NC county commissioner storms out of meeting during Muslim prayer: ‘I don’t need no Arab telling me what to do'
Quote:The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners had always opened government meetings with Christian prayer. About two months ago, officials decided that in order to avoid legal trouble, they’d have to let everyone participate.
That didn’t last long.
But then....
Quote:By the end of the meeting, all prayer was banned at board meetings and will be replaced with a moment of silence. Commissioner Alex Patton initiated the motion which was easily voted into effect.
Good. This country needs fewer fucking prayers and a lot more hard work. Praying to any fuckhead of a god won't accomplish shit.

This is why the ACLU doesn't like to take atheist clients. It's so much more effective when a religious person rises up against another in a church-state issue. It makes the hypocrisy stand out like a sore thumb. It effectively demonstrates why church-state separation is so important - to EVERYBODY.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It's funny that if jesus had actually existed, that's exactly what he'd be, and that's what everyone would have been imagining jesus's daddy to be as well.
I think the moment of silence is good, so people don't have hissy fits over which invisible god is the correct one, instead of focusing on the real issues at hand.
I, also, am wondering which part of the constitution says that we founded this nation under jeebus cryst, white savior of the world.

Hey !!
Show a little respect to Anusius !!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

As someone from NC, I should have heard this story but I hadn't
Quote:Previously, Mitchem had vowed to keep Christian-only prayers at the meetings.
“I don’t believe we need to be bowing to the minorities,” Mitchem had told WBTV. “The U.S. and the Constitution were founded on Christianity. This is what the majority of people believe in, and it’s what I’m standing up for.”
Apparently, he thinks he is being brave and standing up for his faith by discriminating against other religions' right to pray at the council meetings. At least his stupid tantrum, walking out of the meeting, ended up getting religious prayer banned from the meeting. The south will openly embrace secularism if they have to allow other religions equal rights.

Jews and Arabs are classified as white people. Mohammed was described as being a white guy. The only description of Jesus in Revelation 1:12-16 and he's one weirdo. http://www.thebricktestament.com/revelat...13p16.html
Even Superman was white and he came from across the galaxy. Imagine how he would have gone over as a black guy with superpowers. Everyone would have been throwing green kryponite at him.

Good. This country needs fewer fucking prayers and a lot more hard work. Praying to any fuckhead of a god won't accomplish shit.
He looks like he's the grand dragon. The dummies should do their worthless praying in closets.
