Not that agree one way or the other but so many Christians are funny. They all fight so hard for their right to have their religious displays and what-not, yet look the other way when someone else wants something different.

You`d think after how many thousands of years of living together as a species we`d figure out how to live peacefully.

i should make a nativity scene of deli meats, cheeses and shellfish, tied together with bands of used condoms, covered in free samples of birth control and morning after pills, put a tutu on chocolate baby frog jesus, and to top it off, a backdrop of goatse. just to give them something to really complain about.

Ah RELIGION, isn`t it great that they all seem to work on the basis of "Believe in what we believe in, your we`ll kill you". It`s been the world`s great excuse to be shitty to one another since the begining of civilization

Aight m8s look both parties need to seriously shut the fuck up, if atheist want to post some funny shit on christians let them do so as long as the christians have the same right. Besides who exactly founded this nation? Christians right; so its no wonder and logical that this country isnt all that secular. Either way humans use religion as a fucking fad, christianity is in so go with it, but then islam is in so fuck go in with that, but atheism is in too and it makes you look cool with the chicks. We make beliefs into one big fucking joke. Fucking prove me wrong assholes, the last 2,000 years have been full of fucking religious fads. Last time I checked Deepak Chopra was the "in" thing.

Chrisalexan:
"Besides who exactly founded this nation? Christians right"

wrong, all of the Founding fathers were atheists (well Jefferson was a deist, but close enough for my argument).

"As the Gov`t of the USA is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion....." - Treaty of Tripoli, drafted in 1796 under G. Washington and signed by John Adams in 1979

in actually fact the founding fathers would be spinning in their graves if they saw and heard the crap coming outta politicians these days, especially after this quote:
"No, i dont know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God." - good ol` George Bush Sr.

and by definition a "fad" comes and goes, but like u said the quarrels of religion have been going on for 2000 years (well its actually been a lot longer), so that kinda makes it not a fad. also i know a lot of atheists that are fucking losers and couldnt get a chick if they paid for one. so.....i think i just proved you wrong. now sit down, and shut up.

The only reason why this aggravates me is the double standard you atheist are showing.

For example.

This poster is a personal opinion stating a belief of life beyond death (or there lack of.)

You liberals / athesit defend this as "freedom of speech".

ok fine, I agree

BUT

When a person puts up a sign or w/e against homosexuality you call that hate speech. Or when there is a statue depicting the ten commandments inside a judge court house you get offended it and want it removed.

That is the exact same of hypocritical behavior as these people you claim to be showing.

You kids have such self centered / absorbed perspective on life, it`s quite sickening to think that your so blind that you actually think your looking at things from a "neutral" perspective when in reality your just as ignorant as those you accuse.

But maybe it isn`t your fault IDK, makes me wonder where idiots like ^ get there ideas that all the early presidents were atheist and this country was not founded monotheism (to put it generally).

Granted, God is not mentioned in the Constitution, but He is mentioned in every major document leading up to the final wording of the Constitution. For example, Connecticut is still known as the "Constitution State" because its colonial constitution was used as a model for the United States Constitution. Its first words were: "For as much as it has pleased the almighty God by the wise disposition of His Divine Providence…"

Most of the fifty-five Founding Fathers who worked on the Constitution were members of orthodox Christian churches and many were even evangelical Christians. The first official act in the First Continental Congress was to open in Christian prayer, which ended in these words: "...the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Savior. Amen". Sounds Christian to me.

Ben Franklin, at the Constitutional Convention, said: "...God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?"

John Adams stated so eloquently during this period of time that; "The general principles on which the fathers achieved Independence were ... the general principles of Christianity ... I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that the general principles of Christianity are as etemal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God."

Later, John Quincy Adams answered the question as to why, next to Christmas, was the Fourth of July this most joyous and venerated day in the United States. He answered: "...Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?" Sounds like the founding of a Christian nation to me. John Quincy Adams went on to say that the biggest victory won in the American Revolution was that Christian principles and civil government would be tied together In what he called an "indissoluble" bond. The Founding Fathers understood that religion was inextricably part of our nation and government. The practice of the Christian religion in our government was not only welcomed but encouraged.

So tones_, ^^^^ READ THAT, make sure you and other ignorant kids like you quit spouting disinformation. (Fact check me if you want your self created fictional history to come crashing down)

You know this to be true yet deny it, or on the other hand you only know hearsay and believe what your other friends tell you to be true. You fail to do research on your own and to accept history for what it is.

You might be bitter that you live in a country that was founded in those ideologies, either way that makes you all the more self absorbed and pathetically weak minded.

Get and education, do your homework and grow up before you try to talk about subjects you know absolutely nothing about.
