Religion scares atheists. It reminds them of the God-shaped hole in their soul.

Go read what the Founding Fathers actually wrote. Secondly, you would be OK with Islam being part of our government as it's predicted it'll be the majority religion in 50 years? Something tells me that you and all the other Christians pushing this crap will be arguing for seperation of church and state when that happens.

To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.

As it turns out, you really CAN'T be a gigantic pain-in-the-ass douchebag, and then expect to get a free pass because the people you insulted "ought to be better than that."

Unless you Atheist types are suggesting that there's something "magical" about Christians that somehow removes their basic human motivations, such as "anger at people who act like assholes towards you", then I'd politely suggest that you have no room to whine about this. She caused problems at her workplace, and she wasn't invited back. End of story. Since all people are, in fact, pretty much the same regardless of the tribe they choose to affiliate themselves with, it seems like a pretty stupid idea to fark with the dominant tribe in your area, and then complain when they fark with you back.

You're not doing your non-belief system any favors man, "Christi...idiot country" really, the United States is the shiat, you are aware the US has been on the cutting edge of technology for the entire time it has existed, more immigrants move here than anywhere in the world, are there some racists? Well yeah, but it's the only first world country I know of that has elected a black president. Stop with the self loathing and projection, all of these things have been done with a vast majority of Christian citizens.

Nerdhurter: the United States is the shiat

Would probably be better off if you didn't try to laud the US by comparing it to feces.

WhippingBoy: Don't people have real issues to worry about?

For many Christians, their faith and their need to spread it everywhere IS the real issue. Nothing else matters but being butt-buddies with God and bagging as many saved souls as possible. Say the slightest thing negative about them and the cries of "PERSECUTION!! DOWNTRODDEN!! EVIL!!" ring echo off the sides of mountains.

We joke about people wanting to watch the world burn. These people are convinced that their God will burn the world and everyone who isn't them for eternity, and they're gnashing at the bit for it to happen. Purge the evil ones and leave paradise for them.

Makes you just shiver and squee from the amount of love and compassion, doesn't it.

Because their silly lie requires consensus. If any of us question, or are allowed to question, their fairey stories, it imterferes with their brainwashing their own kids. This is why they have always enforced their "Christian" faith with fire and murder and torture, and still will if we don't physically stop them from doing it.

The wall between state and church is a fundamental tenet of our country. This separation protects believers and nonbelievers alike.

I don't like people who try to use violence to get other people to be quiet. This is a bad habit that Christians have been displaying for about 1500 years or so. They need to stop insisting that everyone agree with them, and plasttering their shiat on public things they don't own. When they stop that shiat, i'll have no prob with 'em.
