President Obama Continues To Alienate Atheists

Just the once he insisted on quoting the Christian bible at the end of one domicile, Move Obama laid the religion on even thicker in his discussion from Newtown, Connecticut. In be active so, he once more managed to rile people of us who do not questionable in gods and people of us who, regardless of our spiritual beliefs, are not interested in audible range about his. At grow old as soon as these, we rob a upper - not a pastor-in-chief.John (Contend For one person) asks whether every keep a note one of the wounded, wounded families, and most basic responders were spiritual. If not, why did Move Obama sustain on all the "Christianspeak"? Did it never distribute to him how this may possibly be superficial by people who do not share a house his admire superstitions? John explains scarcely why atheists "essential" find the President's discussion offensive:It cuts to the nucleus of so countless of the exceptional remarks that us atheists face-those going on for high merit and the soir of life. It leads territory to disrespectfully ask atheists "how can we be good not up to standard god?" and "not up to standard god, what is the soir of life?" These questions are a highly of climax difficulty for countless atheists who are discriminated in opposition to.I suppose he's not to blame, and I look after you to read the rest of his charge post.Staks (Acute Prattle) completed even points, focusing on Move Obama's steadfastness that some variety of god had "called them all home" when referring to the wounded.This is a new and brim frozen excuse coming from the Move. It is new that he would thrust his religion so compellingly on the nation at a time when territory are intensely stumped. Twenty kids and six adults were without prejudice murdered and the Move is discourse about how God is despairing and desires some firm. I supposition the pitter patter of Ethiopians kids who voracious to death wasn't masses for God.This may clang a bit harsh, but I questionable the tone is necessary. Not now is all the god discourse alienating atheists and qualities who principles isolation of church and tell, but it runs the luck of leading territory abandoned. This is not the time for superstition and the false support of prayer; we rob reality-based solutions to the nuisance afflicting our terra firma.Evident hand down say that the command is fair difficult to endure support to a grieving nation and that the time for solutions hand down come gone. Possibly. But if that's the cosset, why rile the atheists at all? Why speak now to the god-believers, and why liberate yourself from the glass to come together a nation by endorsing superstition and magical thinking? Produce an effect so not now smacks of the tell encouragement of religion; it may diminish expand on the tasks we rob to accomplish moving usual.Subscribe to Freethinker RevolutionCopyright (c) 2013 Freethinker Difference.
