I'm not willing to throw out our godless Constitution for your religious views. Tell the extremists to stop killing people in the name of your god if you want any kind of serious change.

Tenn. demonstrates trend of looser gun laws as "god-given right of self defense" ("I want my Kuntry back" Remember that quote? I think that lady was running with her gun in the house and shot her last damn tooth out. You're not supposed to run with guns. The scissor rule applies to guns too. Why is the South so obsessed with guns and god?)

NYC Mayor on deadly shootout: 'Too many guns'
(but...but....Tennessee...said...looser gun laws is their "god-given right"...but...more people have looser gun laws like not having a gun safe, anyone can buy one, who cares about background checks, liberal democrats something, liberal leftist agenda something something, fill in the blank, blah blah blah...people break into houses....steal god-given gun...shoot police officers and other law abiding citizens with their new illegal 'god-given' weapon... I guess they could justify it as their "god-given right" too? Liberals are only trying to save the "sanctity of gun ownership" just like the religious right with their efforts to save the "sanctity of marriage".)

(DUMB! If atheists are ever hunted, we can draw crosses on our foreheads and say we're one of those fancy Jesus-atheists that have cross birthmarks so we can be spared)

Harassment across Arab world drives women inside

British priest: Shoplifting by poor sometimes OK (It isn't okay. And it's not okay that the church has all that money they collect from believers to 'help' the poor and the money doesn't ever seem to make it to them, so they have to steal to get by and then priests like this guy have to okay it because he knows the church doesn't do what it should.)

Many Americans haunted by ghosts, look to astrology
(If you see or even believe in ghosts: you need to grow up! You're not a little kid anymore. Stop being an idiot. If you are grown up, mentally, and you still see ghosts, you need to go to a doctor, get medicated; if that doesn't work, you should be sleeping in a padded cell so that you don't bring any harm to yourself or to anyone else.)

Mosque: Families of detained men struggling

Rick Warren asks for $900,000, gets $2.4 Million

Another NJ church group on way home from Haiti (This makes me mad! Churches send missionaries to 3rd world countries to "save" people and when they need assistance the most, the church puts their tail behind their legs and run away as fast as they can. When the going gets tough, the churches get running. Missionaries, you're just going home to fuel back up right? You're coming back with all that $2.4 Million dollars Rick Warren just begged from his congregation, right?)

Air Force Academy says religious climate improving (Christian discriminating against other religions and atheists? But I thought Christians said that they were the persecuted ones? I guess they lied. I mean, they got their story wrong, again!)

Christians try to reverse Mexican gay marriage law (Same story, different day. Christians always want to be allowed THEIR individual rights, but never want anyone else to have their own individual rights. Yawn. )

Catholic Portugal set to legalize gay marriage (Are the American Christians already packing their suitcases with their anti-gay protest signs yet? They don't know how to read a map! The Texas school board probably had the world geographical lesson taken out of the text books and replaced with a map of Jerusalem so the kids & teachers can salivate over them while thinking about being raptured. )

DC court rejects bid for a gay marriage referendum (Anti-gay Pastor shut down by DC court. You know the story...Christian's want their individual rights but no one else is allowed their individual rights..blah..blah..blah...same ol' story!)

Jury selection ongoing in abortion slaying trial

Officials: Anti-Muslim images are protected speech and any religious criticism is  protected speech, even if it is offensive. (So I can legally say "F*ck religion" and it's protected under free speech? That's great! Well then, F*CK RELIGION!)

Atheists being persecuted by Christians. Lawsuit threatened over atheist councilman in NC. An opponent says "My father was a Baptist minister. I'm a Christian man. I have a problem with people who don't believe in god." said Edgerton. (And I have a problem with treasonous people that don't believe and respect the US Constitution!)

Muslim radicalization gains momentum in US: analysts

Colorado man: Pot charge violates religious rights (Christians drink wine and eat bread but I'm assuming they don't use that excuse to break the law to drink and drive. Why would we bend the law for one guy's religion and then purposely violate everyone's individual rights by not allowing them to smoke pot? Laws rule over religion. Sacrificing people is part of some religions but it's illegal here in our land of laws, therefore, the law overrides religion! Tuff!)

Jet diverts to Philly over teen passenger's prayer (No religion belongs on planes. It scares the hell out of everyone. Can't we just be secular in the air until the plane lands?)

Status of face-covering veils Muslim around Europe

French call for veil ban in public buildings

Haiti detains Americans taking kids across border (There has been a ban on adoptions per the Haitian government. This church tried to take these kids out of the country to "save" them? What gives you the right to stomp into a foreign country and just take their children? What about their laws? The kids' rights? For the last time people, your religious beliefs do NOT override laws. We're not cavemen anymore. We can't stomp into somebodies camp ground and forcefully take their women and children anymore!!!!)
