  • American Theocracy and Decline

    How Christianity owns American culture and is successfully building an American Theocracy is described in this wonderful speech from 1972.

    See how much has already been lost. With theocracy comes intolerance and decline. It is time for American atheists to stand up and be counted and take back their country from the theocrats.

    You mean the country that was founded on this principle:

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
    Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

      "Take back their country from the theocrats"? Maybe you mean atheist Indians. Nah, that can't be.

        Your paranoia is always amusing to read about, FF.

          Actually, the idea of trying to hyper micro-manage society, which is predominantly expressed the most from liberal ideology (i.e. gun control, speech control, food control, economic control, etc.), is a sure sign of the fall of society. When you have anti-God groups dictating what a Christian owner can do with his business, or what a Christian owner can say in public without being ousted from his business, that isn't a sign of any theocratic control on society, my friend.

            Conservatives want these things too.

            or what a Christian owner can say in public without being ousted from his business
            That's the free market.

                  I do love how the things liberals rail against the most are usually the things that are the key to defeating them. I move for a theocratic patriarchy specifically focused on restricting women's choices once the liberal state is finished exhausting and murdering itself.

                    Yeah, you and your ilk are incredibly tolerant.

                        They love telling everyone how tolerant they are and everyone else should be. What gets left out is by being tolerant they too often mean anything that they agree with.

                        I'm always still in trouble again

                              This is complete nonsense FF. For the vast majority of our history the Christian faith was much more prominent than it is today. In my state stores could not open on the Sabbath (blue laws). I can personally remember teacher led prayers in the class room. And in all these years we were still attracting the brightest and best from around the world and we were the world center of innovation. Mr. Chemerinsky is an idiot.
