I wish we could just take all the athiests and put them in camps and ovens, I really do. The Founding Fathers (who all worshiped Jesus) never promised freedom from religion -- they simply wanted to make sure that Evangelical Christians like myself were free to pray in schools. Unfortunately the Supreme Court insists on that and on killing babies.

would you consider atheists better people if we had a religion, such as Hinduism? You can't deny that the constitution protects our right to follow that.
Why is it that so many Christians are obsessed with making everything like themselves? No blacks, no gays, no atheists, no women, the only thing that counts as a person is a white Christian straight man... unless he's the wrong type of Christian, that is.
Evangelical Christians are free to pray in schools, subject to the school's attendance policy. When has anyone said you can't pray in a school? They just can't use the school building, which is paid for by everyone, to conduct organized religious services or expect school employees, who are paid by everyone, to conduct them.
Besides, evangelical Christians don't really want school prayer for their own kids - they could pray all they want before school, on the way to school, at lunch, between classes, etc. - what they want is to make everyone else's kids pray, because they think everyone else is the spawn of Satan who needs fundie help in raising their kids.
Are fundies ignorant of US history, or cynically convinced everyone else is? Does lying through stupidity still violate the 9th Commandment? Hello! Dumbasses! Benjamin Franklin was agnostic! Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison were Diests (modern day Unitarian Church, which you fundies consider pagans). Thomas Paine was an atheist. A lie told to further your fundie religio-political agenda is still a lie. God doesn't like liars. Remember #9 Jimbo.
Actually they wanted to ensure that no religion would be able to tyranize the rest of the nation...like you so desperately want to do. I think the Founding Fathers, even the ones who worshiped Jesus, would be happy that their efforts are still hindering the likes of you from establishing your theocracy.
Tell you what, if your sky fairy god has a problem with me not believing in him, let him throw me in the oven himself.
As feedom of religion in the US-- go read some history books before you make yourself look like an idiot again.
A note about prayer in school:
There is no law forbidding any child or teacher from muttering their pointless prayers in a school. The law protects my children from being forced to pray by fundie morons like the original poster.
The law also protects me from being led in prayer before a sporting event. You can do what you want, the law is there to keep you from forcing me or my children from doing something that we think is pointless and stupid.
The founders were, indeed, deeply concerned about Evangelical Christians. Not in the way you think they were, however.
And I think that your historical revisionims ignores JFK, you know, Catholic, or Thomas Paine and Jefferson, theists. Well, you can be a troll too but your camps and ovens starts to sound unrealistic Christian redneck-like.
Yeah. I'm sure the founding fathers wanted the idea of rounding up people who don't agree with you and killing them. That's why they didn't add things in like Freedom of Speach, Religon, and a right to a fair and speedy trail with no cruel or unsual punishments.
You, sir, are not a Christian.
Love your neighbor as yourself. He who is without sin cast the first stone.
What you fundies forget is that Jesus hung out with SINNERS, he didn't hang out with the religious elite, in fact he couldn't stand their holier than thou attitudes. Jesus preached compassion and forgiveness, not killing people because they're different.
if you were to put all atheists in the world in camps and put fundies on guard, you do realize that we get to have the biological, chemical, nuclear, and ballistic warfare? just because you're stupid and we're smart?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
