Man created God in his own image

[lostmywings08]

If they allow (government endorsed) prayer for the military, those who don't pray will be seen as not supporting the troops...a nice way to make atheists seem unpatriotic. *sigh* Oh America, how far you have fallen...I sure hope secularism holds out....

[Cogitatio023]

Reason,and faith are a counteraction. Faith is to believe in something with out evidence. Reason is to use logic to forum your opinions.

@DontComeToMyChannel Well it is always a good idea to go out with laugh.

[ZSH2K10]

They didn't even let Barker talk....

@americanpersian Therefore God has a trisomy? Or is blind? Or has genetical disorder? Or God has a malformation? Mny men around the world live with any of these conditions, where was your God when they were formed? Was he taking a nap?

Fox has to be bias toward religion, because if they're not ratings will suffer. When the majority of America becomes atheist, they will switch sides. Theres no integrity in media or politics.

[rpcarnell]

Religions are dictatorships of the majority.

tough time they say? wtf you talking about??? you guys put yourself in that tough times by declaring war against other country.. Are americans that stupid? and why the fuck are they praying to God? so, is God gonna take side just because muslims have different approach on how they worship him?? wtf is wrong with religious DUMBASSES!!!!

[TheBlakearmstrong]

Thank you Faux news for your biased anti-atheist viewpoints. I sleep so much better at night realizing that you'd rather I live in a theocracy rather than respect my constitutional right to live under a secular government with no endorsement of religion at all. That's sarcasm btw. It doesn't matter what God you pray to if the government promotes prayer it's still a violation of the 1st Amendment.

[crazyfreak1919]

How far will something like this go, though; does Mr Barker suggest the government take away different statutory holidays such as Christmas and Easter? Even Labor Day: does this day not discriminate against the unemployed? Will they stop the promotion of the Gregorian calendar due to this compulsion to not promote any one particular religion in any way? This over-sensitive movement is poison. I understand and support separation of church and state, but this is embarrassing and total bullshit.
