This just in... COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY: In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized day(s). The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel and declared, 'Case dismissed.' The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said: "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah. Yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays”; The judge leaned forward in his chair and said, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant" The lawyer said, "Your Honour, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists." The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is 'April Fools Day' Psalm 14:1 states "'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.’ Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned" Everyday is a holiday when you open your eyes and let your mind think for itself. Free thought is liberation! |

You can love someone and not trust them. I love my family and friends, but that doesn't mean I trust them. Maybe I just trust myself though.

Atheism didn't start anywhere. All children are born atheists. It takes HEAVY indoctrination to teach them otherwise. yes I read that when a baby is born he or she is a atheist and later through upbringing may be practicing a religion or belief system. Perhaps the better question would be who made atheism more popular? More popular than what? Around 79% of americans consider themselves christians. Worldwide estimates say: 1.Christianity: 2.1 billion 2.Islam: 1.5 billion 3.Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion Since those are all lumped together in #3 it's likely the number is very small. |

I didn't mention that Americans are going door to door grabbing Atheists and throwing them in jails. I just mentioned that it is one country that still has laws against those who don't believe in a God. I know the grounding fathers of this country wouldn't have enjoyed these later laws put into the books, but they are there and should be taken out of context. Now other countries especially the Muslim countries have stronger laws against infidels as they call them. Go to Syria and say you are a atheist. You will have many people upset with you in a heartbeat. Singapore did have laws that are strong against atheism for they had many riots. I know they have strong laws against Jehovah Witness members also and set some laws in. Singapore is a successful Asian country, but do have some of the strictest laws in the world. It seems to keep order though. Throw a piece of gum on the street and see what happens. lol Well the fact that an American couldn't apply for a government job if he indicates he is a Atheist in 7 of those states that I mentioned is discrimination. I guess a Buddhist will have a hard time working for the government if he chooses to. And although many laws that are not practiced anymore can still be used as a defense from the government if choosed to be. I think that is wrong. and the fact that if one who works for the government that one must swear oath to god is something that should be worked on also. Perhaps one can just say I swear to the best of my knowledge. I quoted Bush because it amazes me that so many Americans voted for him at the time. Not once, but twice! I also believed his cabinet helped trigger much of the recession we have today as the money spent could have been more effectively used such as erradicating probably half of the laws in the books, fighting illegal immigration, restoring the budget, and creating new jobs. I know your position on what you believe in Jeannie concerning religion and spirituality. I never contradicted your belief system. In the long run what I am saying is anything that is written in a law book (even if not used) shouldn't be taken lightly. In this country being anything other than a christian could disqualify you from a government position if it were known. It's discrimination, but people denied jobs can't prove it. I agree they can pick and choose laws. It's just like those that pick and choose bible verses to go by. |

Oh no I am not stirring anything up. I am just interested on Atheism. My original question was where did it start? Who invented it? Was it scientists or historians. Was it there all along? Then the website led to discrimination of Atheists, which led me to find some unusual laws that shouldn't be in the books. It is dissappointing that the Government worries about fundraising, lobbyists earnings, and deciding if a watermelon should be declared as a states vegetable. They should clean up the law books. Erase anything that shouldn't be in there. That would be one way to spend our hard earned tax money. I believe as long as those laws are still in the books the government can decide if they want to use them or not on a unlucky individual. We as the people shouldn't allow it. Atheism didn't start anywhere. All children are born atheists. It takes HEAVY indoctrination to teach them otherwise. |

Why I am a Socialist

I am not a socialist but I wouldnt mind seeing a viable party started if only to keep the capitialists honest. Capitalism and free market are not our enemy. There are but very few corporations with the power to influence us. These corporations are global corporations so our country is not to blame either. The best way to keep our corporate threats honest is to allow a free market to prosper. They keep competition at bay by using regulations (like the FDA). You and i both respect Dr. Ron Paul. That is his advice to us. Socialism is a system that has proven to not work. When you start introducing socialism in a capitalist environment you will find that the government will be lining the pockets of these individuals that "take care of us" because we cannot afford to take care of ourselves. This is dangerous combination. This was the problem i had with a national health care system. Basically, there are a few select corporate giants that pretty much run our government. How on earth would it be wise to even more power over us? If you allow other businesses to prosper and compete with the "big wigs" making our lives unaffordable, than you are unconsolidating power. As you know, the first step of corruption is consolidation of power... Deconsolidate power, cut back on corruption. Just a thought... What system has been proven to work? So far, but that was unexpected. |

I would be flattered. It would probably be uncomfortable if the person continued to pursue me after I told them I wasn't interested. The same goes for the opposite sex though.
