A significant percent of people are atheists -- this constitutes a large number if you look around the world. They all survived well without god in their beliefs or their constitution. Also, if you are implying "your" god is the savior, look around the world - everyone has a god and "their" god is the good dude. There are tens of millions of happy "godless" people in China, Russia, etc.

"move to another country"- is that the last refuge for every argument? In that case, suggest you move to a country where no other religion is supported but yours.

I think the scariest weirdest thing is how Caribou Barbie thinks she can tell Americans what 'God's" plans are , talks about "God" like she's an expert, tries to push him down our throats ...but then just ignores that she, her husband, her daughter, and her boyfriend ALL had sex outside of marriage........ will she next tell us it was "God's" plan ????

Will she excuse ALL her behaviour as "God's" plan???


All the very ugly "christian" insults and lies in her speech ...were they part of "God's " plan?

It's scary that she thinks "God" is a taxpaying constituent....he is NOT!

And she should keep his opinion out of it!

You're the one who said that Russia/China is happy....

SURE IT IS!

United States is one of the top places to live AND it always has been since well before we gain our independence.

You're not the only person who finds Palin's comments about "God's will" to be disturbing. These comments will not play well outside of the Neo-Con circle...

I said the people who do not believe in god can be happy - not all Russians and Chinese. I gave this example as these countries have a higher percent of people who do not share your view. I for one am very happy here since constitution rules!! You may consider moving since you do not like the way things are headed

Should we have them all stop saying this?
