I split my post out of the other thread since it is really a topic of it's own. For those that would argue that we are advancing as a civilization and a society, I offer this:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354327,00.html

So there you have it. A teacher does a simple "magic trick", not much more complex than the "I've got your nose" trick that people do to little kids, and he gets accused of witchcraft and fired! What-the-fuck??? How can anyone think we are advancing as a society when we are still all but burning people at the stake for being witches, just like in the dark ages? LOL


These things happen mainly due to the actions of the few people who have the power to influence in that particular situation.

And frankly I am not surprised at all. I hear about this everyday.

I am pretty sure the Board of teachers were made up of anti-magic Christian pukes who had nothing better to do than showcase their primordial beliefs by destroying the career of someone who is not in-line with their beliefs.

The thing is though, this happens both ways. If Atheists/Agnostics are in power, then they would use their power to influence events as well.

Consider the case where a student was suspended 2 days from school because he drew an artwork depicting the fucking Bible verse John 3:16. You can watch that here:

But that stupid kid deserved it and it was justified because that fucking verse pretty much indirectly tells everyone to "accept Jesus or perish in hell." That's the last thing I need to worry about in this world. And it is offensive.

So you see, if goes both ways. It all comes down to survival of the fittest. People from all beliefs are finding out the hard way that if you shut up, then you are asking to be kicked. That's why we hear about these incidents each day.

The question we must ask is which of these ideals is beneficial to the further development of mankind.

As for the whole theme of the topic, my views are not that different than Spoony's. Any half-brained creature can tell you that a few elitist fags are the ones running America at the cost of everyone else. I laugh at the patriots who STILL claim that the American government is "by the people, for the people." That era no longer exists.

I'm not denying that there would be a backlash towards someone openly claiming to be an atheist, but you have to blame the candidates, as well.


For what may I ask? For being Atheist? For being "evil"? For being "Anti-Christ"? For not representing the masses of narrow-minded religious freaks who don't see the fact that a bold, neutral, Atheist leader with an initiative would be more than capable of governing a divided population?

There will be a huge backlash by these religious bigots and the "rapture fanatics" will all claim that a hypothetical Atheist candidate is the Anti-Christ. Bible thumpers will go about the land spreading the "end times" fear into the population through the media just as they did when Israel undertook a combined-arms military assault against the Hezbollah in the summer of 2006.

Heck, EVEN Obama was accused of being the Anti-Christ in early 2007 when he announced his presidential campaign.

More than 200 years of Christian faith and the "love of Jesus" has not covered the evils of racism in America. And both of the races-in-question (whose main religion is Christianity) has to be blamed...Christians! Good job! Sarcasm
