[First comment under a news story about a pro-atheism billboard in Lakeland, Florida.]


I do belive that alot of intelligent people belive in Jesus. I do know that this country was founded on it. Why do you think America started. For our freedom of religion and Freedom of our speech. George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and many more founded this country on God. You take God out, and you have this complete AND utter chaos, people killing each other, CHILDREN KILLING THEIR PARENTS, AND PARENTS KILLING THEIR CHILDREN, RANDOM KILLINGS FOR A PAIR OF SHOES, and drug addiction that is out of control.Families vanishing, and no protection from our God (talked about this in the bible written over 2000 years ago). This is where we need to be verbal and state our religion get our facts out there so people will start seeing the wrongs of this country. WE are not perfect people we all are wrong in one way or the other, but for now it is hard to hear certain gestures on this site. We all are human and we need to find our peace and humility again. WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN HE CREATED US OUT OF HIS OWN IMAGE YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT!! Each child you have the more trouble he gets in the more punished he/she gets. The same with us the more we stray from God and ignore he exists the more he punishes us. We all fall short of the Glory of God and we all have sinned. No matter the religion no matter where you are in life. This is why we need to stand together as a nation. God would start to shine his light once again and we would once again be a great nation.

tdf155, The 1st Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of gievances." Breaking it down, the first part DOES NOT MEAN separation of church and state. What it says and means is that Congress shall not make a law that creates or establishes a required Church, such as the British did when they created the Anglican Church, or the Church of England. It also states that congress shall not prohibit the free exercise of your faith, as they are trying to do, especially if you happen to be Christian. The second part says we have the freedom to voice our opinion, and congress shall make no law to prohibit it. And the press can say or write whatever they wish... which mostly is slanted very liberally in an attempt to not report the news, but to create the news, and pursuade people to believe the falsehoods and slant that they speak. And the last part gives us the right to peacefully assemble to protest that which we feel is not right... Unless of course, you are a pro-lifer outside of an abortion mill, in such case, you will earn a trip to jail for exercising your constitutional rights. So, even though it grants us rights, if we aren't being politically correct, we are still subject to persecution.
