Anyone Suffer From 'AAD'--Aggressive Atheist Disorder?

I am more in tune with the idea of Tao. But live and let live is fine by me. I think religion has a place because it gives people hope and a sense of security. Sometimes I think it best to just let things be.

 

Lol, thats a cool picture. I just got done reading a couple H.P. Lovecraft stories. IA! IA! Cthulhu Ftagn! lol

 

I havn't really had any trouble with atheists. I've had Jehova's witnesses come knocking on the door before. They're pretty annoying. Mormon's came knocking once. They were actually pretty cool. I had a good conversation exchanging ideas about religion and spirituality with them. My stepmother keeps trying to get me to go to her church. I try to explain to her that I'm very spiritual with very strong beliefs, but I'm not christian. She might be coming around, but she's not very accepting of it.

 

This N.J. school senior Samantha Jones said, "I want the right to keep saying "One nation under God" because I believe that Americans have God-given rights, not state-given rights."

The poor thing doesn't even know that it was the STATE that added "Under God" and "In God We Trust" to the currency and the pledge in the 1950's. And it had nothing to do with putting God in public school. Those words were added in an effort to combat the rise of communism at the time...

 

Long story short, if you're a Christian and want to worship or acknowledge God in school? Great, more power to you. And you can do that all you want in a PRIVATE Christian school...

 

Jehova's Witness are the religious equivalent of those people that call you every day asking about your vehicle's extended warranty...

 

Experiences differ. The first time I refused to go to church as a kid my father punched me in the face. Christians have a long history of getting into the faces (killing and torturing) of people who don't believe their fairy tales. The tone of your post is "in your face" tone.

If you can prove that a magic invisible man in the sky exists, you can tell people about it in a science class. Otherwise keep you superstitions out of our schools and court system. To many of us, your superstitions and claims are offensive. Perhaps you can read my first sentence and see why I may find hearing unsupported religious claims offensive. Many Christians have committed child abuse, both physical and brain washing to push a fairy tale based religion. Religion often does tremendous harm and damage. For example if you read your Bible you will see endorsement of genocide, slavery, and 2nd class treatment of women.

Prove your claims. Stop attacking science as if that proves your claims. Stop attacking non-believers as if that proves your claims. Provide your proof for your assertions.

 

Next time they call, ask them why God hates starving people in Africa, etc.

 

Posts like the OP always remind me of this:

You did it......you started a thread that will draw all the God haters with AAD like a moth to the flame. They're here at Political Forum just waiting to pounce. I have witnessed far more postings on threads having to do with faith by the mockers than believers!

 

Yes the atheist's with their satanic beliefs are coming to get you, they are probably sending demons down the internet as we speak to possess you! They are working hard in their university's to make your grandkids smell of death and join Satan and Dawkins in the fiery pits of hell, where they will burn for all eternity!

All hail to Satan!

 

Save for a few exceptions, I doubt children give it much thought at all.

 

Nah.....they just don't believe in anything bigger than themselves so they must attack.

 

I am an atheist, ex Christian, and have no issues whatsoever with god being in the pledge. You have to understand that liberals don’t just hate god. They fundamentally hate America, the idea of America and actually they hate people in general. This is why they have no issues with taking or destroying property, or ostracising people they disagree with.
There’s even a word for it. Misanthropy.
They are also nihilists. They seek to destroy the good for the sake of destruction, and because it is good.
the pledge of allegiance isn’t to God. It is to America. This is what upsets them. Because allegiance to freedom, and independence are hateful to them. Any slogan that counters hedonism and their disdain for human happiness is upsetting.

 

The extreme hypocrisy of the Christian persecution the complex always fascinated me.

 

For those of us who are not American, could you explain what the point and significance of the Pledge of Allegiance is? At the end of the day, there are Americans who do not believe that the American flag/republic/etc. is under God. If they can't truthfully recite it, what's the point of the pledge to begin with?

 

Government is secular. Where have you been? All religions don't have equal treatment because if you say anything against a Muslim you are a racist homophobe. Say anything against a Christian or Jew you are a good person with a gracious heart. Look what you just did. You did this. If the god was Allah, atheists would have no problem and support it. Mostly out of fear of having their heads cut off. Right?

 

Their creator is where we receive our American rights from, not the government. The rights we have in the Constitution are to protect us from tyrannical government control like the Democrats are attempting to do. Democrats include, leftists, liberal, communists, socialists, BLM, Antifa...If someone thinks they get their rights from the state, then in their pledge they can substitute "State" into it. They lose their free will of course.

 

I have never had an atheist get in my face. I have had religious nuts get in my face many times.

 

So is the call by the ADL for Tucker Carson to be fired for antisemitism a figment of right wing imagination?

 

If you make the pledge to the flag, what is it you are making a pledge to if not the state?

 

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nations, UNDER GOD, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all." I follow the country as long as it is inspired of God as the Constitution was inspired of God. The Democrats are not inspired of God any more.

 

So the pledge is made to the republic which is the state is it not?

Republic,

a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

Now do you believe making a pledge to the state is giving up your free will as you have stated?

 

Of course they are. It's impossible not to be inspired by god. They just call god something else. Science maybe. Or beauty. Or love. God is all there is. what else is there to be inspired by?

 

Some aren't. The State has become their God and Socialism their religion. It's nothing new, actually.

There all sorts of things people can be inspired by besides God. For example, the atheistic Leftist lunatics in revolutionary France closed down the churches, executed priests and created a kook religion of their own:

Cult of Reason

Dechristianization of France during the French Revolution

The Anarchists in Spain during the Civil War were just as bad, if not worse:

Red Terror in Spain
The Red Terror in Spain during the Spanish Civil War involved massive desecration of churches, synagogues and other sacred objects and places by leftists. On the night of July 19, 1936 alone, 50 churches were burned.[11] In Barcelona, out of the 58 churches, only the Cathedral was spared, and similar events occurred almost everywhere in Republican Spain.[12] All the Catholic churches in the Republican zone were closed, but the attacks were not limited to Catholic churches, as synagogues were also pillaged and closed, but some small Protestant churches were spared....

The desecration of churches in Anarchist-controlled Barcelona was nothing compared to some of the seriously dark **** that went down there. For example, the corpses of priests and nuns were exhumed from their graves and put on public display outside the churches that had been desecrated. You can find pictures of that depravity online but I'm not going to assault everyone's sensibilities by posting them. It's the stuff nightmares are made of.
