"Republicans need to stop with the religion thing"

It is the DEMS who are constantly bringing it up.

Yeah, whatever.

You folks duped my ancestors with that stuff. You can miss me with it though.

There a LOT of people and things you DON'T know, yet they STILL exist.

How do you explain THAT?
It’s called science. You may have heard of it.

Let me make an *educated guess* why it's a case.

See, "Constitution" is "a body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is acknowledged to be governed."


https://www.google.com/search?q=cons...hrome&ie=UTF-8

Now the Bible ( and Christianity in particular) doesn't have such "fundamental principles" according to which state can be governed. It leaves a wide range of possible interpretations ( and personal choices.) That's why it simply doesn't make sense to mention "God" in the context of the laws that govern the state.
Which is a big contrast with, say, Islam, where Koran actually does have the instructions how to run the state. That's why Koran ( and direct reference to God) serves as Constitution of Saudi Arabia.

Let me clarify what I meant to say. When I said there is no Christian god, I'm referring to Jesus being god, as this is who Christians believe is god.


Anyone that believes that Jesus is god, has been duped. Read your bible, the Jewish prophesy for their messiah is not Jesus, hence why the Jewish people never accepted him as the messiah.


So you're right, the idea of a god is not just for christians, but the idea that Jesus is god, is BS that people have bought, hook, line and sinker.

[clipped due to length]

If you read it all the way through and had a smile on your face when you finished, mail to your friends and family with the title 'God vs. Science'

PS: The student was Albert Einstein .

Albert Einstein wrote a book titled 'God vs. Science' in 1921.....
Actually -- no it was not Einstein. This tale is what one calls 'fiction.' Twenty year-old chain email and debunked.

"...A young Albert Einstein did not humiliate an atheist professor by using the 'Evil is the absence of God' argument on him...."

Chain Mail: God Vs. Science! ← Rational Thoughts: Unlimited

The US, one nation under God, what a joke! The US is one nation under greed being lead by corporations only concerned about their bottom line. The US is controlled by the money changers.
Perhaps we should now consider the US to be, one nation under Satan.

And the money has nothing to do with god, either. The motto was put on it for the first time in 1864. The original currency of the United States bore the motto "Mind Your Business".

Same goes for Christian Fundamentalists. It's the Fundies who are afraid of those of us who dare to think for ourselves.
