    “We’re going to stop watering down American history. We’re going to teach the truth. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation, and Texas is a Christian state,” said Hall, a Republican who is a pastor in Springtown. He said the Bible has had a “remarkable impact on our culture, our societies and our laws.”

    No, you fucking brainstem, this nation was not founded as a xtian nation.

    And no, “the” bible did not have much impact on our laws. Find one mention of it in the Constitution.

    And then look at the First Amendment vs. the so-called “first commandment”. They are in direct conflict with one another. In this free country, I’m well within my rights to worship any god I want, or no god at all.

    Your rules are for YOU and those in your book club. They don’t apply to everyone. No one, least of all minorities in a captive audience, should be obligated to have to listen to your blatantly stupid and wrong bullshit.

      If religious people could read they would be very angry with your comment. But then again, if they could read they likely wouldn’t be religious.

          What am I being pretentious about exactly? Do you know what the word means?

            This holier than thou attitude that equates religion solely with ignorance and hatred. Essentially blaming all of the world’s problems on the feet of the religious when it’s usually just the greedy and prideful. Its like that episode of South Park where they love the smell of their own farts.

            Internet atheism is ripe with pretentiousness which is weird because in person it’s usually quieter and a lot more nuanced. And before you go there I don’t subscribe to any religion but I don’t feel the need to call the religious stupid
