Fourth of July Athiests
Ok, here's the deal. You're an athiest right? You're the only one that really cares. Any time an athiest cries about their rights being infringed, they have no problem trying to infringe the rights of others. For example, lawsuit after lawsuit is brought against god-fearing people from the pledge of allegience to "In God We Trust" on American currency. But you have no problem forcing your views on others, case in point, having planes fly across the sky on Independence Day with athiest slogans for all to see. Why is one a violation of the 'seperation of church and state' but the other is a lawfull expression of free speech? The freedom of expression and religion was never designed for people to enjoy at the expense of another's freedom. Get over yourselves, that right is universal, no matter what your viewpoint. A spade is a spade.

What about Fourth of July agnostics, who reserve the right to not be sure how they feel about all the America trappings? :)
ReplyDeleteAgnostics have a legitimate viewpoint. Does anyone really know what is what when their time is called? No. And that is the point; the freedom of religion is in place precicely because doubt exists. And religion is not an "American" trapping. The same 'traps' are part of human nature anywhere, much the way other things are, like greed, lust, corruption, power; searching for an explanation for the origins of humanity and life are a natural thing and has always happened. Whether it's creation or evolution from a sea squirt under a rock in the ocean.
