Which lead to our currency and pledge. All this reminds me of the crusades, the inquisition, the armada, the witch hunts, the problem between the Muslim factions, when England became prosetent and then catholic again etc. Some day they will learn. Time has gotten better for religious freedoms. Since it wasn’t that long ago when and Atheist could not sign petitions. But we do have a long way to go. One thing I have to say though, the bible is not a book of lies. It is book of the beliefs of people who lived 2000 to 5000 years ago. These people saw the world in a very limited way, do to lack of knowledge. Remember science did not exist then and a religious figure was the one you asked to explain thing like what was thunder, and were did people come from. The bible is no different then other ancient writing of other religions. It is just sad the people can’t read and understand that the bible is just a book of superstions. One last thing, Christians in America, is a funny group. Most have never actually read that book that they say they believe in.

Mayes Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:36:35 +0000 http://firstchurchofatheism.com/?p=880#comment-4053 I have heard that there are over 2000 different religions in this country, many of whom don’t believe in a God, quite a few who don’t believe in any Gods. The thing that I despise is that the people who argue the most over their rights are the ones who sensually don’t know what their rights are. These people, from my experience, are told what, when and why to say stuff. It just scares me that when the cattle are brought in on Sunday to get their weekly indoctrination, they can be programmed with any political, moral and ideological thinking and thus will not think for themselves or listen to anyone besides the people they were taught to listen to. I love playing “devil’s advocate,” especially since I don’t believe in a devil either, but I will pick on Christians by asking, if they believe in aliens? Most will say no and I will ask, then where is God from? If he created the earth, then she is not from the earth and that makes them extraterrestrial, alien, a creator from another space. This will usually confuse them and make them think! Be kind, teach a Christian to think for them self.

It was founded because nobody wanted to pay their taxes if they didn't get a vote. It also confuses me that the right thinks seperation of church and state is to keep the government out of the church. It's like saying that freedom of speech means other people can't say things you don't like. Mr. Gerzen, people came to this country because they wanted the freedom to practice their religion.

I would like to tell all the religious people reading that I'm going to be morally right with or without the teachings of the Bible. I don't think sex is a sin also now include porn. I'm not going to rape, pillage, burn and eat babies because I don't believe there is a God. Lets face the facts most people living today are more holy then the authors of the Bible. Why spend your hard earn dollars on making liers rich. How much of the Bible would be left if we took out everything that was a dishonest (lie) or broke the ten commendments?

This Government was formed around the Christian religion. We now allow Muslims to practice their faith in schools with full government protection.
