What deism has done for the world
March 1, 2014 at 11:30 pm
For the Dis man, he wants me to offer what deists have done for the world, as opposed to Christianity's wonderful contributions.
Well, for starters...
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist

I agree. America is not a christian nation. It's a nation that's predominantly christian. There's a big difference, mostly that the constitution and Bill of Rights is not based on any religious text.

TREATY WITH TRIPOLI...... Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
can I have a kudos or an AMEN.

Deism gave us the Declaration of Independance and the Declaration of the Rights of Man.
Infinitely superior to the jesus freak motherfuckers and their divine right of kings.

Their claim to America being founded based on Christianity is ridiculous. The puritans came sure, but America wasn't found in religious rule what so ever. Their claim for this holds just as true for any other country in the western world. Sure it sounds nice, but it just doesn't stick. All Christianity has done to any nation is become the majority religion.
