Barack Obama Versus Fundamentalism & Religious Sectarianism

An amazing & brave moral stance against the dogmatic prejudice of religion. A real surprise for an American politician.

"We are no longer a Christian nation."

"Folks haven't been reading the Bible."

"...universal rather than religion-specific values."

"...in a pluralistic society, we have no choice."

"...religion doesn't allow for compromise."

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.”

~Thomas Jefferson

“I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another.”

~Thomas Jefferson

“The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”

~1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by John Adams

Nice quotes from Mr. Jefferson to back up that we are not a christian nation, yet I shall warn you that the United States stands as a nation under God indivisible with liberties and justice for all. "In God we trust!" Never did our fathers mention gods which executed many religions. But what God are they talking about? Seeing through the true facts and beliefs of our founding father, there is no doubt that this nation stand under God, name Jesus!!!!

U B Trollin!

The original oath reads 'One nation indivisible..."

The "under god" part was added in the 1950's and insult to our principles and, when challenged, will be ruled unconstitutional.

"In god we trust" was put on all the money in the 1950's also.

Be gone Troll!

“Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, then that of blindfolded fear.”

~Thomas Jefferson

“In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”

~Thomas Jefferson

That's a good question!What God on dollar bill are they talking about?

You see! the God they're talking about,is the God they've made up.

First! they've setup a system.Secondly! they came up with

an old English translated name from German,which starts from,the word Gothic.And Third! that word,Gothic,was later transliterated down to,middle English down to new English,thru words progressions,from 2000 yrs ago and finally named God!! However,the idea word,God was transform,from Dog,whichs dogmatism

"And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this the most venerated reformer of human errors."- Thomas Jefferson

[rmm2592]

No wonder Christians hate Obama. He uses logical and reason to explain why he believes what he believes. Christians use faith and doctrine to justify their actions with out ever analyzing why they are doing it. Some people just like being told how to think and how to behave because it takes too much effort for them to do it themselves. I never understood why people pay money every Sunday just so some guy in a robe can tell them of much of a piece of shit they are and that they need Jesus.

Amen.
