Michael Newdow, who serves on the Advisory Board of Secular Coalition for America. A well known atheist, failed to have the phrase under God removed from the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. He'll probably try again.neoplacebo wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 12:14 pmWell,neo is out. Your refusal to give any examples of how you consider god to be somehow the victim of some effort to purge him from US society and your continual snide little comments about members of my family give me no choice but to assume that you are, in fact, a pedophile cloaking his sin in false religion. So I will say again; go fuck yourself, leave those kids alone, and keep a sharp lookout for your god who you fear is in danger. And don't forget what I said about chicken wire.
As I said before, I see the barriers your sister has to deal with. I really hope she can get through to you before it's too late. Are Patience's parents Christians, do they take her to Church?

All we say is that you slackers should stop demanding government support for your mythology. Why are you believers and your god so weak that you can’t stand on your own two feet, and why would anyone want to join a cult that’s so incompetent?
I especially don’t want you right-wing bigots banished. It’s too much fun to point at you and laugh at your increasing impotence. Thank you....

He had his opportunity in court, he failed.
Maybe he should have been ignored, disparaged. Atheists don't believe in God, so they say.

Re: Religion in America
What a dumb reply, 1 FAT CAN.
First, no one has said that you slackers haven't had some success in demanding government support for your mythology.
Second, no public school child anywhere in the US is required to say the Pledge, at least not legally required. So, ultimately your Big Brother mandated state religion is what has "failed."
You're cowering from my questions:
Why are you believers and your god so weak that you can’t stand on your own two feet, and why would anyone want to join a cult that’s so incompetent?
Why did your god neglect to give you literacy, a brain and a spine?

Re: Religion in America
Who said anything about legally required?
Atheists haven't succeeded legally in having the phrase under God removed though.
If kids are not required to say the Pledge of Allegiance, why have atheists attempted to have the phrase under God removed from it?

Read that several states have God written in their constitutions. Shouldn't be an issue for atheists though, maybe.

Presumably 1 fat can disbelieves in the divinity of Zeus.
Zeus has exactly equivalent legitimacy with God.
Why the discrimination? Racism against Greeks?

Post Trump it's pretty obvious that voters don't actually care about the religion of the man itself, just that his policies support their religious bias.Limier than most wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 9:48 amYour politics offten makes the papers here in UK, especially since that refreshingly different chap, Mr. Trump, got the top job.
One detail l really struggle with is religion.
I keep seeing statistics telling me that huge numbers of Americans are actively and genuinely religious, and it is an important political factor.
UK is basically a post-religious society, with numbers of genuinely devout people falling over the centuries since our Civil War (when the English Taliban won, offshoots of whom left on the Mayflower).
Religion is utterly irrelevant in our politics.
Is it really a big deal there?
I guess it's still a big deal because it can affect voting in a large way. People on the whole are becoming less religious, we're just further behind than most of the developing world.
