There is far too much evidence on my side to put into play the claim that I “lied.”
I have never resorted to the “victim” ideology of the liberals as you so ineptly claim. I simply state facts.
While no president has ever admitted to being an atheist, there are far too many facts supporting the assumption that some were. Splitting hairs is not the issue. I would rather have an atheist, deist, naturalist or other “iest” as president than a bloody damn Communist. That is the fundamental difference between left and right!

Then let’s see this alleged “far too much evidence”.

And having an atheist is closer to communist, ideologically; that’s what the quote from The Naked Communist in the first post is meant to illustrate. Look up what the Founding Fathers said about the Constitution.

I don’t have to look anything up.I am well versed in the issues you are so arrogantly ill informed about. Get off your holier-than-thou attitude and you might find more acceptance.

Coocoo’s nest. Atheists are just another brand of nutcases with lobby in Congress, much alike gays or AIDS activists etc.

I wouldn’t trust a Gallup Poll. The idiots that answered “yes” to this question probably don’t even know what “atheist” means or what an atheist represents.

Polls are rigged because they ask clueless or ignorant people trick “yes” or “no” questions that always lead them to the result they desire like “Would you vote for an atheist president if he gave you fifty dollars”.

I wonder how many of those polled were registered voters who voted in the last election?

Yep polls suck like John Roberts did today.

Just another sign of the complete collapse of what is left of this nation...it is truly no longer America, that was killed. This is a perversion of what once was.

Adams was wrong.

And Huckabee is a perfect example of what *I* consider someone who wants a theocracy- in the sense that he regards government as a means of promulgating or at least favoring one particular religion. Are you really saying that there are no people of any faith in this country who want to use the power of government to impose their view of moral behavior according to their faith?

You calling me a troll is the biggest lie on this site. You will definitely regret it. I may be a relative newbie, but there are far too many TRUE conservatives here who are on the same side I am.
Frankly, you appear to me to be one of those egomaniacs who are constantly posting highly controversial subjects not in an effort to educate people, nor to promote understanding of issues, but to GARNER HIGH NUMBERS OF RESPONSES to FEED YOUR EGO.
I was invited to this site by long time FReepers, so be careful where you tread and who you accuse.

Don’t make them regret it.

True conservatives do not reject facts. And the fact is that there has been no atheist presidents in this country’s history. Lincoln was certainly not one; he was an unaffiliated Christian as Jefferson was.

Several are highly questionable and THAT is FACT!
As far as you inferring that there might be some reason for my supporters to regret inviting me, you are the one full of hot air, and I have been a conservative for sixty years which is probably too high for you to count!

“Questionable” is not “fact”; it’s “questionable”. And that is backpedaling.

If you’ve been a “conservative for sixty years”, you should sound a lot calmer than me even in writing.

I don’t trust Gallup either. The rotten thing is how they would influence the gullible with what they deem “results”.

Roberts’ actions today were treasonous. He utterly violated all aspects of his judicial oath, particularly “without respect to persons” and “faithfully and impartially”.

You are dyed in your conviction which is faulty to say the least. Far too many historians question several presidents’ true affiliations for you to declare anything fact. Of course, up until the destruction underway at the present time of Christianity in this country, no one would ever ADMIT to not being Christian. It would have been the death knell to their political careers. Even Obama claims to be Christian which he is obviously not!
Calmer is not a state which can be discerned through writing. You are undoubtedly referring to my ability to express myself with proper grammar and proper vocabulary, rather than try to make a point as you do by ranting and raving about “knee-jerk liberals” or “Comic Books.” Your limitations are obvious.

“Far too many historians” but won’t name any. There are far too many revisionists out there that call themselves “historians” who exist only to slander.

Obama I agree with as far as not Christian—but the issue here is not “not Christian” but atheist. Obama has shown too strong of an affinity towards one particular religion to actually be atheist, frankly.

That is if you accept Islam as a Religion when in actuality it is a political movement with World Conquest as its agenda.

The “Revisionists” are doing a slam bang job on the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia under which my ancestors fought. Take your wrath out on them!

You might find some people here would prefer a Muslim to a atheist. In their mind a Muslim is wrong, while an atheist (whatever they think that is) is not even wrong.

If an atheist president would adhere strictly to the Constitution, I’d have no problem with him being there. All we want are the freedoms that have been promised to us — the ones that are being wiped out every day. If an atheist president would protect the freedoms, that would be fine. He has a right to be an atheist; that’s what America promises, and I respect that. (He’ll burn in hell, but that’s his choice.) By the same token, I have a right to be a Christian and worhip freely.

I’d rather have an atheist president who protects the Constitution than a Baptist president who was wishy-washy on the Constitution.
