To Vote, or not to Vote?

That’s the question posed by the President of American Atheists Ellen Johnson on our web site www.atheists.org. Should we vote for the least undesirable candidate, even though NONE of them have reached out to the secular community — even in the slightest? Or should we not vote at all?I’m not going to chime in here — yet. I’ll let you do it. Click the link, watch the video, and post your comments here.

    The Constitution does not give the states the right to deny a separation between church and state.

    Of course it doesn’t. For 2 reasons…First, you fail to understand what the Constitution was for…it “Limits” the Federal Govenrments involvement in state affairs…Second…there is no “Sep of Church and State”…it’s a myth.

    But we’ve been down this road so many times…the myth is nothing more then a fund raising tactic by AA and the likes so that they can attend convention after convention on your dime…

    Reason,

    The Constitution Party says that the Constitution establishes a Christian Nation.

    From Wikipedia:

    The Constitution Party advocates a Bible-based platform which it claims to reflect original intent of the U.S. Constitution and the principles of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. The party seeks “to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations.”

    Basically, whatever their interpretation of the Bible is will dictate the kind of laws they choose to push.

    Phreedm,
    This myth you speak of sure has made Ellen Johnson rich, hasn’t it?

    Your definition of “myth” is faulty. It’s more properly applied to your religious beliefs (however poorly defined).
