as a biology student i ve a doubt..is Jesus haploid??have only 23 chromosomes in his nucleus,unlike other homosapians with 46 ,that too from "virgin" mother???does her ovum avoided that meiosis??if so do he had chromosomal diseases like "turners"??if not diploid how can he have a human form??{ please do answer these ,,avoid stupid answers like thats gods wish or gods way}
religious people are discriminated more.. atheists have it good since it is a secular country after all... stop complaining.. their aren't many religious laws .. most laws are secular
It would be good to get these archaic laws off the books.
I don't understand why lawmakers waste so much time with these nonsensical things when our communities face so many real and tangible problems that go unaddressed.
I see you have a troll here. I like your video. You did very well quoting the facts exactly as they are written. It is insane that things are like that here. Isn't the United States the second most religious nation after the middle east? Not much to be proud of huh. Everyone else though knows it isn't worth the time and its no big deal to be an atheist. There is nothing civilized about being over religious, passing laws in regards to it and discriminating againist atheists. Thumbs up for you.
When are you guys going to take action and restore authority over the Constitution of your country and finally set an example of governance, long lost to our feeble ideologies? When will, not being horribly stupid, finally outweigh the alleged virtues of self-delusion?
@proudfootz yes i want to be molested by a pale bald guy that looks like a fucking cancer patient. damn if you smarts gave you looks that would almost be possible. god bless.
@bbender1986 Did Jesus tell you to say that? ;) Oh well, like father like son but than again I'm referring to the earlier chapters in your imaginary friend's timeline. I like it how you uphold the Christians values of loving thy neighbour and to show the other cheek, you're a splitting image of the ideology of the mighty prophet/scam-artist known as Jesus. If only all religious people had your level of respect for their fellow man, your contribution to our species is priceless :)
@bbender1986 " fuck you. respect that" your cant be very well educated , if thats your best argument But it dosent suprise me. I'd give up if I were you, as youve already been handed your arse on a plate. to continue would just make you look even more stupid than you clearly, already are.
@proudfootz and that is the thanks i get for giving you tips that will help you making better videos!!! no i am not ashamed of showing my face, it is just that i dont have any reason what so ever to make videos dedicated to insult other people's religions :P speaking about faces, Mr potato called, he wants his big fat ugly face back :P
@bozzeed Noo, you're right. Muslims are more inclined to direct conflict, using weaponry and pathetic bronze age, desert peasant tribalism wrapped in a lovely lace of self-delusion indoctrinate from birth by even dumber people ;) You'd make your ancestors proud but than again, coming mostly from a 3rd world countries, I'd assume the bars aren't all that high to begin with. The golden age of Islam is a long way gone and I suspect it's not coming back any time soon ;)

"But no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." That is kind of ambiguous, especially in the 1700's. Does 'under the United States' mean states cannot have their own rules for office public trusts? Does it only refer to federal positions? This was before subsequent amendments.
@Saudara Link Article VI provides for a Constitutional override of all federal levels and lower government branches, and State Constitutions, in the event of conflict in the any laws of government with the US Constitution's supreme law; as it's Clause 2.
States never had a right to use religion as a qualification for public offices, trust, or to be a citizen. The states agreed to the US Constitutions terms with it's radification or admission to the Union, not a "states right".
@DarrelfromZeeland coming from someone wanting to impose christianity HAHAHA your funny i c u read the bible and quit swearing bible quran same shit i wipe my ass with
people quit being such an asshole, u look fine dude dont mind that crap.... but, im pissed about the fact that athiests are still very limited in whut they can do........................even though we have so-called "FREEDOM OF RELIGION"
Many of those laws were put in the books back when sodomy was illegal, and are not taken seriously. That said, they should clean it up. I think there's a site full of examples of silly laws- one place said an ugly person can't walk down the street.
I certainly agree on that. If you look at early American laws you can see the ancestry, it may be unconstitutional to have these laws, but culturally its very American. America is the stronghold of the militant prodisant, the puritan's and their lot. If you aren't a British Puritan you might as well be Satan- they really believed Irish immigrants worked for the pope in an attempt to take over America- this is the real culture of America, not the founding fathers ideas.
Atheism is not a religion, it has no protection of the freedom to excersise religion clause of the first amendment. Atheism was also excluded from the social contract theory by John Locke, and the social contract theory is the basis for our Constitution and Decleration of Independence. May I also remind everyone that the reason for seperation of church and state was not an attempt to remove God from USA, but an attempt to avoid established churches like that of England and Rome.
This video details some of the unConstitutional 'religious tests' put on the books by religious fanatics.
You're right - atheism is not a religion (despite what some kooks claim) but the Constitution protects all of us (believers and atheists alike) when it keeps religion out of government.
Well the reliigous test is unconstitutional, but in God we trust in our currency, motton, and pledge is completely constitutional. Also I would have to disagree with protection of atheism, it only states the prohibition of goverment experience of free exercise of religion, nowhere does it mentions Atheists. That's why I mentioned Locke excluding Atheists from the social contract theory.
I agree the advertising for religion on money and the mutilated pledge are also unConstitutional.
No need to mention atheists in protecting all US citizens from religious control of government - it's just a natural consequence.
Locke was under the false impression that atheism was inconsistent with morality - so he was a victim of theological propaganda and will have to be excused for that blunder.
Locke also had a thing about excluding Catholics from his idea of 'religious toleration'.
No, I never said God in our currecny was unconstitutional. It isn't, it doesn't establish a religion, a common misconceptiong among people is that God equals religion, when god itself is a generic term and many times isn't the same as religion. For example, Deism isn't a religion, and the Buddhist religion doesn't believe in God. Also, what you said after that was an assumption...
The motto of the United States approved by the Founders was 'e pluribus unum'. Only after they were safely dead did religious fanatics start agitating to blasphemously put references to gods on our money.
Advertising for a god on money clearly violates the separation of church and state.
It wasn't until the 1950's that the present mutilated Pledge was officially adopted - no mention of any gods in the original version.
Yes, that was the original motto. Also, you're obviously making an assumption, it was not religious fanatics that caused the 'in God we trust' motto. It was in fact Atheist fanatics who caused it, let me explain, it was added in 1956, it a defiance towards communism. You do know that in communism, atheism is an ideal necessary for communism, and communists tried to wipe religion out, they banned it. Stalin in fact killed hundred of thousands of priests.
You're wrong about the religious ad on money - it began during the Civil War (the Conferderate Constitution was littered with religious citations and some apparently feared a 'god gap').
@proudfootz: "Advertising for a god on money clearly violates the separation of church and state."
Are you blind, or did you not see the comment about God not being necessarily religion. There is no doubt that the State recognizes a Supreme Being, but the state doesn't support a religion or the church. The seperation of church and state, the father's original intent, was to avoid something like Italy's catholicism and England's Anglican church. Here's a quote by Einsehower 1956:
I am not blind - I did see your claim that god has nothing to do with religion. I think you'll find most religions in this country have gods which are worshipped.
"In these days when imperialistic and materialistic Communism seeks to attack and destroy freedom, it is proper" to "remind all of us of this self-evident truth" that "as long as this country trusts in God, it will prevail." -President Eisenhower
I wouldn't blame them, godless commis killed more than 120 million in Russia and China alone. That's more than all wars and individual crimes combined. :o
I think you'll find that religious belief persisted in those countries which were nominally communist - so there was a definite gap between the official doctrine and what the people actually believed.
Many nations and empires have gone into extinction despite their faith in their gods. Eisenhower was wrong.
Did you even read Eisenhower's quotes, you really are an idiot for syaing what you siad, it had nothing to do with Eisenhower's quote. I sometimes wonder if you actually read the comments at all, you're losing my patience.
.... Why was Locke mistaken? Also Locke was clearly a Deist Christian, an dhe attacked organized religion and thought of seperation of church and state, calling him biased just because you fee like it doesn't make it so. I suggest you think about comments before you say them. Also, him excluding roman Catholics from religious toleration was good, most Catholis at the time were assholes, they didn't tolerate anyone, do you even know why he said what he said or are you blindly stating things?
I have put some thought into my comments. It has been a common error among theists to assume there's something inconsistent between atheism and morality. But studies show atheists are as good (or better) citizens than believers.
Locke's religious intolerance versus the tolerance of the Founders shows there was no slavish following of the philosopher among the statesmen who founded this secular nation.
Sorry that my valid points seem to upset your prejudices.
No it isn't a misconcpetion. There is no reason for Atheists to be moral, the concept of morality doesn't even exist in an atheistic sense, morality is subjective to each person. Also, I could care less about the studies, I have seen studies that show religious people are happier, stay in school more, and are less inclined to suicide, drugs, and crimes. Mind providing me with studies, I'll provide you with the studies I found if you PM them to me.
Give me the evidence, give me the statistics over a PM and I'll send you a PM about how Atheists are more likely to be in trouble by the law than religious people. Also, just because people claim to be Christian doesn't make it so. How could loving your enemies cause you to kill people in rive by shootings and go to jail? Haha, your argument is stupid, you're making a correlation/causation fallacy. Furthermore, it isn't about Atheists but Atheism.
You're making less and less sense the more you post.
First you say god has nothing to do with religion, and now atheists have nothing to do with atheism.
If they believe in god, they're not atheists, and they rape, murder, and steal more than non-believers do. Jails are full of them, but atheists don't seem as inclined to engage in immoral behavior.
Uhh, you obviously don't understand what I meant. The point I was making was that if you're an Atheist, there is no such thing as morality. Non-believers aren't Atheists, they're non-religious people. There are non-believers who believe in God you idiot, furthermore I could care less what these people do, I have explained just because someone claism to be a Christian doesn't make it so. Also, you're once again using a corellation/causation fallacy, so much for reason.
Obviously you are wrong as evidence shows atheists behave every bit as morally as theists do - if not more so.
An atheist is simply someone who does not believe in gods - that's what non-believer means. How can a non-believer in gods believe in a god? You're very confused.
It's sad that I have to explain every little thing to you.
the term non-believer refers to a non-religious person, Deists and panentheists are non-believers, do I have to explain everything to you? You're too old and stupid to understand these things.
No, just because Atheists act in a way doesn't mean a thing. They're obviously influenced by their culture's ethics to do moral things. Atheism if left without a religious backround leads to many bad things, look at Russia when people 'forgot about God', it led to 60 million deaths (more than WWII).
I was merely explaining what I meant by 'non-believer': one who does not believe.
If you choose to make it mean whatever you like that's your business - but no cause to get upset at me because of your lack of comprehension.
You seem to forget that the USSR had a major famine and that WWII was fought on their soil. The millions of deaths you falsely attribute to atheism indicate your inability to discuss matters sensibly.
If you were explaining that, then you had what you said to be wrong. non-believer by definition means non-theists, not only ATheists. If you're going to talk about people who don't believe in God, call them Atheists nothing more. Those millions of deaths ahve nothing to do with the war, you falsely acuse me of thinking the deatsh of WW2 count in this picture, they don't. 60 million is the ammount of deatsh the goverment caused, which was communist and atheist driven. research...
You have done nothing to support any contention that deaths attributed to the actions of a dictator have anything to do with communism or atheism. Dictators of every stripe kill people - that's their job.
The facts show that it is believers in gods (mainly christians in the USA) who fill up the jails - not atheists.
Clearly atheism has nothing to do with whether one is immoral or not.
@proudfootz: "Dictators of every stripe kill people - that's their job."
Yes, I know, Christians kill, Atheists kill, so do Muslims, Buddhsits, even pacifists kill. The thing is that, is it the philosophy of what their beliefs that led them to do it? For example, is it rational to say I killed people in the name of Christianity because Jesus told me to love my enemies and not to get anrgy elt alone kill? No, of course, but Atheism has no moral stance from which to stand on.
Finally you seem to be catching on - belief in a god or gods doesn't give anyone any more morality that those who do not believe in such things.
Therefore it makes no sense to leave some of the most moral people on earth out of any so-called social contract simply because they do not believe in any gods.
No, but it gives a reason to. In fact, Genesis argues that huamnity has an innate sense of morality embeded in us naturally, most likely through evolutionary processes. Atheism is the destroyer of morality, even if you knwo something is right or wrong, Atheism destroys the establishment of doing so. You don't seem to be catching on.
Uhh, that doesn't mean a thing. They follow morality because their cultures automatically pressupose their existance, which ahd their base of theistic culture. In a metaphysical naturlaistic worldview (the doctrine of Atheism). Nothing has purpose, but the purpose each subjective individual gives it.) Nothing is objective, not even the laws of Physics because they have no purpose, meaning morality itself is not objective but subjective. If that's true, why is the morality of a killer immoral?
LMAO, the sole doctrine of Theism is taht the Universe has a purpose, Theism by default presupposes teleology. You're makign bare assertion fallacies, I hate people who try to claim to know things without even knowing what they're talking about.
Furthermore, I'm not a Jew, I'm a Christian. As a Christian the only thing I believe is that God endowed Jesus (or God incarnated himself as Jesus) to give an authoritive power of objective morality. Nothing more or less.
First of all, I'm not sure about all theism, but Christian Theism presupposes Teleology, a purpose in the Universe. You made the stupid mistake, like the idiot you are, to confuse the gods being of purpose when it was logical that it was the Universe, can you try an think?
Considering we're speaking on the Christian God or the Deist God, so refer to the being as God not god, because you're making a grammatical mistake. Can you name these mass murders?
So if your religion requires a belief in a purpose for the universe, what purpose does your god serve?
Do not be confused that I am an idiot just because I don't believe in magic.
No need to capitalize god. There's no possible confusion about what I'm talking about.
The god that allegedly sent jesus ordered all kinds of killings in the Old Testament. Get a copy and read it, then at least you'll have a chance of knowing what you are talking about.
What purpose does my God serve? That's irrelevent, has nothing to do with anything we're speaking of,a nd the question in itself doesn't make sense.
Yes there is a need to capitilize God, because when you're speaking about gods, you're speaking about an adjective, when you speak about God you're speaking of a supreme being.
I have read it, and you still don't seem to provide verses for me? Instead you resort to ad hominems, how logical of an Atheist.
The founding fathers had no tolerance for Atheists, have you even seen quotes of them talking about atheists? They have also no tolerance for intolerant religious people (like the Catholics Locke was trying to depict). Locke and the forefathers had alot in common.
I'm not upset in anyway, I'm glad we're having a discussion, but I do doubt you're making valid points. =p
You're blind aren't you, read some quotations on what they've said about Atheism. The majority of these people saw Atheism as a joke, and many, even Washington claimed this nation was meant for a "moral and religious nation" (i.e. not Atheists).
I'm talking about the motto, not money you idiot, I'm not wrong, we put 'In God We Trust" as our motto to get godless commis mad, god damn you're a deceiing person trying to lie when it's obvious.
Not blind - why not make arguments instead of off-base insults?
The Founders published a document without protest from any Americans saying the US government is not in any way based on the christian religion - This is a secular nation.
The Founders chose a secular motto and only after these statesmen were dead did anyone dare put 'god' on the money or establish a religious motto.
Yes, I could care less if they said it wasn't a Christian Nation. It is a religious God believing Nation without a doubt, our goverment aknowledges a Supreme Being. Secular doesn't necessarily mean Atheist, you're making huge idiotic mistake. Also, we're not talking about money, so stop going into that already. I'm talking about the nationl motton, and it didn't matter if the fathers were dead, it was not because of their deaths that they wrote it in, but because of godless commis.
No one has placed religion into goverment. The placing of God is not religious, how many times do I have to explain that? Are you a fool with a rant that everyone laughs at, do you honestly think there's a big conspiracy in the goverment to support Christianity? You know what, from now on I'll just consider you one of those zeitgeist or 2012 conspiracy nutjobs. You don't deserve to be talked to, but I'll enjoy talking to someone with a below 100 IQ.
It might possibly be poorly worded, but it seems the intent is an attack on citizens who happen to be atheists - otherwise why bring up 'god' and 'heaven' at all?
The surprising thig is, religious people hear about these facts and they just don't see anything wrong! And they say we atheists should respect their religious freedom. It would be comical if it was not tragical. Anyway, you can't do anything when people comment this video sayin, "you are ugly" or "I don't like your voice".
Never mind him, you are perfectly understandable and I thank and congratulate you for your making of this video, it's time to stand up and say "Enough is Enough"!
aar0n u make theists look good? yeah and u believe shit more than 2000 years old. so stop reacting and bitching when logic is thrown into the argument.
Most of the anti-atheistic laws in politics have simply not yet been contested. However, with the major stereotypes being perpetuated by religious extremes in the US, it isn't likely they'll be overturned, despite their exact purpose of restricting equality.
Like I said read up on CULTURES. Perhaps we today may not follow these examples as ancient people did. It was not unlawful, nor immoral back then for a man to take a women who was help captive as his wife. But this was an infantile nation of people who were being guided and taught by GOD.
If ANYTHING it proves God can and has influenced society and culture for our betterment!
It's funny to hear this 'situational ethics' argument coming from someone who believes what these ancient primitive cultures wrote about.
If the bible were true, then 'god' didn't have to wait for anything and could have 'reddemed' mankind without waiting for these proimitive cultures to become entrenched in the 1st place.
Exodus 21:7-11: The laws in this chapter relate to the fifth and sixth commandments:The servant, in the state of servitude, was an emblem of that state of bondage to sin.
Yet still does not identify you're claim God told men to have sex with children
2 Samuel 12: 11-14: Again no talk of sex with children."and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor" It appears from David's case, that even where pardon is obtained, the Lord will visit the transgression of his people with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. For one momentary gratification of a vile lust, David had to endure many days and years of extreme distress. (2Sa 12:15-25)
So someday I'm gonna run for president and I can't be on the ballot of Mississippi,North Carolina,Pennsylvania,Tennessee,and Texas?!?!?! That is complete Bullshit!
For divorce stats I can't find stats on exactly how many nonbelievers marry compared to how many religious people actually *practice religion then divorce. Perhaps if we use unwed couples or those atheists who co-habituate at larger numbers then those who practice religion (which many atheist sites use the % as 51% higher rate) we'll get a truthful answer. If more atheists never marry of course the divorce rate will be lower.
However IF atheists continue to use these stats it proves that the "nonreligious" segment of the prison population does indeed seem significantly higher than the religious segment.
nonbelievers are more likely to go to prison within their population then *practicing* Christians within their population.
...after all, christian evangelicals keep saying it only takes 'faith' not 'practice' to be in good with god - that's a good argument for lumping the 99%+ of believers together.
I think maybe that less than 1% of so-called atheists aren't actually *practicing* atheists.
So people who believe in god(s) over-represented among criminals in prisons.
An Evangelical Christians Faith is to place his faith entirely in the finished work of Christ on the cross. So yes, Christians live by faith. There is nothing that anyone can do to earn salvation.
However, steadfast resistance to the lure of the ways of the world (2:15-17) comes through regular prayer, scripture study, and attendance at worship services because it is part of our spiritual growth (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25) Church is the place where believers can love one another (1 John 4:12), encourage one another (Hebrews 3:13), spur one another (Hebrews 10:24), serve one another (Galatians 5:13) cont..
instruct one another (Romans 15:14), honor one another (Romans 12:10), and be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32). "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 1 John 1:7
And the segment of the prison population which self-identifies as non-religious is approximately twice as large as found in the general population. In the federal prisoner statistics, a full 20% of the respondents either answered "none" or provided no response to the question on religious affiliation. These stats do NOT prove people who practice religion are more likely to be criminals. They do however provide stats for mere religious self-identification stats.
The only thing your data shows is that most prisoners said they were Christians. The stats are based only on religious preference. There is absolute no study on religion and crime.
A disproportionately high number of prisoners were not in any way practicing religionist prior to incarceration. That is, they exhibited none of the standard sociological measures of religiosity, such as regular prayer, scripture study, and attendance at worship services.
In American culture today, many women are seduced by young men and when she is not pleasing to him she is abandoned without the protection of marriage vows or moral values of any kind. She is often left to raise children on her own. I would consider that rape!
Sex with three-year olds who have just watched you murder their whole family is okay in your book, but adults who have consensual relations are 'raping' each other?
Numbers 31: 7-18: Again read the whole chapter! This explains the executions of the nations which had filled the measure of their sins. (Nu 31:7-12) Unless it can be proved that the wicked Canaanites did not deserve their doom, objectors only prove their dislike to God, and their love to his enemies. They took the women and children captives. Nothing in this verse or chapter describe sex with three year olds!
I explained Deuteronomy already. Look into the culture of OT times and why women of war were taken by the "winner". Nowhere in any verse so far have I seen men having sex or relations of any kind with 3 year olds.
Apparently there was no righteous who resided. God's righteousness requires the judgment of all sin. I suppose the world knows where Atheists stand on parents killing their own children since apparently these are individuals you defend for such immoral acts.
All we know is some fruit-cake woke up one morning, said "god told me we should kill the neighbors and take their children as our sex-slaves" and the other guys said "well, if god says that, we'd better do it or we won't be righteous" so they went next door and killed and looted and raped.
Nowhere in the Bible does God tell the believers to rape women. Your claims are empirically false.
In OT times women who were not a part of a family were disgraced and often mistreated. Since God ordered the death of the wicked the virgins who obviously had no children to burn nor were the cause for disease were taken care of, along with the children.
The fact is that God warned any righteous people who were in these cities beforehand. He told them to turn from their wickedness.
So you think if your neighbor came to your house, murdered your family, stole all your stuff, and 'married' your three-year old sister that wouldn't be rape?
Good to know - glad I don't live in your neighborhood!
Im not surprised youd comfort yourself with such reasoning, after all killing viable preborn babies (AKA choice or abortion) is legal and youre okay with that, and your probably okay with fetal stem cell research also.
Judges 21: 10- 24 Humm... read the whole chapter! God did NOT approve of the this. The chapter teaches that the Benjamites should have sought forgiveness in the appointed way, rather than attempt to avoid the guilt of perjury by actions quite as wrong. That men can advise others to acts of treachery or violence, out of a sense of duty, forms a strong proof of the blindness of the human mind when left to itself, and of the fatal effects of a conscience under ignorance and error.
You fail to mention why God ordered his people to drive out idolaters and the wicked. They were not innocent. They were killing their own sons and daughters by burning them in sacrifices to their gods, and their wickedness was the cause of the spread of disease due to sexual immorality.
We don't know that some alleged god told anyone anything.
Some tribal leader said: "god told me we should go to the neighboring village, kill all the adults, steal their material possessions, and rape the girls under three years old."
Yep and Baylors Institute for Studies of Religion released a Study that says atheists are more irrational. Seems that all atheists, secularists, humanists and rationalists are susceptible to superstition: "It's the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense, and can't see things as they are." says MOLLIE ZIEGLER HEMINGWAY a writer for The Wall Street Journal.
Look at the bible-approved things that she thinks people shouldn't take up: "belief in such SUPERSTITIONS as ghosts ('soul' lives after death), psychic healing (jesus was forever doing this), haunted houses, demonic possession (didn't jesus cast out some demons?), clairvoyance (ever heard of 'prophecy'?) and witches (thou shalt not suffer them)."
What kind of christian wants you to denounce the bible as full of superstition?
Before I go .. Quickly I'll give you a reason I bring up minorities particularly black. They always quote stats on how there are more white people are on welfare yet they forget to spilt it by population. You have that in common with them and I'll show you why.

"But no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." That is kind of ambiguous, especially in the 1700's. Does 'under the United States' mean states cannot have their own rules for office public trusts? Does it only refer to federal positions? This was before subsequent amendments.

Atheism is not a religion, it has no protection of the freedom to excersise religion clause of the first amendment. Atheism was also excluded from the social contract theory by John Locke, and the social contract theory is the basis for our Constitution and Decleration of Independence. May I also remind everyone that the reason for seperation of church and state was not an attempt to remove God from USA, but an attempt to avoid established churches like that of England and Rome.

This video details some of the unConstitutional 'religious tests' put on the books by religious fanatics.
You're right - atheism is not a religion (despite what some kooks claim) but the Constitution protects all of us (believers and atheists alike) when it keeps religion out of government.
proudfootz 2 years ago
@proudfootz :
Well the reliigous test is unconstitutional, but in God we trust in our currency, motton, and pledge is completely constitutional. Also I would have to disagree with protection of atheism, it only states the prohibition of goverment experience of free exercise of religion, nowhere does it mentions Atheists. That's why I mentioned Locke excluding Atheists from the social contract theory.
ogirv101 2 years ago
I agree the advertising for religion on money and the mutilated pledge are also unConstitutional.
No need to mention atheists in protecting all US citizens from religious control of government - it's just a natural consequence.
Locke was under the false impression that atheism was inconsistent with morality - so he was a victim of theological propaganda and will have to be excused for that blunder.
Locke also had a thing about excluding Catholics from his idea of 'religious toleration'.
proudfootz 2 years ago
@proudfootz :
No, I never said God in our currecny was unconstitutional. It isn't, it doesn't establish a religion, a common misconceptiong among people is that God equals religion, when god itself is a generic term and many times isn't the same as religion. For example, Deism isn't a religion, and the Buddhist religion doesn't believe in God. Also, what you said after that was an assumption...
ogirv101 2 years ago
The motto of the United States approved by the Founders was 'e pluribus unum'. Only after they were safely dead did religious fanatics start agitating to blasphemously put references to gods on our money.
Advertising for a god on money clearly violates the separation of church and state.
It wasn't until the 1950's that the present mutilated Pledge was officially adopted - no mention of any gods in the original version.
proudfootz 2 years ago
@proudfootz :
Yes, that was the original motto. Also, you're obviously making an assumption, it was not religious fanatics that caused the 'in God we trust' motto. It was in fact Atheist fanatics who caused it, let me explain, it was added in 1956, it a defiance towards communism. You do know that in communism, atheism is an ideal necessary for communism, and communists tried to wipe religion out, they banned it. Stalin in fact killed hundred of thousands of priests.

You're wrong about the religious ad on money - it began during the Civil War (the Conferderate Constitution was littered with religious citations and some apparently feared a 'god gap').

Are you blind, or did you not see the comment about God not being necessarily religion. There is no doubt that the State recognizes a Supreme Being, but the state doesn't support a religion or the church. The seperation of church and state, the father's original intent, was to avoid something like Italy's catholicism and England's Anglican church. Here's a quote by Einsehower 1956:

I have put some thought into my comments. It has been a common error among theists to assume there's something inconsistent between atheism and morality. But studies show atheists are as good (or better) citizens than believers.
Locke's religious intolerance versus the tolerance of the Founders shows there was no slavish following of the philosopher among the statesmen who founded this secular nation.

No it isn't a misconcpetion. There is no reason for Atheists to be moral, the concept of morality doesn't even exist in an atheistic sense, morality is subjective to each person.

ogirv101 2 years ago
Obviously you are wrong as evidence shows atheists behave every bit as morally as theists do - if not more so.
An atheist is simply someone who does not believe in gods - that's what non-believer means. How can a non-believer in gods believe in a god? You're very confused.
It's sad that I have to explain every little thing to you.
proudfootz 2 years ago
the term non-believer refers to a non-religious person, Deists and panentheists are non-believers, do I have to explain everything to you? You're too old and stupid to understand these things.
No, just because Atheists act in a way doesn't mean a thing. They're obviously influenced by their culture's ethics to do moral things. Atheism if left without a religious backround leads to many bad things, look at Russia when people 'forgot about God', it led to 60 million deaths (more than WWII).

@proudfootz: "Dictators of every stripe kill people - that's their job."
Yes, I know, Christians kill, Atheists kill, so do Muslims, Buddhsits, even pacifists kill. The thing is that, is it the philosophy of what their beliefs that led them to do it? For example, is it rational to say I killed people in the name of Christianity because Jesus told me to love my enemies and not to get anrgy elt alone kill? No, of course, but Atheism has no moral stance from which to stand on.
ogirv101 2 years ago
Finally you seem to be catching on - belief in a god or gods doesn't give anyone any more morality that those who do not believe in such things.
Therefore it makes no sense to leave some of the most moral people on earth out of any so-called social contract simply because they do not believe in any gods.
proudfootz 2 years ago
No, but it gives a reason to. In fact, Genesis argues that huamnity has an innate sense of morality embeded in us naturally, most likely through evolutionary processes. Atheism is the destroyer of morality, even if you knwo something is right or wrong, Atheism destroys the establishment of doing so. You don't seem to be catching on.

Uhh, that doesn't mean a thing. They follow morality because their cultures automatically pressupose their existance, which ahd their base of theistic culture. In a metaphysical naturlaistic worldview (the doctrine of Atheism). Nothing has purpose, but the purpose each subjective individual gives it.) Nothing is objective, not even the laws of Physics because they have no purpose, meaning morality itself is not objective but subjective. If that's true, why is the morality of a killer immoral?
ogirv101 2 years ago
In the theistic world their gods do not have a purpose or reason for being.
Even the theists have to decide whether it is right to do as their various gods demand.
Indeed these gods very often demand the murder of our fellow human beings (the bible is loaded with such crimes).
Perhaps that explains why there's more believers in jail than atheists.
proudfootz 2 years ago
LMAO, the sole doctrine of Theism is taht the Universe has a purpose, Theism by default presupposes teleology. You're makign bare assertion fallacies, I hate people who try to claim to know things without even knowing what they're talking about.
Furthermore, I'm not a Jew, I'm a Christian. As a Christian the only thing I believe is that God endowed Jesus (or God incarnated himself as Jesus) to give an authoritive power of objective morality. Nothing more or less.
ogirv101 2 years ago
The sole definition of theism is belief in one or more gods - that has nothing to do with purpose - you are clearly lost.
So what purpose do these gods serve - what is their teleology?
That still doesn't solve the existential problem of why should we do as we are told by these gods.
The jesus written of in the bible stood behind the Old Testament 100% - the same god that sent him also ordered mass murder.
If morality is truly objective we can see that this god was evil.
proudfootz 2 years ago
First of all, I'm not sure about all theism, but Christian Theism presupposes Teleology, a purpose in the Universe. You made the stupid mistake, like the idiot you are, to confuse the gods being of purpose when it was logical that it was the Universe, can you try an think?
Considering we're speaking on the Christian God or the Deist God, so refer to the being as God not god, because you're making a grammatical mistake. Can you name these mass murders?
ogirv101 2 years ago
So if your religion requires a belief in a purpose for the universe, what purpose does your god serve?

What purpose does my God serve? That's irrelevent, has nothing to do with anything we're speaking of,a nd the question in itself doesn't make sense.
Yes there is a need to capitilize God, because when you're speaking about gods, you're speaking about an adjective, when you speak about God you're speaking of a supreme being.

If more atheists never marry of course the divorce rate will be lower.

However IF atheists continue to use these stats it proves that the "nonreligious" segment of the prison population does indeed seem significantly higher than the religious segment.
nonbelievers are more likely to go to prison within their population then *practicing* Christians within their population.

...after all, christian evangelicals keep saying it only takes 'faith' not 'practice' to be in good with god - that's a good argument for lumping the 99%+ of believers together.
I think maybe that less than 1% of so-called atheists aren't actually *practicing* atheists.
So people who believe in god(s) over-represented among criminals in prisons.

An Evangelical Christians Faith is to place his faith entirely in the finished work of Christ on the cross. So yes, Christians live by faith. There is nothing that anyone can do to earn salvation.

Yes, 'believers' are over-represented among the criminals in jail, while 'unbelievers' are not.
Therefore unconstitutional laws against atheists are a bad idea.

However, steadfast resistance to the lure of the ways of the world (2:15-17) comes through regular prayer, scripture study, and attendance at worship services because it is part of our spiritual growth (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25) Church is the place where believers can love one another (1 John 4:12), encourage one another (Hebrews 3:13), spur one another (Hebrews 10:24), serve one another (Galatians 5:13) cont..

Now does all this 'practice' or religion explain why so many pastors commit fornications with their congregations?

instruct one another (Romans 15:14), honor one another (Romans 12:10), and be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32). "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 1 John 1:7

And the segment of the prison population which self-identifies as non-religious is approximately twice as large as found in the general population. In the federal prisoner statistics, a full 20% of the respondents either answered "none" or provided no response to the question on religious affiliation. These stats do NOT prove people who practice religion are more likely to be criminals. They do however provide stats for mere religious self-identification stats.

Glad to see you've abandoned the 'belief in god(s)' as making people more 'moral'.
Now it's 'practicing religion'.
Still less atheists doing time than believers...

The only thing your data shows is that most prisoners said they were Christians. The stats are based only on religious preference. There is absolute no study on religion and crime.
A disproportionately high number of prisoners were not in any way practicing religionist prior to incarceration. That is, they exhibited none of the standard sociological measures of religiosity, such as regular prayer, scripture study, and attendance at worship services.

But less than 1% don't believe in god : thus atheists are more law-abiding.

According to the DOJ Bureau of Justice Statistics while 72% affirmed affiliation with religious institutions,
only 54% of Federal and State Prisoners actually consider themselves religious, and 33% can be confirmed to be practicing their religion.

In American culture today, many women are seduced by young men and when she is not pleasing to him she is abandoned without the protection of marriage vows or moral values of any kind. She is often left to raise children on her own. I would consider that rape!

Sex with three-year olds who have just watched you murder their whole family is okay in your book, but adults who have consensual relations are 'raping' each other?
Good to know what christian values are!

It's all in the bible: kill the adults and 'marry' the three-year olds.
Judges 21: 10- 24
Numbers 31: 7-18
Deuteronomy 20: 10-14
2 Samuel 12: 11-14
Exodus 21:7-11
Nice!
All because some guy said "god told me we should."

Numbers 31: 7-18: Again read the whole chapter! This explains the executions of the nations which had filled the measure of their sins. (Nu 31:7-12) Unless it can be proved that the wicked Canaanites did not deserve their doom, objectors only prove their dislike to God, and their love to his enemies. They took the women and children captives. Nothing in this verse or chapter describe sex with three year olds!

Genocide because some dude *said* god spoke to him.
No evidence that any 'god' ordered wholesalle murder of neighbors and child rape.

I explained Deuteronomy already. Look into the culture of OT times and why women of war were taken by the "winner". Nowhere in any verse so far have I seen men having sex or relations of any kind with 3 year olds.

Funny how this 'god' changes over time - and here we thought what's right is right, and what is wrong is wrong.
Turns out it's 'situational ethics' in the bible!

Apparently there was no righteous who resided. God's righteousness requires the judgment of all sin. I suppose the world knows where Atheists stand on parents killing their own children since apparently these are individuals you defend for such immoral acts.
dadealeo88 3 years ago
All we know is some fruit-cake woke up one morning, said "god told me we should kill the neighbors and take their children as our sex-slaves" and the other guys said "well, if god says that, we'd better do it or we won't be righteous" so they went next door and killed and looted and raped.
Nice!

Nowhere in the Bible does God tell the believers to rape women. Your claims are empirically false.
In OT times women who were not a part of a family were disgraced and often mistreated. Since God ordered the death of the wicked the virgins who obviously had no children to burn nor were the cause for disease were taken care of, along with the children.
The fact is that God warned any righteous people who were in these cities beforehand. He told them to turn from their wickedness.
dadealeo88 3 years ago
So you think if your neighbor came to your house, murdered your family, stole all your stuff, and 'married' your three-year old sister that wouldn't be rape?
Good to know - glad I don't live in your neighborhood!

Im not surprised youd comfort yourself with such reasoning, after all killing viable preborn babies (AKA choice or abortion) is legal and youre okay with that, and your probably okay with fetal stem cell research also.

Judges 21: 10- 24 Humm... read the whole chapter! God did NOT approve of the this. The chapter teaches that the Benjamites should have sought forgiveness in the appointed way, rather than attempt to avoid the guilt of perjury by actions quite as wrong. That men can advise others to acts of treachery or violence, out of a sense of duty, forms a strong proof of the blindness of the human mind when left to itself, and of the fatal effects of a conscience under ignorance and error.
dadealeo88 3 years ago
You fail to mention why God ordered his people to drive out idolaters and the wicked. They were not innocent. They were killing their own sons and daughters by burning them in sacrifices to their gods, and their wickedness was the cause of the spread of disease due to sexual immorality.

We don't know that some alleged god told anyone anything.
Some tribal leader said: "god told me we should go to the neighboring village, kill all the adults, steal their material possessions, and rape the girls under three years old."
Only an evil spirit would demand such a thing.

Yep and Baylors Institute for Studies of Religion released a Study that says atheists are more irrational. Seems that all atheists, secularists, humanists and rationalists are susceptible to superstition: "It's the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense, and can't see things as they are." says MOLLIE ZIEGLER HEMINGWAY a writer for The Wall Street Journal.

LOL!
If I *don't* believe in magical invisible ghosts I'm 'susceptible to superstition'?
Seems the Baylor Institute has some pretty wacky ideas.

Read Mollie's article - hilarious!
Look at the bible-approved things that she thinks people shouldn't take up: "belief in such SUPERSTITIONS as ghosts ('soul' lives after death), psychic healing (jesus was forever doing this), haunted houses, demonic possession (didn't jesus cast out some demons?), clairvoyance (ever heard of 'prophecy'?) and witches (thou shalt not suffer them)."
What kind of christian wants you to denounce the bible as full of superstition?

maybe because scientists aren't the ones who collected those numbers.

6.25 billion people overall
25 million criminals overall (2/3 theist, 1/3 atheist)
0.4% population are criminals
5.25 billion theists
16.6 million theist criminals
0.32% of theist population are criminals
1 billion atheists
8.3 million atheist criminals
0.83% of atheist population are criminals
Therefore atheists are 262% more likely to be criminals than theists.
