RE: Proposed: The United States is NOT a christian nation.

Everything else is ignored. Even the fundies will ignore most of the bible, but they will pay close attention to things that affirm their hatreds and loves.
Everything else is ignored.
"Thou shalt not kill"?
Fundy - Wrong! It was misinterpreted. It is "thou shalt murder"
Why, you would ask? Because you cant have an imperialistic army going from country to country with "thou shalt not kill". Killing is ver acceptable to the fundy as long as it doesnt affect what the fundy loves. Killing is what we do to our inmates. God isnt against the death penalty, so it was obviously thou shalt not "murder". Besides, it allows killing to be negotiable. By calling it murder, you can kill as long as your paperwork is in order.
The book of Jeremiah condemning the use of Christmas trees, even going into great detail of what a Christmas tree is, and that only Heathens follow such a practice..is meant to be ignored, and discussed to the point that it is buried under a sea of words.
So..Christmas trees = good
killing = good
murder = bad
gays = bad
bisexual women = hot as hell!!!

How is it that Jeremiah could write about a christmas tree before Christ was born. Christmas trees did not appear until after Christ's death and ressurection.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I dare you to push the button below dogschild. I double dare ya. I triple dog dare ya!
Jeremiah Chap 10 Wrote:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 ¶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? Rev. 15.4 for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 ¶ Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 ¶ He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
Now, here is a great chance for you to excuse this verse out of context. Of course they arent talking about christmas trees. They are saying only heathens go into the forest to cut a tree down, and set it up so it does not move, and deck it with silver and gold...you BOUGHT your christmas tree. Its plastic, so that doesnt count...
Come on..give me your excuse...
How do you like verse 13, and the ignorance of the people back then. Lightening needs no god, nor does rain...nor does the Earth have ENDS to it. The Earth isnt flat. The Earth is round(ish). this doesnt sound like men inspired by the creator of the universe. It sounds like faulty men making guesswork on nature and demonising yet ANOTHER neighboring tribe. The old testament is just constantly demonizing the neighboring tribes and egging to go slit their throats, steal their gold, enslave their daughters and rape their women...every single time with the direct command of God along with his blessings.
For those of you not into the old testament. You can easily references to "windows of heaven" being opened for the rain. The rain and wind coming from "gods store houses" or his "vaults of heaven" or from "his treasures". Talks of a "firmament", which is a reference to a soild sky being "scrolled out" or being "spread out as a tent". Talks of the "ends of the Earth", "4 corners of the Earth", or "foundations of the Earth" of which God even brags in the book of Job that only HE knows how far down they go.
In other words, you can randomly open the old testament and will SURELY find a reference to incorrect cosmology on them.

“Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by signs in the heavens,
though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.
So when stealing the trimmings of pagan celebrations ( as you fuckers did when you turned the Saturnalia into "christmas" you are in violation of your supposed god's bullshit.
If ignorance is bliss you must be the happiest guy on earth!
