Muslims Give Obama Highest Job Approval; Mormons, Lowest
Jews and those with no religious affiliation also give Obama above-average ratings

Somehow, this is not surprising.

Somehow, this doesn’t surprise me.

South Bend’s city bus system, TRANSPO, has bowed down and agreed to permit ads on buses by the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign that say, “You can be good without God.”

From their website.

Our ads were supposed to go up last Monday, in time for President Barack Obama’s speech at Notre Dame, but the ads were delayed when TRANSPO decided to review the matter. The Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign had a contract with Burkhart stating the ads would be placed last Monday, May 11, or within a 5 day leeway period. As of today, because the ads are not yet up, that contract has been violated by Burkhart.

Hey, freedom of speech and all that. Hopefully some Christian groups will counter with other ads. Bloomington’s city bus service killed their attempts at similar ads and of course, they filed a lawsuit.

Me, I’m better with God.

How they continue to find the ambition to challenge anything with the word GOD in it amazes me.

Atheist Group Files Lawsuit Against Prayer at Presidential Inauguration

The head of an atheist group told FOX News Radio on Tuesday that by allowing a prayer at President-elect Obama’s inauguration, the government is subjecting atheists and agonostics to someone else’s religious beliefs.

How is this subjecting anyone to anyone else’s beliefs. If you don’t like it, don’t go or turn off the damn television.

The head of an atheist group that has filed a lawsuit against prayer at Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration says the government is picking a winner between “believers” and “those who don’t believe” and subjecting atheists and agnostics to someone else’s religious beliefs.

Dan Barker, co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, has joined with Michael Newdow, who fought to have the words “under God” removed from the Pledge of Allegiance, in a federal lawsuit seeking to enjoin the Presidential Inaugural Committee from sponsoring prayers at the official inauguration.

God damn America? Seems to be a common practice these days.

The Family-Friendly Easter Bomb Hunt
Near the White House, Activists Lacing the Fun With a Political MessageBy Sue Anne Pressley Montes

Seven-year-old Alvin Mitchell worked intently yesterday on what looked to be a blue balloon wrapped around a tennis ball. It was a fake version of a cluster bomb, and the real thing, he pronounced, can “blow you up and kill you.”

The fake bombs Alvin and a dozen other children were making at a peace workshop will be put to use Monday in Lafayette Square. As hundreds attend the White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn, a smaller group will gather at the park on the north side for what is being billed as a “family-friendly Easter cluster-bomb hunt.”

Raising yet another generation of cowards and whiners…

Sheesh

This plate is now available! It is hard to decide between “In God We Trust” or “Support Or Troops” but both make quite a statement.

“Almighty God, we come before you today humbled by the magnitude of the responsibilities of this office. May you help us to realize that those who have been given the greatest responsibility need the greatest guidance. We pray you will show us what is good, and what is required of us. We pray for your insight, your compassion and your strength. Amen.”

Indiana House members opened their session on Monday with this short, pre-approved prayer read by House Speaker Pat Bauer (D) of South Bend. This was the first time since November 2005 when U.S. District Judge David Hamilton sided with the ACLU of Indiana, ruling that prayers offered from the podium should be non-sectarian and should not invoke Jesus Christ or endorse any particular religion.

This is interesting, to say the least. So, the Islamic Facist Terrorist can train their kids to die in the name of Allah, what the hell? Full story here.

Johnny B. Goodie-two-shoes at Leftovers in Aboite turned me on to this and while I think it was way too one-sided in the "questions asked" arena, it still gave me the answer I already knew.

You are a Believer

You believe in God and your chosen religion. Whether you’re Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu.. Your convictions are strong and unwavering. You think your religion is the one true way, for everyone.
