Then how come nobody remembered to stick "under God" into the pledge for 178 years? Didn't that annoy him?
And if he's so happy with your adulation now, how come you're always complaining that everything's gone downhill since Ike was president?
Pardon me, but what country are you referring to?
I live in the United States of America. Our founding document makes sure we have the right to worship or believe as we choose (or even not to believe, if that is what we, umm, believe). Perhaps you should visit someday.
If you don't like gay marriage, equal rights to woman and non-christians, end of slavery, and the end of unnecessary death penalties you can go back to the desert where you came from.
"IM going to put my point of view in this ok THIS NATION WAS MADE UNDER GOD as the Pledge of Alegence says so if u dont like it KEEP IT TO UR SELF and if u really dont like it that much just go to a different country"
The Pledge says nothing of the creation of this nation. Don't you look silly now.
IM going to put my point of view in this ok THIS NATION WAS MADE UNDER GOD as the Pledge of Alegence says so
Really now? I was under the impression that the United States was formed in 1789, but apparently I was wrong, it was 1954
if u dont like it KEEP IT TO UR SELF and if u really dont like it that much just go to a different country
No! I will not. The United States was created with freedom of speech and I will voice my opinion on any topic I goddamn well please. If you don't like that, well that's just too fucking bad. I, as a citizen of the U.S. am under no obligation to respect or honor your god, the pledge of alligence, or, ignorant fundie fucktards who are to damn lazy to spell the words "you" or "your" .
Mate in three words.
Treaty of Tripoli.
Checkmate. I win.
Under god was not added to pledge until 1954.
Moron.
if u dont like it KEEP IT TO UR SELF and if u really dont like it that much just go to a different country
Actually, I do have a right to voice my opion and if you don't like it then don't say anything stupid.
so if u dont like it KEEP IT TO UR SELF
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech , or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Oh dear. It seems as if the framers of the Constitution anticipated the typical fundie reaction to criticism. Don't like it? Then "just go to a different country".
@Rat of Steel: Love the graphic!
@Malkavian Jeff: Don't punish the good people of Arizona, New Mexico, and eastern California like that!
And Blake, I like this country just fine. We're all allowed to speak here, not just you. Deal with it.
"IM"
(I like to type in random bursts of capitals and don't know where the apostrophe key is on my keyboard)
"going to put my point of view in this ok"
(Scratch that, none of the punctuation keys on my keyboard even work, but don't worry, "Caps Lock" still hasn't rusted off)
"THIS NATION WAS MADE UNDER GOD"
(Meaning "I'm going to assume that my country is exactly the same now as it was 200 years ago")
"as the Pledge of Alegence says so if u dont like it"
(I'll mention something really big and important, spelling its name wrong in the process and still not using any punctuation whatsoever)
"KEEP IT TO UR SELF"
(I don't much care for free speech)
"and if u really dont like it that much just go to a different country"
(Look at how open minded I am!)
Sorry, buckwheat, but the UNDER GOD part was added in 1954 as a way to smoke out those dirty commie spies, as they were all atheists and would NEVER say UNDER GOD and blow their cover.
Learn before you sit at a keyboard, ok?
"if u dont like it KEEP IT TO UR SELF and if u really dont like it that much just go to a different country"
Make me.
Oh, that's right, you can't!
Gonna cry now? Gonna cry, little Fundie?
Sorry, Malkavian Jeff.
In response to: "If you don't like gay marriage, equal rights to woman and non-christians, end of slavery, and the end of unnecessary death penalties you can go back to the desert where you came from."
Lots of deserts out in the American West. Thought I was being clever, turns out I'm just tired and bitchy.
I was born an atheist in this country by absolutely no choice of my own.
If you don't want me here, you'll have to pay to export me and my family, and pay for emotional distress.
And we are a secular nation because our founders knew some people would come here with different religions, and that wasn't a good reason to turn them away or tell them "Be born in a different country, we're all Christians"
And you can't force me to believe in Christianity just because I was born here either.
You are truly a moron.
From the Founding fathers:
He who says "The United States is a Christian nation founded upon Christian principles and beliefs" is woefully ignorant of history.
The United States was founded by Deists, and the puritan settlers were but one immigrant group among many.
Now ponder these, because these are closer to the truth than a collection of babylonian fairy tales pieced together by a bunch of illiterate goat-herders:
The first clergyman was the first rascal who met the first fool.
Prisons are built with stones of law, Brothels with bricks of religion.
The sharpest tools in Satans' shed are ignorance, stupidity and misguided faith.
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of...
November 4, 1796.
The definition of Faith is not wanting to know the truth.
[THIS NATION WAS MADE UNDER GOD as the Pledge of Alegence says...]
The pledge of allegiance says nothing about the formation of the US. The phrase "under God" wasn't added to the pledge until the 1950's.
The Treaty of Tripoli explicitly states the US "is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion".
Care to comment?
[...so if u dont like it KEEP IT TO UR SELF...]
No.
[...and if u really dont like it that much just go to a different country]
No. Fuck you.
"I pledge impertinence to the flag-waving unindicted co-conspirators of America, and to the Republicans for which I can't stand; abomination, underhanded fraud, indefensible, with liberty and justice forget it." - Matt Groening, Life in Hell
Not when I learned the pledge...
When they put in god and we had to learn the new version, I knew that religion and patriotism shouldn't mix. I was eleven. I consider that to be the start of my long life of atheism, and have never seen any reason to change my mind.
“IM going to put my point of view in this ok”
No. Not okay. You thumpers have no idea what history is or how government works.
"THIS NATION WAS MADE UNDER GOD as the Pledge of Alegence says”
Good example. It wasn’t.
And even if it were, SCOTUS says that ‘under god’ doesn’t mean what you think it does.
" so if u dont like it”
Lies/ No, we don’t like lies.
“KEEP IT TO UR SELF”
1st Amendment says i don’t gotta, just like you don’t gotta.
“and if u really dont like it that much just go to a different country”
You could go someplace, too.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
