STOP PUSHING YOUR BELIEFS ON ME!!

I've Had It With Newdow

from JoeUser Forums
Newdow is now trying to stop the prayer for the inaugeration.

I've had it with all these self-rightous Anti-theists.

You know what, you claim that we are pushing our Christian beliefs on you. Here's a little common sense... DON'T LISTEN, AND AVOID THE SITUATION!!

I don't agree with the act of prostitution, so I avoid that type of situation, I don't try to stop it, even though it is something that probably should be discontinued.

So, dear Anit-theist, get over yourself, and stop trying to push you beliefs, or lack thereof, on me!

Just don't say "Under God" when you say the pledge.
Don't listen to the inaugeral prayer, or better yet, don't go.
Don't go to a Christian church.
Don't read the 10 commandments in the courtroom.

YOU CAN AVOID IT, so stop trying to take it away from me!

His wisdom is lost.  Perhaps he can post a comment now based upon the revised blog and his own views.  I would hope so.  He had some great ones.

My original intention wasn't for this to go into terms...but whatever.

It is an entertaining irony. Many atheist activists tell us believers that:

~It shouldn't bother us if our kids are taught things with which we disagree, we have ever opportunity to teach them our oppinions at home...

~"What's the matter, don't you think your beliefs can stand up to open discussion?"

~"What, are you afraid that seeing that in public will make you or your kids want to do it too?"

Well, turnabout being fair play.....

~Atheist activists, if your child is exposed to things with which you disagree, you have every opportunity to teach them your opinions at home.

This is very true. You get an insightful from me. I assume there must be some sort of insecurity in these people that drives them to remove everything that makes them uncomfortable, or that they don't agree with.

If Newdow was heavily questioned I doubt he would be able to come up with much more than "because it's my right." Well, what about MY right?

So true.  And it shows the ways of the anti-theist.  HIS right according to him is the abolition of God in society.  I think it is Bush's decision on whether he says 'so help me God'.  Not some quack that cant even keep his daughter from believing.

I don't understand why someone such as Newdow would want to try to destroy something that has worked perfectly for over 200 years...it doesn't make sense, unless you just say he is selfish.

perhaps it is just my "coming of age" but it seems that the past 20 years have been filled with egotistical people fighting the system.

Andy Warhol.  Their 15 minutes of fame.

Apparently even Andy's 15 minutes have passed. ;~D

Andy Warhol was one of the most influential modern artists of the 60s and 70s. He practically invented the Pop Art genre. His best known works used everyday objects like Campbell Soup and Coke cans as subjects.

I'm so tired of them myself. Enough already with all the distractions.

Thanks Gideon for your very clear explanation.

Really? Do a web search, you'll get lots of info there. But he was an artist and film maker.

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention, he was also known for the quote...

"In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes."

And my former employer bought some of the Cambell soup ones!  So I am very familiar with them as they hung in the corporate offices!

Hence my reply.  Andy Warhol, and the 15 minutes!  Thanks for the exact quote.

Didn't have time at that moment...

I think in about 4 days they will be.

Just to fight them, I think we should start putting God everywhere...then they can have a reason to cry...


God already *is* everywhere. You can't swing a cat in America without some Jesus freak getting fur in his mouth.

I've been threatened too many times because I'm an atheist to take much of anything quietly. I've had my job threatened, my home threatened, my safety threatened. "Love your neighbor" is the biggest joke that Christanity ever told.

Why is it so bad to keep God out of the government? There are churches dotted all across the landscape -- nobody's trying to close them down. You can decorate your home in wall to wall Virgin Mary wallpaper, saint's bones, and pieces of the True Cross if you want. You can pray at McDonald's or the local Whattaburger over your french fries. You can have the entire bible tattooed on your body if you want. You have religious freedom.

So quit your whining. It amazes me how people in the majority can still have such a skewed martyr complex. I guess it comes from the examples you follow.

If you like theocracies so much, I suggest you find one to live in.

p.s. if God really is omnipotent and omnipresent, he's already in the government buildings -- don't you think? surely the all-powerful creator of the universe won't get his feelings hurt if he has to remain in his invisible, still-small-voice form sometimes
