Given the chance, I'd ask Ms. Johnson if she had a problem reading and comprehending the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Actually, I'd prefer to tell her to get buggered, but I think the other thing would serve the purpose just as well.
Also Bush should completely stop all of the churches and religious charaties from helping, give all the money back, and you know what... I think we have to have Senate hearings on how they were ever allowed to get this far in the first place. /moonbat-hat
If they keep getting their way soon America will not recognize God and they will have their way. Without God's protection we are open to vast calamity. To the extent we have left Him we have been judged. The plain truth is that we need His protection. Without it we are doomed.
he should tell them to "go to hell"
Isn't it odd how bloody smart we are today? Not one of the Founding Fathers, including Mr. Thomas Jefferson, Saint of the Left, ever objected to prayers starting Congress, or prayers starting the Supreme Court, or children learning how to read and write from prayerbooks and the McGuffy Reader, which used Scripture to teach the same basic skills. None of the Founders ever did anything to suggest that prayer and Scripture in the schools or the government was wrong. But this gentleman of questionable intelligence is SOOOOO much smarter than they are, that he can reverse-engineer the Constitution so it proves something that would have sounded like the most abject nonsense to everyone who put their names to the Declaration, or worked to create the Constitution.
He should thank the God he wants to banish from our shores that those brave men created a country where this kind of bull pucky is given twelve lines in a newspaper. Bonehead!
Ask her that question after she goes through a cat 4 hurricane and 10 foot floods of a toxic brew.
One entry found for religion.
Main Entry: re·li·gion
Pronunciation: ri-'li-j&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English religioun, from Latin religion-, religio supernatural constraint, sanction, religious practice, perhaps from religare to restrain, tie back -- 4 : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
This is from Merriam Webster. I thought I heard recently that atheism was declared a religion. I could be wrong so someone help me here. Nevertheless, atheism is a set of beliefs. It is just a set that choses not to believe in God so it should technically qualifies as a religion. In which case, eliminating God from public life is an endorsement of a religion. Now what?
Ok, I just heard a great joke from a freeper I love that is appropriate for this thread!
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods.
What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers!
What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky: "You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the BEAR a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:
"Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."
The Atheist Taliban enforcing their religion on the rest of America.
There is nothing more annoying than a born again athiest.
She's just proven she's wrong about at least 2 things...
i find that the American Atheists (the organisation) does not represent the thoughts of most Atheists i have ever known. They do seem to spend quite a bit of time and resources making ridicle of something they profess not to believe.
I think you all missed the funniest part. The bottom of the article says
"Those wishing to contribute to hurricane relief efforts can donate to the Salvation Army online or by calling 1-800-725-2769. Red Cross donations can be made online or by calling 1-800-435-7669."
Hmmm ... no athiests?
It would be easy to say this is idiotic (because it is).
But, as I have always said to people who would call themselves atheists: "You don't think God exists? For your sake, you'd better be right."
