Why don't you go work on your shelter and remember to rotate your stock of bile and hatred
Let's see: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. There's your 100 million murders. All closed churches, all killed clergy. All headed atheist regimes.

Several years later when he started having problems, they declined his bills. Said it was pre-existing. Which it was, but that didn't rule out joining the plan. Only ruled out paying for anything related to his kidney disorder.

At 55, he was out shopping for real insurance.
What was his nameless 'Christian medi-share plan'

I have to give it to you Cheeseman, as a new member you have caught the attention of the Americans who read this forum. However, Pope Francis is calling and he needs to explain a few things to you. After that, I believe your 6th grade civics teacher wants to remind you of some basics of America. Then you may want to review tactics with the web-brigade leader....your outrageous arguments are becoming too obvious.

As an atheist, I applaud Cheesmont and his on going efforts to personally exemplify the type of hypocrisy and toxic personality traits that lead many people away from religion. Keep it up Cheese, you're doin' god's work!

There you go again. Religion isn't a factor in Mississippi's obesity problem. It is ONLY race.

You should have stayed a bit longer...The Catholic girls in my high school would disagree with you...They knew how to have fun.

Yes, America. We separate state from religion. Since there is no official or preferred religion nor is there a state "god" or preferred theistic belief, it is de facto atheist. America does not persecute Christians.

But you are confusing atheism as a belief and anti-religion as a state policy. Hitler and Stalin eliminated any threats to their power. They saw religion, any religion, as a threat. It had nothing to do with belief in a god. They did not act that way because there was a Pope of atheism telling them to.

Contrast that with the Catholic Pope who is telling people in their countries to act in ways that are harmful to their countries, which is exactly why Henry VIII booted out the Catholic church. He was right because it leads to people like you, who have expressed stronger respect and allegiance to your pope than to your own country.
