Yeah, eff those blue laws!  Walmart and other big retailers should be allowed to force their serfs to work on national holidays and longer on weekends!

And booze should be available 24/7.

Those stupid fucking laws won't prevent a true alchy from drinking.  Plus you can go to the bars and get hard liquor on Sundays.  A little double standard isn't it?  It just fucks over people that don't stock up.  I suppose they are trying to get us to be hoarders.  Also, you can't possibly spin no buying groceries on Sunday in a positive light.

Also... You want to get into Walmart?  You do realize they keep their employees at ~30 hours a week to avoid any overtime.  They just have more workers who work less hours. 

Please tell me I'm missing some sort of joke or reference here. If there is no true atheist then there is also no true unicorn disbeliever and no true Christians since their beliefs can't be proved/disproved either.

Ridiculous statement on your part.

True... drug laws don't prevent crack heads or heroin addicts from getting their fix either, so why have them?  And I don't know where you live but most grocery / convenience stores are always open on Sundays and sometimes even on holidays like Turkey Day and Xmas (albiet with shorter hours), and many counties in my state feature the same "blue laws" on the books, they just ignore them.

Newflash, Church and State has been seperated for a long ass time. Just because of the influences of religion doesn't mean that it will entirely disappear. There is no part of athiesm that encoporates immorality. The laws of an area are determined by the people who live there, who either make the laws or decide not to change them. 

Scapegoating is the practice of singling out any party for unmerited negative treatment.

The Religion of someone in Texas, isn't responsible for the blue laws you might have in Maine, so a national ban would not only be unconstitutional but frankly stupid.

No, that is exactly right. The evidence of absence is not the absence of evidence. Unicorns, leprichauns, anything mystical can be lumped under super natural and simply can't be proven or disproven. However, it doesn't really matter.

Thats why religion is established on faith, it is impossible to know if their is a higher power. Athiesm is rigidly defined as the rejection of belief, the opposite of theism but with regard to Science, it means nothing really.

I don't think it should, even with my strong indifference to all things religions. A lot of good comes from it. Charity work, support groups, strong community relations. It can often be over shadowed by all the hate scandals and child molestation. If only those religions practiced all the good they preach and stop using their archaic fantasy book to oppress other groups (gays, for example)

Still, a connection with god should be a 1 on 1 kind of deal. You don't need a giant mass to feel close to a divinity. Spirituality, i think, is usually a single player kind of game.

Yah, but 99% of those egretions come from people commiting crimes and hiding behind religion. For instance, child molestation or really molestation of any kind is a Sin in the Bible, if a priest is abusing that power then its because he himself is doing bad, if the leader of the church protects him then it makes the religion look bad but again it is just an abuse of power, same thing when a president pardons someone.

Freedom of belief and all that Jazz, basic human rights or whatever

I don't know how anyone can claim that christiians persecute homosexuals for being gay and yet persecute christians for beliving in a religion. Seems kind of hypocritical, and bigotted if you ask me, something that is apparently unique to religion rather than human nature.

Don't shoot the messenger.

GunsReligions don't kill people, people kill people.

Never going to happen. Unless the constitution becomes null and void, in which scenario I would fear living in this country.

Why in the fuck would religion be illegal? The only countries in which that has been the case, were totalitarian states.

I agree that Christianity, not any one spiritual belief path, should be "informing" or running our nation's policies. But suggesting outlawing religion? Not that I ever talk about myself that much on here, but I happen to be "Pagan", IE highly spiritual but not religious. If we "ban religion", where does that leave people like me? Or are you simply suggesting we make America some kind of atheists only Nerdtopia?

Sorry, but while I totally agree that Christianity/Judaism/Islam have done almost nothing but horrible things to our world, the idea of BANNING spiritual beliefs outright, if that's what you're saying.....it goes against the notions of Freedom and Democracy. America is already bad enough. We don't need to swing violently into opposite extreme.
