It's been sneaking in there for years.  I may have to move.  Or start my own country.  Well, really, I'm too lazy for that.  I'll have someone else start my own country so I can live there.

This is the ONE THING that bothers me most about religion. If people want to pray and believe in non existent deities, that's their own thing. But when they decide that I should be forced to participate in their shenanigans by exploiting our government and public school system, well that really pisses me off. That's why I support organizations like FFRF. Somebody has to stand up and defend the constitution.

@M: ha ha starting own country is not possible lol. Rights have to fought for otherwise they will go away

 

@ungodlynews: I agree we have to fight for our equal rights in a respectful and non violent manner otherwise the rights will go away one at a time

Separation of church and state! Where is--

Oh, right. You had me excited for a second there.

 

I find it ironic that the founding fathers fled from religious tyranny in Europe, and yet the US now seems to be devolving into that while the places they left behind become more secular.

 Here is the short version of how religion is integrated into a taxpayer funded work place.

• Told to hold hands and pray at staff meetings
• Bible toting visitors given access to the buiding
• Clubs organized exclusivly to praise and spread "his" word 
• Mention of evolution strongly discouraged
• Removal of the word evolution from science curriculum
• Removal of the teaching of evolution ... period 
• Pledge of Allegiance repeated daily with emphasis on the word God
• Might lose my job for posting on this site
