    Not strange at all. The founding father believed in freedom. It seems like you may not. What do you call bigotry? Is not believing in your fairy tale the mark of a bigot.

    Otherwise rational people suspend their critical thinking so as to avoid facing their own mortality. This suspension of critical thought is due to brainwashing and fear. The fear goes away with the thought of an all-protecting sky man.

    Got it. Picking a god is a matter of preference and not proof.

    How about the followers of Jim Jones? Did they believe in freedom?
    By your definition, that may well be.
    Let's just say imputing to Christians a motivation similar to followers of a communist mass murderer definitely qualifies.
    Seeing I don't believe in any fairy tales, the question is retarded. You're welcome.
    Please, you can hardly read any human history without having it smack you in the face.

    I have read history. Never saw any PROOF of the devil in a history book and neither have you. Stop dodging the question. Provide your PROOF the devil is real.

    What's smacking you in the face is human nature.

    You don't have to leap to the supernatural to realize what humans do when under duress.

    Our own founders held a revolution over lack of representation. You can't point to that revolution and say it was "good" and then point to another revolution held for even sounder reasons and say that was "bad".

    Try reading it with your eyes open.
    I'll quote you any way I damn well please. You're welcome.
    No, you actually said "founding father", not "fathers".
    Any history where the people are ruled by despots - which of course is pretty much all of it.

    Christianity was written by lawyers.
