Why are "atheists" offended by "G-d" ?

It's best to keep Gov't as religion-neutral possible (in my opinion). If you fail to do this, you are opening the door to authoritarianism and a government that will eventually want to control even the most private areas of our life, including bedroom practices, marriage practices, etc.

I think that's exactly what our Founding Fathers were trying to do. Their experience was the single state church of Great Britain - The Church of England - and the onus it placed on the citizenry. It appears their belief was that everyone should be able to practice whatever religion they wished to without government interference.

Sadly, the left has taken these meanings to impose the exact same censorship they were trying to negate.

I think the majority of so-called atheists are really socialists and progressives who are trying to further their agendi through lies and other tactics.

Tyrants always fear organized religions as they provide an outlet for the masses under their control.

Ever notice how the same people who cry about "separation of church and state" are the same ones who demand more handouts for minorities and other "disadvantaged" groups?

I'm not really going to take sides here too in depth, however isn't separation of church and state a good thing?

Is it a great thing for a government - who has taxes paid by athiests, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc - to be representative of a single religion, and to create laws that would not otherwise be created if not for a belief/fear of a specific god? I don't think so.

That can and is happening right now without any religion being involved. RIght now, the 'religion' of choice is being masked as 'fairness'. Typically religion is removed whenever the state wants to assume all power over the people, history has proven that out.

I am not afraid GOD exists, I welcome God. But since the crucifixion, it’s been stuff like the plagues, inquisitions, crusades, holocausts and mass murders. Were is GOD now? I don’t mean that in a critical way, we sort of need GOD to show up NOW. Please.

That sentence makes no sense at all.

And I wanna hear about the lies and "other tactics". Examples please. Or are you just spewing dumb shit for the sake of hearing yourself talk?
