The theme of the event, though, excludes the many Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists and other nonbelievers who have worn the uniform and served their country with dignity and pride!

I agree…this county fair should be taken to task. The next night’s theme is Grandma, Grandpa and Senior Citizens Day…

That theme ignores 60% of America…

The nerve of these people…

For those who constantly complain about the poor education of science in America might be interested to know that President Ronald Reagan first proposed for this collider to be built outside of Dallas with the vision that America would lead the world in Physics…

It was the democratically controlled congress who killed the vision…

But don’t worry…the “messiah” is going to give us the “change we’ve been waiting for”….

So very true…

I’m glad you’re not prejudice against those who have found their faith from “uncaused causes” that you you do not understand…

At least someone on this board still has an open mind…

I doubt you are as enthusiastic about Evolution as you are about the Big Bang.

Actually I’m willing to discuss ALL possibilities discussing “uncaused causes”…are you?

By the way, the Big Bang could have been spontaneous.

Of course it was spontaneous…I fully support the theory of the Big Bang. I just don’t believe the universe is eternal…

Have you also studied the “Inflation Theory”? I fully support that also…

This day is not so much a discount for Christians, as it is a tax on Atheists.

I am the organizer for the Nashville Secular Life group, and am responsible for raising the red flag on this event.

Thank you for taking this cause up.

Wilson County thinks it is okay to preferential treatment to Christian Church-goers. Atheists, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, etc. are excluded from their discounting policy.

I will be unable to attend, but everyone who attends has my best wishes at the fair. I will be getting one of those “I Support Foxhole Atheists” T-shirts.

In reason,
