someone doesn't know a word and is stupid enough to think they know all words? I am amazed. You are the fail ron

I reign over thee, saith the Lord of the Earth, in power exalted above and below, in whose
hands the sun is a glittering sword and the moon a through-thrusting fire, who measureth your
garments in the midst of my vestures, and trusseth you up as the palms of my hands, and
brighten your vestments with Infernal light.
I made ye a law to govern the holy ones, and delivered a rod with wisdom supreme. You
lifted your voices and swore your allegiance to Him that liveth triumphant, whose beginning
is not, nor end cannot be, which shineth as a flame in the midst of your palaces, and reigneth
amongst you as the balance of life!
Move therefore, and appear! Open the mysteries of your creation! Be friendly unto me, for I
am the same! - the true worshipper of the highest and ineffable King of Hell!
1. Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic
vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than
those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual
development", has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or
emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all
these years!
Yes I live in Arkansas

What the hell kind of word is "revulsive"?

I agree with this completely. They should also ban Christians and Jews. And Muslims, and Hindus, and Buddhists. Only Taoists should be permitted to hold public office in Arkansas. You know, since we're wiping our butts with the Constitution we might as well take it to the limit.
Seriously, "ron of FL"... read a book once in a while, it'll do you some good. No, a different book. [facepalm]

This is one of the most blantant forms of supremacism I've read about. It really does make me wonder why they call the USA a "land of liberty" when civil freedoms are restricted to those who are rational and reject unsubstantiated speculation from religion. Reading one of the higher comments "Atheism is evil and destructive", I'd like to point out how offensive and ignorant that is. Firstly, calling a certain group or viewpoint "evil" where its ideals don't focus on anything malicious is downright misrepresentation. Secondly, he mentioned atheism being "lower than communism." I laugh at the logical impossibility of this! Communism is a political concept that is atheistic! So to say that atheism is worse than atheism with political (mostly disagreeable) concepts is nonsense. Unless this person unwittingly supports communist ideals, minus the atheism?
I'd also like to ask how atheism can be evil when it rationally rejects beings that are blindly believed to exist by religions? I find Abrahamic religions to be evil. I'm not saying followers of the religions are, but the origional tenets that have been distorted to make a brainwashable "family-friendly" cult. Just look at Deuteronomy 28, for a long-winded example of how malicious this "Omnibenevolent" god can be.

Hurrah great news. But why have not all the states banned this evil of atheism.
there needs to be more. More states should ban this revulsive atheism which is lower than communism.

If an admitted atheist were to be charged with a crime and denied the right to testify on his own behalf, should the court or a jury be permitted to pass judgment on any act committed by the atheist.
If the court limits the ability of a defendant to present information or testimony, that court is denying the accused of due process.
Your thoughts?
