		<description>I am a Christian who believes that Jesus is Lord and Savior and that people can be reborn through faith in Him.  I believe that fully and have my reasons.  That being said, I don't think America is a Christian country and "Christian" should by no means be the default.  I don't understand why more people don't just speak plainly about what they believe, or at least more clearly express their agnosticism.  In short, I'm tired of American pharisaic hypocrisy and I respect the consistancy and straightforwardness of many of your points of view and the trajectory of this debate.</description>

		<description>Mr. King brings up some useful points that I think are widely shared by people who can actually put English sentences together. One is of course the “no morality without my deity” business that we have all heard a zillion times. It is so familiar that I won’t bother to address it, although it reinforces my main argument.

Another of his points is that, since we have no superstitious fears of punishment, we have no legitimate complaint about prayers/pledges in school, etc. A Jew might fear the awful wrath of Yahweh if he sat through a prayer to a false god like Jesus; we can only complain of being bored for a few minutes.

This is why I would like to – while never denying my lack of belief in their superstition – affirm my belief in the things they are assaulting, most specifically in democracy. Their actions are an assault on my most basic beliefs. They try to teach our children that America is a theocracy, not a democracy.

The debate in this country is very backwards. Firstly, we are defending democracy. Secondly, why don’t these people share our belief in democracy?</description>

		<description>Yo ... Jordan.  Get a spell checker man! It would also be good to invest in some remedial English as your semantical (look it up ... it will be good for you) juxtoposition is truly outta whack!

Now for your premise: If we don't believe in it why bother it.  Hmmmm, that's what they told the Jews in Nazi Germany.  If we don't confront the day to day intrusion in our lives we will soon have a religious tyranny (some say we do now) running our country.  They'll come first for the unbelievers ... then they'll finally come for the folks whose religion is not like THEIR's. Being atheist just means there are less of us.  But when we are gone, whose left? You. Then you're screwed if you are the only minority left.  Check out the history of the Jewish pogroms ... its enlightening what the "majority" does to the "minority".</description>

		<description>Its like this, people say Barry Bonds suck and he's a bad baseball player and they wouldn't waste their time seein' this guy on TV, but they will bitch and complain about him all the time. That is what I say about Ateist to religion, you don't believe it but you'll let it bother you. You make a ant(Relgion) look like godzilla at the end of the day. If you don't believe it, why bother it.</description>
