Atheists "Don't Have To Live Here"- Fox News

[Cocoa Beware]

That's not how it works, she has it backwards.

Shes the one bitching, so if anything atheists should be the ones telling her she doesn't have to live here.

[pato15]

Ultra conservatives don't have to live here.

I'd tell them to move somewhere else, but I'd feel sorry for just about anyone else that they could possibly live.  Even fictional countries like Latveria, Azadistan, and Luxembourg.  Maybe if we created an artificial continent and gave it the worst weather, fauna, and flora of the world and populated it solely with ultraconservatives...

Do I have to be European to get this joke?

[stromboli]

Luxembourg isn't so much a country as a state of mind.  :-D

[the_antithesis]

Fox News doesn't have to be a pack of salt-cured twats.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Business as usual.  I sure am glad she's not in government any more.

Luxembourg isn't so much a country as a state of mind.  :-D

And one you can walk across in less than an hour.  But the last time I was there, the donut shop had pretty good coffee.

Yeah, but who gets stuck with getting rid of the bodies?

Not suggesting anything, but I do charge a reasonable rate for such dirtywork.
I do hope no one is seriously suggesting mass murder, though. Because that would just be sick.

You walk at 20 miles an hour?  :shock:

Rats and beetles?

For once, Fox News is technically correct: atheists don't have to live in the United States. But I wonder how the US would deal with losing two-thirds of its scientists.

Given current trends, Americans might not even notice.  :-?

[Minimalist]

(aka: Libertarian) believes the government should abide by the intent of the constitution.

I disagree with you about libertarians.

I would define political categories as follows:

Neo-con, someone believing in a theocracy and US hegemony to push Christianity on the rest of the world.

Neocons are the hawks... the warmongers, the "America is the world's policeman", the believers in American exceptionalism, and forcing American domination over other countries and cultures. They're the PNAC crowd. They have a great disdain for the Religious Right, but value them as useful tools. They're largely sociopaths. The goal of the Neocons is world domination by the US. They're epitomized by Dick Cheney.

The Religious Right are what I like to call the Theocons. They're fine with the Neocons because a) they're too stupid to realize the Neocons look down on them and use them as tools, and b) they love the idea of warfare if it involves the Middle East or Russia, which to them represents the Armageddon that they look forward to. The goal of the Theocons is theocracy. They're epitomized by Rick Perry.

Atheists should live in Japan, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic or even England. All of those countries have high secularism or are non-Christian and strangely enough, have very low crime rates compared to the USA. What Fox really wants to say is that Atheists should go to hell. And like the pandering of politicians they are disingenuous. They know, as politicians know, that in a country that has 80% of the population confessing belief in a Christian God it is in their best interest to pander to the ignorant, non thinking populace to boost their ratings.

I lived in Japan and I can tell you being an Atheist meant nothing to them and they were certainly not threatened. It was never challenged, questioned or disparaged. It was accepted and considered benign if considered at all.

But wouldn't that just mean less atheists for the rest of the world?   :-k
