“you start to get what looks very little like a ‘Christian nation’ and very much like a secular one”
Does the writer truly miss that her words demonstrate her view that in its transition into a secular nation, America necessarily comes from Christian origin?
or 12.....
these people WORSHIP youth! and... immaturity
I think I saw it on TV once. ;’)
John Edward’s?
OH THAT GUY!!!>../
did she inspire him to post selfies of his HAIR??
shes flyin in the stratosphere of the intellectual elite there she is!!
Thanks, I knew there had to be a formal diagnosis.
More media word play with bogus assumptions and conclusions. There’s LOTS of home-schooled ‘Bible-thumpers’ who don’t go to church, and even more shy of the ‘thumper’ level who are Christians nonetheless!
I never bother reading her hatefull spew, because it accomplishes nothing.
So here’s the deal Amanda:
There is nothing more violent in the meme’s of human thought than secularism.
If the 20th century had anything cogent to say to us all here in the 21st century it is this:
Secularism kills!
The idea that theists of various stripes owe you or some facsimile of the Enlightenment an apology is to pretend that the world was not created 5000 years ago, but yesterday.
When we think about the fadish death as text beheading, let’s remember who invented the guillotine.
It was your bigoted hate filled anti-christian intellectuals of the French Revolution.
Mao and Stalin killed over 100 million people this past century on the intellectual and academic premise that religion is primitive and archaic.
Public sensational killings are not simply tolerated by the secular— they are the celebrated signature.
Christianity uniquely critiques the killing of the innocent and says a Resurrection stands between the statist fantasy of genocidal fed obedience and a world of human liberty.
Rule one of Creation which these self important are too blind to see: You will serve Heaven or you will serve Hell. There is no in between.
Plenty of choices, one seems to stand out from the crowd.
My late father has #6 on his headstone.
Why not be closed on Friday or Thursday or any other day... is being closed on Sunday an endorsement of Christian religion?...
With Saturday close second endorsing the judeo-christian days of rest and worship....
You don't see as closed on Islam Friday to you?
and what's the atheist official day of rest... Wednesday?
we gotta change these days of the week the government's close otherwise it's an endorsement of the Christian and Judeo Christian religion can't have that
It's just not happening.
Is she going to tell Asian Americans to stop whining about not being let into prestigious universities at a rate commensurate with their high school accomplishments?
Is she going to tell African Americans to stop blaming everything on The Man use and riots to extort money from the public trough?
Is she going to tell Muslims to stop their Halal practices that cause animals to suffer?
What does she have to fear from this ever-shrinking minority of Christians? That one or two insurance companies might not help her pay for condoms? That a few schools might not hire her as a teacher? That a few churches might not allow her to marry her girlfriend? That one or two bakeries might not supply cupcakes for her gay cousin's wedding reception?
The horrors!
you know what’s funny about the atheist headstone...symbol?... it an “Atom”....vs ...Adam.. I know if you read definitions they don’t seem to come from the same root but I find that very hard to believe... given their meanings
This writer pretty much phones it in, with her loose *facts*...of which she obtains from sources such as Slate (lib taking the word of another lib as a source), American Sociological Review (from 1998), and, of course, herself.
NO THANKS!

Just because I no longer attend church regularly does not mean I am not a believer. My church has gone left and left me.
I now spend my Sunday mornings at what I jokingly refer to as “The Church of John Moses Browning”.
