No we do not have an establised religion here but we live by certain principals who's are they if not GOD's?
\Why don't you admit that as Atheists, Secualrists you want those PRINCIPALS GOD's removed that is the truth now isn't???
You won't find Homosexual Marraige legal in Israel, the Middle East WHY? because MUSLIMS and JEWS also live by certain godly principals, only secular nordic countries where GODLY PRINCIPALS have vanished is what you are seeking to do here????

You're right so keep on telling the truth girl! Freedom of Speech (Freedom) is also a Christian concept. It's getting to where Pastors and others are in danger of losing their freedom, people losing their jobs if they say anything not "polictically correct". People think they want I don't know WHO to run things instead of God just a bunch of air heads who think they would like to experiment with the lot of us. Not even being willing to look at scripture and see the wisdom in it just being Anti-Christ and Anti God-well it reeks of willful ignorance. willingly ignorant. On purpose. It's darn scary. In other countries there is very little freedom and no freedom to worship the God of your choosing in many..........we shouldn't mess with America's God ordained standards.

Sigh . Why do you debate if you're not open to other points of view, and it all fits into an "atheist conspiracy?"
There are over 2,000 different gods, so you'll have to be more specific.
The United States was founded by christians and Deists, not as a religious order but as a secular state guaranteeing freedom of religion for all and a bill of rights that prevents tyranny by the majority -- or stupid people, whichever is worse.
The bible still says to stone homosexuals and adulterers (Leviticus). Do you still believe those should have something to do with good principles, much less the state? Did I mention that homosexuals are still hung in public, and rape victims lashed in "Islamic" states? Maybe you should move there.
I'm opposed to forcing religion on other people. Does this make me a more moral person than you? And to imagine, I don't believe in gods.

First off, I don't know If I fully understood your question because your grammar was horrible and made it hard to understand. Second, I have no idea if your talking about principals as in "the principal of the school" or if your talking about principles as in statements of what we should or not do.
If your talking about principles, then I don't think we live by principles of god. At least, thats what I interpreted on what you said. I think we live by principles on what we believe is morally right and what is morally wrong.
And to your second statement/ question, "\Why don't you admit that as Atheists, Secualrists you want those PRINCIPALS GOD's removed that is the truth now isn't???", Way to put words in other peoples mouth. This didn't make sense at all, but from what I can tell its as if your making a generalization.
And for your last statement/ paragraph, that sounded more as a rant then a question.
Actually most of this "question" sounded more as a rant with improper grammar.
You could also make it more clear on what "principles" your talking about. I just made assumptions on what principles your asking about.

You are right and then you are wrong also....You forget about free will and the fact that many are called but few are chosen in the kingdom of God..You are right about Godly principal and secular progressives trying to change the tide in America by removing those very important principals ... On the other hand you are wrong about the middle east they are run mostly by dictators and are oppressed in every sense of the word...
If we can get a president that values "WE THE PEOPLE" and understands the concept and importance of that, then people like you and I will have to continue to take a stand for what's right ! That will never change because there's always going to
offenses that are worth to fight against.....
Remember to train your child in the way they shall go and they will not depart from it..That's our job as parents , and even if they stray from it most return to what is truth. That's to uphold those principals that have made this country great!
Don't fall asleep as we have for a time or there will be more troubles as time goes by....

"Separation of Church and State"
I rest my case.
The founding fathers if anything were more Atheist than Christian, so when Christians try to convert the country on the pretense that they are returning it to the it was when established, just strikes a nerve and makes we want to do a Christian a favor and send him off to meet God.
Actually hey I'd like to offer up a free service for all Christians. Its a sin to kill yourself, but its not a sin to be killed, so go to confession get your slate wiped clean and then come to me and I'll put a bullet through your head and then you can live out the rest of eternity in Heaven playing pool with God. I mean after all isn't life here on earth like a waiting room for heaven, so why wait?
Separation of church and state also means that if a person commits a crime the sentencing must be done not from a religious point of view, but a moral and just perspective that does not recognize the laws of religion.
Human beings all need faith in something, but there is a difference between having faith that your life as a teacher will better the lives of your students and having faith that wiping out an entire race of people because they have different beliefs than you because it is the word of God is a good thing.
Good people will always do good things and bad people will always do bad things, but for good people to do bad things requires religion.

It is atheists' tongues, whose, principles, established, secularists, marriage.
You would be well advised to take a remedial English course.
There are many religious texts that predate the Bible. Therefore, why not follow one of those instead?
What about all the violence that goes on in Israel and the Middle East in the name of their God?
You may want to sign up for an American History, World History and comparative religion class at the same time.

I live in a country where homosexual marriage is legal, and I don't have problem with it.
I guess our Godly principles HAVE vanished. Oh well! If the middle east has Godly principles I would rather live with out them.

in case you do get 2, confirm they're an same age so as that they advance up at the same time. yet besides the undeniable fact that, you won't be able to ensure they are going to be perfect acquaintances. Cats have their own idea about who they prefer and why, and it does no longer continuously tournament our expectations. I actual have 2 cats, and that is okay for us. Do evaluate the expenses nonetheless, it isn't lower priced to save cats responsibly and authentic.

Ethics are about self awarness and the awarness of others not laws set by a creator, ethics in some form has been around way before moses came up with the ten commandments, ethics are an ever changing thing too, what was ok way back in the day, may be considered unethical now due to our changing society. They are a pact with one another not a god, I dont kill as it lets me live a life for the most part not fearing being killed by somebody else, they just got attributed to mythical forces at some point.

Traditional English Common Law is probably the most basic ancestor of our legal and governmental institutions. The English Parlimentary system was foundational to our system as well. These principles were based on individual liberty and the right of the people to speak in government. That tradition is Anglo-Saxon and part of the old Germanic tribal customs. You can read this in Roman history that PRE-DATES Christianity.
This is why you need to read history as well as your bible. You sound like a demagogue making irrational pronouncements and asking illogical questions. The fact that we have a set of principles that guide this nation does not necessitate a "who" as your question suggests.
I do not think that you are earning points with God by making him and his followers look completely obnoxious and uneducated.

"Maybe the atheists have gotten smart and are ignoring you"
Labgrrl hit the nail on the head. Maybe everyone is sick of hearing your "these are all signs that jesus is coming back and the world is going to end" theories?? I know I am!
Yes, we want an end to "god's priniciples" because god is an imaginary creature in the minds of psychotic people such as yourself. we are sick of sicko's like yourself using "god's principles" to justify everything EXCEPT the things you do not like. I don't hear anyone complaining about stoning prostitutes or incestuous relationships between two daughters and their father.... all you hear about is the same crap.... homosexuality and abortion. Those are the only two standpoints most of you weirdo's have. It's ironic that many of the men who hold high positions of power in "christian areas" wind up being closeted homosexuals.
Even your own people are having trouble living by your "god's principles." Perhaps it's because they are realizing that there's nothing to it.... but they can't admit that because they have a "reputation" to uphold? The reputation of an "upright christian" that would be shattered if anyone found out about them soliciting sex from men in airport bathrooms.
Did you ever think that many of your cult followers are followers because they are afraid NOT to be? or afraid of what people like you would think of them if they did?
I think there are a lot more atheists in this world than you realize, and your scare tactics about the end of the world are not going to bring them back. Especially since the same "the sky is falling" scare tactics have been used SOOOOOO many times in the past and.... Oh my, we're still here! No end of the world! no rapture! nothing.... just business as usual.
Get your head out of your @$$.... or as someone earlier this afternoon said........ Get your head out of the sand, and open your eyes to the truth that you are being mislead.
