"In god we trust" – and in ignorance they live:





I started following the story about the nativity scene, and the sign placed next to it by the Freedom From Religion Foundation in the Mississippi State Capitol that Vjack had posted about today over at Atheist Revolution. Then as I was following the links to the story, I started reading some of the comments left by readers at WLBT3 news in Jackson MS. There is absolutely, not anything in which those who carry the Christian mind-virus can say or do, that surprises me anymore; I believe that we all have heard most of their deluded nonsense many times before – but still, I just find the level of willful ignorance in Christians, just astounding.

If they do not like what Mississippians believe or feel toward our God then they should go home. We did not ask them to come here in the first place. My God is awesome!!!!! Lets stop this destruction now and for all.”

Well, just for your information Mskathy, the state of Mississippi receives a lot of my tax dollars, and I don’t want one single penny of it spent in anyway for prompting your delusion – and by the way, you won’t find the word “god,” in any of the founding documents either, and the printing of “in god we trust” on our money, didn’t come about until the mid-1950s.

We allow a group from another state to come in and delare that there is no God and now they have the right to place a sign up in our captial buliding. I wonder is there a sign in thier captial building declaring that there is a GOD. It is time for us to put our principles to work. Do let other speak for you. Silence has gotten us nowhere.”


“Silence has gotten us nowhere.”


Since when have these deluded morons ever been silent about anything which concerns their delusion?

“Technically, the "holiday season" starts with Thanksgiving and lasts until New Year's and encompasses all the celebrations in between. That includes Kwanzaa and Chanukah and any other holiday that may fall in that time period.


The truth is that Christmas is just about as an American holiday as you can think of. The vast majority of us do celebrate it, whether in a religious or non-religious manner. The Nativity is part of the religious side of Christmas. Yes, the Winter Solstice was the original celebration for this time of year. However, for all you Atheists, that is/was a RELIGIOUS celebration.


As for the group calling themselves "Freedom from Religion Foundation," maybe they need to reread the First Amendment to the Constitution. It says freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.


You don't believe in God, fine, that is your right, but do not think for one minute that Atheism is not a religion. It's just a religion without any entity to worship.”


By the way, what are you people afraid of? Do you think that you or your children will be automatically converted to "our way of thinking" if you set eyes on a religious symbol? Are you THAT unsure of your beliefs, or lack thereof?”


Man, realAmerican makes my head hurt – no, realAmerican makes my asshole hurt! The level of willful ignorance, stupidity and delusion is just astounding in these morons. I am really starting to believe that these deluded Christian-morons, must believe that they have some “god” and state given right, to torment all of us nonbelievers with their Christian bullshit – where in the Constitution does it say, that as an atheist, I have no freedom from religion, or is this deluded moron just saying that I only have the freedom of choosing a religion?


One having no belief in god(s) is about as much of a religion, as not being a stamp collector makes someone religious. And I just don’t understand their believing that we fear something about Christianity; and there is absolutely nothing within Christianity, that’s going to change my mind or the minds of my children about the reality of this deluded mind-virus – I have no fear whatsoever of this deluded Christian myth, I only have concerns because of how this mind-rotting virus of delusion, and willful ignorance and stupidity, causes those silly people to act.


These people can believe all of their silly and delude nonsense, until the cows come home, but it still won’t make any of it true – and yes, I do have the right to live my life within reality, and they have the right to be just as uneducated, and ignorant of reality as they choose – just don’t make me support your ignorance and stupidity, with my tax dollars!

These sound like most typical christian comments. They come from the simple ignorance we as Americans seem to like. At one time I also had this we are better then anyone else attitude but then I started to really look at reality. We need a good way to counter the lies of religion or else we are in real trouble.

Personally, I believe that we’re already in big trouble; one only needs to look at what they want to do in Texas with the school books. In replacing people like Jefferson, with a pack of deluded Christians, they are simply trying to give real life to the lie of Christians founding the nation, and as a Christian nation.

I say this so often, but the only ways that we are going to counter their deluded lies, is by improving our education system, and by teaching children how to think for themselves. The problem is that Christian belief, is simply about believing what they are told; and that’s much easier to do, than actual thinking, so by the time most of them, reach the age of reason, they will still believe any old silly thing, that they are told – “faith” in deluded bullshit, really fucks-up, and retards the minds of children – it’s just so sad!
Those WLBT3 sentiments should serve as a wake up call for anyone who thinks that Christmas in America has become a secular holiday in which even non-Christians can participate and who does not appreciate the impact that religion still has on this occasion.

Excellent point about how these comments should serve as a wake-up call. I'm still waiting for that to happen.
And we are the ones who have to make it happen - like maybe next year, Vjack; we should all go for signs at our State Capitols, which state: “god,” jesus” and “in god we trust,” are not in our founding documents?
The problem is that these ignorant preachers, tell these morons things like the US Constitution contains the words like “in god we trust,” hell, I even heard one on the radio saying that “jesus” was in the US Constitution, and anyone who was not a Christian, was also not an American, and should not have rights either – and these folks are so deluded and ignorant, that they won’t even take the time and read the Constitution for themselves – and when you tell them that silly bullshit is not in the Constitution, most will simply call you UN-American – how can we win against such stupidity and ignorance?

If you don’t believe the entire stupid things that they do, then you’re not a “real American.” And you bet we need to wake-up – lest we all wake-up, when we find ourselves being dragged, kicking and screaming back to the fucking dark ages!

It is not only preachers who are ignorant. The former Vice President Geo. H. W. Bush while running for the presidency in 1987 responded to a question about atheists by saying: "No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God!"

And as we all know, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.....:)

I agree, and he is not the only one who has made such hateful and ignorant statements while campaigning; however, they are just singing to the choir!

What a fucking imbecile. He just tuned his argument inside out!

Another one of these asinine statements, which is also rooted in just about as much ignorance, is when those who carry the christian mind-virus claim: “I’m not ‘religious,’ but I believe in Gawd and Jeebus with all of my heart.” However, the idiocy in realAmerican’s comment, is a real classic!

These deluded folks, simply make my head spin!

Freedom in America is a foundational concept . So why do schools all over America make children state a daily Loyalty oath ? An oath not just to a country,or political philosophy ,but also to a God ;of questionable moral standards ?
