nailed it.

:/

When has America ever forced people to be Christian?

The teachings of Christianity in school. Of course, it's the Right-wing who pursue that.

That isin't forcing people, and are you saying they should teach athiesm instead?

[image deleted]I was never taught about Christianity in public schools.

I didn't happen to me ether.

Maybe he went to Catholic school?

They shouldn't teach any religion/belief. America is a nation of Freedom of Religion.

I agree.

Science should be stressed. Which includes evolution and the expanding theory of the universe. Both of which directly contradict xtianity and most other deist religions. In that respect yes, atheism should be taught. And no religious "fairness" should be considered when developing curriculum or text book content. We don't have counterarguments considered when discussing gravity or the model of the solar system. Religion needs to be KEPT OUT of public education completely.

Yeah. They're allowed to teach about religions. No different than learning about islam.

Now, forcing you to practice it is already illegal

New's flash, not all republicans are Christian.

I do know there are atheists in the Right-Wing as well.. they're very rare though..

When will the new multi-faith treasury notes come out? Or will I have to go on passing god notes when I participate in this American economy?

Clearly you have no idea of why god is mentioned on our money, it has nothing to do with worship and more to do with making the Russians look bad during the cold war.

In god we trust was added to US currency in 1864. As per the treasury dept website. You are thinking of the addition of "under god" to the pledge of allegiance, which was intended to separate us from the godless communists. You clearly have no idea that it doesn't matter why in either case. The government shall make no law with respect to the establishment of a religion. First amendment.

My point was "Christianizing" everything about our currency was done to make the communists look godless. Clearly you have no idea but non of that has anything to do with the "First Amendment" as it in NO WAY establishes a religion.

Whoops. I mean to say by nearly a century. Not over a century.

Clearly you have no idea that when that phrase began appearing on money there was no such thing as communism as we know it today. Clearly you have no idea how to check the website I cited to see how wrong you are. Clearly you have no idea that it was entirely done as a response to public pressure to acknowledge xtianity. And clearly you have no idea that the First Amendment addresses exactly that. Clearly you have no idea that 1864 predates the USSR by more than a century. Clearly.

Wow, so confused, yet so sure of yourself, I think there is a lesson in there.

First off I wasn't talking about god being put on coins due to a statement against the " Godlessness of Communism ", that was why it was put on our paper money in 1957 just like it was put in our Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, and yes, Communism did exist then, pick up a book and look it up.

You keep repeating that I don't understand the first amendment and yet its obvious you have no idea of what it actually is or says. Because you ignorantly keep implying that it means you can't write anything god related on our currency, CLEARLY if you read it, you would know, that's not true.

Due to your inability to process what you read, maybe moving your lips slowly when you read this will help you:

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

That being said, please, please, please, feel free to show me how printing god nonsense on currency is "MAKING A LAW respecting an establishment of religion" or how it is "impeding, abridging, infringing or interfering," with anyone's rights of freedom of speech, press, assembly, worship or redress. CLEARLY, you can't because CLEARLY, your someone who can't admit you have no idea of what you are talking about.

Wow. That's a lot of words. Congratulations. You've given birth to a butt baby. Google "in god we trust on US coins." The first result at the very top of the list is a link to treasury.gov. You will learn (maybe) that the ridiculous phrase was imprinted on a two cent coin in 1864. Which is what I stated in my first response to you. This change came about by an act of Congress. (A law.) Secretary Salmon P. Chase urged congress to enact the measure because of public pressure he was receiving from US citizens. When you replied that I clearly didn't understand you were talking out your ass just like every self assured word you've typed since then. That religious psyco-babble doesn't belong on our federally created fiat currency. Clearly you have no idea what I'm talking about because all I'm doing is stating some facts. Sorry the facts don't support your view, but it's not my fault.

A lot of words, wow, what a surprise. I guess to the reading impaired or people with poor comprehension skills it would seem like a lot of words.

Sorry if you ignore my facts and then go on to insert your nonsense into a conversation that is obviously above your head. Mental illness must be a hard thing for you to deal with, good luck with that.

And again you prove you don't understand the second amendment, just reading what you say can make someone feel as if they are getting dumber.

You said: "That religious psyco-babble doesn't belong on our federally created fiat currency." Again, the second amendment is not violated by writing ANYLTHING on money including religious nonsense.

WHY? Because it's NOT a law or a requirement, it does not take away someone's rights of redress, assembly, speech or anything else. Get it genius?

Writing religious nonsense on money is not demanding or taking anything away or creating a law that one must respect or obey it. Only a dummy would think that. Ooops, sorry, I mean a special person like you.

Again, when you read this, move your lips real slow, maybe that will help you.

P.s. I kept the words small and the reply short just so as not to confuse you.

Yeah what a short reply. Thanks. We weren't discussing the second amendment. (The right to keep and bear arms) We were discussing the first amendment (Freedom of speech and freedom of religion ) Too bad nobody realizes that you can't have freedom of religion without freedom from religion.

But it is a fact that Congress enacted a law establishing xtianity as a religion when they they passed this egregious law. Again the facts are not on your side. Get over it. You sound like a 14 year old. I'm done trying to show you that facts mean more than your beliefs. Good bye.

Making an error and by saying the "second amendment" instead of first amendment does not invalidate my argument. It's certainly not as silly as your mistake.

You said "But it is a fact that Congress enacted a law establishing xtianity as a religion when they they passed this egregious law." Not sure what "they they means".

But none the less, that is a very uninformed interpretation of the first amendment to say the least.

Again, feel free to point out where or how the first amendment established Christianity as a religion when Christianity existed well before the first amendment and no where does the first amendment prohibite placing god on money. But feel free to point it out.

Maybe this will help:

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

Fair point :P

. . . What? Gay marriages is legal, women have equal (or even greater) rights, and we are a constitutional republic. I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

Now it is.

I thought you were describing a Middle Eastern Country, until you said "Christian". Seriously, replace "Christian" with "Muslim". Now the meme makes sense.

I don't think Christians are trying to get rid of women's rights. The reason they didn't have it wasn't because of Christians, it was because the industrial revolution hadn't happened yet.
