........ states otherwise. Let us not forget that this treaty was written not long after the founding of the US nation when many of the main players in the founding of the nation were still in power.

Art. 11. 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.

The mottos "In God we Trust" on coins came in 1861 after an appeal by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville

The "under God" phrase was added to the pledge in 1954 after a campaign by the Catholic fraternal society the Knights of Columbus.

Do you think they do this out of hate, ignorance or is it just of case of trying to serve their own ends by trying to demonize those who don't share their beliefs ?

As a person who has lost all hope in this life, I find myself forced to believe in god, and Christ. I find myself needing to believe; believe that there has to be something else. I can't help but believe and I do...I also know someone who has lost all hope in life. This is why she has turned to religion and is a "devout "christian." ; because there is no longer hope in life, so she must believe in "god." However, I'm always amazed by atheists because they seem so smart to me, and not brainwashed......They create intelligent responses to everything. On the other hand, "christians" seem extremely brainwashed....There is even a term..."Religiosity disorder." Everything that atheists believe in is a fact or can be proven.God probably created this because he wants faith, only faith, right?..yeah Well, I don't know but because I've lost all hope in this life and subconsiously refuse to believe that this is it, I believe in God, but atheists are more functional in society than "christians"

Hello!! :o) I hope you're OK. A rather harsh question - I know. But reality is often harsh. And sometimes I wonder if my fellow Christians would PREFER that a new-born UNWANTED baby was thrown away RATHER than be given to a gay couple to raise. So I ask. If you are a Christian - and were given the choice between the two [Gay Parents or Garbage Bin] where would YOU prefer an unwanted baby ended up?! Have a great day!! Craig! :o)

Atheism is the state of disbelief or non-belief[1] in the existence of a deity or deities

So, by being a non-believer, you believe in something (namely, disbelief), and by claiming that existence doesn't exist, what are you claiming?

Before answering remember Luther´s words in a letter to fellow reformer Heinrich Zwingli. "There are almost as many sects and beliefs as there are heads; this one will not admit Baptism; that one rejects the Sacrament of the altar; another places another world between the present one and the day of judgment; some teach that Christ is not God. There is not an individual, however clownish he may be who does not claim to be inspired by the Holy Ghost, and who does not put forth as prophecies his ravings and dreams."

Repeatedly, writers to "Answers" accuse non believers of trying to ban religion.
NO NEED TO FOLKS! LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES, RELIGIONISTS STAND A REASONABLE CHANCE OF DESTROYING YOUR SELVES.
Just look to Catholic / Protestants [ Ireland ], Sunni / Shia [ Iraq ] and Jewish / Islamic[Holy Land] destruction of each other for proof.
Continuing to try to establish Evangelical Christian hegemony over all in
America may surely bring an early endtime scenario. However,It will be man made!.

homeland security announced yesterday 12-15-06 that they will be watching rail shipments more closely than they previously have
beenand that CHEMICAL rail shipments will not be allowed to sit
in any rail yards for to very long.i live right across from one of the
largest yards in the country in indiana and have always thought
how easy it would be to compromise these trains.children inthis
area use shortcuts through these tracks,the hobos reside near
them,there are no fences and security has always been at issue.
i myself used to mushroom hunt along these tracks until i was
spotted by rail security,questioned and then politely told to
leave.before i left i told security they need to install fences
if they want to keep threats out.this area is very vulnralable,and as
far as i know it still is.the government always has said their would be another terrorist incident so could this be the next 9/11

I commonly hear that being Atheist means you are an Angry, Un-happy, UN fulfilled person. How many Atheists agree? I can't speak for others but I live a great life. I have an awesome relationship, I am Successful and I don't feel emptiness, Infact I feel like I am more educated then I was a few years ago and that makes me feel even better. So how about the rest of you? Do you feel like you fit into the Stereotype of being an angry hateful person?

if atheists are monkeys for not beleiving anything then religious people with their dogmas, false ideologies and false doctrines are probably the equivalent of swine.
