Isn't it about time we said good-bye to silly myths of some omnipotent being in the sky, wasting time on our insignificant little selves? I mean, how mind-blowingly conceited are we to think that IF such a being existed, he/she/it would have any interest in us? Have you SEEN the size of the universe?

How much devotion do you have to a single spec of sand on a beach? Exactly.

Oh no, but god has a plan for every single on of us. Sure.

Here you go:


Largest star ever discovered, compared to our Sun - YouTube

The video doesn't even make it to the largest star...

I just knew the OP was a lie!

What Obama has done is shear blasphemy: For Fourth Straight Year, Obama's Thanksgiving Message Doesn't Thank God
This country was founded by a bunch of hemp-growing deists, not bat-**** evangelists. Sorry to burst the bubble. There are much more important things to talk about.

If you don't know the meaning of blasphemy, it is difficult to take your opinions seriously - just FYI.

Hey bring him, her, or it on over and I will personally shake his, her, or its hand, tentacle, or whatever appendage there is to shake and thank him, her, or it for whatever part him, her, or it had in my life. Until that happens I'll take a pass on your superstition thanks all the same.

There are ways a country's leader can make a speech that would be for all people of all faiths.

And unfortunately, Valerie Jarrett doesn't know how to write such a speech and put it on the 'prompter.
No, YOU agreed with the OP which indicates you NEED the President to say the word "god" as if he was your spiritual leader.

But then you flip flop and say:
"There are ways a country's leader can make a speech that would be for all people of all faiths."

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.

I know, right? What a stupid thing to whine about, but it doesn't surprise me... given that half (or more) of the anti-Obama complaints are stupid & irrelevant in the big picture.
