If you're an atheist, that is...

[Galemp]

Wow...

I dunno what's scarier, the fact that this is on the books, or the fact that efforts to get it repealed are dying in committee.

[iamzack]

Religion makes people retarded. :[

[Polpolion]

What about agnostics?

[Turambar]

agnostics are just atheists without conviction.

[iamzack]

Agnostics are atheists with sense.

[Herra Tohtori]

What in the name of undead horde...

"No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any court."

[iamzack]

no muzzies ether

[Rick James]

Ye Gods. It's like the further southwest one goes in the States, the more retarded the average person is.

[Rian]

Arkansas is more central-southeast. (Not to say the western states don't have issues of their own.)

And at the same time, christians complain about being criticized about their beliefs and claim that their religion is being discriminated against.

WOW I WONDER WHY

 

[Dark Hunter]

I don't see what everyone's so upset for. That same article says that the federal government considers all such laws null and void, and unless I'm mistaken, federal law trumps state law if there is a dispute.

And at the same time, christians complain about being criticized about their beliefs and claim that their religion is being discriminated against.

This particular case is hardly discrimination against us. If anything, keeping that law in place would be discrimination against everyone else. I am a Christian, and I can certainly understand that such a law is outdated in an age where atheism (or, rather, non-Christian belief in general) is much more prominent than it was back then.

[BloodEagle]

I'm going to have to form my own religion just so these nutjobs will stop making me look bad.

Now if you will excuse me, I have a goat to slaughter.

[Bobboau]

it's hard to believe a document written in such a progresive time as 1874 would have such language in it.

it's most likely unenforced and unenforceable, if it every got acted on it'd be supremecourted out of existence in an instant.

[Hellstryker]

Agnostics are atheists with sense.

Thank you. Also, this is ****ing stupid. Really, that's all I have to say. My brain is too confused and disgusted to elaborate more right now.

[watsisname]

SIGH.


Also that period appears to be a rectangle.

You completely and totally missed my point. Congratulations

Have you never seen a US election? Implying that your opponent isn't Christian is done all the time as if it's a requirement for public office. Cough. Obama the secret Muslim.

It's like he thinks the truth actually matters in an election.
