..and believing in God always was American..and feel it should be allowed to be taught...the Bible anyway.
I believe the time has come to speak out on our faith as it is the core of who we are. My core is God and the Golden Rule. The Bible teaches the history....all true. and at Christmas Time this is to be rejoiced and acknowledged...totally totally nonjudgemental. Hey, ask yourself...what kind a person would post this here....HannaAtlanta...lol
...or ask, Why do our schools teach so much violence? When I was tought American history in public school. That American history, where America is always the good guy. Even though I was not the least bit religious, and always questioned the existance of God. I was always under the assumption God was with us, the American people.
Personaly I believe there is still alot of God in school today.
These fuckers are the biggest assholes in the universe
As much as I hate to admit it, and at the cost of another five bucks to Marikod for "talking to the troll", I have to admit, I actually agree with you.
I would love to be on the jury at the murder when one of the mourners snaps and kills one (or preferable all) of these vile fucks that preach hate for their fellow man as they profess their "love for God".
I wonder just how fast a jury would come back with a not guilty verdict if the case ever went to trial?
I didn't think I could detest anyone more than I detest Daffy, but these asswipes win hands down.
then why is it there was no violence in schools for decades? And don't forget the Pledge of Allegiance never had a mention of god in it until the early '50s -- and it's had "under God" in it ever since. Kids still recite it every morning. You really should re-read the part of the Constitution that requires the separation of church and state. If you want your kids to have god in their classroom, send them to a religious school. That's your right. It's my right not to have my kids preached at. Now, I'm all for religion if it's a comfort to you to believe of some big Being in the sky. But also keep in mind that, for centuries, more people of been murdered and abused in the name of god -- or for their religious beliefs -- than for any other reason. There are lots of reasons why this country has become so violent. And none of them are because god is not in schools.

that I read long ago. The first book's opening is insane as the Archangel Michael contacts a drunken ex-captain of supertanker (think Exxon Valdez) to retrieve the corpse of God at Lat 0"0' and Long 0"0'
Godhead Trilogy
Towing Jehovah (1994), in which the corpse of God (a two-mile long white male with a grey beard, as he has often been depicted) is discovered floating in the Atlantic Ocean. The captain of a supertanker is dispatched by the Vatican on a secret mission to tow the Divine Corpse to a tomb carved out of the Arctic ice. A group of atheist extremists plan on destroying the body, as although God is dead, his corpse proves that they were wrong and he existed at some point in time. An extended subplot deals with the evolution of a character's views on ethics and morality as he faces the idea of a post-theistic world. Towing Jehovah won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1995;[2] was nominated for a Nebula Award in 1994;[3] and received Hugo, Clarke, and Locus Fantasy Award nominations in 1995.[4] Terri Windling selected it as one of the best fantasy books of 1994.[5]
Blameless in Abaddon (1996), in which God's body is now part of a religious theme park. A small-town magistrate, who has suffered many personal troubles, including the death of his wife and prostate cancer, decides to literally put God on trial for crimes against humanity. God's defense lawyer is a parody of C. S. Lewis. Other biblical figures including Satan and Jesus Christ appear in this book. "Abaddon" is a small fictional township in Pennsylvania and an obscure Biblical word for Hell.
The Eternal Footman (1999), in which the absence of God, save for his skull orbiting the Earth, results in a plague of death-awareness. The Eternal Footman was nominated for a Locus Fantasy Award in 1997.[6]

If they come to Newtown they won't last long. And they'll deserve whatever they get. What they do is tantamount to yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. It stretches the First Amendment to the breaking point. In reality, no one will get to them because a poor bunch of cops will have to protect them from the mob. In the past, the Hell's Angels have intimidated them away from planned gatherings. Oh, and Gambler, FYATWYRIO !
Yeah, I knew it was him because when I licked him she started screaming, "Oh, Jesus!!! Oh, Jesus!!! Oh, Jesus !!!!!" Do I know how to worship, or what?
Determining the bigger asshole needs to be tested. Daffy and a Westboro Baptist jump, or accidentally pushed, from the top of the Stratosphere. Whoever hits first is the bigger asshole. Whoever hits second is also an asshole. I really don't want to split hairs here on who is the bigger asshole.
Do you want to do this before or after dinner? I don't know about you, but a good jump, albeit encouraged, and splat tends to make me hungry.
Appears you and I need to entertain our friend marikod. I need to pay off a debt at Delmonicos. Your attendance, albeit a drunken attendance is required. Plus, we can toast mari, and laugh at the fact it only took him 4 fucking years to get his BOA money back (lol).
If memory serves me correctly, and I will stipulate that I drink, (a LOT), but I thought the bet was based on how high (if any) the bounce after impact would be. If neither bounce, we call it a draw and I buy another bottle of Krug. Dead cat, or in this case "Dead Duck" bounces count. lmao
Ok, time for my tetanus shot too.
Fuck all of you and the whores you rode in on. Well except for TrannyBoy of course, we all know he doesn't ride, he prefers to be ridden.
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10
I am all for helping those who really need it, just tired of carrying those who don't need it and want a free ride.
But then again, it is a documented fact that Conservatives donate more to charity than liberals. Liberals are only generous with other people's money...
Yeah, LIBERALS ARE HYPOCRITES, but as the eTrade baby would express...
god isn't responsible for the deaths of those adults and children in conn. Your reasoning and summation is the very reason the Bible should be taught to understand, challenge it's meaning, and studied...because it is about our history.
I responded that I have read the Book. And, I've observed where you have bragged here repeatedly about being rich. I coupled that with what I've read in the Book about the rich. That's all. Not making any judgements. But, it sure got you all defensive!
God is America. America is God. God only loves America. What makes you think Bible and Christianity is our faith? By “our” you mean White America! Your core is God and Golden Rule and God loves white America
Few examples of your stupidity. There are million other ways to interpret your post.
One that addresses an attribute you seem to be very proud of and lord over many of us on this board, particularly anyone who doesn't share your political beliefs. Now, that is hypocrisy!
