My Christmas message? There's probably no God

More Americans should study Church History in Britain and Europe from about the 600s through the 1800s. A very healthy study which much better explains both respective theologies and governmental systems.

Hmmm ~ put all our issues in an English framework and they look pretty much the same. Typical "newsie" wants to kill all the babies and old folks (nonsubscribers, of course, lest you missed the discussion of motives), and let the Catholics take over the Crown ~ here, that takes the form of keeping the Holy Rollers out of government ~ too many Catholics to beat up on them any more than necessary ~ but still, there are targeted groups of Christians in both places, and the newsies are not really hot on letting Sarah Palin win elections elsewhere than Alaska.

Outside of the Constitution, and our single member districts (their "first past the post" system depends on such districts, so they are talking about the same thing), there's still not a lot of difference in the way these places the Brits founded are run.

Of course they should not be there, when only 16% of people will grace the pews on Christmas Day, and Christian Research forecasts church attendance falling by 90%.

Sir, I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on the increasing secularization of the American population, particularly the white population (per Pew).

” Typical “newsie” wants to kill all the babies and old folks “

Yeah, I saw that, rolled my eyes, and quit reading.

[Reaganesque]

The Left does not seek the separation of church and state, it seeks the elimination of religion from government and political discourse. If you listen to them talk, they have quite clearly stated that people who profess to be religious in the traditional sense are not worthy of the right to vote. They’re not smart enough, the Left tells us, so they shouldn’t have the rights everyone else (meaning those who the Left likes). So, when you hear a Leftist blathering on about the “separation of church and state,” realize that this is what they are really talking about.

[Question_Assumptions]

More people should study why Europe became a Christian place, who the early adopters were, and why. They should also study how many people died under atheist communist governments, too. They make the witch hunts and inquisitions that the anti-religious love to complain about look mild in comparison.

[muawiyah]

Pew has an axe to grind.

We just saw an example of how clearly intelligent the professional left is in this country ~ they gave all their money to Bernie Madoff!

Bwahahahahaha

[CIDKauf]

Tell them with James 1:27 “the most religious thing one can do is take care of widows and orphans”, and therefore the Social Security Admin. is unconstitutional.

[RichInOC]

Polly, were you born a miserable witch, or did it come along with the atheism?

[Reaganesque]

Our entire legal system is based on the Ten Commandments for Pete’s sake. That makes our system of government unconstitutional according to their definition.

“There’s probably no God”

Was God asked to participate in this poll?

[gwilhelm56]

If they gonna live their life as if there is NO GOD... they better HOPE there isn’t one.. or they may have some Explaining to do!

[JSDude1]

“The fool hath said in his heart: there is no God”.

[Free Vulcan]

It’s because Government is their religion and Government is a jealous god that tolerates no other gods before it.

[anniegetyourgun]

In the end, all will believe, but we are to make sure that takes place on this side of time and eternity.
