I'm beginning to think that atheists have a knee-jerk-offense-taking syndrome.

"Bush's comments were divisive, they say, and an insult to those who don't believe in religious creeds or a deity."
Tell it to Honest Abe. He said pretty much the same thing as Bush.

The fact that Ms. Johnson and Mr. Silverman are "offended" blowhards offends me. But it's ok to offend people who believe in G-d. What chutzpah!!

Good. I'm glad they're offended. I hope they shed many tears over this.

Why are they offended, really? Because it profits them.

Funny, I never hear these folks complain about all the Democrats who use black churches for political rallies and invoke pseudo-religious rhetoric every election cycle.

I can't imagine someone being president of the United States who is not a Republican. Divisive? Maybe.

Everytime I see President Bush's comment twisted to suggest he said religion should be a requirement to be POTUS I want to bang my head against the wall. Or bang their heads against the wall.

An atheist group is criticizing President Bush for saying he can't see how one can be president without a relationship with the Lord. Am I to presume, then, that Atheists would prefer a President who thinks he is God, then?
Maybe that's why they supported John Kerry...

I've never encountered anyone who proselytizes as much as some atheists.

"The same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought" -- the president was speaking in Washington -- "are still at issue around the globe: the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God."
John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address
1/20/1961
"We believe, that all men have a right to equal justice under law and equal opportunity to share in the common good. . . . We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God. From this faith we will not be moved. . . .
Harry S. Truman
Inaugural Address
1/20/1949
"Our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger. . . . Almighty God has . . . given our people stout hearts and strong arms with which to strike mightily blows for freedom and truth. He has given to our country a faith which has become the hope of all peoples in an anguished world."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Final Inaugural Address
1/20/1945
