Atheists offended by teddy bears...

[Japher]

Stop attacking the queers! Being gay is not a choice, yet being the anti-christ is!

Technically, them crosses and stuff could be considered littering... What if I want to put an old couch or refridgerator there as a sign of my morning?

I think I will do that!

Hey Chegitz -- for some strange reason, I get the perception that I upset you somewhat.



First off -- I never advocated burning crosses in my JOKE, KKK style.

Secondly -- using anti-gay slurs to counter-troll my trolls is not within the art of trolling -- it's just pathetic.

Thirdly -- next time you call me a conservative, I'm going to call you a capitalist.

And finally, NEVER, NEVER put me in with people of the likes of Jerry Falwell.

I do not have problems with atheists -- I have problems with any group of people who have blatant disrespect for the freedom and dignity of other people.

Let's see, here's the reasoning on this thread.

"Oh, we should be allowed to break the law because we're Christians and we're sad."

Here is a copy of the Constitution of the United States. Perhaps you'd like to read it sometime.

Too bad, so sad, it doesn't say if Christians are really sad, the government can ignore the 1st Amendment.

I read that Che and I didn't see anything about leaving teddy bears and crosses along the road. Is it perhaps under "capital crimes" or what??

[chequita guevara]

It's under the 1st Amendement, the part about not being able to establish religions, which means no religious displays can be put up on public property.

Crosses have been specifically forbidden by every court ruling for the past 30+ years.

Congratualations, Mr. Falwell, you've crossed the line to conservativism.

Wrong. Atheists like me are actually most atheists. OF COURSE he is going to have a problem with atheists who try to impose their atheism on others. I only have a problem with religious people who try to impose their religion on others. His view is moderate and rational.

That means the STATE cannot establish a religion. Doesn't mean a memorial to a person that happens to have a religious symbol on it is illegal.

By the way, chegitz, do you think we should demolish all of those cross-shaped tombstones at the Arlington National Cemetary? And the Star-of-David ones too? You know, the cemetary where American soldiers (and some presidents) are buried?

You have a huge problem then at Arlington National Cemetary and a few hundred other public cemetaries. Of course a 'concerned' atheist is suing Las Cruces New Mexico for crossing the forbidden line so what the heck, maybe even San (Saint) Francisco will be declared illegal. Stranger things have happened...

I've already made this point, thank you very much.

So individual citizens cannot express their religion?

What do you say to a teenager in a public high school who is wearing a WWJD t-shirt? Are you going to tear the shirt off of him because it violates our constitution?

Oops, I didn't read skywalker's post above mine. Anyway, yeah, what he said...

Any student that blatantly violates the seperation of church and state by even thinking about wearing a T-shirt like that needs to be crucified in the public square. Oh wait, we wouldn't be allowed to put a cross there. Okay, never mind...

[MrFun]

Oops -- better not talk about any community events organized by your church/synogue/mosque at work -- because then you're violating the constitutional law.


This is hilarious sh*t.

But if it's a Catholic school, can the expell you if they think you're gay because you're tearing off some guy's shirt?
