if they don’t believe in God... what’s the problem?

would they be offended if i worshiped a rock?
should i be offended they don’t believe in the soul?

wouldn’t removing the phrase have more impact to those that believe it akin to turning their backs on God... then those that don’t believe at all?

don’t the number of people that believe in God FAR outnumber the paltry few that do not?

That’s the point.

If somebody truly did not believe in God, they wouldn’t be ‘offended’.

I think it’s the horrible, sneaking suspicion that they might be wrong that drives them to such insane depths of utter denial.

I don’t believe in UFOs but I couldn’t possibly care less if everybody else does and would never pitch a hissy fit every time War Of the Worlds comes on.

But they DO believe in God...they just don’t want to admit it to anyone else, or to themselves. You can’t despise that which you don’t think even exists.....

Good post!

These "atheists" do not speak for me.

I am completely indifferent to whether "In God We Trust" appears on the currency.

Now let me turn the question around.

We added "In God We Trust" to the dollar bill and "One Nation Under God" to the pledge, both in the mid fifties.

In what way has America become a more moral nation as a result? Does your God appreciate the difference between the slogans a nation mouths and the behaviors it exhibits??
