Would you vote for a gay or atheist president?

[Cashcow]

Of course / Of course.

[Cashcow]

I suppose the idea just bothers them. Face it: most people in the country hate gays and don't understand atheists.

[Cashcow]

Why isn't that?

[Cashcow]

Yeah, are you kidding? Of course gays do that often enough for it to prevent them from holding office!

And atheists would ban religion, just like Christian presidents ban Judaism and JFK banned everything but Catholicism, right?

Bushforever is a really rational guy, folks - kind of like Bush himself.

Atheists are trying to ban religion already.  Take a law class.  No student-led prayers at football games.  An attempt to remove it from the pledge.  Attempts to disallow prayers at public places.  No prayers or pastors at graduation ceremonies.  No nativity scenes.  The whole politically correct aura of "Happy Holidays."

Yeah, that's totally bringing you down, and all atheists are doing it.

Yes it is, and yes they are.

Don't you have anything better to fight for, like the cause for killing Arabs? If you think all atheists are going out of their way to stop you from enjoying religious freedom, you're as much an asinine elitist as opebo.

There is nothing patriotic about generalizations.

[Cashcow]

You're right, but there's also nothing patriotic about religion, no matter how you twist it.

You are steryotyping all athiests. Most athiests just want to live their lives away from religion, but they respect the right of others to pray and sing Christmas carols. At public school, there should be no public prayers. Don't favor certain religions. It's common sense, IMHO.

Yes, but student-led prayers at football games where most everyone agrees and prays.  And what about my right to pray individually or quote the bible at school.  Or not teaching evolution.  If you get an atheist president, you will get all these complaining atheist special interests groups trying to have the president inflict their views on the country.

I don't have a problem with you sitting at your desk praying. Just it shouldn't be lead by anyone. If you and some friends want to pray in a corner during lunch, be my guest. If we have a Christian President, wouldn't we have Christian special interest groups trying to inflict their views?

What is so bad about science?

Not all science is true.

And if I want to preach to the crowd and lead a prayer, I should be able to.  And it does not matter about religious special interest groups trying to inflict their views, because religion is a part of our country not atheism.  I have no problem with Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus...whatever.  If any of those people want to lead prayers, go right ahead.  I don't have to follow, and neither do they if it's a Christian prayer.  It's important to be acceptful and tolerant and try to relate to the words of spirit they have to offer.  It's just atheists I have issues with.

Not all science is true, but learning commonly accepted scientific theory cannot harm you in any way.

Lead your prayer in church, or somewhere that isn't school ground.

You say it's important to be acceptful and tolerant, yet you hate gays and atheists?

It also doesn't hurt to believe in God.

This is America.  I can lead prayer wherever I want. 

It's important to be acceptful and tolerant of OTHER RELIGIONS.

Except belief systems you don't like, right?

[Cashcow]

By the way, our nation was also founded by people from the thirteen colonies! I live in New Jersey. Therefore, I declare myself 50% more patriotic than you are!

Proud to be from New Jersey!

[Cashcow]

Are atheists the new black?

No because being black is not a choice.  You should respect people of all colors, because that's what they were born with. 

Atheism and homosexuality are learned actions, and reveal the true morale of a person.

How does one learn to be atheist or gay?
If you're really atheist or gay, you don't have much of a choice. You can't force yourself to be someone that you're not.

Hey JFRAUDSTUPIDLOSERLOL, you're not a Republican! Republicans understand that this is just the way it is. Even though they have no actual reason to believe that homosexuality is a choice, it justifies their hatred. So I guess we're just ignorant.

[Cashcow]

I personally can't see homosexuality being desirable; I'm straight, and despite my repeated fumbles in the dating/relationship arena, I'm planning on staying straight.  It wasn't a choice for me, it's just always been that way.  And no, I don't think I'd want a homosexual lifestyle for anyone, nor do I think that's politically incorrect to say.  If someday I have a gay child, I don't care so much about what he or she does in the bedroom, but it bothers me how he'll be treated by society. 

And that's exactly it. Why would anyone wake up in the morning and say to themselves, "Today I think I want to go against my natural impulses, ruin my chance for a normal life, and be treated like a dog by society"? Let's think about it, people: would you be able to wake up tomorrow and decide to be gay? It's impossible, because all natural heterosexuals would find such an idea to be personally disgusting.

Homosexuality has never been and never will be a choice.
