Sunday School March 12th 2017

There are plenty of good people who just need to believe in a god. They do not understand what atheism is and think that people can choose to be one. Maybe freethinkers owe of debt of gratitude to Tennyson. I wonder if the cognitive dissonance of some believers could be explained using simple playground metaphors.

Apparently Evangelicals believe they face more discrimination than Muslims. If only they had some representation in government to help them see they are equal under the law. Betsy DeVos will learn us atheists right!

Have a great week everyone!

"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute- where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote--where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference--and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him."

President John F. Kennedy.

The DeVos'....nice bunch of folks. Mammon and forced faith in a white, conservative, American Jesus! Let's sip drinks and plan the mind purge. Holy crap! :(

Thanx for the lessons, Reg! :)
