Protoclown Seeing Dole, Sspad and Burbank all together in this thread bashing Vince just puts a big smile on my face.
Jul 16th, 2003 11:54 AM
mburbank 'Joyless Ghoul' is a nice turn of phrase, Mr. Dole.

Now, Vinth, until you demonstrate your intelligent now you is in no position to post up a statement about the intelligent of another psoter now. Now you don't even understand how the constitution are working!
Jul 16th, 2003 11:43 AM
sspadowsky DOLE!

There, there, Vinny. Don't take it personally. LOTS of folks are more intelligent than you are. Not to mention several kinds of primates and some breeds of dogs.
Jul 16th, 2003 11:33 AM
Dole Intelligence aside, (which lets you neatly off the hook) he is a far nicer person than you, you joyless ghoul.

VinceZeb Keep telling yourself that you are more intelligent than I am. You just may get to the point where you are convinced it's the truth.
Jul 16th, 2003 11:10 AM
sspadowsky Oh no, Vinny, not at all. Don't sell yourself short.

There are thousands of things that make you a dumbass, and they're all preserved on this website for our amusement.

You really gotta quit hanging 'em right over the plate like that, Vinny. It almost takes all the sport out of it. Almost.

VinceZeb Oh wow, I don't spell your name right. That makes me a dumbass.

Actually, that's exactly what it's saying. Any government building or property that displays religious texts, symbols, etc., is effectively endorsing a religion. If they want to be fair, they can display texts and symbols from all known religions, but it's just easier to keep all that shit where it belongs- in churches, mosques, and temples.

By the bye, Vinny, I find it endlessly amusing that you imply intellectual superiority over me, despite your multitude of mangled nonsense that doesn't even pass for sentences, coupled with your inability to spell my name correctly when it's right in fucking front of you.
Jul 16th, 2003 10:44 AM
VinceZeb Well, that would be true if Karma was an existant force. Most people say "Karma" to try and sound intellectual but most people just know it as "life."

Maybe it's time for me to point out the law of Karma. If you wish good, good things will happen. If you wish bad, well, bad things will happen, but you it will strike you back in return.

VinceZeb Wow, I must have this uncanny ability TO READ WORDS THAT FORM A SENTENCE AND THEN GET THE MEANING FROM THOSE WORDS, because I don't see "seperation of church and state" ANYWHERE in that phrase!

Now, I know sspadowski isn't... smart, but let me break it down for you:

Congress can not establish a state religion. Congress can not tell a private person, company or anything that is SEPERATE from the state how they can worship.

Now, does that mean the Ten commandment cannot sit at a courthouse? No, it doesn't. That is not establishing a religion, because the Ten Commandments sitting there is not the govt saying "We respect the Judeo-Christian religious beliefs to be the ones that you should follow". It is a historical document from which Western Civilization has been based upon.

God Bless America sung in a school concernt is not respecting an establishment of religion. It is a group singing a song. Is the govt saying that everyone should respect the establishment of Judeo-Christanity with the song? Nope, it's not.

The only people that seem to not grasp this concept are the "free-thinkers" of our society who's twats get flared up everytime someone mentions God without mocking or insulting the concept of a Divine Being.

sspadowsky AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Zorak, a sound policy would be this: Whenever you think Vince might be right about something, pause to remind yourself of everything else that Vince has ever posted here, and you'll likely find that Vince is, yet again, wrong.

Congress making any law endorsing or prohibiting, or even pertaining to, the practice of any religion is unconstitutional. This is what is commonly referred to as the Separation of Church and State. The Supreme Court has upheld this time and again over the last two centuries, so I'd say it's a law that's got a leg to stand on.

CastroMotorOil From what i understand vince is right on this one. As far as i know the concept of seperation of church and state is not in the constitution, it is a precedent that has been created by the supreme court. Correct me if im wrong.

KevinTheOmnivore Pat Robertson is a piece of garbage.
Jul 15th, 2003 10:26 PM
AChimp Hey, if he interprets the Bible literally, why not everything else? :P
Jul 15th, 2003 10:12 PM
punkgrrrlie10 Again ignoring the implications of case law and the interpretation of the 1st amendment vince. Wow, aren't you a winner.
Jul 15th, 2003 09:55 PM
VinceZeb There is no seperation of church and state in the Constitution... why wont you all realize that?
Jul 15th, 2003 09:23 PM
Zero Signal COSMO!!!
Jul 15th, 2003 08:48 PM
Cosmo Electrolux Let's all join hands and hope that Pat Robertson gets "called home"
Jul 15th, 2003 04:50 PM
The_voice_of_reason Let's all join hands and pray that God will speak to the heart of Pat Robertson.
Jul 15th, 2003 04:37 PM
AChimp You know, Robertson is looking kinda old... isn't it about time that HE retires?
Jul 15th, 2003 04:07 PM
Zero Signal Here is CBN's rhetoric regarding it: http://www.cbn.com/special/supremeco...edgetopray.asp

Apparently, they hold the Founders in such high regard yet REFUSE to accept seperation of church and state which was put in there BY the Founders; a case of selective of selective hearing.
Jul 15th, 2003 02:17 PM
The_voice_of_reason Pat Robertson is the most evil man in the world.

Miss Modular God, he looks like a bad Alfred E. Newman cartoon.
