About time we brought religion back into our classrooms and lives in the UK….The whole anti god mafia seems to have taken over the US and UK

“…if he’s an atheist, he’s not eligible to serve in public office…”

Damn right! I mean, think of all the political duties that involve religion! Think of the chaos that would be caused if the people determining the budgets for schools, laying the maps for roads, and writing new laws didn’t have a thorough understanding of God! Madness…Madness I tell you!!! You’ll see…One day those carefully selected Christian politicians (not Muslim or Jewish or anything like that, obviously, we know they’re wrong,) will come up with some wonderful things that atheist politicians couldn’t POSSIBLY come up with, like better designs for hospitals, better quality education for children, and a better way to express sarcasm in text form.

@ Ladyclair Religion is always and has always been the greater power. If you deny the existence of god then you are denying that there is a supreme being in charge of it all. If you do that who is in charge of us. We are. Then who can be right. The guys with the biggest guns. And that cant happen. So God is in charge. Pathetically we cling to this idiotic fallacy taking our own interpretations of the word of god and using it to morally rule others. But when that fails then it comes down to what really counts – do as I say cause I have the biggest guns. Dreadful state of affairs. And then when it goes tits up, then we turn to “god” to guide us back to a morally correct standpoint. Which is based on our interpretation of what Gods word is. Idiotic circular belief. And then the religious peacekeepers step in to take moral charge. Scary.

The thing is that this is probably the most powerful superpower in the world. Which is frightening that these morons can be in this position. Its embarrassing to even consider them part of the human race. But its not Americans in general. But it is the gobby ones that you hear about and see in America which taint our observations of the people as a whole. The normal ones quietly go about their business like most do around the world. But seriously the problem with America is the apathy that allows this kind of crap to come to the fore. That and people like Bush to stay in power, when clearly he was a twat. Everybody knew it, he should have been removed when it became apparent and replaced with an oops we cocked up broadcast. But their apathy allows this charade of a race to continue unabated and we take on their protocols – humiliating.

This just seems so ridiculous to me. Are religion & politics so intertwined nowadays that this is the way of things?

This was decided by the US Supreme Court back in 1961… http://religiousfreedom.lib.virginia.edu/court/torc_v_watk.html

The City Council has not a leg to stand on.

That is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. If that was the other way round and religious people were barred then there would be an uproar. Jesus christ.
