Humanity is growing out of its infancy. Atheism is slowly becoming part of the status quo. Sadly there are those who see it and claim that it is a sign of the anti-christ.

@cablepanos Awesome observation!
“I am so sick of hearing “America is a Christian nation.”
Commandment # 1; Worship only Yahweh.
Ammendment #1: Worship whomever you please (or even nobody).
The US Constitution is in direct conflict with Judeo-Christian doctrine.”

if one like bs & nonsense & crime a lot the bible is definitely the book for ’em. Otherwise, I hope one gets common sense & logic in thier life. To be fair & balanced, it makes a lot of sense why Glen Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity & friends “trust in the Lord”. Let alone, preach about gold 24/7/365.

@Akira625 Also, if Christians truly followed the Bible to the ‘T’, they would all end up in prison or an insane asylum. Even the most ardent fundamentalists (Westboro Baptist, for example) know better than that. If it wasn’t for our (mostly) secular government, this country wouldn’t look any different than Iran (only Christian instead of Muslim). LOL Suspected witches “She turned me into a newt!……well, I got better.” Idolaters, LOL Have you seen “Touchdown Jesus”? Fucking hypocrites!

@cablepanos Now, if America were truly a Christian nation, closely following the Bible, our legal system would certainly be impacted. Death row would be jam-packed with homosexuals, adulterers (sorry Bristol Pailn!), Sabbath-breakers, unbelievers, rebellious children, worshipers of other religions, suspected witches, idolaters.

@CopyriteInfringement “Do people seriously still believe in god? LOL, Only in America.” Really? Come on. You live 2 hours away from a Christian creationist museum, Genesis Expo, in Portsmouth.

Our atheist group here in Jaysusville, TX is talking about putting up billboards–several years ago somebody smashed up a “graven image” on a new highway overpass, so I can’t wait to see what happens.

@EastofForever Well, make up your mind. Are we evil because we think for ourselves, or are you gonna accuse us of being like you?

When he was still a preacher, Dan Barker lived in my small town. I don’t know anybody who calls himself / herself an atheist, only those who waffle on the issue.

@monkeytube138 The “nihilists” hold that there is no proof of any reality at all.

@samdon815 There is strong proof of divinity in the spiritual reality? There is no proof of any spiritual reality. So you’re back at square one.
