    @AmericanFurryBoy ; You have no idea what true Christianity actually is...that's because you've opted to exist as a lost, vile, perverted, atheistic-socialist blinded by Satan and seeking death in your sin and death in Hell in your mindlessness and atheistic psychosis.

    There is a strong prejudice against atheists in America.
    A 2019 survey shows that only 60% of US citizens would vote for an atheist as their president.
    This is in comparison to:
    96% of US citizens would vote for a black president.
    95% would vote for a Catholic president.
    92% would vote for a Jewish president.
    94% of US citizens would vote for a female president.
    71% would vote for a president under the age of 40.
    This shows that religion (or lack thereof) is the cause of a strong prejudice, stronger than any other.

  • RickeyDRickeyD 953 Pts   -  
    @xlJ_dolphin_473 ; Atheism is representative of Satan in Time; therefore, allowing Atheists in positions of leadership in society is opening the door to Satanic influence in the institutions that direct policy and mores, norms, ethics, that guide our Nation's future...this is insanity. This has come to fruition in the abortion industry via Roe/73; the insanity and perversity of Obergefell v. Hodges (2015); the unconscionable pursuit of Socialism-Marxism by the Progressive-Socialist-Democrats in 21st-Century America...these are the works of Satan in our midst and in our Government as per Atheism-Secularism-Humanism-Moral Relativism!

    I hate atheism, not atheists. I hate atheism because it is demonically based and its founder, Satan, is the nemesis of my Lord Jesus Christ (John 8:44). Atheism is death to mind, body, soul, of the one so deceived and the sect of atheism is death to any society trapped by its ideology of moral relativism; therefore, I hate atheism because it is an enemy of God, my Family, my Nation, my soul...atheism is representative of hopelessness and futility in both Time and Eternity (John 8:24).

    @RickeyD Athiesm is the non belief of any religion. AKA not following satan either aswell as a god. It is not "demonically based" it is not believing in anything. Although it seems to you that anything other than your religion is because of satan. Why would I believe and follow satan when I don't believe in your sky daddy?

    How is it the "enemy" of your nation? You still fail to prove that the United States is a christian authoritarianship. Your nation is secular, and its population is made up of many different religions.

    Establishment Clause

    The First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion, or non-religion over religion.


    I bring the definition of the Establishment Clause up again and again and you keep ignoring me and defining it as only "to protect religion from the government" and nothing else. It was designed to make the Untied States a secular nation. You fail to rebut this at all, because the consitution does not lie.

    @smoothie ; Atheism and Evolution are religions or better, sects, denominations, of Naturalism-Secular Humanism-or even Pantheism. You serve a religion and god's in atheism. You are a Naturalist that worships Nature-the creature rather than the Creator (Romans 1:24-25) and you serve the god of Nature; the god of atheism - Dawkins; the god of unbelief, Satan. You are a Satanist in drag: "Atheism - Satanism: Birds of a Feather: https://rickeyholtsclaw.com/2018/01/01/atheism-satanism-birds-of-a-feather/

    "Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for [p]a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed [q]forever. Amen."  Romans 1:24-25 (NASB)

    Once again, the Establishment Clause protects religion from government by forbidding the implementation of a state religion, the very thing our Founders were fleeing, that would inevitably war against any other beliefs than the one advocated for by the elite in power whether or not that religion was atheism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism. Please study?

    You won't believe this Truth that you're a servant of Satan in your Atheism (John 8:44) but the fact remains, you do serve Satan, even if unaware and you will suffer a similar fate as he in Hell lest you repent and trust in Jesus Christ for the mediation of your sin (John 8:24). You are the walking dead and you're too naive/deceived to realize it!

    @RickeyD ;

    Does it mean I will get to lay down with her (Satan)? That would be worth alleged suffering in Hell, especially since Hell seems to be populated by the most inventive and rational people in human history and, probably, has achieved anarcho-capitalism by now!

    That is after death though. For now, I will worship Asian ladies. And Marcus Miller, who is my musical guru. And also Adolph Hitler, just to spite everyone.

    In the past you have said that it was only to "protect religion from government" and made weird claims that it was only this, and left out that it also "protects the government from religion", it goes both ways. Maybe you did not want to imply that since it detriments your argument. It says that "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise therefor of." That was what I was getting at, that the government is secular.

    Religion and government are separate. A.K.A this nation is not a Christian nation as you claim. So, Atheism is not against "your nation", your nation is not Christian, it is a mix of various views and religions. Thanks for proving my point.

    1) You do serve and worship Satan as your god in Atheism even if in spiritual ignorance and naivete. In this life constrained by Time you have but two-options concerning servitude and destiny:

    A) Trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and find forgiveness of sin leading to life in the Kingdom of God.

    B) Deny Jesus Christ as Lord and serve Satan by default and suffer a similar fate as he in Eternity.
    There are NO OTHER options available to you.

    2) Incorrect, I told you, in the past, that the Establishment Clause was enacted to protect religion from Government NOT Government from religion.

    Must be a fragile world indeed, if its only hope rests on an execution of one man that took place over two millennia ago. 

    If this is the best world the god managed to create, then he should hire a better level designer. His previous one definitely did not earn his/her pay.

You do not understand causation for the Creation of Time, the Universe and life...you live in a secular world of spiritual ignorance that is dying in sin and hopelessness and you're too proud, arrogant, stubborn, demonically deceived, to turn and learn and find life in Eternity!

    OP,

    Even I think Atheism is ridiculous but your post, firstly it's not yours...that much is blatantly apparent and secondly: You're not winning any battles here by openly attacking someone for an evil ideology.  Even if you were a Christian (Which I doubt seriously that you are) you can't think that Christianity teaches its followers to behave in such a way towards those who are lost.  You honestly thing as a Christian (Someone who strives to be Christ-Like) that this is something JC would want you to do?  

    Winning an argument means nothing if you offend your opponent so much that they're unwilling to listen to you.

    Man wages War against man each day, it's called Terrorism, Gun Violence crimes, Rape, Domestic Violence and Abuse, Murder/Suicide, and Abortion, and so on?

    And I can imagine, that you can find Zero evidence, to prove that any "Religion," caused the above, Man caused atrocities? 

    "Reality is, religions cause wars, and Christianity, historically, is one of the biggest offenders."

    "Reality is, there is NO proof of ANY "god". Reality is, being Christian is NOT "freedom of religion".

    What Book of Science, did you USE, to help you, come up with your above claim?

    "It is the "freedom" to believe what some tell you you MUST believe, whether you do or not! I choose NOT to avoid reality."

    Reality is, human beings used their freedoms, to victimize their victims, via the previously mentioned man caused atrocities.

    Unless your individual Atheist reality is different, from the same Reality that we are Globally a part of currently?

    @Vaulk RickeyD has pretty much made christianity that much more undesirable.

    He has harassed and insulted me further and further away from his god. He has called me mentally ill, a spawn of satan, monstrous, an enemy to the public, a pervert, dysfunctional, nasty, immoral, unnatural, an espouser of evil, socially confused, depraved, demonically inspired, spiritually ignorant, hopeless, demented, and a lot more things that I don't even bother to look up.

    He is a disgrace to christianity and has nearly singlehandedly turned me from agnostic to pure athiest on this site. Under all that religious guise, he is a terrible depraved bully whos only purpose in life it seems is to verbally assault anybody who slightly disagrees with him.

    I feel sorry people like him share your religion.

    We all live in ignorance; not a single one of us knows even a tiny fraction of what there is to know about Universe. But some of us, at least, do not believe in fairies, so that is a start.

    You talk about arrogance and pride, yet you keep telling everyone how inferior they are to you and how you are the only one knowing the truth - and speaking for the supreme being of the Universe, no less. Do you not see the irony here? You are the most arrogant and prideful one here, friend.

    No, you do not know it; you just read it in a book and believed it. Believing in something is not the same as knowing it; in fact, I would even say that believing, by definition, means not knowing. When you know, you do not have to believe, and when you believe, then you are not operating on logic and, hence, cannot know.

    Nobody knows where anybody is headed. But some are not headed anywhere, because they stick to a set of dogmas and refuse to subject their views to any criticism. And others, at least, are moving somewhere, whether for better or worse.

      The message of Islam as brought by the prophets of Allah is to worship only Allah and to avoid the worship of his creation either directly or indirectly. 
    (Read more: The True Religion)

    Say: He is God, the One and Only;  God, the Eternal, Absolute;  He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (Surah 112)

       God is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. God is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to God! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.

    He is God, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colors). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (59:22-24)
