Those people are flat out nuts.  The name of their band is Matthew 24.  Almost the entire 24th chapter of Matthew is Jesus describing the final days.  I think most of the members of that band think we're living in the final days, hence the name.  :rolleyes:

I actually saw this article this morning and was going to put it on the God Sucks thread, but then I got sidetracked by a more pressing issue.  ;D

And in other late breaking news!  America, still not a 'x-tian' nation!   :biggrin:

And the primary guy behind the Museum of the Bible - which is being erected a scant three blocks from the Capitol - claims locating the religious organization so close to the seats of political power didn't even cross his mind.

Yeah, right!    :rolleyes:

Okay I had to Google that one.  So here we have the Hobby Lobby people setting up a Bible Museum in DC.  I hadn't even heard of The Bible Museum until you mentioned it here.

This interesting (and encouraging ):

Quote...part of a growing group of American adults who do not identify with any religion. More than one-in-five American adults say so now, the highest in U.S. history. They are being identified as the religious "nones," so called for their lack of religious affiliation. As they grow in size, they are also gaining political power.

  Finally the American people have caught on that religion and god is all bull shit.  They have finally seen through all of the smoke,mirrors and lies that the religious leaders put upon us.  For they are all for lining their pockets gold and silver and power over our lives.  God and religion SUCKS and it is for the small minded people that live amongst.  Now let us pray.  :pray:  :preach:  :pope:  Oh, don't forget to put something in the pot.  :stirthepot:

As far as I'm concerned, until someone can come up with any credible proof of the existence of the supernatural, there is no reason to lend any credence to any supernatural beliefs, and certainly pertains to belief in any super-human sky daddy - xtian OR muslim etc..
