Sec. 4: RELIGIOUS TESTS. No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being.

Note the last part :

"provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."



Funny thing is the quote is taken from a link provided by CM who was trying to deny that the Texas constitution bars atheists from holding office.

Why is it almost a scorn or joke or a humiliation if one remains a virgin ? Why being a virgin is no more a virtue to be respected and sought after ?

There are accusations for members of the clergy of Christian, Jewish and Muslim religions alike, for exercise of pedophilia.

When Isaac became a young boy, God spoke to Abraham and commanded him to take his son to Mount Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice to God. Do you suspect any relation between the sacrifice and pedophilia?

....... yet make up about 10 percent of thr general population.

Christians represent 75 percent of the population and also represent 75 percent of the prison population.

This means that atheists are 50 times less likely to offend.

What does this say about the christian belief that their religion makes them better people and that atheists who don't share this belief must be morally bankrupt as a result.

I wonder how many christians who arte desperate to be right at all costs and hate the idea of cold hard facts casting their beliefs in a negative light will use the old "Well they were atheists when they committed the crime but they found god while in prison" excuse.

...but surely there are natural 'roles' in the household, right?

I mean, I think it is good women have 'come out of the home' into the working world - I have seen many good careers for them, such as pin-ups, posters etc...

So what is going on here?!?

when in 7 states atheists are not allowed to hold public office nor be a witness in court.

Is it a case of freedom of religion as long as you have a religion

In the United States, some State Constitutions require a religious test as a qualification for holding public office. For instance The Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution provides that an official may be "excluded from holding office" if he does not "acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being." Similarly, North Carolina, South Carolina & Tennessee all have mandatory disqualifications in their State Constitutions from public office for those who deny God

So I am pretty much a full-fledged Catholic. I've gone through all of the ceremonies: Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, etc. You know the deal.

At any rate, I really do not know what to think of the Catholic Church anymore. A lot of their policies just do not seem to integrate with what the Bible says, so I'm very wary about what to believe religion-wise anymore.

But that's not the issue.

The issue is that my sister had a Baby in August and in October asked me to be his Godfather. The Baptism is in March of next year. I'm a freshman in college and I'm trying to figure out how I should be feeling about a religious ceremony in a church that I'm shaky over now. But I do not want to disappoint my sister and my family either. It's not like I plan on leaving the church, I'm just not sure of where I stand with it.

I think I've basically been rambling this whole time, but I think you answerers may get the idea of what I'm trying to ask.

How would you feel in this situation?

OK, I have a questions for Atheist from the Qur'an. Allah (God) directly ask the Atheist in the Qur'an:
"If there is no God; then who created you? Were you created from nothing or are you the creaters of yourself?"

Allah also says in the Qur'an there are only two thing that prevent people from believing after the signs have been made completely clear to them:
1. They want a prestigious status and leadership
2. They want oppression over others

A wise man once said "If I saw a footprint tells me there has been a person walking here, If I see smoke it tells me there's fire there, If I see dropping of a camel I know a camels been there, so are you trying to tell me all of these mountains and these deserts and this world that has been created in a perfect system doesn't have a creator behind it, how can you have that?"
