Jason S. Global Moderator Posted January 29, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted January 29, 2014 i guarantee most of the Presidents have been religious only for show. They just claim to be whatever to get votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted January 29, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted January 29, 2014 Of course I wouldn't! First the atheists get a president, next thing you know they're passing a rule about the separation of church and state! Heresy, if you ask me...

Knife Party Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just curious about this subject in the neowin forum. whats this obsession with "atheist" as 'other'. Don't understand. Being atheist doesn't mean somehow you don't have morals, or beliefs or character or belonging.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted January 29, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sure, why not, we voted a Muslim into office and didn't elect a Mormon, can't worse than being a Mormon, right? Well we seem to have drawn the line a Mormons as not good to be President, anything more exotic than that will have a real hard time gaining any traction For the love of... can you get over the 'Obama is a socialist Muslim born in Kenya!' conspiracies already?

compl3x Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 B: what is with all the Atheist attack posts lately. Not really attacks. Odd questions, perhaps. Maybe the OP should go into the official religion topic and just put a whole bunch of questions about atheism/atheists there. "Would you ever go into business with an atheist?" "Would you ever allow an atheist to babysit your children?" "Would you be comfortable with an atheist teacher teaching your children?" "How would you feel about an atheist marrying into your family?" "Would you let an atheist prepare your food?" "Would you listen to or watch an atheist celebrity?" "How would you feel if atheists moved in next door to you?" "Would you let an atheist paint your house?" Or just one basic question: "Describe the level of mistrust, hostility, and hatred do you have towards atheists" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Religion and politics are designed to be separate. It doesn't matter what religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. they are. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper11 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would happily vote for a president regardless of religion, etc, as long as I trusted that they would not let their beliefs lead them to try and use the government to force that belief or attack those that don't share that belief. The government has no place in such matters. I'm not saying they can't be influenced by their beliefs, because they will be, just that they remember that they represent more than just people that agree with them on various issues and government is not the way to project your own beliefs.

+Raze Subscriber² Posted January 29, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted January 29, 2014 Should atheists take religious people seriously? Only when they have a bible pointed at your head!

Wapoz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Maybe OP should ask himself why are religious people so obsessed with atheist? Or for that matter, anyone who is not of their religion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
