Wow! I don’t think I’ve seen phreedm beaten up so badly.
Have you guys been holding back?

hmmmm . . . .
Poor phreedm… to him every new thread is a chance to display his ignorance for the world to see…
“Freedom of the press isn’t in the First Amendment” our boy phreedm says…
Mind-boggling ignorance…
Anyone see freedummy?
KatK,
I don’t mean to offend (we’re on the same team), but you misspelled (and bolded) ‘emphasize’ in a post where you berated phreedm for his own misspelling.
I love irony.
phreedm,
I’ve asked you several times to stop using the Equivocation fallacy. You can use the word “belief” to describe more than one concept, but that does not mean the two concepts are interchangeable.
Belief based on faith is not (and never will be) the same as belief based on evidence.
It was the Equivocation Fallacy the first time you did that, and it’s still the Equivocation Fallacy.
Furthermore, since when are Atheists required to believe in the Big Bang?
My personal feelings (which are common in the scientific community) are that there simply isn’t enough info to say anything for sure. All the various theories are just thought experiments with varying levels of credibility.
Until there’s enough evidence in any one direction, the best anyone can say is “we don’t know.”
I wish the Theists would figure that out.
i will fill in for phreedm.now i am not saying this is a christian nation but a deist nation inspired by the high moral teaching of the masonic order.blast away all you like but the founders did believe in a god and they had no intention of excluding belief in god from the public square.some states in the early days of the republic had state churchs and no one got worked up because this was seen as a state right. we are a federal republic not a centralized republic.
DeepDiver-
51 of the 55 men who signed the D.I.
were members of church that required as part of that membership public confession of faith in Jesus Christ.
That doesn’t seem to fit well with the the whole deist thing.
Hi guys, how ya been.
Hi Jack, its been awhile.
Where did you get this information?
I was registered as a protestant when I was a baby, but that does not mean anything. It is also well documented where many of the FF’s had no respect for xtianity.
So Jack, perhaps you can answer this: Is this a White Man’s nation?
Deep Diver
it should be a white mans nation.what the hell were we thinking to give the vote to women.
alatham – I realized the TYPO after submitting… I, too, love irony.
(Note, I corrected phreedy’s gramar, not spelling… and normally I wouldn’t be so catty, but he didn’t READ my husband’s post.)
I heard about the FFs when Greg Koukl and D’Nesh DaSouza were discussing it on a podcast a couple of weeks ago.
Church was a much more serious endeavor back then, there was nothing casual about it, you really needed to be commited to it in order to claim membership.
I don’t think I understand your white man’s country question. Do you mean who own’s america? Or who runs it, or who has the most advantages?
And now I’ve spelled grammar wrong!
I give up – if I wasn’t an atheist I would think karma was after me
Toad,
Educate yourself in regards to FF’s views on xtianinty. They were for the most part deists, not xtians!
