They are REALLLY Hammering Christianity now...another.

[Uncle Emanuel Watkins]

Rather than altering this nation secularly why not reestablish what is self-evident.

Uggh... another atheist bashing post. Why do "Christians" think they have the right to shove their beliefs down everyone's throats?

But you fellows haven't even begun to understand the meaning of "secular." How did Constintine destroy the original Christian cult called "The Way?" He set about creating a new religion with rituals. These rituals used to brain wash the prior Christians were developed and implemented by St. Augustine who didn't use the Holy Bible to establish the new Catholic Church but instead used Plato's philosophy to underlie its foundation.
So, from Constantine to Martin Luther, some 1100 years, the true history of Christ was mostly locked away. The reawakening of Christ has only been happening from Martin Luther to this present day.
If one desires to change this nation secularly in regards to it being culturally Christian, then it will take another religion and hundreds if not thousands of years to do so.
Have fun.

placing your hand on the Bible as you take the oath is optional. it is not required by law, never has been required by law, and should never be required by law.

How can you have separation of church and state when all your state officials are swearing to defend the people/government contract on the law of their church?

Oath

a. A solemn, formal declaration or promise to fulfill a pledge, often calling on God, a god, or a sacred object as witness.
b. The words or formula of such a declaration or promise.
c. Something declared or promised.

How much is the "Oath" worth if the person is false or hipocritical from the start?

I wouldn't call it Christianity as much as private sects of Christians failing. Also, the joy and wonderment of some of you pushing down your irreligious views (which are religious in nature, but you aren't intelligent enough to realize it) is laughable and hypocrisy.

I mean this is a result of an over-sexualized culture, hell-bent on destruction and personal egotism, and we got this way be secularists shoving their crap of secularism down students throats and brainwashing them.

Obviously, you guys can't make that connection. Christianity doesn't have a part in public schooling and Christianity has no inroads to teach any moral or beliefs in the schools and we wonder who is shoving crap down the other's throats?

It's the moronic secularists who don't understand their beliefs are religious and intolerant and shove down their beliefs with the force of law.

But go ahead and pretend you're libertarians for free-speech and allowing the parents to teach the children as they see fit. It seems your hypocrisy knows no limits.

When this is over you will reap what you sow. Without a belief in God you will have what the Marxists knew was needed to accomplish their goals. If you don't believe me look at history, which you probably don't believe because it doesn't suit your agenda, and for a further diagnosis tell me if less Christianity is good in today's climate where we are losing our freedoms.

There is a connection, but the ignorant are ignorant of their ignorance.

I'm neither an atheist nor a Christian. I just like Jesus and I don't presume to scan God.

when thefreedictionary.com starts writing U.S. law you can then reference them as such.

edit* and you forgot to include these definitions too.

2. An irreverent or blasphemous use of the name of God or something held sacred.
3. An imprecation; a curse.

I'm an Atheist myself. I'm just not arrogant enough to believe everyone has to follow my religion. Yes, Atheism is a religion, and just like any religion it has its zealots who would like to stamp out any and all traces of differing beliefs. There's no difference between an anti-Christian atheist and a Baptist preacher. Both are convinced that that their way is the one and only true way, and are dogmatically intolerant of all who disagree.

Different meanings not related to an "Oath of office".
I did not include them due to irrelevance.

What you do and what you really do secularly are two different things. The latter will get you beheaded in many parts of the middle east irregardless.

Whether one claims atheism is a religion or not, it is still a religion. Why? Because it is attempting to establish rituals to counter an existing culture established by Christianity.

*sigh* Faith is faith, and until atheists prove God doesn't exist they're running on faith. It may be faith in their reasoning power and their ability to read the evidence, but that is still faith. But I will agree faith isn't a religion if you'll agree that people should be forgiven for failing to make that distinction every time they open their mouths...

I don't think you really know me that well enough, to be able to pass judgments on what I really do. And that would be another good reason that I just choose to stay out of middle east.

Ugh--another misuse of the word 'everyone'. Oh, wait--you didn't misuse 'everyone', but a lot of people do.

I personally think the tolerant Christians outnumber the intolerant ones, but many people won't believe it because the latter make so very much more noise. One wonders the tolerant ones don't get upset with the intolerant ones damaging the brand and tar and feather them. Instead the suckers just keep forgiving them...

Good source to prove your point. lol Maybe I should go to billygrahm.com to prove mine. When all Athiests stop trying to force their beliefs on others, then you can say they are just indifferent. Until then, they are as religious in their beliefs as the most orthodox of Christians.

We do get upset by it, but we try to be tolerant.

I think Coach Dave Daubenmire explains the coming destruction of Christianity in the West in a better way than the article in the OP suggests.

I agree lol. I do tend to be more bothered by the intolerant Atheists than the intolerant Christians. The reason being that the Christians are insignificant. Christianity is dead, and those who wish to force their beliefs have very little influence left. Atheists, on the other hand, have a stranglehold on Christianity and won't let up. For me it's very much a case of speaking up for the underdog. Also because I used to be one of those intolerant Atheists.

If this board was a sample to use then your proof is lacking. Most atheists that post as atheists parade brainless lines of "pushing religion", "brainwashed" and blasphemous statements and pictures to make a point. So your statement is not backed with facts.

As a matter of fact the nasty language that is used is indicative of the hate they have for Christianity.

If you really believe that campaign harder for more civility, you won't get far with this mob, but you'll see for yourself the hatred for Christianity that comes with being here.

It's almost as if Ron Paul is actually against Christianity.


And for the other poster, atheism is a religion. A religion is any group that has certain beliefs on society and culture. Atheism technically would not be the religion, but secularism certainly is. If you could make a creed of what someone believes in socially and morally than you have a religion. People confuse religion with institutionalized religions.

I can point out how it's a religion, but secularists wouldn't believe it no matter if it's true or not. Agenda comes before truth to most atheists I've dealt with. Just ask the ACLU.
