Comments on: Remember — you pay higher taxes for this. http://atheists.org/blog/2007/05/12/remember_you_pay_higher_taxes_for_this A Blog of Atheist Thought Fri, 19 Mar 2010 05:01:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: hominid http://atheists.org/blog/2007/05/12/remember_you_pay_higher_taxes_for_this/comment-page-1#comment-59396 hominid Unknown, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-59396 In Indiana there is a lawsuit pending over a $60,000 per yr faith based position offered to some good for nothing baptist and in stark disregard for the separation of church and state here. Also some loco political fool has introduced an obvious religious pitch on license plates here in disregard of a normal $15 charge for what are otherwise specialty plates and has been challenged over it with the civil liberties union. Blatant disregard seems to be all too common for the mouthy and pushy war criminal in the White House and his obnoxious born again (or otherwise) money sucking religio politico crooked damned thug accomplices thoughout the US. Anyone who doesn't care to live in a total theocracy had best learn to stand their ground or lose it to the self-centered and imposing obnoxious damned bastards.

It would be the Christians, because they would see in that civil war a grand purpose.<br /> <br /> We atheists know there is no grand purpose, nothing to kill or die for, in the words of John Lennon.

I/we should not have to give our money to the spread of religious faith. I don't know about everyone else on here, but there is no subject that gets my blood pumping as much as this one... When I tell some of my X-ian friends about this, they think it's great which makes me even more upset. I need to just stop thinking about this for a while because I can feel my hair falling out as I type this. AAARRRGGGG!!!! <br /> One thing is clear, something has to change.
