Little God snippets piss me off!

“        I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don’t. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding  why there is such a problem in having “In God We Trust” on our money and having “God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don’t we just tell the 14% to Shut Up, lay down and BE QUIET!!!”

 

Why put this in the email? The only time God was mentioned in the forward is when Andy finished his rant with the first sentence of the Pledge of Allegiance.

 

Now I am not part of the hard core atheist group. I do believe in Separation of Church and State. Anyone that disagrees with me on this point, please go read some history books.

 

I decided to check that validity of the email and come to see… It was just some asshole that has too much time on their hands.

The problem I have is with the 20% of the 86% population that believe in God. It is this group of people that make the 14% shout we will not lay down and be quiet.

 

These people can’t take responsibility for their own actions. They pass the buck off to God or the Devil. Then make this religious group back up their claim with anything substantial and they back pedal to their faith or a book. Below I will give my two second opinion on living by Faith and a book.

 

Faith is not substantial; it is just some brain chemicals making them feel moved. So it is only an opinion really.

 

Getting enough people to believe your book does not make it true. Any of these people believe the Book of Mormon? Don’t get me wrong, if I see some dude or chick descending from the Heavens (not Chris Angel) without strings or gadgets, then yeah I would probably take up a cross and follow. Until then I am not going to follow a book that has been rewritten numerous times by different groups over the past 1,700 years.
