Californian says Secularists believe in myths.

From North County Times in San Diego;

FORUM: Secular humanists build on myth, not accuracy


Time to get into this whole Secular nation versus Christian nation meme. Religious maintain that because the Puritans settled in Massachusetts and Catholics settled in Maryland and that the British colonists in the Southern colonies were mainly Church of England that it naturally follows that this is a Christian nation. This is not a Christian nation. It is a Secular nation composed mostly of Christians through out its history until now and that may be changing soon.

The Founding Fathers were mostly not Christians but Deists. They had to be in order to overthrow the British Crown. After all, Mad King George was the head of the Church of England and Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, etc., over threw his monarchy in the New World. All of Europe was feudal. The first republican democracy in the world was the United States with no allegiance to any crown and therefore, no allegiance to any one God.

Remember, it was God, King, and Country every serf was forced at gun point to swear allegiance. Our Founding Fathers refused.

If you want to be a good American,
If you want to be a Patriotic American,
If you want to follow the American Idea,

Then you have to become a Deist or Secular Humanist, stop going to church, stop being a feudalist and become an American (someone who believes in freedom of thought, not blind allegiance.)

Last, but not least, remember that Secularists do not believe in myths. Christians do.

Liberty Counsel

Liberty Counsel

Yea, pray that this bunch of Rightwing Nuts can continue to destroy the freedoms of the US Constitution in the Bill of Rights. Pro-gun and anti-religious freedom. Pro-death penalty and anti-abortion. These people are totally despicable.

Imagine if some religious organization suffered the same indignity that Ben Zalisko received from the hands of the good Christians at the University of Chicago. {I really don't believe that the good Christians will ever be good.} Those Christians would be still be screaming PERSECUTION as loud as they could.

We need to do exactly the same. Start screaming PERSECUTION time some "good" Christian exhibits the need to defame a Secularist. Seek out your somewhat "good" Christian friends and ask them what they and their leaders plan to do about the persecution and defamation of Secularists, Freethinkers, Atheists, or what ever you call yourself.

But don't let them get away with it every again.

While Hemant is all right with the Dobson group spending their money on a worthless 30 second ad seen by an extremely large TV audience, I am still concerned about the hypocrisy of allowing this incendiary racist, misogynist and homophobic group to present themselves during the Super Bowl. Moveon.org was denied air time to present an anti-war, anti-torture ad. PETA was denied air time to present the value of vegetables. And yet, FOF is granted air time by the network to present their persistent crap.
