Are you freaking kidding me? I dont want any aitheists or agnostics voting since they dont represent the majority or the minority groups that actually care about how this country will survive.

Equal representation, jerknuts. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be proud your ancestors fought a war over it.
Think the rest of us are happy a motley crew of bible-thumpers ranging from the preachy but well intentioned all the way to clinically insane zealots are calling so many of the shots?
Are you freaking kidding me? Fundies want a world wide war, total destruction of everything, then they'll be whooshed up into space. They dont represent the majority or the minority groups that actually care about how this country will survive.
Speaking as someone who viewed your recent election from afar, the rest of the world heaved a huge sigh of relief that your country will survive, rather than become an international joke because people like you lost.
As an agnostic that tries to spread love and tolerance, I find Beverly's post disturbing.
But not all that uncommon, unfortunately.
Yeah, because atheists and agnostics are all incorporeal beings that don't have to deal with the consequences of political decisions. Atheists and agnostics are immune to unemployment, hunger, and war. Or you're a moron and you just want to deny people that disagree with you the right to vote. But if you do that then the right to vote is as worthless as a vote in North Korea. They too like to deny (on pain of "mysterious disappearance") those that disagree the right to vote.

It doesn't work that way. You get to vote even if the only thing you represent and care about is yourself.

Yeah, well Reality doesn't bend to your will, I think you'll find Bev.
Don't like the way democracy works here in the West , fuck off to Saudi Arabia or Iran. I'm suuuuuure you'll get along just fine with the majority of Muslims in those countries. >:D
PROTIP: Just 5% of the population of Sweden are regular churchgoers. Less so in Denmark. According to polls & surveys conducted by the EU, the Czech Republic is the least religious country in Europe. For such a country - a post-Soviet Bloc collapse one, that instantly embraced Capitalism, membership of the EU, and NATO. Also Democracy - they're doing just fine.
Your call.

Well, according to your last presidential election not so long ago, Republicans don't represent the majority, either.*
So, according to you, they are not longer allowed to vote.
*(And one could argue that their politics aren't really good for the "survival" of the USA.)
Actually, I care quite a lot about how my country will survive, unlike certain religious whack-jobs who believe their god will poof them up into heaven when everything's being destroyed. I also don't like the fact that people who would like to see the first amendment violated vote, but there's little I can do about it.
This is why we should make our children pass the same citizenship test administered to immigrants. Those that fail are too stupid to vote, They can go back to watching Fox News and Entertainment Tonight and let the grown-ups worry about the real problems.
We might even lose a few colorful Congressmen, but well worth it.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I'm an anti-religious, agnostic, non-theist, and I took up the responsibility of voting this November to put the right people in office and pass the right measures. Suck it!
I believe that there will be citizens (irreligious or otherwise) who care about their country. (I know nothing of the context.) You've got to be freaking kidding me if you deny any citizen of legal majority the right to vote. Just so you know I'm agnostic, but that doesn't affect me a bit when it comes to the ballot box.
Because atheists dont have to live in the community, or pay taxes, or use services... except we do.
And unlike you, we atheists actualy see a need for personl accountability and responsibility, because we know that no magical sky daddy is going to fix things for us.
i'm not even from your country and i care a great deal about it.
i swear, the zealots never took social studies. it's like they voluntarily misinterpret the bible, the bill of rights, the constitution, the federalist system, democracy, the amendments, history, economics, sociology... don't even get them started on science and theology
Okay, this is all just getting plain stale. Hypocracy, "dem ebil atheists," "dem ebil librals," and "dem ebil queers" yada yada... Until I see something like "liberals are retard
hamsters" or "gays broke into my house, fucked my ass, and shot my dog," I will continue to remain thoroughly unimpressed.
Boo freaking hoo! This is America...religion (or lack thereof) is immaterial in voting! If you don't like it, either kiss our butts or move to Saudi Arabia or Iran or Pakistan...or both! As for me, I'm staying in America...the land of the FREE! I don't care who votes...everyone over 18 has the right to vote.
"I dont want any aitheists or agnostics voting"
Oh damn! I'm sorry about that. I thought you did want us voting. I must have gotten some bad information, or something.
That's funny. In this country of mine, we let prisoners vote. Even if you're a convicted murderer, we still don't take away your chance to have your say in politics.
Why? No matter what you are, we realise we're citizens, and as citizens, we have equal rights and responsibilities. It's got nothing to do with whether you're in a minority or the majority.
This is the new idea of GOP.
Get rid of everyone who disagree with GOP, take away their right to vote, doubt their citizenship, force them to obtain special ID's, intimidate voters at the polls, attempt to disenfranchise anyone promoting greater democracy.
The current version of GOP has no interest in democracy, only to get their politics implemented at all cost, screw democracy - we want it our way and if the voters don't agree, fuck them!
Oh, fuck you. This from someone who most likely thinks she's going to a mythical paradise and therefore has no reason to care about this country or its citizens.
We have just as much of a right to vote as anyone else. Deal with it.
Are you freaking kidding me? Another fundie making blanket statements about atheists, once against "bearing false witness"?
Actually, I should come to expect that from fundies. They're masters of hypocracy.

Leader of the Liberal Democrats - and (as part of the coalition government) Deputy Prime Minister of the UK - Nick Clegg:

He's openly stated that he's an avowed Atheist . PROTIP: MPs & government ministers etc can vote too.
...so what was that about the majority , Bev...?!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
