Answer 1

I live in America where there is a first admendment right for you to believe in God. Why would I protest this right that allows you to go to church and me to not go to church?

If in court I would not affirm on the Bible, but on the US Constitution.

3 US Presidents did not affirm on the Bible but the Constitution, Kennedy was one, and Teddy Roosevelt was another during their inaguration.

Just curious, and I'm not insulting you, but why do you use Caps Lock so often, it is hard on the eyes to read.

Answer 2

Everyone does not know that "this world systems is based on godly values..." These "values" that you write of are actually based on the behaviors needed to keep a group of people living together in harmony.

Question 1: Boycott of what? What would we need to not purchase en masse to get our point across?

Question 2: No one is required to put their hand on The Bible. This is a misconception. We are allowed to simply avow that we will tell the truth.

Now I'd like to make a point: Why do you assume that atheists "hate god?" This could not be further from the truth. We do not believe in god. How can we hate him?

Answer 3

Many years ago, our forefathers created a system of governtmet based upon GOD's laws. The church was a huge part of the government, and the people in charge were there because GOD decreed that they were the rulers.

This government was called a MONARCHY. A king got up and said "I am your king because GOD says so. Later on, many people who worshipped GOD differently, or worshipped different GODs, were imprisoned or PUT TO DEATH because they did not follow the ONE TRUE GOD (that the king followed)

Our American forefathers came to the US to GET AWAY from a government based on GOD. They set up the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence based on MAN'S right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They said that GOD has created man with certain abilities and freedoms, therefore the government will be governed "BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE" (not GOD).

In other words, they used language that stated that GOD created them with certain freedoms, but these same freedoms mean that our system does not depend on GOD. This is why the US has remained for almost 250 years while other MONARCHIES have fallen or become some other form of government (the UK and France are no longer monarchies, but also ruled by the laws of MAN, not GOD).

Basing a system of government on a GOD that can't be PROVEN to exist is completely faulty, and such governments have all fallen and been replaced with systems that are free of GOD's laws. Actually, there are some systems based on only GOD's laws that still exist - it's called Sharia, and it's practiced in some parts of Northern Africa; you know, where all the women wear burkhas and get beaten if they are educated and independent.

Answer 4

Really, EVERYONE knows that the world system is based on godly values and knowing that God exists? Not everyone knows that, and your "Godly values" are largely common sense.

The court system now says "swear or affirm", I affirmed the last time I was in court, for jury duty. They never brought out a bible. They never mentioned God.

This isn't about hating, or trying to rid anyone of their faith. It's about equal ground for everyone, and if it means keeping religion out of schools and government, so everyone is free to believe as they like at home and church, then I see how it's worth it. It's not about taking anything away from Christianity, but acknowledging that there are other ways.

And please do something about your capitalization. It's very distracting, makes me not want to read what you have to say.

Answer 5

Of course you won't be insulted. Who in their right mind would insult someone whose question was so non-insulting?

Firstly, there is no proving that something doesn't exist without having the collective knowledge of the universe to show as proof that he's nowhere in it. Belief and non-belief are opinion. Proof is fact.

Secondly, no courtroom I've ever been in has instructed the person about to give testimony to place a hand on a bible or make an oath to God. They used to do that, but not any more. The person now raises their right hand and swears that their testimony will be truthful.

Answer 6

1. How can you proove there is no God? I also can't proove that there aren't invisible mushrooms on Pluto. That doesn't make it true. To be honest, I don't really care if people believe in God, as long as they keep it to themselves. I also don't care if someone believes in the Tooth Fairy. If there was a large group worshiping the Tooth Fairy, I would chuckle and turn away and go on with my life. It's the sme thing that I do when I see Christians. I'm not obsessed with controilling what other poeple think; I'll leave that to the Christians. ;)

2. Our court is not "Based On Acknowledging GOD In Their System". They use an antiquated oath. They do have alternate oaths for non-believers, muslims, buddhists, etc.

Answer 7

slow down a bit and think. a persons belief in god does not prevent them from holding the same moral values as a beliver. there is no scientific evidence either proving or disproving the existence of god. not beliving does not make a person unwilling or unable to swear to tell the truth and in many courts the oath is taken without either the mention of god or the bible. belief is a personal thing and to date we have no proof of who is right and who is wrong. your opening statement is false on the face of it since the whole world does not admit the existence of your god and so has different standards and beliefs. a boycott proves nothing beyond your willingness to stage one so it is meaningless in this context. it cannot be proven that god either exists or does not so we are left with faith and we each have our own version of that. we may find the truth when we die but will we know it?

Answer 8

There is no "world system."

Thomas Jefferson wrote the US Constitution and he was an atheist.

Bibles are not used in courtrooms. People do not swear on bibles in courtrooms.

Your questions demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge of history and the court system. Perhaps you should study history before asking questions that have no factual foundation.

Answer 9

"I am treated as evil by those who feel persecuted because they are not
allowed to force me to believe as they do."

Love is not murdering your son to appease your own vanity. Love is not hatred or wrath, “casting” billions of people into a “lake of fire whose smoke rises up forever,” because they have offended your ego or disobeyed your rules. Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being.

Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist [Edited by E.T.B.]

Jehova was a tyrant. there are *other Gods* according to the ten commandments. Jehova can kiss my butt and if he is the Creator God then I disown him. But i know there are older Gods that were forgotten like Anu and Venus.

Answer 10

answer one: well, because i really don't care whether or not anyone believes in god. my mission in life is to make the most of it, not waste my time trying to prove the unprovable.

answer two: no i would not put my hand on the bible. i don't believe in god. i hold my values to a different standard than being afraid of going to hell. i think i should be moral because its right, not because god told me so. i would require they get a satanic bible, i'd put my hand on that.
