Love it...I'm going to choose to believe in the non-existence of something.

Anyone else see the paradox in that?

The frenzy of Antheism is contrary to what this nation was built on. Becasue a select few are entrenched in the notion of Freedom FROM Religion...which correct venacular is Freedom OF Religion...is akin to the folks at PETA wanting to elevate the "rights" of animals over humans.

Now, if we're talking about Agnostics...that's a horse of a different color.

Perhaps you and your friends that seek soooo damned hard to "intrigue" this board with your banal questions should do your own research on the Founding Fathers and their religious beliefs instead of a cigar board.

That your brain generates enough power to run a keyboard - now that is a paradox.

Yeah. This nation was built on the frenzy of greed and genocide with lip service paid to Christian values. Totally different than atheism.

The Founding Fathers were aristocratic, slave-holding, violent misogynists. They're not heroes, they're scum. Fortunately, Founding-Father worship is disappearing with the baby boomers.

And I think the original post posited an interesting idea.

Any person who keeps slaves is scum til the end of time. It goes against the very Christian and Masonic jibber jabber that these supposed great men were said to stand for. QED

I love the constitution as a document, but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the powers that be (past and present) ever intend(ed) it to be followed as a legal precedent. Again, lip service. Talk high and mighty, but act down and dirty. Urine tests directly violate the fourth amendment.

My perfect world is far, far away, either in the past or the future and my wife always reminds me that I am too damned idealistic. I wouldn't have it any other way. I'd like to see international boundaries eradicated. I'd like corporate criminals to be punished as harshly as lower-class felons are. I'd like ALL hazardous/radioactive waste stored on the personal property of the folks who own the factories that produced it. I'd like the legally-sovereign indigenous people invited to the UN. Yadda yadda on and onhorse horse horse

My perfect world is predicated on people being honest with themselves and each other. First, do no harm. Then, "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."

I propose we have a test of sorts. For those who believe we should have a president who is religious send me one very fine stogy and your answer. To those who believe an atheist would do just as well. Send me One fine stogy and your answer. I will tally all the stogies up in each area and answers, find out who really sent the best stogies, and publish my unbiased report forthwith. Sounds fair. The honorable person would send a fine stogy, the dishonorable person would send a stinker, man I love the application of totally wasted semester of sociology class.

You've probably heard I was into the comedy & sarcasm thing. Kind of getting out of that now...into a little more of a serious deal. And so that's why right now I'd like to talk about "What... I... Believe..."

[serious music in background]

"What I Believe."

I believe in a perfect world full of apple pie, rainbows, puppy dogs, and fairy tales.

And I believe in the family - Mom and Dad and Grandma... and Uncle Tom, who waves his penus.

And I believe 8 of the 10 Commandments.

And I believe in going to church every Sunday, unless there's a game on.

And I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, wholesome and natural things... that money can buy.

And I believe it's derogatory to refer to a woman's breasts as "boobs", "jugs", "tits" or "golden bozos".. and that you should only refer to them as "hooters".

And I believe you should put a woman on a pedestal.. high enough so you can look up her dress.

And I believe in equality, equality for everyone.. no matter how stupid they are, or how much better I am than they are.

And, people say I'm crazy for believing this, but I believe that TSA screeners laugh at snapshots of my genitals.

And I believe rapper battles should be fought with guns.

And I believe that Barak Obama can make this country what it once was - an arctic region covered with ice.

And I believe that the good Lord put us on this earth so we could hourly post our lunches, drinks, and smokes because that's important for the world to know.

And, lastly, I believe that of all the evils on this earth, there is nothing worse than the cbid political thread you're reading right now.

Call me naive. Call me silly. But that's what I believe. Crying
