Freeps go batshit crazy over Congressman admitting self to be atheist

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

The backstory: the Secular Coalition for America started a public search for the highest office holder in the USA who doesn't believe in God. It turned out to be a Democratic Congressman from California, Pete Stark: http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/03/13/ap3513933.html

Now watch the lava flow of hate:

"Godless liberals". Now we know its more than a scurrilous epithet. It has the ring of truth to it.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

He should be impeached and removed from office. Our founders thought so. Any man that believes in no higher authority than the laws of Man, is an amoral scoundrel and is unfit for public office.

The battle lines are being drawn more distinctly every day. You name it: traditional values vs. lib, God vs. environmentalism (global warming, etc.), straight vs. gay, belief vs. nonbelief, Christianity vs. Islam (and their ample supporters in the Democratic party), property owners vs. government trough-feeders, the list goes on.

(Responding to someone who reminded him of that pesky Constitution)

That was about a specific creed. Atheists were always considered unfit. Read the founders own writings, not what some revisionist historians say they meant.

Secular groups applauded Rep. Pete Stark for publicly acknowledging he does not believe in a supreme being.

Clearly, the only "Supreme Being" Stark believes in is himself.

And hopefully his constituants will take that into account when next he runs for office.

Don't believe in God?

Anybody that cannot look to the Heavens and the billions of stars overhead on any clear dark night and NOT see the hand of God is a blithering idiot.

This guy doesn't deserve to be a United States Congressman. In my book you don't trust atheists........

Oh yes, Stark has a god or gods; just not the sort ordinarily referred to. Ask him his view on climate change, on the New Deal - you may find him worshipful as he responds.

Ohhhh, the New Deal, that evil FDR thing. You're just mad he beat the Nazis.

Much, much more where those came from.

1. Idiots.

They can't even follow their own book.

[smartvoter]

2. ROTF. They could have the definition of hypocrisy on their mirrors and still not get it. nt

3. I think it's funny

At least we know none of these freeps have any brains worth speaking about--it's the idiots in the world who manage to keep the service industry going. There are obviously few brain surgeons on the right--and, I'm sure, few whose IQ is anywhere near "above average."

We really do need them around, though; we haven't gotten to the point where we've got robots to do all the menial or dirty jobs, so these sub-human freepers will always find work. :rofl:

4. Wasn't it Bush Sr. that said atheists shouldn't be citizens?

As far as that New Deal quip. The freepers are still pissed that the one great war was won by a Democrat and they've tried since to win their own for personal glory (See Bush especially).
