Ok. Since I'm entitled to my opinion, and you are entitled to yours, and we are both free to act based upon our own opinions, I'm simply going to announce that I wouldn't use violence or force against you to force you to conform to my opinion, as a form of respect. Do you grant me the same respect?

Of course you're entitled to your own opinion. It's just that I don't think that your ideal anarchist world is very realistic.

So... If I don't want to assist a war overseas, I have the right to not pay for it. Right?

Of course. But then I'd never force anyone to conform with my beliefs. As long as no-one tries to force their beliefs onto me I've very much a live and let live kind of person.

God's greatest enemy is religion.
I assume you are aware that it would be wrong for either of us to inflict violence on one another to force someone else into our opinion. So... Again...

If you don't want to pay taxes, go ahead. Send us a postcard from prison, will you?

Do I have that right which we both agreed upon, without violence being inflicted upon me, yes or no?

Atheists for the most part seem to be insecure, combative, and tend to be pretentious and begin arguments under the pretense of " I am smarter than these Christians, all Christians are stupid and brainwashed, they don't deserve my respect."
Atheists are just generally looking for a group to pick on and a way to vent their insecurities. A more false, arrogant, presumptuous, pompous lot of people I have never encountered.

The U.S. will always be under God, it's just American!
Anything else is just communism.
I feel like I'm watching an episode of All in the Family when I read this part.

The doctrines of this country were made by people who believed in GOD
They were also made by people who believed that slavery was okay too. So, is slavery still okay?
maxen2004 is simply stating the reality. Communist Atheists will just have to suck it up on this one.

Religiously speaking all atheists are Satanists. If you do not believe in the Biblical God etc, you are considered a Satanist to that religion and that is it. No arguing, no ifs and buts, it just is and there is nothing anyone can do about it unless they go and change the Bible themselves or something.
