Atheists, how often do you think about God's existence/non-existence?

[Baalzebutt]

I don't necessarily think about your god too much but I do think about the damage done by religion quite a bit. In fact, lately, it has been sort of a mental obsession.

Those who believe do so with such blind devotion that no amount of talking, evidence or logical argument gets them to open their fucking eyes. They get angry when we tell them god doesn't exist yet they have no problem at all shoving their religion down our throats at every conceivable opportunity.

For instance, I went to a function a week or so ago. It was an awards banquet for our local chamber of commerce. After a brief announcement to start things off, they launched into a prayer.

While this seems rather benign, it is really just a symptom of the wider issue of religion in public forums. Our elected officials MUST profess belief in god or they have no chance of getting elected. It follows that many will rely on those religious beliefs when drafting or voting on public policy. Therefore, our public policy is being greatly influenced by religion. Our constitution specifically forbids religion within government.

All these right wing nutjobs bitch about the constitution being attacked and right being eroded, but they are the first ones to support public policy based on religion.

Fucktards.
