Atheist Sues to Thwart Inauguration Prayer (Newdow)

[Torog]

Even though im not american, i'm totally offended by that.

firstly, you say anyone that isnt raised a christian is "doomed to live Life, on a slippery slope of amoral values". That means anybody who doesnt raise their child as a christian must be a bad parent. Well, im sorry, but my mum aint a christian and she is definately a great parent. Secondly, im not a christian, and i still have morals - probably the same as you, although im not as prejudice as you.

Howdy GhostToker,

You're right-what I said was offensive,and I apologize.

The reason I said it was,was because certain behaviours and acts,are viewed as sins by religious values,and children of Faith, are taught not to commit sin. There's punishment for disobeying God..what punishment or deterrent,can your mother provide-that could ever equal God's punishment ? Why did you ever feel compelled to obey your parents or do good ?

What good can ever come,of placing Man as the highest authority ? How is it-that you can trust the word of a fellow human,to guide you and safe-guard your inalienable rights ?

Maybe I am somewhat prejudiced-I never claimed to be perfect..indeed-no Man is perfect..unlike God.

Have a good one...Torog
