What a waste of time.

I agree. But I happened to have it nearby. I love the look on Xtian's faces when they find out that I know more about it than they do. Priceless.
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

Yes, I see the quote, notably established in the early-mid 20th century that in no way alters or affects US law or the constitution as to establish a religion of any kind.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Jiminez, before posting again could you please read this post and learn how to use the quote function. What you're saying is confusing enough without getting it all mixed up with everyone else's words.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Actually, the US is a secular nation and the first amendment prevents the US from establishing ANY religion - christianity or otherwise.

ROFLOL

Dumbest argument yet! We owe Mexico 20 billion of those "in god we trust" bullshit bills. We owe China damn near a trillion of them!

You've thought about this ZERO, which reflects upon your argument.

Also, learn how to use quote tags. It's not fucking hard.

@ OP -

We have far more intelligent posters making far more coherent arguments than you on a daily basis. Your arguments are unoriginal, simplistic, and not worthy of serious debate.

Atheism makes more sense than you do.

In 1777. Continental Congress voted to spend $300,000 to purchase bibles which were to be distributed throughout the 13 colonies! And in 1782, the United States Congress declared, “The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."

And that makes your argument relevant in 2011, because? Maybe we should have put that money in a damn bank, and left it. By now the interest would be enough to pay back all the godless nations to whom we owe trillions.

So what?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the bible.
George Washington

It seems that our founding father agrees to my point of view. Again I ask, does Atheism make any sense?
