This article descended into bullshit in the first two paragraphs. I stopped reading when the author started promoting religion as some sort of panacea. Belief in a god is the problem, not the solution in this country.
What I find hysterically funny and ironic is that most atheists act more like "Christians", in terms of social behavior, kindness, generosity, etc, than most Christians do. It's the whole "I believe in a god, so I'm automatically a better person than you" thing again, done in passive/aggressive. With "rapture and I go to a good place after death and YOU don't" thrown in.
And they're absolutely determined to write it into write it into the law of the land.
@TwiHusband I believe many Christian’s behave more like the Pharisees and Sadducees than Christian’s.
@gregscloud1 Well, yeah. Most Christians today focus on the Old Testament, and its jealous, murderous, controlling, abusive god, rather than the New Testament and its doting grandfatherly god.....who let his son die, but that's another kettle of fish.
@TwiHusband if Jesus came back today “ 'Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church. The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet” Todd Agnew song.
@TwiHusband Funny how when someone chooses to be good and kind without threats from an angry god, it is more sincere than people who are only good when they think someone is watching and will punish them.
