Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Atheist Group Files Lawsuit Against Prayer at Presidential Inauguration
Atheist Group Files Lawsuit Against Prayer at Presidential Inauguration

Quote:
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.

The 34-page legal complaint similarly seeks to enjoin Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr., from adding the phrase "So help me God" to the presidential oath of office.

Article 2, Section 1; US Constitution:
Quote:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
There's nothing about God in there, so it's clearly a case of the individual choosing how to word the affirmation. Of all the things for atheists to sue for, this is pretty dumb.

Atheists, try these:
Creationism is being taught in public science classrooms, which is really not appropriate for atheist children. Some states (Arkansas, Maryland, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas) have laws that require belief in God in order to hold a public office.

But he chose to have a minister/pastor/whatever say a prayer during the inauguration. That's what they are throwing the fit about.

Evolution is a Religion also, One that should NOT be taught as Fact as so many Text books try. It is not even a good Theory! Way to much evidence of a
World wide Flood that refutes it alone!
