Only 31 words --- Think about it
Isn't life strange?
I never met one Veteran who enlisted to fight for Socialism
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT
STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL!

If Muslims can pray on Madison Avenue, why are
Christians banned from praying in public and erecting religious displays on their holy days?
What happened to our National Day of Prayer? Obama says we can't have that, yet Muslims are allowed to block off Madison Ave. in N. Y. and pray in the middle of the street! And, it's a monthly ritual!
Tell me again, whose country is this? Ours or the Muslims?
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why
there is such a problem in having 'In God! We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance.
I believe it's time we stand up for what we believe!

@Elena9525 - Your Atheism likewise requires a belief system, has it's esteemed messiahs and brings together those with a spiritual basis grounded in the practice of Atheism. It is likewise a religion, or "a man-made cultivated system of belief and practice".

[ETHIOLOGIST1]

@Elena9525 -Likewise, I would not want to be subject to your determinations as a juror if your moral compass is based on an in-context, flexible moral philosophy...if your personal situation found you upset with your partner for cheating, and the trial for which you sit is a criminal act in regards to an affair, does your morality swing to fit the personal feelings of the moment, the trial situation, or do you struggle with the dichotomies of your vacillating basis for choice?

@Elena9525 - This is the rhetoric of those who believe the Bible was written by one individual. This is the pablum spewed into the open, waiting minds of those who disdain authority, clamor for chaos, froth against the fact they cannot understand socio-incorporeal matters and throw the entire system in the garbage because it requires civility and cooperation. I was an Atheist for 22 years...I discovered the lure of the world is false and empty. Atheism is a dead-end.

@Elena9525 - Alright. In your Utopia, murder is not taught to be a "bad" thing for society. It is merely an "expression" of anger, frustration, poor choice, impetuousness, or merely a thrill. No one thinks twice about it. If it happens, it happens...oh, well.

@ETHIOLOGIST1 Regarding gang-rape and gang-related violence... Well, that has existed throughout humanity's brief tenure on this planet. We've always been violent. It's in our very nature to be violent. However, nations such as Sweden (roughly 85% atheist and rising) have considerably lower crime and violence rates as opposed to most religious nations. We're making slow progress in combatting such violence with enlightenment and education, tolerance, and free exchange.

@ETHIOLOGIST1 Foundations, such as the Foundation Beyond Belief, are very charitable and generous. Atheists can be as humble (quite ironic, given how arrogant the concept of ready-made creationism is), as happy, and as loving as any religious affiliate. An in-context moral philosophy gave different ethnicities more civil liberties. An in-context moral philosophy freed slaves and destroyed abject slavery. The examples legion. Religion played little to no part in many of them.

[Elena9525]

@ETHIOLOGIST1 Friend, what religion may have done (and I believe your statement regarding Judeo-Christianity's responsibility for societal freedoms is unsubstantiated hogwash, considering the actual nature of the context of the Bible's creation, which runs in contrast) is irrelevant, regardless. What matters is what's happening here and now, and what serves the best interests of humanity. What good is religion doing as opposed to what many atheists are doing out of brotherly love?

[Elena9525]

@ETHIOLOGIST1 What? You're supposing that, without religion, mankind would never have been able to cultivate any other method by which equality could be introduced? I'm not religious, and I firmly believe in civil liberties because of an in-context, flexible moral philosophy. Religion, in spite of any potential benefits it has given humanity, is largely harmful. It serves to impede knowledge, foster fear and dependance, and cause much hatred or intolerance to many ideals.

@Elena9525 - It is apparent you have some history of studying the Bible. What you need to re-read is WHY the flood was sent in the first place. "The world was filled with violence"...not unlike current times, when parents kill their babies out of convenience, when gangs rob innocent elderly people, girls are gang-raped and people attacked "for a word". Uzrah screwed up by touching the Ark...the select priests were protected from the electrical surge by what they were instructed to wear.

[ETHIOLOGIST1]

@Elena9525 - If it weren't for the laws established in the United States based on a Judeo-Christian precept, you would never have a chance to air your views, nor vote to have a voice in legislative matters through your chosen representatives. Your very criticisms would be squashed and "your views" would be considered insurrectionary. Judaism introduced the concept of equality in treatment of women, Christianity offered free trade and private ownership. You are barking at the wrong squirrel.
