all the brightest scientific minds of our time should abandon what they're doing(in their respective fields) and unite to work on a way to disprove god(and any other deities)

one day people will look back at these times in disbelief just like we do with the middle ages(or greek and roman gods which are now accepted by all to be "mythological")

the sooner that time comes,the better...its scary to think a WORLD LEADER believes in fairytales...peoples lives and futures are in these morons hands

@runtoth3abyss Here is another thing. During Obama's time in Indonesia, he attended a hardcore Islamic school which foreign national was banned from. Who paid for Obama'c college tuition? Why did he have a Social Security number in Conneticut? Why don't he release his college transcript? What about the articles he wrote in Harvard Law Review?

@runtoth3abyss Here is Section 1 of the 14th amendment honey: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the JURISDICTION THEREOF". "Jurisdiction thereof" means your mother and father are US citizen at the time of your birth. Obama was born in Hawai but his father was not a US citizen. Therefore, Obama is a NATIVE born citizen but not a NATURAL born. Here is the proof: "what passport did Obama use to go to Pakistan in 1981?" It can't be the US!

[runtoth3abyss]

@fxnooodle apparently you've never read the constitution where as long as you were born in the U.S. you are a citizen, it doesn't matter if your parents are foreign or not. And for the record Obama was born in Hawaii. You sir obviously never passed out of second grade history class.

The Christian right has no concept of history. They give Jesus a bad name.

@crystal9154 How about this novel fact: The economy is shit and jobs are scarce. People I know have extreme difficulty finding work; one friend didn't get a job for over a year, even though she went nearly every other day. Saying that you should just "get a job" is being utterly ignorant to the problems.
