But we couldn't have an atheist president, because without religion it's definitely impossible to develop a sense of morality. And obviously Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam are just as bad, because they're wrong religions.

Rather ironic that religion is one of the biggest things you'll be discriminated against for in the US these days.

It will probably take several decades for the United States to be comparatively secular to Europe. It seems the USA defies the notion that the more developed and prosperous a nation becomes, the less religious it will be.

I think it's sad and telling that our leaders are forced to be christian or else they must be run out of town. I've never prayed in my entire life and people who do, don't represent me. Rush is a goddamned asshole.

Curious picture. You had it embedded earlier. Either there's some Photoshop trickery, or God really does prefer Obama :^D

Obama was praising Allah!

No it was an actual ad that the Asbestos industry put out after the first terrorist plot agains tthe WTC when they laced it up with bombs back in the 90's.

Such a spit in the face that we still refuse to pay for medical treatment for our first responders though. Breathing in all that shit is going to cause some major problems in the next 10-20 years for a lot of people.

Oh thank god - I truly do apologize for being so rude then.
But yes - the lack of medical treatment for the "first responders" is truly horrifying!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Highly innappropriate if this is ment to mock the 9/11 attacks.

There was plenty of ASBESTOS.

Those buildings were coming down period because fire causes massive structures to implode and drop at freefall speeds within their own footprint.

Rush is a great band!!!

^ This 100 percent. It's hard for me to take candidates, presidents, and other politicians seriously when mythology is taken as fact.

WAIT?! You mean that it's all myth?... So the Fenris wolf, Thor, Odin, Zeus, Hades, Ra, Isis and all those are just myth and not fact? DAMN!

Head bowed ...

Who's to know??

Haha that is true, but I don't feel extremely welcomed, might be because if you go to church in Denmark, you truly are a christian. I only know 1-2 practicing Christians. It is highly abnormal to abstain from alcohol and sex where I am from.
- But I think I might go there for christmas if I have the time, since I generally like the "atmosphere" it provides. And I do go there for funerals to pay my respects.

[snusgetter]

In Denmark people pray either way - Some look up, and some look down.
Bow to pay your respects, and raise your head to pray.

But I'm not a religious so I don't have much say in this - but I find it to be quite intense bigotry that the common thougth is that you can't lead the United States if you aren't a Christian... Personally I've only been to church 7 times, and that was by force from my public school. I do enjoy going to church but I am hardly welcome as I am not religious.
