    Yes there are - but sane ways don't stop wars.

        True, but it's the Christian thing to do. You won't catch any of the atheist left doing this.
        Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

          For their sake I hope the war doesnt get held up on their behalf, cause then they would be obstructing the war effort (bad thing) and therefore treasonous. And then they wouldnt be able to return to the country (not a bad thing) or risk being arrested and put on trial for a life sentence at least, death penalty at most.

          However, im quite sure the vast majority dont have the guts to stay once the bombs start falling. And will quickly end their protest as they see the AA turrets adjacent to them being blown away and little body parts rainging down upon them. Quite traumatizing in fact, should scar a good deal of 'em for life.

            The anti-Vietnam War protests seemed pretty effective. Then people like Jane Fonda are just ass-holes. I can see an arguement for calling a hipi a patriot when they take to the streets for peaceful protest, that arguement is not possible for one of these people.

              Actually, if the war does get held up, then they can't be traitors since there's no war.

              It's not against the law to obstruct the war effort.

                  Everybody wins in this situation. The Iraqis get a one-way ticket to the Hauge. The peaceniks get to die for their cause. And we get to have all those cool missile on target movies.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                    Why do people assume atheists are leftists? Sometimes the only rational secular thing to do is kick a$$...

                      Held up temporarily, of course

                      Correct, there is no law that directly states this as illegal (that I know of), however arguements can be made that by obstructing the war effort, they were aiding the enemy in a time of war, and therefore they could easily be charged with treason

                        The last I heard of this, Iraq wasn't letting them wander around the country for fear of them being spies.

                          In this case, "atheist" was an adjective modifying the word, "left." In other words, those leftists who are also atheists would not allow themselves to be used as human shields for this regime against George Bush.

                          I am aware that there are atheists of all political persuations, but I figured that most people here could follow the English grammar.

                            The anti Vietnam demonstrations took years to be effective.

                            I suspect the real reason conservatives are foaming at the mouth at these protests is because they stand a good chance of being effective, if not by stopping the war then by making those who support the war look like a bunch of callous warmongers.

                                I am an athiest, and see myself as a centrist. I have a good friend who is athiest and is far, far left, and most of the other people I know who are athiest, Im probably the most right outa all of 'em all.
