World History With The Pope
So, atheists have been the cause of the most horrible acts in humanity huh? One thing this cartoon leaves out is that Hitler was catholic himself. There are pictures of priests giving the nazi salute in Hitler's presence. They blessed the insane motherfucker! But anyway...
This is not a fucking xian nation!!!
1. Check the first amendment to the constitution(taken from the National Archives:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
That says this nation does NOT endorse ANY religion. It as clear as can be.
2. Not all of the founders of this nation were xian. Thomas Jefferson was NOT a xian. He was a deist. BIG difference. A deist says that a deity made the universe but then left it to run on its own. No xianity in that at all.
3. The Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 clearly states:
As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
Now, as that plainly states, this is NOT a xian nation. There is no Church of The United States of America. Many citizens may be xian, but the government is not. That treaty was signed by President Adams and ratified UNANIMOUSLY by the Senate. That's right, UNANIMOUSLY. Needless to say, that hasn't happened many times. Also, the full text of the treaty was published in many newspapers throughout the nation a there was no public bitching about it at all. So, at a time when xianity was as commonplace as breathing, the citizens of the country had no problem with it. Also, the Senate and President of the time had no problem with it.
4. In my opinion Abraham Lincoln was the best President this nation ever had. We could use another Lincoln. Most people in this nation would agree with that. But wait, he wasn't a xian either! That's right! The man who held this nation together and got it through the civil war and who freed the slaves was NOT a xian!
The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession.
-- Abraham Lincoln, quoted by Joseph Lewis in "Lincoln the Freethinker"
This shows his understanding of the hypocrisy of praying to a "just god" in war:
Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not that we be not judged.
-- Abraham Lincoln, sarcasm in his Second Innaugural Address (1865)
5. This is a great explanation of what xianity has done to this land. I'd love for the xians to spew some more oral defecation about this comment from the article linked to at the beginning of the rant:
________________
Oh yeah. That comment was a good bitch-slap in the face of the delusional "moral majority" in this nation.
Well, that's about all I can think of to prove that this is NOT a xian nation. Oh, wait! There is the "principles" argument. Those who will agree that the founding fathers didn't make the government xian still say that the nation was founded on xian principles. What exactly are principles that are unique to xianity or were borrowed from xianity? I'm waiting...
Time's up! There ARE NONE! Those assholes should study history a little bit before making claims like that. There is no "xian principle" that was not used before xianity began. Not one. That's one of my main bitches with xians. Xianity does NOT have the monopoly on morality. I'll go into that in a separate rant. So, until next time,
Wake up sheeple!
