If this was the fellow yelling, "Put it back!", he did not advance his cause at all. Give me the folks laying down and praying silently any day. The screamer was obnoxious, even if sincere.

"Did they take this man's Bible too? No, didn't think so..." No, but scary as the thought is, that just might very well be next.

It also shows that this "crusade" actually is not about "states' rights" however much some people want to pretend that it is.

The currrent Alabama governor is trying to raise taxes to provide for the poor.Yeah, right. The Democrats say the same thing all of time. They have been raising taxes without cease. Seems like we should have less poor. We don't.

I did notice that there were other protesters near him moving him back from the steps and trying to calm him down. I remember him yelling at them, "DON'T TOUCH ME," but if they'd let him go, he probably would've done something to get himself arrested. I hope, once he calms down, he thanks them.

..."This is a tremendous victory for the rule of law and respect for religious diversity," the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State...
So spoke the commie.
To: Lazamataz
law really did start with the 10 Commandments.Ever hear of Hammurabi?
To: Lazamataz
With the exceptions of thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal, the rest of the commandments are more like laws the Taliban would enforce.

That's just silly. Nobody's coming for your Bible, and nobody's coming to shut down your church. You do your cause no good whatever with statements like that. Reasonable people are well aware that your Bible and your church are the targets of nobody.
You can have your Bible, or your Quran, or your book of Satanic Spells. Nobody cares one bit. You can have your church, if you can get enough folks to keep it open. Nobody cares.

You believe in the god of thought known as 'atheism', which is a religion. Therefore, you are religious.
One question.
How can you be 'against' something if that 'something' does not exist? 'Against' must, by reason and quite necessarily, have a referential point, i.e. 'that/he/she/it/they' which it is 'against'. Accordingly, the thing/entity/argument that atheism is 'against' is precisely: God.
Therefore, even for the atheists such as yourself (although they refuse to see it or ascertain it through spiritual or sensory modes), God exists.

Hammurabi was more the grandfather of eastern collectivism.
The Ten Commandments are the foundation of western civilization.

"You believe in the god of thought known as 'atheism', which is a religion. Therefore, you are religious."
That's a common misconception. I believe in no gods whatever, nor do I believe in any supernatural entities of any kind. I have a disbelief, not a belief. I have no religion of any kind. I worship at no altar of any kind.
I have reverence for the Constitution of the United States, and am very glad to have been born in this nation instead of many of the other nations of the world. My feelings for that document is about as close as I come to worship.
Atheism is not a religion. There are no beliefs involved in being an atheist. None. It is simply a disbelief in deities and supernatural entities. Nothing more.

Maybe this is the rule of law and the marker should be removed...but that doesn't explain why I feel badly about it. Why is it that we Americans have to kow-tow to people who come from foreign countries who tell US they are bothered by OUR religious beliefs and symbols and that WE have to refrain or remove our symbols while THEY get to practice their religion in front of OUR face? What's next? Our currency?

And with them, the idea that there are concepts which transcend the authority of the State.
Blessings of the State upon thee! Blessings of the Masses upon thee! Buy more! Buy now! Buy more now! Spend, consume, and enhance they credit rating, and fret not for the morrow, for the morrow is not now, and now is all that ever was, that is, or that shall ever be!
To: MineralMan
But there must be the pre-existence of the object of your disbelief, correct, for you to disbelieve it? Correct? Otherwise, how do you explain the concrete manifestation, even if in an epistomological mode, of God or gods who is/are to be disbelieved?

Atheism does not mean "against God." The prefix a- signifies "without" not against. Look it up. The prefix that means "against" is anti-

That Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother stuff is sooooo repressive. Besides, I like committing adultry. And isn't coveting your neighbors stuff just, like, cool? And lying is really important to make it in today's society.
I can see where you're coming from.
