The Atheist Communist Caliphate Made Flesh, Spread the Clusterfuck Around Thread

It's not survival of the strongest, it's survival of the fittest.

Survival of the fit.  It's a tautology.

I reserve any comment on this matter until MikeC translates it for me into RightTalk.

Typical liberal blather, Gil. If you could knock Obama's wang out of your ass long enough to sit down and listen, you'd know that the dems are trying to socialize science so it makes sense to everyone. If everyone is fit, then everyone is a winner. And if everyone is a winner then no one wins and life would be a numb grey librul hell.

That's what I'm talking about.  I think butthead had probably the best post on this matter, so I'll defer to him.

I am a First Amendment absolutist, so my extreme interpretation of the Establishment Clause guides my thinking on this matter, and is also probably the reason why I'd never be appointed to the Supreme Court.

Their brains were big enough to discover farming.

This is a keeper, though.

I would honestly trade every other law on the books before I would surrender the First Amendment.

I tell you, if this country e'er mentions anything to do with religion again, I will be horribly offended. Hell, they should change the money, too. "In God We Trust." What if I don't trust in God?!?! Have they ever though about MY rights? About my feelings? Shit. Can a guy go anywhere in this country and not have Christianity shoved down his throat?

I actually agree with this.

Put that in your hat and SMOKE IT.

I know you're joking, but seriously...what if you don't trust in god?

I did some substitute teaching last year. When the kids did the pledge I joined them, but stayed silent on the "under god" part. Why should I have to pledge allegiance to a god I don't believe in to pledge allegiance to my country?

Because, if we didn't have "under God" in the Pledge or "In God we Trust" on our currency, there would be nothing to distinguish us from those godless Commie bastards.

I’m going to put the Right wing facist hat back on. I know the origin of the “under God” in the Pledge: Communism fighting and all. I do agree that it really has no real purpose there. If they took it out, I wouldn’t object, but at the same time I don’t really see the problem with it. In your case, I think you did exactly what I would expect anyone who didn’t agree to do: not say it. Plus, for the atheists/Muslims/etc. out there, it is just 2 words. If you get all fussy over saying/hearing two words, then please lighten up a little.

Now there is an issue with that. If you stay silent and the government expands the religious references it could create some real problems. As I think about this with the current political climate, it very well might be irresponsible to allow the politicians in place to be able to have a loosey goosey outlook on religious references within the government. I could foresee that being abused because I really only trust about 2 people in Washington right now.

To me, ideally if (this references a case in a local town I’ve mentioned in the SBox in the past) a group puts up a “The World Needs God” sign back in the 20’s on the county courthouse, then it really doesn’t pose an issue now. Now, it really didn’t need to be put there in the first place, but what does it hurt? If you drive by the courthouse and don’t like the sign, don’t look at it. Sure, it’d be easy to take it down (It ultimately was after a lawsuit from the ACLU) but, seriously, is a sign really killing anyone? Is it making anyone be a Christian? Did Congress pass a law to put it there? And that was just an example of one situation, but I believe it gets the point across.

When I was in high school, in the locker room, our coach would gather us for a prayer. He had a student lead but the coach definitely instigated it. Now, if I were to object to it, I would just kneel with everyone else, and hope to myself that I played a good game as opposed to praying to God that he helped us. I, myself, prayed with just to pray. I mean, what could it hurt?

Hmmm....is it Adam Dunn and Barney Frank?
