Those two young punks running Breitbart website need to take about 15 years off to grow up....

Nobody hates "god"..How do you hate something that you don't believe exists? I guess I hate leprechauns and the tooth fairy. I hate people, real, live, visible, audible (unlike the xian god) people who act as if they and the god they believe in should receive special preference from our secular government.

I don't know why people who claim to not be religious can't seem to understand this.

I don't really see where this is "stirring a lot of heat". LOL

All these breathless "outraged" pieces are simply aimed at and preaching to their already converted RWNJ audiences.

Nobody else cares. Deal with it.

God will be the only thing left after you sit at an empty table where you used to espouse you deserve 40% of all things on the table.

God won't be there for you then either.

Somebody helped you along the way. You didn't earn all of that all by yourself.

Well, apparently you missed the point. You might have earned 100% of what you worked for but you certainly couldn't be taxed at 100% along with all of your fellow citizens and pay for what you obligated yourselves to.

God won't be coming out to help you or turn your water into wine or to pay for any of those obligations, you're on your own Jack.

Well, that would be NOT mentioning ANY religion, faith, or "god".


The President should address all AMERICANS, NOT thier faith..

Only those who want him as spiritual leader need him to mention their faith.
Hebus.....you sure do a lot of assuming. As well as injecting your own invectives into other peoles posting.

Hebus....
