"Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifiying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid or produces only atheists or fanatics. As an engine of power, it serves the purpose of despotism, and as ameans of wealth, the avarice of priests, but so far as respects the good of man in general it leads to nothing here or hereafter.
Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."
-Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794

"The Christian god can be easily pictured as virtually the same as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of the people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."
-Thomas Jefferson
Man, these guys were way harsher on Christianity than your modern day Dawkins or Hitchens type character;)
- and yet you subscribe to the same philosophies. exchange god for public. politicians for prophets. and buy into altruism ethics.********
- ethics********
- You're saying that's what the founding fathers believed?ukit
- no. just think its funny how most people who dont buy into religion buy the same philosophy and collectivist ethics in politics.********
- ethics in their political choices. a religious zealot to me is no smarter then a hc supporter********
- they both prescribe to altrusim philosophy/ethics, and just differ in who they choose to serve. they should be friends********
- Interesting analogy. Too bad the religious types don't typically believe in altruismMimio
- Did you miss the indicting part of the quote where Jefferson calls them "fools and hypocrites"?Mimio
- and not all liberals practice the altruism they preach either, but they should be friends. and yea i caught it.********
- You are reading a lot into just not believing in God...it really doesn't have anything to do with liberalism. Ayn Rand was an atheist.ukit
- an atheist. Oh and we're assuming there's something wrong with liberalism anyway;)ukit
- yup wasnt focused much on the god as much as the similiarity in philosophies. i dont care if peopel believ ein god aliens or bigfoot, but it does give me insight about their critical thinking skills.********
- bigfoot, but it does give insight into peoples critical thinking skills.********
- and yet you subscribe to the same philosophies. exchange god for public. politicians for prophets. and buy into altruism ethics.

"The Bible is not my Book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma."
-Abraham Lincoln
Later in life:
"My earlier views at the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them."

At the Republican National Committee, the term "office supplies" seems to have taken on a whole new meaning. If you take its recent filings with the Federal Election Commission at face value, the RNC, it seems, requires thousands of dollars worth of pricey clothing and more than a splash of booze to run its office.
Listed on the report in the category of "office supplies" are purchases from a New England winery and a Capitol Hill liquor store, as well as more than $3,800 from a Florida clothing store. The category of "meals" also seems to extend to the sartorial, with a $450 purchase from a high-end Manhattan boutique -- one that has no restaurant or take-out shop on the premises -- falling into that category, as listed on the RNC's reports to the FEC. That purchase, as well as one for more than $500 from the Florida clothing store, are attributed to RNC Deputy Finance Director Debbie LeHardy, who, according to the report, was reimbursed for them.
LeHardy also received reimbursement for more than $2,800 in "tips" between December 2009 and February 2010, according to the reports.
Even before news broke this week that the Republican National Committee spent nearly $2,000 at a bondage-themed Hollywood strip bar, RNC Chairman Michael Steele had been sharply criticized for extravagant spending. AlterNet's review of RNC campaign finance records suggests a pattern of reporting irregularities within an institutional culture of over-the-top extravagance.
