Would you vote for an Atheist President?

Wait, so the Mormon and Muslim faiths are con-artist creations, but the rest of Christianity isn't? Or Judaism?

You really think Abraham wasn't a con man? Or Moses, one of the great hucksters of all time?

And while we are at it, if Judaism is pretty much full of ****, wouldn't that make anything that follows in it's footsteps pretty stinky too?

This message was brought to you by Jews for a revival of mass lobotomies.

How come every time I try to use the shid word, it gets asterisked out, but I see a lot of other people use it with no problem?

Goddamn it.

Those are the 2 that are certain to be con artist creations. One was started by a butcher/pedophile. The other keeps writing sacred text as they go. The others you mentioned are based mainly on old men in the desert who say they were "touched" by the spirit. People who take that stuff literally are out of their mind. The religion that would actually help the world is one based solely on Christ's teachings. The one closest to that is Liberal Catholicism etc. People are usually into a certain religion because it's against what they're against (to start with.) What you're saying is there are people with machettes, but others also have plastic knives. O.K...LOL..I'm still like a thousand more times concerned about the machette people. It's no wonder these Muslims can be so bloody. They grow up watching their pa slice animal necks open each December. What did you do 20 years or so ago? Take the air out of my tires? O.K...What were you then? A barely-practicing Jew? No telling what a practicing Muslim would of done if I had upset him. Cut the car into 2 pieces? Cut me into 5 pieces? It would have been worse. A so called "Moderate Muslim"(whatever da fk that is) would of at least sliced all 4 tires. Knifework would have been involved.

Dude, the Muslims learned from the best butchers evah.

I absolutely guarantee that the followers of Jesus have slaughtered far more people than the followers of 'Mo'.

Again, you try to make an excuse for the present. What is the matter with you people. They're gunna have a knife to your throat, and you're still gunna be doing this p.c. crap. Get real. 20-25% of the fkn world wants to cut on you right now, and you keep saying they ain't very bad. You gunna wait until they send a human wave into Israel? You still gunna blame someone else for that? You gunna blame Christians for frying people in the top of those trade centers? Those were Muslims, and they'd love to do that again, too (would if they could.) This why so many Jews got caught in Germany even after Hitler had said what he did in the early 30's? Damn. Wake up.

As a Jew, or at least a former one, I assure you again that I've never experienced a bit of a problem with any Muslim I've ever met. I even am sorta friends with a Saudi Prince that hangs out with my friend and his brother. He's camped in my backyard, I've gone hiking with him, and not a single problem.

I do, however, still get reminded of my religion from Christians, a lot more frequently than you'd think.

I knew Muslims in high school, college, in my neighborhood back in WC, and I never got a single look of disdain, not a single remark, nothing!

Every single iota of bigotry I've ever experienced or witnessed? You got it, the followers of Jesus (or is that Horus, I get them confused?).

Not that every Christian is bad, but man, you really gotta cut back on the propaganda as your worldview.

If an atheist ever ran for president (and had an actual chance) I would not only probably vote for that candidate, I would also be tempted to quit my job and go volunteer for that candidate full time.

Of course, an atheist isn't going to be getting a major party nomination any time soon, because voters in this country require their presidents to believe that some guy who lived 2000 years ago had magic powers.

[johnny pinwheel]

i wish there was one to vote for. no politician is going to sell atheist thought, its "unamerican". i'm not an athiest but just looking around "religion" in general,does not have much to do with God. settlements, suicide bombers, drone bombers and invasions....i'd say they are all doing "Gods work"......lol. God is geat, religion is something men made up in order to kill each other. its the biggest oxymoron ever created by man.....RELIGION, THE REASON WE ALL KILL EACH OTHER...I LAUGH AT THE STUPIDITY BUT GOD IS PROBABLY CRYING OVER IT.

Nero killed 6 million Christians and burned Rome to the ground while blaming them for the fire. That's a pretty good head start.

Wow, I can't even come up with an appropriate insult for you. That post of yours is just so ridiculous.

However.

I'd certainly like to know how you came up with six million!

Did you know, by the way, that there is absolutely no actual proof that Romans persecuted early Christians? All the 'early' writings of such nonsense has been proven to be forgeries done at a much, much later date.

Did you also know that the Romans were remarkably tolerant of their peoples religious beliefs?

Oh yeah, duh, of course you didn't.

Does the second world war not count as recent enough?

Despite the imbecilic claims by Christians in this country, Hitler was not an atheist, and was, in fact, a passionate Catholic. This isn't even debatable.

Thirty million or so Russians died because of him, let alone all the Jews and Gypsies, and other assorted undesirables.

I could go into more current atrocities performed by these groups, but it's a lot more complicated now that they have refined their techniques. I'll gladly point in the right direction, however, if you wish.

[Riot]

Oh, why not hijack this thread, but my apologies if anyone cares .... <g>

You mention Hitler. It infuriates me the way people casually compare anything to Hitler (not you) I've met tattooed holocaust survivors when I was younger, and it's just not right to insult and demean that horror that way. But the demonstrators that compared Bush to Hitler, now Obama to Hitler, etc. - what a bunch of losers.

Segue - Glenn Beck compares Obama to Hitler all the time, accused Obama's interest in restoring volunteerism (Peace Corp, anyone?) to "indoctrination youth camps", a threat to our security, etc.

But I see that Glenn Beck is going to start holding "education camps" for his followers. And that is exactly what he is calling them.

Can he really, really not see the hypocrite in the mirror?
