The fundamentalist christianist god is really weak and powerless. He just can't seem to stop these damn atheists from putting up signs that get fundamentalist christianists all bent out of shape.
Because their god is so weak, fundamentalist christianists have put together a "national advocacy group" called In God We Trust, which is a misnomer if there ever was one.
In God We Trust was established precisely because the folks who established it DO NOT trust in God!
You can tell because they're in an uproar over signs by the Freedom from Religion Foundation which suggest that gods, angels, devils, heaven and hell do not exist and that religion is myth and superstition "that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."
Bishop Council Nedd, (who ever heard of the name, "Council Nedd"?) the chief and very righteous poohbah of In God We Trust is UPSET!
"In God We Trust will oppose any effort to place these signs in any state capital or in any government location in Washington, D.C.," he said. "These signs have nothing in common with a menorah, a nativity scene or a Christmas tree. They are an attempt by anti-religious bigots to equate a belief in God with enslavement and to ridicule the majority of Americans who believe in God."
Ah, yes. Actually, the signs have something to do with a Christmas tree, for Christmas trees derive from pagan celebrations. And the people of the Freedom from Religion Foundation are not bigots like Bishop Nedd is a bigot, as they simply want to present an alternative viewpoint. The bigotry is all on the side of the bishop who hate atheists with a passion and thus tries to deprive them of their First Amendment rights. Furthermore, the sign does not "equate a belief in God with enslavement [other than in a mental or spiritual sense] and it does not ridicule anyone.
Nedd is not too bright. He whines "Why do these zealots have the right to post signs on public property attacking their countryment?"
Well, bishop, as we said, the signs do not "attack" anyone, and if you think you have the right to erect religious signs and figures on public property, then those who disagree with you have the same right. Read the damn Constitution!
Ultimately, it comes down to irony. Bishop Nedd and his cohorts simply do NOT trust in God! That's why they are out in the cold, secular wind, blowing hot against atheists and other nogoodniks: God doesn't have the power to stop the infidels by herself.
Or maybe God doesn't care? That would sure put hair back on a bald head!
Actually, this nonsense should stop. Throw all this crap out of our hallowed government buildings and off of our hallowed government property.
And Bishop Nedd should go home and drink a couple of gallons of eggnog and mellow out! Especially since the FFR had no plans to erect their sign in the nation's capitol in the first place!!!!

But you must admit, its not a bad idea. ;-)
I see no reason to responds to those that insist god needs their help. Either god can or cannot make any changes god desires, including Capitalizing the “g”. if god chooses to do so.
God is or isn’t all powerful and needs no help from bigots that do not read well. I am still looking for the accrual quotations from t he Bible, in full and in context that speaks of gays, homosexuality, same sex marriage etc that everyone says Jesus was so opposed to. I do know that Leviticus is now ignored except in a few instances where he wrote something people now decide are the only quotes worth repeating. Did god erase the old laws? If so, how do w e know that?
Let us stop wasting time on opinion rather than repeatable or proven facts.

We're making fun of African-American names now? We really should stick to the substance. Why don't we just call him the n-word?
Anon...
You've got to be kidding. What the hell is an "African-American" name? And, unless you knew the guy personally, how would you know he was African American? I just thought it was a funny name.
Like Jacob.
Jesus H. Christ, get a life!

I have met a number of white South Africans that have become US citizens. They too are now African Americans as are their children. Is it possible to get rid of the hyphens as they do not describe anything specifically? I apparently insulted some lady that kept insisting she was German–Irish-American. I asked if the
German meant she was more Einstein than Nazi, or was she a Protestant or Catholic Irish person and did she prefer drinking to fighting. She almost took my head off. She then continued to try to get me to tell her what kind of name Poris was. Since some of my relatives are De Poris, I told her I did not know. My dad’s family arrived in the USA around 1860 and married a several generational American born lady. I insist I am an American and do not care to use a series of hyphens that tell me little about anything. I suspect the lady is nuts regardless of what hyphen she uses to excuse her behavior. Her questions reminded me of the
Gestapo movies. Had I been a descendent of the WW2 European underground Germans, Poles, Jews, etc. I guess I would have killed her to silence her. She would have understood that.
