You sound like a moron. I don't say that lightly, here's why:

The majority of Americans identify themselves as Christians (76%), while non-Christian religions (including Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and others) collectively make up about 4% of the adult population.[3] Another 15% of the adult population identified as having no religious affiliation.[4] According to the American Religious Identification Survey, religious belief varies considerably across the country: 59% of Americans living in Western states (the "Unchurched Belt") report a belief in God, yet in the South (the "Bible Belt") the figure is as high as 86%

And representing that overwhelming Christian majority link

That's right, 45 Jews, 5 unidentified, and all 484 other people representing us in Government believe in your imaginary friend.

If anything I'd say non-Christians should start standing up for themselves. I mean what happened to fair representation? There are currently 0 self-proclaimed atheists, I feel under-represented.

Actually, I don't really care what imaginary friend you want to talk to at church as long as you don't shove it down my throat... like by putting religious paraphernalia up in places funded by tax dollars.

Why can't you just keep your silly religion to yourself? Why this need to make everyone else drink the Kool-Aid?

It's very telling, this need Christians have to make themselves the victims when they obviously are not. Does creating these false dilemmas somehow validate your deep psychosis? I'm genuinely curious.

I don't care what religion my leaders are, because I just want the best leaders and I believe in separation of Church and state. So go ahead and get rid of any religious things from government buildings. I don't care about that.

But I am fed up with atheists bashing Christianity because they don't believe it. I make it a point to not bash atheists (or any other religion, etc) because I know what it's like. So I will stand up against people who claim that I believe in an "imaginary friend you want to talk to at church" and who call my beliefs a "silly religion."

In my point of seeing, I am not a Christian, but I am not agents them. I think that all should be the same, and nobody agents another just because of religion. But it does get pretty anoying when the type of Christians that try to preach about the religion to people that are not.

I was lost in the Darkest parts of my own wicked ways, spiraling down a path of destruction leading me away from His Almighty ways, and all the while im going down ONLY ONE, He could save me. No matter how far i looked on this lowly planet, i never once found a soul who could manage, to show me the love that i truly needed, because on this planet aint nothing but hate and contempt have been breeded. the lowly snake slithering as he goes through the towns of man looking for lowly lowly souls, to feed on so that it could plant it's evil seeds, and so that throughout the generations nothing but evil and hate we could recieve, but those where the ways of the past, my brothers and sisters. the devil had a hold of us and he managed through our parents, down through the generations His ways have been lost, and because of the us, the devil has turned and tossed, We can All be saved, all we need is Thanksgiving, to the One who Above, for All of His Givings. The devils trying to stop me right now as i speak, but Faithful to the Lord and willit He, that i may be meek. Because it is He not i that gives you this message but it is The One that we All should seek. i know that it is hard to find Rest, as we all go through this test some call a game, every single last one of us, probably, training to gain and retain our fame. But That is not what this life is about, i have a Strong feeling that we are All getting our Water from the wrong wrong spout. because thats all the devil has for us is a little bit, of pleasure, then comes the pain. steady feeding our bodies what i see now Is Insane. because ya'll hafto see that we are all carnally minded, and This is the reason The LORD, us he has blinded, binding, ourselves to our own flesh, so that eventually we would All fail this Test. but know that The Lord, He loves us, and wishes nothing but the best, and all He wants is for us to Love Him all the while through this Test. some wonder why we see nadoes and quakes, He needs ya'll to know that its Ya'lls souls that He is trying to shake. and bake if you will, so the devil may not have his fill, to letchya'll know that there is NONE like that ALMIGHTY AND ALL POWERFULL ONE. i say full because Hes filled with Love, like None that we have seen on this lowly earth, but now that i have SEEN, my Eyes have been UnBlinded, and now it is He, He who signs this, letter so maybe that some of Ya'll could listen, and Maybe get the Message that He is trying to dish, out of His spout, so that ya'll might be fed, with all of His Love, His Water, And His Bread. Don't for a second think any of Ya'll are living, All of ya'll are dead and for the devil are you "living" as i sit here and do this all of the "dome" just know that it is Not me and that this is His tomb. He is singing through me in these words and this song, so that maybe one day we All can be free all the day long, and ya'll can say its cheesy if ya'll want, but just know the devil in you he does flaunt x) i had to stop and show ya'll how i felt about that one, cuz its the truth, and right now i have a Strong feeling He is swinging harder than that brother Babe Ruth, or ballin harder than micheal jordan, and in this song he Is Playing His Accordian. Ya'll just need to know that He is our Guardian, and right now im flying Higher than any single air jordan, because my love i gave to Him more than any of Ya'll so i guess i can say more than them. But dont getit twizted like boi's if ya'll know, that me and moreover Him, have a lot to show. we are all brothers and sisters, but i should call us the missers, because we all fail to see the smaller things in this world, without even thinking twice, what truly brings a man alot of happiness or to see the pain that ALOT of us have in us. i know that we are all hurting on the inside, and for ya'll who say we dont, Boi, you know that is a lie, because only with Him and not that evil leech from down south, can we truly fly. higher than the highest of trees or the tallest of mountains, But in Him we Have to trust, so that We may Drink From The One and Only True fountain, only because of Him can i do this for days, and its Because i gave Him my love, thanksgiving, and praise. so now that i have seen what it is truly to be Man, Men of God, all these hater out there who bout to say something aint nuthing more than sod. sorry if it dont make sense, just know that me and Him the latter first, We are just trying to give His children, ya'll some mother lovin cents. forgive me if i pause for no longer am i a vulgar man life is just a beach, and Now, He is playing in the sand, hopefully in the minds of the young, the daughters and sons, i have my holster, and now the Lord is my Gun, Shining Brighter, than a million suns, times two, because His love is True, actually make that twenty twenty, because He is aplenty, in me in you and All, i just hope that ya'll can hear His call, so that maybe that ya'll may not fall, into the Pit, but right now i can say the devil is probably having a fit, of anxiety cuz he is losing his "children" just know that we are God's and with me He has been pilfering, in my mind day and night, as i have been in my room trying to stay out of sight, of ya'll because all it seems like to me, that nothing to ya'll it would please, more, than to see one of your own fellow brother get shot and fall. when i look around me i dont see any real love, this evil surrounds me, but Now i DO NOT CARE, because the Lord, THE LORD, HE has found me. so now ya'll cannot touch, because with His love, im about to bust. with loving Faith and Trust, i put in Him, so that i can be led away from this life of sin, and Now that i have His Trust, my brotha's and sista's, not just the black ones, comeon now, that just is not a must, there is no such thing man, all that is, is nothing more than an evil thought, brought up in vain, so that maybe a man's soul, that leech, can be bought. Quit being evil, for it is Love, that should be sought, out so once again we may be fed from His Spout, for only He can give us what we need so that in the end we may succeed. my brothers and sisters all we need to do is Believe, and then, Anything, together, WE CAN ACHIEVE. this is an ode to ya'll so in hopes once again that ya'll may hear The Call, and will not fall, so one day me, ya'll, and The Almighty,Perfect, like a prefect without the er, Omnipotent, and Patient ONE, that together we May All Ball. and they keep telling me to stop, but i just cant my brothers me and Him are headed to the top, and right now i got The Heart Of A Lion, King, and pray tell me my brothers and sisters who are reading, what single Beast can stop that king?

That's the slippery slope fallacy, used to justify poorly constructed arguments. There is absolutely no credible connection between removing religion from government, and banning religion, absolutely none. And the constitution specifically protects freedom of religion.

For the government to be fair, it needs to be completely and totally NEUTRAL regarding religion, and it can't be neutral if people keep putting religious symbols on government property.

Your lack of understanding is dizzying.

A veto is a power of a President. Healthcare was not vetoed.

It passed legally, using the laws of the land. And there is nothing in the Constitution or any other document that says people shouldn't be allowed to have Healthcare but there is stuff in the Constitution about separating religion from government.

So your comment really makes no sense at all.

Christians are and have been a majority since this country's birth, therefore it should come as little surprise that the majority has turned a blind eye to bills that have been passed which are unconstitutional but support their interests none-the-less.

It's just the recently in American history atheists, nonbelievers and other religious groups are finally able to have a public voice without fearing ostracisation by their fellow Christian countrymen, and are consequently able to fight for a return to our secular roots (I.E. no religion in government affairs).

I'm sorry, what? Is this another "oh poor persecuted Christians in the US" argument? Wow, it's been a while since I saw someone try that.

Oh yes, by all means, what the nation really needs is for Christians to stand up for themselves! I mean come on people! Just imagine the possibilities!!! If you start asserting yourselves and stop letting people walk all over you maybe you can ever get them to put "in God we trust" on the money, and "one nation under God" in the Pledge of allegiance, and have public officials swear on bibles, and get tax exemptions for your churches... and dare we dream? If miracles really do happen, we may live to see the day when we have a Christian president.

The more extreme Christians (like the one who started this debate) thinks that they are entitled to something. Don't they get it? Separation of church and state. What's there not to understand here. They think that everyone in the US should live by there moral standards. Newsflash idiots, you are not everyone, and not everyone is Christian.

Ever read a history book son? If standing up for yourself included colonizing in the form of crusades, witch-burnings and inquisitions. Then they may have crossed the line, just a tad.

If you are talking about modern day weedy, sandle-wearing, pushover stereotype Christians; then yes, probably.

We Christians are trying to save you non-believers from going to Hell. If you do not repent then you are going there.

Look here my friend, I alread gave you an erudite explanation as to why every word of that sentence is pure processed crap.

I am a Christian. However the difference between me and you is that I do not force my point of view upon others.

Faith is not conceptual or literary but its a mindset which cannot be spread by word of mouth. If you want people to become Christian you cannot scare them into doing so by fear of "going to hell", as that is contrary to the ideaology of faith.

Please read the other dispute I wrote because I dont think you understand.

Maybe if Christians would stay out of other people's lives and not spread the gospel of God, then Christians would have nothing to worry about.

Look here my friend. One instance where a Christian, just like you, tried to influence someones choice of faith was during the Spanish Inquisitions. Over 5,000 people were tortured to death over a short space of time. This was carried out over a number of centuries and for many other Catholic/Protestant Countries.

I am a Christian. However the difference between me and you is that I do not force my point of view upon others.

Even in the old testement the Lord himself warned of spreading ones faith, as it leads to consequences such as that stated in the above.

Faith is not conceptual or literary but its a mindset which cannot be spread by word of mouth. If you want people to become Christian you cannot scare them into doing so by fear of "going to hell", as that is contrary to the ideaology of faith.

Why is it then that you also think that your politically correct mainstream Christianity is the only way to eternal life? Pope Benedict 11th said himself that there are many different ways to eternal life as different religions are different paths to the same God, usually.

This is true to Islam, judaism and Christianity. All three spawning from the same man.

So think twice before you accuse others was not being as 'righteous' as you. You cause people to think that our establishment is full of hypocrits ang bigots.

You personally are going to save us or the word of gospel. If the word of gospel, then people should have the free will to pursue that word of god instead of people trying to push it.
