What are the religiotards complaining about? They are the majority, they have successfully taken over the US. Why do they feel persecuted, if they are the ones doing the persecution. To me all the christian attacks on everyone else that are not of their faith reminds me for the Nuremberg rallies. Looks like the rise of the Forth Reich, with its master faith....
I respect believers just fine. I don't respect there beliefs in the slightest.
There's been this idea built up that because it's somebody's religious beliefs, you have to respect that. Why should anyones beliefs be any more immune to criticism than people who believe in Bigfoot or the tooth fairy? Blind faith is willful ignorance.
To all the Christians that are complaining about "under God" and "in God we trust" being removed, how would you feel if our money said "in Allah we trust"? Or the pledge said "under Ra"? I bet you'd be outraged, which makes you hypocrites and Jesus had a thing against hypocrites. You say you follow Jesus' messages, but yet you don't, which makes you double hypocrites.
"under god" was added during the Red Scare. It is blatantly anti-atheist and should be removed for reasons of discrimination. "In god we trust" was added to the money during the Civil War- people always turn to gods when times are tough.
They are painting atheists to be criminals when we are the only ones who seem to want to defend the part of our constitution that defines our seperation of church and state.
Every one on earth is entitled to his or her beliefs; however, I would rather believe in God and die and find out that there is no God than not believe and find out that there IS a God.
You should live your life and try to make the world a better place for your being in it, whether or not you believe in God. If there is no God, you have lost nothing and will be remembered fondly by those you left behind. If there is a benevolent God, he may judge you on your merits coupled with your commitments, and not just on whether or not you believed in him.
As a Christian I do believe in God. As an imperfect human I don't always behave as a Christian should. I believe you must open your heart to Jesus and let him take charge of your life. Good works are to be commended but I don't think they will get you into Heaven. JMO.
ah Pascals Wager: With many beliefs there are as many possilble afterlives. What if the hindus are right or the correct version is extinct (like the beleif in Jupiter or Zeus).
I rather not choose and be bound to the rules of the choosen beliefsystem. I would most likely be worng with my choice.
I choose to believe in God because I don't think we die and that's it. I believe in an afterlife that will be more glorious than anything we can imagine. I read my Holy Bible daily and Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice by dying by crucifixion and rising again in three days. Jesus says no man comes to the Father except by me.
i agree with you pastgoing, I'm a Christian myself. And God is real and have seen so through the bible and his prophecies in it. And not every christian is perfect. There will be mess ups and temptation. I love everyone even athiests because God says to love our enemies and its not always easy, and we should pray for them too. Christianity is considered religion but its really a relationship with God. I wish people would realize God is real. He's helped me a few times and shown me things. :)
So, your god rewards those who put their money on the best bet...Pascal's wager. Some punishment for those who actually act ethically but don't stoop to such wagers.
ReturnPhoneCalls: "their Creator" is both non-specific and possessive. If they meant that only the Judeo-Christian creator applies, they would have said "...That they are endowed by God.." Also they would not have written the very first line of the bill of rights as "Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion."
I'm agnostic but to that point, it's tough to separate the declaration from the constitution. Where do atheists derive their inalienable rights from? Nature?
If an individual does believe in God and divine creation, it stands to reason that a belief in Heaven and Hell follows suit.
Therefore, it is only your opinion and belief that an atheist would "burn", since an atheist dosn't believe in Hell. So you would be subjecting others to your personal faith which is a very judgmental and non-Christian stance if ever there was one.
NC is the bible belt and NO we do not want a politician that does NOT believe in God or takes money from atheists. Our country was founded on God and religion. If you don't like it MOVE.
Hey, retard - the country was founded on freedom of religion and separation of church and state. If you don't like it, move. I'm sick of you bible-thumpers trying to take over my country.
funny thing is....as much as this place becomes secular....u'll probably have to fight the muslims, then i'm sure if they kill you for non belief you'll change your mind. bible thumping isn't so bad now huh!!! please have mercy!!
"Support their agenda"--What the FUCK does that mean?! There IS no god. Fucking shit, these people need to be shot, I swear. People who are swayed by this should be shipped off to Antarctica.
I guess we need to look at every little meeting any politician ever had because they might be tied to something. Geeeesh, this ad is beyond despicable! It is sad desperation. Ms. Dole, I once really believed in you. I even voted for your husband at one time. Now I regret this!
OMG! She might not believe in God? She CAN'T BE AN AMERICAN! We're all required to believe in God in this country, it's one of the constitution's ten commandments! What has this country come to. Please God, come down and stop this godless women.
Did God ask them to sit outside the fundraiser and videotape it in peeping Tom fashion? That is super creepy, even if you ignore that this BS is geared toward ginning up the American equivalent on the Taliban, hardcore Christian Fundamentalists.
There is no god and you know it. That little voice of doubt in your head is actually the voice of reason. Listen to it, feed it, become free of slavery to antique mythologies.
God is real and you know it. you may not see it, but i'm sure you find out soon enough he is real. And if God lets something bad happen, he has a reason for it. He has reason for everything. God knows you before you were even born. Some of the bad things happening to people actually tests character. And in reality, The Bible teaches us respect and love, even to athiests and pray for them I hope athiests see that God is real. The bible even has prophecies that actually came true.
what! they want to take god off the money and the allegiance! jesus, this has gone waaaay tooo far man! we need those words dammit because this is america!
Pathetic just pathetic. The politics of fear! It has been mastered by the Republican party under the control of evangelical retards. Be afraid, be very afraid of non-believers. That is about all they have to go on. Fear this, fear that, fear fear fear. Pathetic!
Under god was shoe-horned into the pledge during the communist witch-hunts. But of course nothing but good has come from the decade that gave us the Palmer Raids. Not to mention it completely throws off the rhythm of the piece.
I also like how they tried to make it seem as if secularists would like to "BAN CHRISTMAS" in a big bold font but have the qualifier "as a federal holiday" in smaller font.
Even if you are a christian, you should be insulted at the contempt for your intelligence here.
Not until the last 25 seconds did I realize this was a pro-religious video. She's great and they did a poor job demonizing atheism. We still live in the middle ages and this century will probably be the time in which rationality is pushed back with religious darkness taking its place.
This is hilarious! All throughout this video they say "godless" as if it's the most horrible thing on earth. What they need to realize is that all children are born godless. And if they are raised by people who know better than to indoctrinate helpless children, those children will remain godless unless they decide otherwise themselves.
We can say not being superstitious is illegal or we can come to the realization that god is an invention. When religions meet they do not strengthen each other. More likely they cause questions that highlight their own fallibility. America has been insular in a sense compared to other Western countries. Soon it will experience this change. In fact it is happening now.
Agnostism is for pussies and mincers. If there's utterly no evidence for it, and utterly no sensible reason to think it would be true, then it's "accurate" in practical terms to say it doesn't exist.
I say that the spaghetti monster doesn't exist, not that I don't know one way or the other.
If I were one day proved wrong, then I say "Hey, the world's stranger than fiction."
Ok, if you are an atheist, then you are one of two things.
An agnostic atheist, such as myself.
or
A gnostic atheist.
It is based solely on the fact that we don't know. So to say that there is no god puts you in the category of gnostic, which is ok if that's what you are going for. But you even claim to be agnostic yourself.
Honestly, I'm not sure what you're trying to say with your babbling. The simple fact is: it is only a matter of linguistic obsessiveness to be "carefully agnostic" about any old thing anybody chooses to make up.
It's equally silly to be agnostic about huge masses of pink sharks floated throughout the ether as it is about supernatural beings pulling invisible strings in the world.
Freshmanrob: "So you are a gnostic atheist? You claim that there is no god? I'm not talking about being obsessive. Either you know, or you don't. It's as simple as that."
What I am is an adult. You're a boy, still struggling...
I've already explained myself in full, with my very first post (the third post on this video). Apparently, you're simply unable to understand it.
Agnosticism is more purely philosophical, while atheism is more practical.
When you wake up the in morning, going about your daily shit, you make the assumption that there isn't a magical sky man watching you jerk off to yiff art.
You don't go around thinking, well there could be magical sky man watching me taking a shit or maybe there isn't I just don't know there's no evidence either way, it can't really be known.
Methinks you do not know that agnosticism and atheism aren't exclusive. They are two separate descriptions. agnostic/gnostic = don't know/know
atheist/theist = no belief in god/belief in god.
Everybody is a combination of the two words.
Gnostic atheist
Agnostic atheist
gnostic theist
agnostic theist
I make no assumptions about magic men. I don't know either way. It's pointless to speculate. But you absolutely could ponder the existence of the magical man watching you shit...
