    What a load of bovine excrement!

    Where is your factual evidence that Hitler was an atheist?

    You have none whatsoever.

    Hitler invoked your god and your religion as his basis for the holocaust slaughter of the Jews.

    Erroneously assumes disparaging disinformation against Atheists without any shred of credible substantiation whatsoever.

    Jefferson was smart enough to undermine the "divine right of kings" when he wrote the DoI which is why he used that terminology.

    When it comes to his personal beliefs Jefferson was a Deist at most.

    Where is the credible substantiation for that slur against Atheists?

    What is an extreme atheist? If one tries to impose atheism then I would have a problem.
    Actually I don’t have a problem with orthodox Jews but I do it Hasidic Jews. But to imply jews are anti gay shows you know little about their history. Jews tend to be more liberal

    Hey, here's some scary " learnin' " stuff ....look up the history of Jews in the American southwest 15th -16th century and read how Christians gave Jews two choices, convert to Christianity or be strangled to death....

    The constitution prescribes no such thing. The constitution prohibits the establishment of a stste religion.

    You should actually read the constitution. It's really not that long. Relying on others, who claim to have read it, can leave you in moments like these.

    Godless is merely one of the labels the power structure leverages as justification for removal or eradication. We're still using that concept to invade other societies and plunder.

    We all understand your glorious document legitimized, sanctioned and codified the enslavement and genocide of human beings. It's not really much to look to for any indicator of morality.

    Again, you really should read the constitution, or at least stop taking advice from whoever is telling you that they have.

    The American civil war was fought to enforce the constitution's implications.

    Apparently only one of us has actually read the Constitution and comprehended what they read. The prohibition on endorsing religion applies to ALL religions.

    Slavery was given a short 20 year grace period prior to it being abolished by an Amendment to the Constitution. The civil war was necessary because the racist south refused to give up exploiting black Americans in order to line their own white pockets.

    Do you know where the word 'slave' comes from?

    Irrelevant non sequitur deflection duly noted and ignored.

    The etymology of the word 'slave' is quite relevant. It demonstrates that whatever you know about slavery, you don't know the first thing about slavery. I am currently left to believe that all you know about slavery extends from the antebellum south.

    Let me ask you a question. Throughout the course of human history, as a percentage of the world population at the various times, has there been more black on white slavery or more white on black slavery?

    You mean that you know such little history of that period of time you need examples?

    Of course I am old enough to had watch all this going down on my family black and white TV set.

    Your erroneous presumptions are your problem, not mine, and no, I am not going to support your derailment of this thread via racist white supremacist disinformation.

    Stick to the topic.

    Do not imply that I am a "white supremacist" again. Those sorts of ad hominin attacks are not welcomed here at PF. Don't do it again.

    I did not intend to imply that you were a white supremacist.

    I was referring only to the disinformation of white supremacists when it comes to topics like slavery.

    Are you accusing me of submitting "disinformation"? Fortunately, everything here is in writing. So, it shouldn't be hard for you to cite such "disinformation". Please, do.
