Because it's brain washing our children. When schools where you send your child to learn facts have daily prayers and teachers who try and "save" there students . Then for a child it's really hard to differentiate between fact and fiction.
Y'all think it's the truth! So it's better for them to know about Jesus. Those of us that don't buy into that garbage. Think of it as brain washing our kids and pressing your beliefs on them.
You wouldn't send your child to a school that prayed to satan everyday. That's exactly how we feel.

ok, that guy kissing his cross and praying, was for his friends and comrades, not himself.
I'm not sure what's worse, your presumptuousness or the ignorance of your statement. I was there, I know exactly why chicken s__t was praying and it wasnt for the atheist making sure their butt made it home to mommy. The primadonna was worried abut one thing and one thing only. when I can hear them screaming 'Jesus save me' over incoming mortars its not about protecting anyone except for their own sorry ass.
you give some cover fire, what did it take? 4 rounds?
Please don't demean my service with your cognitive disconnect and preponderance of ignorance. You don't have a damned clue what you're talking about where I served or what I've been through. I hope that high horse gives you a chaffing problem.
you are here posting. yes, it's all drama. glad you made it out.
Normally I'd say thanks but with your condescension and facetious rhetoric ill save it.
i don't agree it's a cover for satanism. it's a separate thing.
It's the topic of the thread, not sure how you seperate it but whatever works for you.
but the correlation of pushing God out of the picture is too hard to discount.
Not the topic of the thread at all and nobody is pushing god out of anywhere the concept belongs. Is there a monitor in your home that sends an alert to the appropriate authorities if you're caught praying? Is there a demolition crew at your church waiting to tear it down? Did they close down Jesus camp? Then nobody is trying to deny you access to whatever deity you find comfort in. It's a giant steaming pile of poop this persecution complex Christians have. Stop judging everyone, its not what your book teaches. The vast majority of you are such die hard hypocrites I can only scratch my head and wonder what bible they're actually reading from.

That logic is so, so flawed. Burden of proof is ALWAYS on the accuser. A negative cannot be proven.
Until one religious person can show a single shred of evidence to back their claims, they remain identifiably false.

Well unless it was very WELL reasoned and WELL sourced, I'd imagine that it would be locked pretty quickly with the OP banned for trolling, but I see what you are getting at.
and yet....this thread isn't. I think it is improbable, maybe impossible for believers to understand why atheists don't believe in mythical beings
Yes, like I said, I'm aware of what you are getting at. Christians are so quick to adopt the persecution complex that it is hard to criticize the religion and you have to go about it carefully and well informed. Meanwhile, it is perfectly fine to criticize non-believers while using a poorly formed and ignorant opinion to do so.
maybe it's because the idiots don't have a thing to hang their hats on? just stupidity.
how about that?
christians are under seige, the barbarians at the gate, are not.
when countered they scatter like roaches.
run away!! run away!!
you need to write a book, like a bible. yeah, lol.
should be a fun read.
let it stew for a couple 1000yrs.
Don't even mention it. We were mostly on the same page, anyway and there's nothing wrong with passion in a debate about this stuff. It forces honesty sort of like too much liquor :p

They were also made by people who believed that slavery was okay too. So, is slavery still okay?

A family in New Jersey is suing a school district because they say the words "Under God" violates the state constitution.
This is why I think it's political, so please give me a break.
Thanks
Seems like they would have a point. Separation of church and state. If you want god taught in your school then find a private school that fits your belief
Where in the Constitution does it say, "Separation of church and state?"

The first amendment simply states that government will not establish a state religion.
I haven't seen anyone from government saying to believe one way specifically.
Unless you're talking about the cult of government, that is.

Except when you remove God, you are teaching your atheism to MY kid. Oh, the humanity. See, I don't care about you, either, until you start teaching it to my kids.
Who agreed to make atheism the default?

Since most mainstream religions are actually satanistic rituals in disguise of worshiping God, I wouldn't say so. Although, the extreme atheistic movement probably is. Basically, anyone who wants to support the matrix is conceptually a satanist.

maxen2004 is simply stating the reality. Communist Atheists will just have to suck it up on this one.
