Uh-huh. Well, since several US states have legalized gay marraige recently, which I am all for, you should have some comfort in that. And as far as I know, abortion is still legal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: 12 Different Atheist Motivational Posters
I DO! but i'm never going to take my right of separation of church & state for granted. There's too many extremists in this world who'd love to take it away from me. I'm not gonna pretend those ppl aren't out there and "ignore" religion.

I applaud you. It's better to stand for something than fall for anything as they say. I honestly hope that our country stays diverse, and free from large government. It is what has made us great. ( Earlier, I was talking about "serial breeders" not people who have fallen on hard times. There's a huge difference. ) |

Re: 12 Different Atheist Motivational Posters
The separation of church and state is actually a Baptist innovation (read up on the 17th century English Baptists), designed to protect Baptists and other nonconformist evangelical Christians, who could not in good conscience, for doctrinal reasons, belong to the state church (the Church of England), from persecution by the state. They, in Britain and in America, have been this principle's greatest champions -- even if this fact may seem paradoxical to some historically ignorant atheists (for instance, those who believe that the typical conservative Baptist/evangelical desires to see an American 'theocracy' or some such). The full separation of church and state is an article in the confession of faith of my very conservative, old-school Baptist church -- if you do not believe in it, you are not welcome to join. Personally, I would trust Baptists and other evangelicals with my freedom of religion before I would trust atheists with it any day of the week. The latter group does not have a very impressive record at all on this point. Historically, when atheists take power, religious freedom is compromised if not abrogated. The state invariably encroaches on the rights and freedoms of the church... which is a tacit rejection of the principle of the separation of church and state. |
