lokithelion Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Anyone else watching the inauguration coverage? Jesus. The second Bush came out there was a fucking roar of "hey hey good bye" "boo" and "Goodbye Bush". You like to think people would have at least a ceremonial respect, but that mother fucker is pretty universally hated at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 haha, yeah. I'd expect the same thing, but apparently people don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murgorgoroth Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 universally hated may be an understatement Why that man hasn't already been "taken care of" is beyond logic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Jews should be pretty stoked about it, he cited scripture that is all about them. And he never mentioned Jesus once. I'm not a fan of Warren, but considering there will always be a prayer before the inauguration he did a non-religiously specific a prayer as you could do. And any atheist who is honestly ostracized because the president has a traditional and ceremonial prayer before his inauguration is a fucking idiot, and should remember that part of having people except your beliefs is respecting theirs. If he makes it so everyone has to go to church, yeah they're ostracized. But otherwise they're just being grouchy about living in the culture they live in. Praying isn't discriminatory and its frustrating that it's viewed that way, exceptionally since dude isn't talking about converting anyone. A Muslim or a Jew could have read the same prayer and had the same impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could give a shit less what you believe as you don't commit violence against someone else in the name of it. You're an idiot for acting like a bigoted christian who can't allow other religions to have displays at Christmas, and acting like all those wonderful people who act as if they're smarter than someone who believes in Jesus, or the Torah, or Allah or any number of other faiths, simply because you don't. You're the kind of people that said because I believed in God I couldn't be at punk shows. The kind of people that can't allow a fucking ceremonial prayer (again part of the history of the inauguration) to happen without acting as if it a personal slight to yourself, as opposed to a unifying feature for the majority of the country, especially after an election where a large number of traditional Christians didn't vote for this guy. I am sick of atheists who can't just say "it isn't what I believe, but I can respect that other people do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need god's help, and if we do, what is the point of having leaders? I can respect what other people do, but I will not sit by while the money taken from my paycheck pays for someone to pray on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Warren is doing this for free. Sorry, you didn't pay for it. Outside of that fact that none of your money is going into prayer, and in fact that prayer is helping the economy by putting pilots, drivers, and security by Warren's people to get him there, bravo for it. Another family eats tonight. The first atheist president will still say "with God as my witness" because it's part of the ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal favorite experience. A group of punks trying to tough guy Mxpx into giving them each two dollars because "i'm not letting my fucking money go to some faggot pussy christians." Mxpx said "sorry dude already sent it to the secret Christian "ruin punk rock" fund." Dudes ruled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
