What a fucking retard. Part of the reason our country has dipshits like this is because they only get sold a revisionist history growing up and most of it, not in a civics class, but in Sunday school.

Madison modeled the First Amendment from Jefferson's prior "Virgina Religious Freedom act". Idiots like this never get that part of the story. And if he thinks punishing people for not going to church is a good thing, maybe he should ask Christians living in Iran or Saudi Arabia if their government should punish them for not going to a mosque?

Taxed for not going to a religious building and listening to total bullshit? Fuck me that's pathetic.

Could they be any more patheti....don't answer that. I already know the answer. I've learnt to expect them to do something even dumber than the last dumb thing they did. It's like a challenge to them, - "How dumb can we be today? Oh I know, lets tax science for doing scientific stuffs!"
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

That's actually surprisingly painful with bare feet. If you have a delicate feet like me, anyway.

I can't support the tax on not going to church. Big surprise. But if we really need the revenue, how about a tax on not voting? [Yep, rebel rousing again.]

I vote for an upturned electrical plug.
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.'

Am I the only one who has considered that his quote was possibly grossly misinterpreted?

I feel like what he said could easily have been more of a critique of Obamacare than a serious idea. As in he's really saying, "People accept Obamacare as a good idea because it's good for the people, despite the fact that Americans are forced into it. By that logic, we should force people into churches because it's "good for you" (meant to be taken as an obviously bad idea)."
Now, that the flow is stalled,
The breath is held, the framework built,
Do the clock's hands fly, or remain still?
