I want a Goddamned Atheist President in my lifetime !

[RadiDem]

Rant off

[FARAFIELD]

1. IM A CATHOLIC

Just another good reason to vote for Kerry

[footinmouth]

11. I'm a heathen

and I feel left out. Nobody ever panders to me.

[Buck Rabbit]

20. I think heathens throw the best parties!

feel better?

[LynnTheDem]

28. Pander

just for you. :)

[onager]

2. That makes two of us.

Atheists, that is. Not Catholics.

[Amaya]

3. Amen

nt

[displacedtexan]

4. Me, tooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it's not a deal breaker for me.

[demothinker]

5. Goddamned Atheist?

Isn't that oxymoronic? After all, how can an Atheist be God-damned if they don't believe there's a god? ;)

[Spiffarino]

21. I guess he means

___damned!

And God said, "Yup, I don't exist!"

[0rganism]

25. if there was a god, the atheist would be damned... maybe?

Not really sure.

[noamnety]

6. I understand the rant

I'm okay with kerry though, because I think he honestly respects atheists.

but it would be nice if a person could get elected without having to trot out their faith for public approval.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

7. Me too

and I'm a Christian. It'd be nice not to have this "NO! I'M MORE RELIGIOUS" bullshit argument anymore.

Sheesh. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE RELIGION OF THE PRESIDENT!!!

[CityHall]

8. Absolutely. I'm so sick of this crap.

At least Kerry doesn't let it interfere with his decisions. Bush seems to think the world will end soon enough that there won't be any consequences.

[Champion Jack]

9. YEAH

[hippiechick]

10. Hear Hear !!

:hippie:

[NewJeffCT]

12. We may have had one a long time ago, but not again any time soon

The country has become more religious over the past century and it is now a litmus test. Something would have to change for an atheist to get in.

I think we may have had a covert 1 or 2 in the early days of the country.

[politicat]

13. Doesn't have to be atheist, just private about religion.

But yeah, I'd LOVE an atheist president.

Or agnostic or humanist or UU or Buddhist...

No more Christians. They've had their chance. Step aside boys. Give the freethinking girls a chance.

Pcat

[johnnie]

14. I say believe or don't

Makes no nevermind to me. As long as they don't base all decisions on their own faith, or non-faith. An Atheist who makes decisions for the Country on their non belief is just as bad.

[chum]

15. No invisible cloud being

as Bartcop would say.

All hail Bartcop!

[onager]

22. I'd settle for simple tolerance, and not the knee-jerk...

...assumption that "atheist" = communist or satanist or some other damnfool irrelevant thing.

I like to tell my Christian friends that we're not that far apart on religion.

In the world today, there are about 500 deities being worshipped somewhere.

They don't believe in 499 of 'em, and I don't believe in one more.

[scarface2004]

16. me too too

the government should be an atheist

[cmf]

17. I wish we could just take religion out of the equation.

It freaking pisses me off that religion gets brought up in politics at all. I don't care if you're Atheist, a Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Baha'i, whatever. Your religous beliefs should have nothing to do with how good of a president you are.

[Ladyhawk]

18. Me too!!!!!!!!

[Zero Division]

19. I want anybody that's not a mainstream Christian

I don't think we'd even be able to put a Deist, which a few of the founding fathers were, in the WH. It's sad.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. I think they both turned me into an atheist tonight

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. I want one that does not play golf.

nt

[RebelYell]

26. I'm an atheist

I have nothing against the Prez having a religion. But I do NOT want a Prez who thinks he talks to a God or THINKS a God talks to him. That's NUTS.

Do another line, George.

[RafterMan]

27. Grrrr

Sometimes I think it'd be worth putting up with Communism just so we could get the godless bit that goes with it.

Okay.

I'm not saying that for another three weeks.
