Yet another simple reaction, stick to the facts, because I have a different opinion than you it does not make anti American. Black and white thinking no gray shades for most of you.
Copy and past "and I added this post to spread the word" That's against the forum rules. I live in south east Asia and we have a lot of these Americans who feel the need to spread the word. They mostly prey on the weaker people in the society, not nice to do.
We so called "non believers" actually believe in plenty of things but not in a god. It is mostly people with "insecurities" who need a god. Posting an article like this is provocative and asking for reactions.
In Europe we have lived with Fascisme, people in the US cal somebody a communist while he would be called right wing in Europe. Banned may be a strong word but each forum has his rules. A couple weeks ago people asked not to post political views. Aviation depends a lot on politics and politics depends a lot on religion. Especially in the States. You will need something bigger this time than a god to get out of the mess god created in the U.S.
John Spencer, how can we hate something that does not exist? However one can hate those brainwashed people that believe he exist. History tells us that there have been many wars in his name still as of today. Everybody is born naked and none of them are believers, that part is added on depending on the family and the country you are born in. A couple million years ago a young dinosaur asked his father dinosaur. " Does god really exist" his answer, not yet son, not yet :)
Just wanted to make my point and I'm not surprised it was downvoted :) If a lot of people want to believe in Santa it is up to them but if I have an imaginary friend they send me to a shrink, if I call him god it is fine.
