Acts of Terrorism the Ultimate "Faith-Based Initiative"?I feel like giving them a foot-based initiative right in the groin for saying that...
If you want "Freedom From Religion," move to China.

Of course, this is what we should have expected, sorry to say, coming from the Peoples Republic of Madison (and Univ. of Wisconsin, where Donna Shalala emerged from).

I think it is unseemly for the President to encourage or promote religion, his religion, the majority religion, or any religion at all...Intolerance noted.
You militant anti-Christians and the Taliban would get on together just fine.

On the morning of Napolean's last battle at Waterloo, one of his top aids said to him something along the lines that God would grant a victory if Napolean would submit to Him what we do. Napolean responded that he would not. He lost.
Other people said that the Titanic could not be sunk, even by the hand of God. They learned that you can never underestimate His power.
These people are idiots to think that God can't do a thing to help us. The whole ting though rests upon us being faithful.
It has also intrigued me to no extent that atheists don't believe in God, yet they are always fighting Him.

So, the 81.5% people of faith are to bow down to the 18.5% of athiests, agnostics and freethinkers? Hmmmm, I believe that in this "democracy" we live in, the majority rules - so this athiest just needs to put a sock in it!
And, I have never met a firefighter that does not believe in God and I know a bunch of firefighters! Don't know as many police officers as I do firefighters, but all the ones I do know are believers.

Out of line? Not at all! Everyone on FR has wept and lost it since Tuesday in one way or another!

Oh, snappy comeback. What specfic comments did I make that you consider sophomoric? A better question, what comments did you make that were not sophomoric? Your Village Atheist stance at a time like this is both tiresome and inappropriate. Your linking of the Taliban with Christianity as joint evils is not only ignorant but also offensive.
Finally, regarding your age. You have replied to someone else that you are old enough to be a retired fireman. That makes you middle aged (although anyone can claim anything on a website. Thats how pedophiles attract their prey via the internet). I have often observed that there is a difference between growing up and growing old. You appear to be a case of mental arrested development.
I have no more time for you, or for that matter anyone like you.
Peace and love.

Howdy, please to meet you. I'm a firefighter who doesn't believe in god. I know of several others.

Another atheist apology for this lunacy.
To: Storm Orphan
I'm an agnostic, and I just want to say, I have no problems with the majority of the country (President included) praying in times like these. I think as long as nobody is being forced to pray (don't know how you would do this anyway, lol... mind control, perhaps?), it is fine by me.
I personally did a lot of reflection, both mentally and spiritually this week (which I guess you might consider praying, just not in the strictly Christian sense), and a lot of talking with members of many religious and non-religious belief systems. I'm glad to say that most of us are unified as Americans, even if we can't be unified religiously.
Be safe all.

you make being a Christian sound like a college course or something. it is simply coming in allignment with God, and his purpose for you. don't think so hard about everything, just believe and receive his grace.
