designed to be a free expression zone with adults recognizing that folks have differences.

They don’t want free expression, they want controlled expression.

They want to change the design to controlled expression where a big government tells everyone the allowed ways to express oneself.

The original design is a whole lot easier and vastly more free. The atheist design change calls for thought police and thought policing. The people for the American way aren’t. They are the people for the north Korean way.

“A religious vacuum in a sentient human is impossible.”


Nonsense. I do understand your POV. I think there is a “god gene” in many of us, as we are descended from successful human communities in which the concept of God or Gods played a big role. Those who didn’t believe were less likely to thrive and reproduce. That said, I think that very likely some people were born without that gene or (group of genes) and supported the idea of God to be like everyone else. Today, there’s a choice and some people choose not to believe.

denial. denial denial

a worldview that is godless is not neutral in content or consequences for the individual or the society in which he lives. ditto for the God centered worldview,

religious neutrality is an impossible state to achieve

nearly all government action has religious consequences,therefor it should be as limited and locally controlled as possible.
