Non-belief in the Lord does NOT exemt one from his final judgement. I confess the sin of impatience in waiting to see that day.
Anyone wanna bet St. Peter has a southern accent and a shotgun in in the rack in his pickup?

These guys are total morons.
The United States has historically been a Christian nation.
The move towards no Christianity has been a recent development in our 228 year history.
Test question: name the religious war the US fought before having God stripped from public institutions?
Their position is based on a demonstrably false premise.

Test question: name the religious war the US fought before having God stripped from public institutions? I have an even more blasphemous question: Since its inception, what percentage of "religious wars" have not involved either the religion of Islam, or a flavor of Socialist Atheism (such as Communism or Nazism)?

Republicans need to understand that the separation of church and state has kept this country from getting into religious wars. ... In spite of what some people may believe we're in a religious war with Islam right now. Maybe all muslims aren't involved in this war, but this war involves religious muslims. All muslims aren't terrorist, but all terrorists are muslim.
If God was powerful, there would not be a need for the government to go in and force a religious agenda on nonbelieving citizens."
In case this guy hasn't gotten his clues yet, it's not our government whose trying to force a religious agenda upon us - it's muslims. And, the one thing that muslims hate is an an atheist, so guess who will be the first to go if they win.

which is that CONGRESS shall not establish a state religion. Not quite, it says: "Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion". The state religion at the time was Christianity. They just didn't want particular denominations using federal influence to force, coerce, or bully other denominations into worshiping God in the "right" way.

How about this... Have Congress make a law saying that currently-existing religiously related (list here) would be grandfathered (Godfathered?) from removal lawsuits, out of respect for the nation's Christian heritage.
Like any scriptures or commandments in government buildings (ACLU and 10 commandments stone), or depictions of the Christian cross in insignia (ACLU and the LA logo), or Christian symbols on public property (ACLU and the big cross on a hill), or the the mention of God in the Pledge of Allegience (Neudower(sp?) Supreme Court case), or the acknowledgement of Christian celebrations in public skewlz (ACLU vs. Christmas (holidays, carols, mentions), the display of Christian-related personal jewelry for public employees (ACLU vs. some nice lady in Pennsylvaia), or the phrase "In God We Trust) on money (future ACLU case).
Why is the ACLU so hostile towards Christians and, now, the Boy Scouts. What's next, apple pie?

But obviously there is a need to force the heathen agenda on believing citizens.
