I just wish that Olbermann would do a "Bill Maher" and come out of the atheist closet...Rachel? You can come out too! Facts have a liberal and an atheist bias!

[BillOralRushRimjob]

We all know Olbermann is atheist/agnostic. He needs to just come out and say it. lol

[RequiemFear]

Damn, people are still using the "evolution is a theory, not a fact" line? A scientific theory is different, lol. You'd think that these people might know this by now...

@Standonarock Cry me a river, cunt.

[SuperBrobot]

I just realized that 24 hour periods don't make any sense if the planet doesn't exist yet.

@Standonarock That Christians aren't allowed to use schools and government office as a pulpit for spreading their beliefs is enshrined in the constitution; if you feel this makes you a victim, you may be living in the wrong country. I invite you to emigrate to one of the several third-world theocracies of the world.

[dorianXsapiens]

@Standonarock This is an example of a rhetorical device known as claiming victim status. In point of fact, Everyone, irrespective of religious affiliation, is allowed in public schools--which you well know to be true, and so do all the rest of us. In point of fact, 85% of current US Senators and 89% of the House are Christians (Pew Forum); 86% of US Presidents have been Christians. I and other taxpayers pay higher taxes so Christians can go to chuch without government intervention.

One of the brightest people in the world allowed to speak uninterrupted on an interesting subject, never thought I'd see that on cable news.

@Standonarock How do you think we feel when we go to school to try to learn actual science and they try to teach creationism? Not even a real science! And you pay for that. Evolution is a fact if it goes against your bronze age religion or not! Its FREEDOM to learn FACTS in school and still be able to go home and do a bible study or go to church and decipher if you want to go along with fact or fiction ON YOUR OWN..... SO yes there is freedom here. DONT TRY TO PUSH GOD OR HIS STORIES ON PEOPLE.

All I want too do Is tea bag someone!

[Standonarock]

I'm thankful I live in an open minded society like America where people have religious freedom and the freedom to speak those religious views without being persecuted. Oh wait, we Christians aren't allowed in the school, we aren't allowed in government, we aren't even allowed in the church without government intervention, so what exactly are we allowed to do in this free country? Why do Christians have to pay for people to learn things we don't believe in and are against our religion?
