1- America is NOT an Xtian nation.
Drawn under Washington, authored by American diplomat Joel Barlow in 1796, the following treaty was sent to the floor of the Senate, June 7, 1797, where it was read aloud in its entirety and unanimously approved. John Adams, having seen the treaty, signed it and proudly proclaimed it to the Nation.
The Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 clearly states :
" As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
2- If one more mother-fucking theist thinks that "In God We Trust" means that this is a Xtian nation, they can suck my asshole.
"In God We Trust" wasn't added to our money until the 1950s, as a nationalist tool to rally the US against the "godless soviet union." It was a tool of the cold war.
One fleeting phrase on the back of our money does not make up for the array of pagan symbolism plastered all over our currency. The all knowing Eye of Horus? The unfinished pyramid? The Star of David?
3- 1892
“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”
1892 to 1923
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."
1923 to 1954
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."
1954 to Present
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
1954. Yet another example of a modern addition to American history, added as a result of religious lobby, and then contemporary religious americans who have no understanding of this nation's secular roots, completely misrepresenting things.
4- Morality.
Get off your fucking high horses. Morality? Religion and morality have nothing to do with each other.
Exodus 21:7-11
"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt faithlessly with her. If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money."
That's the bible explaining how every man is free to sell his daughter into sexual slavery, with a few stipulations, of course.
Exodus 35:2
"For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a sabbath of complete rest to the LORD; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death."
If you work on sunday, you must be killed.
Ephesians 6:5
"Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ."
1 Timothy 6:1-4
"Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties. If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions..."
According to the bible, not only is slavery morally right, but slaves must serve their masters well. It will make god happy.
MATTHEW 15:4
"For God commanded, saying, HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER: and, HE THAT CURSETH FATHER OR MOTHER, LET HIM DIE THE DEATH."
Wow. If your child disobeys you, you must kill your child.
The list of biblical immorality goes on. To think THIS is where xtians are claiming to have a moral high-ground? This is the good book?????
5- Prayer/Intelligent Design in School.
Bull shit. Party Foul. Shenanigans.
Whatever way you want to call it. You don't want prayer in school. You don't want equal time for all 'viewpoints.' You want your prayers to your god, and your viewpoints in school.
Or maybe i should go down to one of those public schools that allows prayer or intelligent design in the classroom and become a teacher. Every day i'll make my students pray to Zeus, Vishnu, Juno, Odin, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Buddha, Zoroastra, Ra, Olmec, the Galactic Overlord Xenu, and Satan. Would you like that?
And you want an option for your children to learn about the origins of time, because a book full of contradictions written by morons who thought the earth was the center of the universe holds more factual weight to you than the scientific method, observation, experimentation, peer review, knowledge an reason? You want equal time for 'all' views? Ok, well while we're including all 'origin sciences,' I'll have to teach them how the the Thetans came to earth and created humanity; or how about how humans used to live under the earth with Kaang; maybe the Australian Father of All Spirits waking up the Sun Mother, and she telling him to go to earth and give form to all things; in the greek beginning there was a void, with nothing but a Nyx, a bird with black wings that layed a golden egg and that egg became Eros, and the two egg shell halves became Earth (Gaia) and the sky (Uranus); perhaps how Vishnu created everything from inside the coils of a snake in the lake of void? I know, we'll also have to provide evidence for the Iroquois fact that the earth was created on the back of a turtle. I really hope that one wins, it's cute.
After all, we're all aware that it was obviously the Flying Spaghetti Monster's Noodly Appendage that created everything, and is constantly guiding everything under the guise of physics and free will.
Besides, did you ever think that you and your damn children can pray for your damn selves. Theres no reason to be shoving that down everyone's throat with school prayer. You want your kid to pray to your god in school? Every morning when before they leave home tell them, "Don't forget your lunch, and don't forget to pray during school." Done. There's your prayer in school without forcing religion into our secular schools. Or fuck, take them out of public school and send them to a private/religious school.
There are plenty of non Xtians in the country that are paying taxes so that real science can be learned.
