I told you this Satan statue thingwas going to be a popcorn worthy event.
I am sick unto death of Christians who threaten civil unrest and call for the execution of folks they disagree with.
I am sick unto death of sanctimonious shouts advocating violation of our Constitution.
Freedom of religion means I get to be free from YOUR religion. And that my government is secular.
Those who do not read and remember history are doomed to repeat it. Are you ready for religious riots again? Does the current crop of religious terrorism in America concern you? It concerns me bigtime and I self-identify as Christian.
"From the earliest arrival of Europeans on America’s shores, religion has often been a cudgel, used to discriminate, suppress and even kill the foreign, the “heretic” and the “unbeliever”—including the “heathen” natives already here. Moreover, while it is true that the vast majority of early-generation Americans were Christian, the pitched battles between various Protestant sects and, more explosively, between Protestants and Catholics, present an unavoidable contradiction to the widely held notion that America is a “Christian nation.”
I am religious. The moment a US politician mentions God, s/he loses a measure of electability for me. I am not far from making the rule that I will not vote for a God mentioner. At the moment that is impractical as a hard and fast rule. If atheists keep up the good work, that day may come.
I despise theists like Stephen Fincher who use scripture to deny people food while taking millions in farm subsidies. Stephen Fincher is a Welfare Queen. Did Fincher have to take a drug test to get his check? If quoting scripture while you starve folks is not blasphemy, I do not know what is.
Jewish law had provisions for feeding the poor and helpless, just like we do today. Jesus said that not one bit of the law would pass away. I wonder what Jesus would say to Stephen Fincher?
“When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field and hast forgotten a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands." - Deuteronomy 24:19
"A man shows his character just in the way in which he deals with trifles--for then he is off his guard. This will often afford a good opportunity of observing the boundless egoism of man's nature, and his total lack of consideration for others; and if these defects show themselves in small things, or merely in his general demeanor, you will find that they also underlie his action in matters of importance, although he may disguise the fact. . . . Do not trust him beyond your door. He who is not afraid to break the laws of his own private circle, will break those of the State when he can do so with impunity." - Schopenhauer
Update: I did not get enough signatures on the first petition. So I have started another. See it and sign: http://wh.gov/lTPOk
I just started a petition on the White House petitions site, We the People. Will you sign it? How crazy does it have to get before we clean up the House and Senate? These folks supposedly work for us. They do not come to work much. When they do come to work, they act like they are nuts. If you did that, how long would you keep your job?
