What is an atheist to me?

Question

i don't care what you call yourself. if you give everybody love and respect and treat them mindfully with compassion, then hello. if not, then see ya later and don't waste my time. btw, God is NOT in our government or public schools. the popularization of that notion is the most diabolically disingenuous Bait-'N-Switches ever pulled off in history. What is a fellow human to you?

Answer 1

"God is NOT in our government"

I'm sorry but I disagree with that.

Answer 2

***God is NOT in our government or public schools***

You are 100% correct.   He is nowhere to be seen or found.    Many theists, however, are desparately attempting to legislate "God" into existence.    That's when the problems start.

Answer 3

This is a complicated one.  Hypocrisy makes people do those things, as does fear and the need to feel superior somehow.  Unfortunately, we live in a society of people who care, love and treat animals better than it does other people

Answer 4

Take a look at the money in your pocket and try to tell that lie again.

Answer 5

"God is NOT in our government"

So George Bush didn't say that 'God' told him who to go to war with?

So the Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution does NOT (Article I, Section 4) allows people to be excluded from holding office on religious grounds.?

It does NOT say? An official may be "excluded from holding office" if she/he does not "acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."??

Or are you pulling a Bait-n-switch'?  ;-)

Maybe you'll deny these also:

Arkansas Constitution, Article 19 Section 1 of the 1874 constitution:

"No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any court."

**********************************

North Carolina's Constitution, Article 6 Sec. 8:

"Disqualifications of office. The following persons shall be disqualified for office: First, any person who shall deny the being of Almighty God...."

**********************************

South Carolina's Constitution, Article 4 Section 2:

"Person denying existence of Supreme Being not to hold office. No person who denies the existence of the Supreme Being shall hold any office under this Constitution."

**********************************

A fellow human to me is a fellow human.  All other bets are off.

If that human was Hitler I would kill him.

If that human was Gandhi I would hug him.

Answer 6

Apparently an omnipotent, omnipresent and infinite being can be kept out of specific locations by nine old men voting that he cannot be forced on people against their will.

Who knew?

Answer 7

I agree, God is not in our government or public schools.. But religion most definitely is.

Answer 8

WHAT?????????????

I seriously have no idea what your talking about

Answer 9

"What is a fellow Human to you?"

Just one thing:

Prey.

Answer 10

i r not hooman but i tink dat u need 2 cawm dwn...

Answer 11

Don't feel bad, bait-and-switches, fuzzy logic, etc. are also to be found in what some people, who call themselves Buddhist leaders, are up to these days.  You have to be really careful who you take up logic... some are so far out there, you couldn't hit 'em with a space shuttle.

Answer 12
