The Separation of Church and State

    It's really becoming a problem. With the newly-founded anti-theist league under the banner of Richard Dawkins and other Nananananana-I'm-Gonna-Start-a-Fight-ers, I find we Christians, we believers in general are being oppressed.

    We have a right to instill the values and teachings of Jesus (or Mohammed, if that's what you're into :rolleyes:) into our children! I'll be damned if Atheists are going to deprive me of that.

    And yes, cultural diversity is key, I know that. But just think of the atrocities that have been carried out as a DIRECT RESULT of atheism. Just look at Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Genghis Khan and pretty much any Communist!

    We need to unite as a people and stop these sneaky, goddamn annoying Dawkinsians before they completely undermine what we worked so hard for during the Celtic Tiger.

    And we are not alone in this. But we're always looking for more supporters! :P

    What're you referring to that we worked so hard for during the Celtic Tiger?
    I must disagree that we Christians are being oppressed, where I live I know nobody that is scorned upon because of their beliefs. BTW, I'd get rid of the rolleyes you have after "or Muhammed, if that's what you're into". It's abit ignorant, they see our religion in the exact same way and you seem to scorning upon them in the way you describe. That is if what you mean by that, unless I'm missing the point completely! :)

    Catholicism would be responsible for more deaths then all those folk combined.

    Tut tut. You should know better. But you don't because you only posted to get a rise out of people.

    Christians are being opressed?

    Good enough for them- turn the other cheek OR you could start persecuting people willy nilly on religious grounds, ya know like the Cruisades and the Spanish inquisition.

    Blood makes baby Jesus laugh.
