We have a family membership in FFRF. Light a candle rather than cursing the darkness. Join and encourage others to do the same.

hey, countryfirst76,..Most children are forced into religion from nearly birth,...which the child can do nothing about, so when was I forced into religion?(I WAS TOO YOUNG TO KNOW)

Separation of church and state goes both ways. Government can't FORCE religious institutions or people to do things with which they don't agree just as religious people and institutions cannot force government to do anything at all. It's embarrassing to me as an atheist to have someone who supposedly represents me pretty much lambasting the rights of other citizens. Our belief there is no deity is a belief just as others believe there is/are deit(ies). It doesn't make us better or smarter.

It wasn't a logical statement. It was a rhetorical question.

[Countryfirst1776]

My question is...When were you eve forced into religion?

[Countryfirst1776]

the church is not forcing anyone to "do anything"..so what is you logic here?

[Countryfirst1776]

Actually it shows a leader that demands total respect and allegiance. two concepts foreign to non believers because they feel they are better than anything or anyone else...but then they can't even control their own animal instinct so why should we follow them.

[Countryfirst1776]

The bible gives you the freedom to agree ot disagree or to believe or not believe and at the end of the day if they do not want to provide BC then why should they have too...here is your birth control take this rock and hold it with you knees...Yeah keep you legs closed and your pants on and your dick out of a female...BC given...no that will not work why..are you like a dog and can't control your sexual urges and for that the church has to pay.

[Countryfirst1776]

How does the church control you?
