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 door in their face. I'm not aware of any court cases in which atheists are trying to force their non-belief in a creator on anyone else. Atheists do use the courts to attempt to keep religion out of the public schools and to keep religion out of public facilities and out of public budgets, actions they are entitled to take. There is nothing dishonest about this. |

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

Discussing the validity of belief, or religions or the disparities between one's stated religious beliefs and one's behavior is not stopping anyone from practicing hie or her beliefs. Further, there are many public officials in this country, especially conservative public officials, who claim to be of a particular religious belief but their statements and behavior indicate they are hypocrites. You've claimed more than once to be a christian, a catholic, if memory serves. Your claimed religious beliefs and your behavior and your disparaging statements about others do not seem compatible. |

And they are nothing but bullying. In San Diego they (atheists) flooded the town committee with requests for the Christmas display spots and then just put up a bunch of mocking displays, celebrating nothing... but for no other reason but to denigrate and eventually get the Christmas display discontinued... Nothing else... That is bullying, period. |
