Jesus should be put back in the government!

Because they were and still are bullshit.

Why would you? A bible is always handy if you have a wobbly table or have that empty space in the bookcase.

I like how Ross Noble says he was in a hotel once, and in the beginning of the Bible in there some "cheeky bastard" had written "All the best, Love God"... and he found it so funny that's why he could never be religious lol.

Religion and politics don't mix but when manipulated properly they can be a very powerful tool of control. The dark ages and good old president Bush JR. proved this previous statement a thousand times over.

"God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam [Hussein], which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
--Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Abu Mazen quoting Bush when they met in Aqaba; reported in The Haaretz Reporter by Arnon Regular

For more of former President Bushes bullshit religious quotes see this link, trust me it's funny as shit.

I read this email from my grandma with tons of pictures of "Jesus" that said something along the lines of That without Jesus, our country will spiral downwards, atheists are trying to keep Jesus out of the government and things of that nature.

Your granny demonstrates a distinct lack of faith if she thinks the atheists can thwart god's plan.

...I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up in hell.

I'd be surprised, that means there is an afterlife and a god.

She probably thinks she's in hell now because not everyone agrees with her fairy tale view of life.

Must be tough on her!

How do you know that if there was a hell, that it could not exist without there being a God?

Yes stupid people read it literally :S

Is that your assent to rip out all bullshit stories?

[Edwardo Piet]

So if it's not literally then it's just a parable eh fr0d0? All metaphorical eh? Or do you get to pick and choose?

The holy spirit tells you what is parable, allegorical, and literal EVF. Which is actually an improvement as opposed to the Urim and the Thummim when seeking counsel of the Lord in the Old Testament. Since atheist don't have the "benefit" of the holy ghost we must accept that we will never understand that holy mess called the bible.
