PING!
If it’s not the homosexuals whining about something, it’s the atheists. Just leave us alone!!!!
‘’Atheists don’t believe in God. But the Devil does.’’— Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.
Have at it unbelievers. We won't tread on you and you better not tread on us who do believe. Right Michael Newdow?
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams —October 11, 1798
Atheist rights are negotiable because they have no source.
The US Constitution makes it quite clear that the Bill of Rights only applies to Christians.
Amen. ‘’Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye’’.
No it doesn't.
This is news to me. Would appreciate any enlightenment you can provide on why the Bill of Rights doesn`t apply to me.
What do you make of the John Adams quote above in Post #4? ( not saying I agree with the supposed sentiment of it ).
Patriots don't "celebrate the Fourth".
We do celebrate Independence Day.
I think that’s John Adams’s opinion, informed by his acknowledging the blazingly obvious fact that this was and is a majority-Christian nation, founded by believers who made a point of not having a national religion. They were believers in Christ who also created a nation that did not require any form of Christian belief in order for a citizen to be considered a citizen.
I don’t see what that has to do with the statement that the Bill of Rights only applies to Christians.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams October 11, 1798
Wouldn't you agree that events have proven him correct?
Eventually the child molesters from NAMBLA will hold their own “patriotic’ party to show they are as Americans as apple pie.
By the Gregorian calendar references, ¨In the Year of Our Lord....¨ Yet that calendar had long been as it is today, the standard throughout the world. And though I´m a ´God The Father´ type I couldn´t be happier that Christians - and a few Jews - founded The United States. Now we´ll see if it can likewise be held.
You directed this post to another FReeper and myself so I am guessing this is an answer to my earlier question, but your gonna have to unpack that one for me—because we follow the Gregorian calendar, the Bill of Rights doesn`t count for atheists?
Actually Thomas Jefferson said Constitutional protection applies to Christians, Jews, Hindoos, and Mohammedans. (His words and spelling, don’t have my quote file on this computer right now).
So, you are totally wrong.
