Liberty-loving, freedom-seeking atheists need not apply. What a waste of space.

I'm a freedom-loving atheist but I've come to the conclusion that it's a good thing our Constitution claims that our rights come from "God." Do they? No, how could they, there is no god. BUT.... what that "comes from God" claim does is draw a line in the sand over which our enemies should never step. It marks where we stop negotiating, explaining, reasoning and wheedling... and start shooting. It says, "No matter how well you argue, I am unreasonable on this point. You will never get me to give up on this point, even if you can make a great case for your side. Here is where, even if my intelligence fails, my emotions kick in and I will unapologetically bomb the snot out of you."

And that's GOOD, because people who have no line, no wall to place their back against, can be pushed all the way to the gulag.

Oh come on, we love you man! Come read about the foundations of the freedom of how you worship / don't worship, that you enjoy!
