Show me where it says "freedom from religion"??

You have no understanding of the Constitution or the "separation"
clause, so why should anyone bother to "show" you a thing.

If we use your interpretation of the Constitution and the laws we may
end up with a tax lien on our property or we may even be sued by the
government for non-payment of taxes.


You should put the deed in you wife's name if you are going to screw the
government out of taxes you owe!


It is.

Judging from that article I'd have to say that the author, and
probably you, share some confusion about the difference between
values, religious beliefs and political beliefs. Sometimes reasonable
people with high values have to agree to disagree. More importantly,
it is inappropriate to try and impose your religious beliefs on others
and then accuse them of lacking "values".

Other than, possibly, the first one, there is nothing religious there. I
don't consider the first
one a religious position. 'Marriage' was an institution that had some
meaning. Now liberals,
especially, have made it a sham. And, I agree that 'it is 'it is
inappropriate to try and impose
your religious beliefs on others', and that includes atheists imposing
theirs. If you can't read
that and determine what 'values' are being discussed, then I can
understand your comments.

Religious beliefs are fine. Just do not force them on others, but
likewise, others should not infringe your religious freedoms. And marriage
has been different things through the years. Lots of the profits in the
bible had multiple wives. In the 1800's you could marry multiple spouses
in Texas, Alabama and another regions also. And not even have to be
Mormon. Texas about we're married if you announced it in front of 20
witness's or signed in to a hotel as Mr. And Mrs. No church or state
involved. It is supposed to be a free country. You want to marry same
sex? Go for it. Just do not require the rest of unto pay for your
lifestyle. Same goes for most drugs, do them, die if that happens, but do
not expect society to pay for your medical bills.

You've referred several times to differences in the number of wives. Not a lot of instances in the

'wedding' soon. I won't attend because I think the 'ceremony' is a sham.


Obviously you will be a hate-filled asshole until the day you die, and

Yes. He also would want me to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. He didn't like deadbeats,

Those public facilities belong to the religious as well as to the
Atheists.

And that doesn't entitle either to state sponsorship. Do it on your own.

It does if the tree is put up on public property, idiot.

No it doesn't, asshole...


Sure it does. A Christmas tree has evolved to become the symbol of
Christmas, the alleged time of the birth of Jesus, a religious figure.
The tree is not a symbol of wintertime or the coming of the new year. It
is a Christian religious symbol, just like Jesus, for who it is named.
When the tree is put up in front of a public school or in a public park,
et cetera, the implication is that the government supports/sponsors that
religion. Such support is not Constitutional. It isn't my problem that
you are too stupid to understand the principle.

Oh, and for consistency's sake, I am opposed to the "national" Christmas
tree in downtown DC, along with any other religious symbolism
supported/sponsored by government. I don't think the POTUS should be
engaged in supporting such religious celebrations if they are
sponsored/supported by the government.

These beliefs have nothing to do with agnosticism or atheism, by the way.

You should write a letter to the prez-e-dent stating said opposition.

You seem to be the hate filled asshole. Herring has his views, and as long
as he does not force them on others, that is OK. If you do not like the
idea of a gay partnership, then it is ok to pass on the ceremony. Same as
passing on most others ideas that are abhorrent to oneself.

Debatable. The constitution does not say there will not be religion.
Basically it states there will not be "state religion" ala Church of
England. God is even referenced in the Declaration of Independence.
Religious people also have a right to use public property. It is also
owned by them. This a government of, by, and for the people. Even
atheists can have a display on public property.


Ever hear of separation of church and state?


----------------------------
yup. Where does it state that in the Constitution?



In the first amendment and in interpretations by the supreme court,
neither of which you've probably read for comprehension.
--------------------------

Supreme courts interpretations seem to morf over the years. Constitution
and the framers said there would not be a state religion. And that the
government should just stay out of the religious business. Not that the
people could not use public (the peoples) facilities for religious purposes.
There would be no state ordained religion.

Debatable. The constitution does not say there will not be religion.
Basically it states there will not be "state religion" ala Church of
England. God is even referenced in the Declaration of Independence.
Religious people also have a right to use public property. It is also
owned by them. This a government of, by, and for the people. Even
atheists can have a display on public property.

Ever hear of separation of church and state?


----------------------------
yup. Where does it state that in the Constitution?



In the first amendment and in interpretations by the supreme court,
neither of which you've probably read for comprehension.


The supremes have made conflicting interpretations over the years. The
first states there will not be State Religion. Even congress has priests.


Do you really think it would be a good thing to have The Church run our
country without checks and balances? That's stupid.


------------------------

Where did I say that? The constitution states that the government will be
hands off religion. Not that there will be no religion.

Judging from that article I'd have to say that the author, and
probably you, share some confusion about the difference between
values, religious beliefs and political beliefs. Sometimes
reasonable
people with high values have to agree to disagree. More importantly,
it is inappropriate to try and impose your religious beliefs on
others
and then accuse them of lacking "values".

Other than, possibly, the first one, there is nothing religious there.
I
don't consider the first
one a religious position. 'Marriage' was an institution that had some
meaning. Now liberals,
especially, have made it a sham. And, I agree that 'it is 'it is
inappropriate to try and impose
your religious beliefs on others', and that includes atheists imposing
theirs. If you can't read
that and determine what 'values' are being discussed, then I can
understand your comments.

Religious beliefs are fine. Just do not force them on others, but
likewise, others should not infringe your religious freedoms. And
marriage
has been different things through the years. Lots of the profits in
the
bible had multiple wives. In the 1800's you could marry multiple
spouses
in Texas, Alabama and another regions also. And not even have to be
Mormon. Texas about we're married if you announced it in front of 20
witness's or signed in to a hotel as Mr. And Mrs. No church or state
involved. It is supposed to be a free country. You want to marry same
sex? Go for it. Just do not require the rest of unto pay for your
lifestyle. Same goes for most drugs, do them, die if that happens,
but do
not expect society to pay for your medical bills.


Atheists are bullying Christians all over the country. Putting up nasty
posters to mock and just kill Christian freedom of speech at Nativities
and such, even going as far as taking the word God from a 6 year olds
poem to her granny at a school function, and getting "A Charlie Brown
Christmas" banned... This is just intolerance and hate, nothing else...


------------------

It may be hate and intolerance, but they have the same rights to speech
as do those of a religious bent. Getting such banned, should not be,
but they have the right to speak against religion.


But not chase it down to shut it down and no other reason... They are
sick bullies, pure and simple. Not confident enough with their own
beliefs to stand strong without attacking others. Very weak people indeed.


Gee, do you think that if some atheists put up a display that told
people the atrocities of Christanity and that it's all a lie that
Christians would just let it go?? Ever hear of Westboro?

http://tinyurl.com/aey4u3v

http://tinyurl.com/8bbjbz7

Let's see, Christians hate homosexuals, lesbians, Buddists, Muslims, any
and all other religions, atheists, agnostics. They believe that all
humans are sinners and deserve to be tortured for all eternity and the
only solution to that IS Christianity. In other words, Christians tell
everyone that they are horrible and that you should be tortured
mercilessly because you are so horrible, but if you dedicate your like
to worshiping [insert you favorite fictional character], you can be
forgiven for being such a horrible person.

Chic-fil-a fired a person because that person didn't want to participate

Atheists are bullying Christians all over the country. Putting up nasty

and such, even going as far as taking the word God from a 6 year olds
poem to her granny at a school function, and getting "A Charlie Brown
Christmas" banned... This is just intolerance and hate, nothing else...



That's yet another crock of crap. Atheists are not bullying anyone. You
want a Nativity scene? Fine. Put it up on your front lawn or on your
church's lawn, but not on the lawn of a public school or in a public
park. There is no place for religious functions or displays in the
public schools.

Note, however, there is little objection to public college courses
teaching "comparative religions," so long as the teaching isn't favoring
one religion over another.

It is intolerant to force your religious views onto the public schools
or onto public facilities.

----------------------------

Those public facilities belong to the religious as well as to the
Atheists.


Actually, they belong to the people, and the Establishment Clause in the
Constitution and Supreme Court rulings since say you cannot use the
public schools or facilities to push religious beliefs.


--------------------

The
Establishment Clause in the Constitution says there will not be a state
religion. Nothing about not using public facilities.

If the government only allowed one religion or only atheists to use the

here the are small churches that rent rooms at the local schools for church
services. The people / Government get revenue, and no state sponsorship of

dang Ipad and the spelling corrections.


You've referred several times to differences in the number of wives.
Not a lot of instances in the
bible of male prophets marrying other males, goats, or whatever. Ditto
with Texas, Alabama, and
other regions. I have a gay niece living with her girlfriend. They
will probably invite me to a
'wedding' soon. I won't attend because I think the 'ceremony' is a sham.


Obviously you will be a hate-filled asshole until the day you die, and
probably thereafter. Is skipping that wedding something Jesus would want
you to do?


-----------------------------------

You seem to be the hate filled asshole. Herring has his views, and as
long as he does not force them on others, that is OK. If you do not
like the idea of a gay partnership, then it is ok to pass on the
ceremony. Same as passing on most others ideas that are abhorrent to
oneself.



I don't care who people marry or what color people are or their country
of origin.

Sure it does. A Christmas tree has evolved to become the symbol of
Christmas, the alleged time of the birth of Jesus, a religious figure.
The tree is not a symbol of wintertime or the coming of the new year. It
is a Christian religious symbol, just like Jesus, for who it is named.
When the tree is put up in front of a public school or in a public park,
et cetera, the implication is that the government supports/sponsors that
religion. Such support is not Constitutional. It isn't my problem that
you are too stupid to understand the principle.


Nope, you are too stupid to understand Christian, is not a Religion...
Freedom of speech is for everybody, not just the folks you are afraid of...

Oh, and for consistency's sake, I am opposed to the "national" Christmas
tree in downtown DC, along with any other religious symbolism
supported/sponsored by government. I don't think the POTUS should be
engaged in supporting such religious celebrations if they are
sponsored/supported by the government.

These beliefs have nothing to do with agnosticism or atheism, by the way.

You should write a letter to the prez-e-dent stating said opposition.

That's yet another crock of crap. Atheists are not bullying anyone. You
want a Nativity scene? Fine. Put it up on your front lawn or on your
church's lawn, but not on the lawn of a public school or in a public
park. There is no place for religious functions or displays in the
public schools.

Note, however, there is little objection to public college courses
teaching "comparative religions," so long as the teaching isn't
favoring
one religion over another.

It is intolerant to force your religious views onto the public schools
or onto public facilities.

----------------------------

Those public facilities belong to the religious as well as to the
Atheists.

And that doesn't entitle either to state sponsorship. Do it on your
own.


So what does putting up a Christmas Tree, or Playing A Charlie Brown
Christmas have to do with State Sponsorship? Nothing, nothing at all...



It does if the tree is put up on public property, idiot.


----------------------
Only if put up by the government and paid for by the government. And
only one religious viewpoint allowed.


They couldn't show where the Constitution said "freedom from religion",
so now they are on to the next red herring. Fact is, they hate anybody
who doesn't devolve to their own selfish lifestyle, and are willing to
do anything to avoid facing the fact that they just selfish haters...

Debatable. The constitution does not say there will not be religion.

Religious people also have a right to use public property. It is

Ever hear of separation of church and state?

yup. Where does it state that in the Constitution?


In the first amendment and in interpretations by the supreme court,

The supremes have made conflicting interpretations over the years. The

values, religious beliefs and political beliefs. Sometimes reasonable
people with high values have to agree to disagree. More importantly,
it is inappropriate to try and impose your religious beliefs on others
and then accuse them of lacking "values".

Other than, possibly, the first one, there is nothing religious there. I
don't consider the first

meaning. Now liberals,
especially, have made it a sham. And, I agree that 'it is 'it is

theirs. If you can't read
that and determine what 'values' are being discussed, then I can understand your comments.


Funny post, really, and it shows how disconnected you are.

Please explain how liberals have made marriage a sham and while you are
at it, tell how atheists are "imposing" their beliefs. Atheists don't
give a damn about your religious beliefs so long as you don't try to
impose them on others.


Then why do they go state to state, town to town chasing Christians
where ever they are? Most times suing towns and organizations when not
one person from that town or org is even involved or complaining, only
the lawyers from San Fransisco? Because they "do" care about "my"
religion and my right to celebrate it with my friends and family and
country... They are just hateful bullys, using lies and any other
underhanded, backhanded, cowardly way to get what they want.

Atheists aren't imposing their beliefs on
anyone...there are no door to door atheist.

Atheists are using the court to enforce their beliefs. The door to door
missionary is at least honest about their views, and you can just close the

Religious beliefs are fine. Just do not force them on others, but
likewise, others should not infringe your religious freedoms. And
marriage
has been different things through the years. Lots of the profits in
the
bible had multiple wives. In the 1800's you could marry multiple
spouses
in Texas, Alabama and another regions also. And not even have to be
Mormon. Texas about we're married if you announced it in front of 20
witness's or signed in to a hotel as Mr. And Mrs. No church or state
involved. It is supposed to be a free country. You want to marry same
sex? Go for it. Just do not require the rest of unto pay for your
lifestyle. Same goes for most drugs, do them, die if that happens,
but do
not expect society to pay for your medical bills.


Atheists are bullying Christians all over the country. Putting up nasty
posters to mock and just kill Christian freedom of speech at Nativities
and such, even going as far as taking the word God from a 6 year olds
poem to her granny at a school function, and getting "A Charlie Brown

Actually, they belong to the people, and the Establishment Clause in the
Constitution and Supreme Court rulings since say you cannot use the
public schools or facilities to push religious beliefs.


--------------------

The
Establishment Clause in the Constitution says there will not be a state
religion. Nothing about not using public facilities.



Please. Save your interpretations for Herring, Snotty, and the rest of
the charlatan believers.


As a matter of fact it say "Congress shall make no law."

dang Ipad and the spelling corrections.

You've referred several times to differences in the number of wives.
Not a lot of instances in the
bible of male prophets marrying other males, goats, or whatever. Ditto
with Texas, Alabama, and
other regions. I have a gay niece living with her girlfriend. They
will probably invite me to a
'wedding' soon. I won't attend because I think the 'ceremony' is a sham.


Obviously you will be a hate-filled asshole until the day you die, and
probably thereafter. Is skipping that wedding something Jesus would want
you to do?


-----------------------------------

You seem to be the hate filled asshole. Herring has his views, and as
long as he does not force them on others, that is OK. If you do not
like the idea of a gay partnership, then it is ok to pass on the
ceremony. Same as passing on most others ideas that are abhorrent to
oneself.

It is intolerant to force your religious views onto the public schools
or onto public facilities.

----------------------------

Those public facilities belong to the religious as well as to the
Atheists.

And that doesn't entitle either to state sponsorship. Do it on your
own.


So what does putting up a Christmas Tree, or Playing A Charlie Brown
Christmas have to do with State Sponsorship? Nothing, nothing at all...


It does if the tree is put up on public property, idiot.


----------------------
Only if put up by the government and paid for by the government. And
only one religious viewpoint allowed.


They couldn't show where the Constitution said "freedom from religion",
so now they are on to the next red herring. Fact is, they hate anybody
who doesn't devolve to their own selfish lifestyle, and are willing to
do anything to avoid facing the fact that they just selfish haters...



Neither of you have any understanding of the Constitution. Not a whit of understanding.


Actually you seem to have little sense of anything meaningful.

Judging from that article I'd have to say that the author, and
probably you, share some confusion about the difference between
values, religious beliefs and political beliefs. Sometimes
reasonable
people with high values have to agree to disagree. More importantly,
it is inappropriate to try and impose your religious beliefs on
others
and then accuse them of lacking "values".

Other than, possibly, the first one, there is nothing religious
there. I
don't consider the first
one a religious position. 'Marriage' was an institution that had some
meaning. Now liberals,
especially, have made it a sham. And, I agree that 'it is 'it is
inappropriate to try and impose
your religious beliefs on others', and that includes atheists imposing
theirs. If you can't read
that and determine what 'values' are being discussed, then I can
understand your comments.

Religious beliefs are fine. Just do not force them on others, but
likewise, others should not infringe your religious freedoms. And
marriage
has been different things through the years. Lots of the profits in
the
bible had multiple wives. In the 1800's you could marry multiple
spouses
in Texas, Alabama and another regions also. And not even have to be
Mormon. Texas about we're married if you announced it in front of 20
witness's or signed in to a hotel as Mr. And Mrs. No church or state
involved. It is supposed to be a free country. You want to marry same
sex? Go for it. Just do not require the rest of unto pay for your
lifestyle. Same goes for most drugs, do them, die if that happens,
but do
not expect society to pay for your medical bills.


Atheists are bullying Christians all over the country. Putting up nasty
posters to mock and just kill Christian freedom of speech at Nativities
and such, even going as far as taking the word God from a 6 year olds
poem to her granny at a school function, and getting "A Charlie Brown
Christmas" banned... This is just intolerance and hate, nothing else...


That's yet another crock of crap. Atheists are not bullying anyone. You
want a Nativity scene? Fine. Put it up on your front lawn or on your
church's lawn, but not on the lawn of a public school or in a public
park. There is no place for religious functions or displays in the
public schools.

Note, however, there is little objection to public college courses
teaching "comparative religions," so long as the teaching isn't favoring
one religion over another.

Please. Save your interpretations for Herring, Snotty, and the rest of

-----------------
dang Ipad and the spelling corrections.

You've referred several times to differences in the number of wives.
Not a lot of instances in the
bible of male prophets marrying other males, goats, or whatever. Ditto
with Texas, Alabama, and
other regions. I have a gay niece living with her girlfriend. They
will probably invite me to a
'wedding' soon. I won't attend because I think the 'ceremony' is a sham.


Obviously you will be a hate-filled asshole until the day you die, and
probably thereafter. Is skipping that wedding something Jesus would want
you to do?


-----------------------------------

You seem to be the hate filled asshole. Herring has his views, and as
long as he does not force them on others, that is OK. If you do not
like the idea of a gay partnership, then it is ok to pass on the
ceremony. Same as passing on most others ideas that are abhorrent to
oneself.



I don't care who people marry or what color people are or their country of origin.


Actually you always preach hate at people who come from a country or state
you seem to dislike.

Show me where it says "freedom from religion"??
You have no understanding of the Constitution or the "separation"

If we use your interpretation of the Constitution and the laws we may
end up with a tax lien on our property or we may even be sued by the
government for non-payment of taxes.


You should put the deed in you wife's name if you are going to screw the
