It's obvious in the NT that Jesus was all for free market economy, and communism was condemned as an evil abomination. Moreover, it says specifically that Obama was going to be the anti-Christ, whose going to take your guns away and force you to take health insurance against your will.

Quote:have come to the conclusion that religion - especially the monotheisms of Christianity and Islam (to a lesser degree Judaism) are a menace and a threat to society, and dangerous to an individual.

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.

It's an overt declaration and glorification of all of the shit between our ears that we would like to sweep under the rug (at least those of us with any decency whatsoever). There isn't anything at all that we do that I find more embarrassing and infantile. I'd hate to be the guy that had to explain ourselves to some observer when pressed about religion. For all of our accomplishments I'd feel about 2 inches tall trying to wave that one away.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
