National Day of Prayer declared unconstitutional!

RE: National Day of Prayer declared unconstitutional!
Why don't we have a National Dance Naked Around a Bonfire Under a Full Moon and Sacrifice a Goat Day?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

I happen to know that there are plenty of Christians, Muslims, Jews (and so on) that believe in the separation of church and state. It is not an 'atheist issue' and it bugs me that the media portrays it that way.

I agree, but that is an issue the FFRF has to tackle itself with better PR.

I had dinner once with the one of the founders of FFRF...

They told me that PR was their biggest obstacle.

And I agree with them. The FFRF has a serious image problem.

I would say that their name has something to do with that. It's difficult to convince people that the separation of church and state is for the good of all, when the very name of your organisation has an 'anti-religion' feel to it.

Some of their actions didn't help much either (like the sign on the winter solstice).

I will celebrate when the decision is upheld by the SCOTUS.

Because I'm too sexy. It would result in many losses of virginity and many breakings of marriage vows. People would flock to the US from oddly named countries (Hungary-Israel-Turkey) and live there for the rest of their lives for the chance to have sex with me briefly once a year.

I know... I'm ruining the fun for everybody... the goat doesn't even get sacrificed, and joins the line with all the others. When it gets to me, i honestly don't notice a difference between the goat and all the other pigs.

I don't think PETA should protect the goats... but PETA definitely should protect me :S

It would result in massive flows of emesis violently brought forth by such a display.

Ya, for me, puking early in the morning is not what I call fun.
