Ellen Johnson, president of American Atheists said that President Bush

“should not be violating the Constitution by telling people to pray for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. It’s unconstitutional for government officials to be promoting religion; and besides, judging from the speed of some relief efforts, officials should be busy working instead of preaching.” - WorldNetDaily

Hey, Ellen, I know that you have never studied history so let me educate you a little ok?

“Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me to commend to the people of United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness, now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next, to be devoted to the service of that great and glorious Being, Who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or will be.” - George Washington OCTOBER 3, 1789

Uh, what was that again? That’s right you wacko so Hell bent on a flawed political agenda that the truth means nothing to you, the first amendment does not prohibit the government from “promoting religion”. It says, and I know reading might be hard for you but please do try ok, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. James Madison said of the first amendment it (which he proposed by the way) that “if the word national was inserted before religion, it would satisfy the minds of the honorable gentlemen” (Pg 758 The Annals of Congress) instead of inserting the following into article I, section 9: “Congress should not establish a religion, and enforce the legal observation of it by law”.

It’s pretty clear what the first amendment means. But then again the American Atheists trying to prevent prayer or even suggesting it means that THEY are also trying to impose their religion up other people who want to pray. After all Atheism has been legally declared a religion.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
