[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it very interesting that the Delegates at the Democratic Convention voted not 1, not 2, but 3 times to remove God from the party platform.

Luke 22:34 Jesus answered, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."

Matthew 10:33 Jesus said, “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven”.

well, the goal of government isn't heaven.  I say again, we do NOT live in a theocracy.

I know plenty of atheists, humanists and agnostics who love this country.  It doesn't make them any less of an American, does it?

Very few atheists in America. But go ahead and alienate a huge portion of the country to please less than 1% of the country.  PC gone wild.

A 2004 BBC poll showed the number of people in the US who don't believe in a god to be about 9%.[11] A 2008 Gallup poll showed that a smaller 6% of the US population believed that no god or universal spirit exists.[36] The most recent ARIS report, released March 9, 2009, found in 2008, 34.2 million Americans (15.0%) claim no religion, of which 1.6% explicitly describes itself as atheist (0.7%) or agnostic (0.9%), nearly double the previous 2001 ARIS survey figure of 0.9%.[37] The highest occurrence of "nones", according to the 2008 ARIS report, reside in Vermont, with 34% surveyed.[38] According to a study conducted by Gallup in May 2010, 16% of Americans declared they have no religious affiliation.

The latest statistics show that a lack of religious identity increased in every US state between 1990 and 2008.[40] However less than 2% of the U.S. population describes itself as atheist.[41][/quote]
