As an atheist, I don’t worship any God. Why should this episcopalian bishop be allowed to FORCE his belief in “some sort of God” down all our throats.

I suggest he builds in contingencies for polytheists, atheists, agnostics, nihilists and people who’ve never really thought about it.

Perhaps some glib sentiment that makes to reference to religion or philosophy.

Thank you. And I mean it, too… I know how privilaged my non-believing butt is here in America!

Yes. We’re all priviledged compared to most of the rest of the world and I thank God as often as I am reminded of it. But, I always hold out hope for you Anna. I’m praying that you don’t remain and atheist much longer and join us in heaven when that time comes, where the scene is infinitely more pleasing than anything you could imagine in America. Thank you.

One of the best quotes ever on Hotair. Fantastic, Anna.

The less Christian this country gets, the more I fear for my personal safety.

Not sure why that is . . .

I have a theory…they both serve the same dark master..and neither know it..you can tell by the way they both hate jews…

I like the way you think!!

Interesting how Islamists are the embodiment of all the vile traits western liberals accuse Americans of being . . .

. . . Yet somehow they escape any criticism, whatsoever, in fact, western liberals bend over backwards to defend them.

Not sure why that is . . .

I love a good stoning. It really brings the community together for a common purpose.

on the other hand if we were a muslim society we wounldn’t have the atheists around to be such pests….

On the other hand, we’d get more exercise, what with the stonings and all.

The freedom they so enjoy here, was bought by the blood of the faithful…but beggars never appreciate what is given them.

yeah thank God for Charles Martel, and all those others who fough for millenia against the muslim hordes….

on the other hand if we were a muslim society we wounldn’t have the atheists around to be such pests….

…first, as an ordained man, he leaves his family for the sexual attentions of another man….

…then, he allows himself to be raised to the episcopacy, effectively rending not only his own church (some congregants of which, apparently, haven’t rushed head-long, lemming-like off the cliff of moral relativism), but the Anglican communion worldwide….

…then, this specimin objects to the Christian overtones of a prayer…given by an ostensibly Christian clergyman….

…how is this guy not labelled an apostate and laughted at whenever he shows up in his “via media” Angligan nightgown and pointy hat?

…it’s good that he’s in the Episcopal Church USA and not in a real church, the pronouncements and positions of which a thinking Christian might be mistaken for something to be taken seriously. This is the church, after all, which gave us all John Shelby Spong….

…there’s a bit of scripture that covers his “horror” at this multicultural attrocity:

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16

…Paul weren’t ashamed…I’m not ashamed…many here aren’t ashamed…apparently Bishop Robinson’s faulty wiring extends beyond his reproductive bits….

I am glad to be living here, it’s sharing this place with a bunch of religious bigots that I have the problem with, whether they are Christian, Muslim, Scientologist, whatever. as for the xmas holiday, you know what i mean, we have the separation of church and state in this country…..

Oh look, the bigot card! Quick, everyone feel sorry for the victim! /eyeroll

Some mean theist probably even *gasp* looked at you funny when you chewed them out for saying “God bless you.”

Be glad you are not in Europe, for people there are wising up to the sham that is organized religion and being religious is rightly mocked as akin to believing in Santa Claus….

Noneya on January 14, 2009 at 2:06 PM

Meanwhile, like any beggar, you take what the faithful has given you, and take freely but give little if any back.
Atheists don’t feed the hungry, comfort the abused, house the homeless, atheists don’t build hospitals, successful schools. The first hospitals and eventually the largest hospitals for aids were Catholic built and sponsored…no atheist took in aids, no atheist took in lepers, no atheist flies to the worst slums in the world and provides free medical care…but they sure reach out the hand of a beggar when they need medical treatment, or an education, the atheists are glad to take, and take, and take, and never give…they are the beggars of life.
The freedom they so enjoy here, was bought by the blood of the faithful…but beggars never appreciate what is given them.

oh you mean like THEO VAN GOGH ‘mocked’ islam, right??? go over and mock islam…see how long you live….

I don’t enjoy being insulted just because of my beliefs in God, but I’d rather die than live in a society where you weren’t allowed to insult me.

Super, because you’re gonna have TONS to live for during the reign of Great Leader.

as for the xmas holiday, you know what i mean, we have the separation of church and state in this country…..

Noneya on January 14, 2009 at 2:43 PM

Yes, we’re not a theocracy, and that is a great thing.

*shudder*

Be glad you are not in Europe, for people there are wising up to the sham that is organized religion and being religious is rightly mocked …….

Yes, it’s just a hoot how they’re mocking Muslims!

Bending over and mooning them!

Oh wait, they’re not really mooning them, are they?

Be glad you are not in Europe, for people there are wising up to the sham that is organized religion and being religious is rightly mocked …….

LOL, and look where that’s got/getting them!! They couldn’t/wouldnt exist anymore without us and wont for long after us. That was rich.

Oh, and since they are being now overrun with Islam, kinda makes your point null , doesn’t it then?

as for the xmas holiday, you know what i mean, we have the separation of church and state in this country…..

Feel free to work that day, people need their septic tanks cleaned on that day too.

Sounds like a good way of living. Merci, beaucoup (I’m working on my French, because … well, you know). Now, if we could just get Manly Rash back in the fold.

Jaibones on January 14, 2009 at 9:01 AM

Can’t say I’m a big fan of Manly Rash. That username makes me want to take a bath, but, uh, everybody’s entitled to their opinion and I’m always open to being friends with somebody.

A secular nation that has Christmas as a federal holiday?

No, while it’s not a theocracy, this is a Christian nation, and I’m glad that you’re glad to be living here, because it is truly a blessing.
