We have taken God out of our schools

We have taken God out of our Government buildings

We have taken God out of public view

We built this Country with God as our foundation

If God is gone - then what of our Nation

If people choose America as their Nation, shouldn't they adopt the ways and just know that no matter what they believe in, this concept should be respected.

I was proud to say my pledge in school!

One Nation under God!

Now that God is dead - is our Nation dead as well.

Every war we have ever fought, we assumed we had God on our side. That gave our military that extra strength to fight through hell and win in the name of America.

In God we trust

Are we still winning wars with that same moral?

Now our belief in God must be kept silent!

Where is America - perhaps it is in the same dark place where we have been forced to put God!

Me - I'd have to say when cars don't stop at zebra crossings. It drives me mad! I nearly saw a car hit a pushchair today.

Also when you have a day when your skin itches and tickles non-stop and your clothes don't feel right and you embarrass yourself all the time.

And when your girlfriend hassles you to get ready to go out then when you are ready she still has to change her clothes, straighten her hair, and put her make-up on.

When this gang flattened my front wall they told me they were encouraging social cohesion by breaking down barriers. Can't argue with that.

It began hundreds of years ago, when the Church changed the Bible. . .


The "New Testament": Pagan revenge

Between G-d's own miracles and the Jewish teaching of His Word, the pagan priesthoods of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were steadily losing their power over the gentile populations. They decided to fight back by creating a new religion, one that would claim to be the fulfillment of the Hebrew "Old Testament," yet would bring back the pagan lies in a new disguise.

Thus the "New Testament" was written, in Greek rather than Hebrew, and attached to the original Hebrew scriptures to try to change their meaning back toward paganism.

The "New Testament" tried to change G-d from One, as in the Hebrew scriptures, into a "trinity" as in Egyptian cults or the eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It described Jesus as G-d in a human body, like the pagans always described Pharoah and other wicked kings. It declared G-d's Law to be a "curse" that no one can truly obey, announced that there must be a "mediator" between G-d and man, and pretended that salvation could now be achieved outside the Law.

To blind the gentile nations, the "New Testament" also warned people not to learn from the Jews, declaring that Israel no longer possessed the true, complete Word of G-d.

In the Bible, the book of Daniel warned of an evil power--a false religion--that would believe in the true "G-d of fortresses... plus a god its fathers did not know." This religion would "speak bizarre words about the Most High, wear out the holy ones (the Jews), and plan to change the festivals and the religious Law."7 The Christian Church has indeed replaced Passover with Easter (the pagan holiday of Astarte and Ishtar) and Hanukah with Christmas (the pagan winter holiday).

Since then, Christian paganism has expanded to include Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and so forth.

As an Atheist I would like to apoligize to people of faith for the rude behavior and blind hatred coming from my Atheist friends. It's shameful...Sorry. If they would only apply our standards to themselves this would never happen.

I am going thru a very difficult time right now and have placed all my hope, faith, and trust in God. I want to know it is not just wishful thinking. I have asked Him to show me He exists in a way that is undeniably Him.

The greek mythology book I read said that Hercules was alive during the Trojan war. Was Achilles more skillful than Hercules? Would Hercules have overpowered Achilles?

An excellent question asked of me: how are you any different?

I can begin by saying I do not believe in a God whose book claims he drowned all humanity, including newborns, infants, toddlers, little kids ... Take the blinders off for a moment and visualize the horror they and their parents experienced drowning. Their book says Their God did that to those little kids.

For another, I do not persecute minorities whose rights and freedoms depend upon the whim of the majority. Holier-than-thou christians will persecute gays while ignoring their own miserable track record with morality and human rights. They try to remove the mote from our eyes but their imperfections would leave us blind.

I prefer to persecute bullies, not their victims.

And that is the other way in which I differ: I really don't care about popularity where intellectual integrity and human rights are concerned. No book will convince me to turn a blind eye to injustice or bigotry: god-made or man-made.

Mithra was born on December 25th....

Jesus was NOT.

Mithra died for the sins of his followers...... a concept which is pagan in nature and UNHEARD of in Abrahmic religions.
