Atheism requires as much faith as religion?

Yet when that Satanist soldier wanted a satanist head stone his family had a huge fight over that. Fair? It was his wishes and he died for our country so shouldn't the Christholes have shut up and let him have it?

What Satanist soldier?

That only tells you he has a shallow family and selfish, nothing else.

It's not being sponsored by the school or city. It's being sponsored by individuals with freedom of religion.
Just because some atheist complains about it doesn't mean anything.
I really thought the opening prayer in City Hall town meetings was great.

LMAO, you really think they stopped? They were only "recommended" to stop, not forced to. I guarantee you they're still praying.

That damn Freedom From Religion Foundation group... They tried to get a cross removed in Riverside, a city icon that's been there since like 1907. They failed.

That's incorrect. In fact, there was a recent instance in the news of an atheist student who complained about prayer-led football games at her high-school, and they had to stop. Naturally Christ-like death-threats ensued (to be fair, only from a few nitwits). If someone complained about the led-prayers at city hall, they'd stop.

You do have freedom of religion, you don't have the freedom to foist your religion on others via the government, which is what happens when city hall starts with a public prayer. Personally I myself would probably not complain as it would be too much time/trouble, which is evidently how all the other non-Christians feel at your city hall.

They and hundreds of others have stopped. I could post link after link but under you lack the IQ and reading comprehension.

Oh look! Another soldier killed in action for our country denied his religious symbols of choice because of you Christholes.

I really don't understand what some people (atheists) have against a peaceful prayer. Why do they try to stop it?

It's not like if they hear an actual prayer they're gonna magically turn Christian.

Usually those kind of public prayers, outside of church, simply ask for guidance & wisdom.

What's the big deal?

You stupid shit, did you even read that link??

First, this was NOT about what's on his "grave stone". The actual fuss was about a memorial wall the VA is putting up.

quote:
But those wishing to honor Stewart, who should have his name on the memorial wall at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley, 34 miles east of Reno, would have a difficult time doing so.

Second, the soldier didn't request anything. It's his wife who is making all the fuss.

Third, this so-called religion is Wicca. Which symbol? Does she get to decide which symbol all Wiccans must use. Currently there is no symbol recognized universally for Wicca.

EVERY religion or non religion must have an approved symbol. There is even one for atheism. This is NOT the VA that is disallowing anything. They are just following their laws.

Well said and nothing drives Christholes into a murderous rage like saying not everyone wants their religion forced down their throat.

Too bad that link after link I'd prove your stupid ass wrong.

I know you wanna stop the evil act of prayer, but you can't. The Constitution says you can't.

And your second sentence, well, makes no sense.

Of course it does.

The very nature and essence of natural selection is to select only the best, the strongest, and those that benefit the whole species.

Ergo, no petty desires that do not benefit the whole species allowed.

Anthropology 101, the human species builds its traditions and morals on evolutionary principles, which is why they are universe in every advanced civilization where the same virtues and morals can be found.

My, you atheists are disappointing when it comes to the intellect.

Wrong.

The case for Jesus has been challenged, and successfully defended for 2000 years. It was attacked when Christianity was still fresh, and all failed to discredit it.

There is plenty of secular evidence. No Christian, EVER, had to defend his faith, or explain this to you. Only you have the burden of proving all the evidence false in history. Good luck!

[Givemeliberty]

Wow a soldier dies in service to our country and you think it's okay for him to be denied on his headstone.

Sorry but if a solider gives their life in service to our country I say he/she can have any symbol they or their loved ones wish on the headstone. The headstone is a memorial and comfort to the family first and next friends and associates. The soldier and family should have the freedom to say what that should be. Not angry bigoted jackasses like you.

Your bigotry and intolerance is stunning and a prime example why I call your ilk Christholes.

So hitler killing all those Jews who he dubbed Christ killers was a good thing in your eyes. Just like a family member dying of cancer sparked the cancer treatment center?
This just goes why Christianity is the worst possible form of morality imaginable.
<quoted text>

Evidently, I have to repost again, because you didn't read it the first time, or you are mentally challenged.

Typical ignorance.
Christianity 101. All that is evil can only exist by an act of free will. This does not negate the power God may exercise to make something good emerge from a tragedy.
Just as family members who might lose a loved one to cancer, to make something good turn out of it by starting a new cancer-aware program.
A logical atheists would know this, and would not make this error. A rational atheists takes the time to learn the theology, before making such foolish remarks.

False.

All science suggests design, not accident, in the universe. The evidence is abundant, which is why humanity has always sought who this designer was.

Or, are you making the bold claim that humanity is universally stupid and superstitious?:)

I am happy with my grasp of reality and so are billions of other people happy with theirs. Your Davesworld dreams don’t actually count as reality in the real world.
Numbers are inventions of man and they are used to help explain what once was unexplainable, without just 2 of those numbers (0 and 1) you would not have been able to post your comment, just imagine how powerful an almost infinite number of numbers can be.
However to make the guess that goddidt with no evidence as backup is a little delusional even by the high standards you place on delusion.
Thanks for the smooch but I prefer to know where the people I kiss have been

Numbers were invented to be able to tell how many kids you have. heheheh

You have *got* to be kidding. Many things are not intended for children: driving, drinking alcohol, drinking coffee, entering into contracts, etc. I don't have sex with my wife in front of children, but that doesn't mean I am ashamed of doing so.
Your 'universal moral standard' is laughable.

Not kidding at all, nor do you seem to be paying attention.

Everything you listed are things we teach children, and prepare them for. There is no shame in any of that.

But you claim you would not be slightly embarrassed letting your kids watch you have sex with your wife?

How about getting so drunk you vomit on yourself?

How about getting stoned?

How about letting them see an orgy with your wife? Or, seeing you have sex with someone else other than your wife, perhaps even another male?

Sorry, children are indeed a universal measuring stick for what society deems acceptable. You know I am right, but your ideology and beliefs are getting in the way, aren't they?:)
