You all Atheists,
Why you have to leave God aside.One should put god to the very front.Nothing or no ceremony will take event without god’s blessings or
permission.Any occassions that leaves god aside will be cursed and will not be futile.

I’m surprised by the lack of “freethinking” in the responses I have read in the above comments:

“Self-centered lying scum.”

“as the idiots that run have to pander to the ones who belive in some sky fairy.”

“the blabbering charade of that Baptise Rev. Rick Warren.”

I recognize that these comments likely do not represent the majority, though I as an evangelical American try my best to think and respond to people more respectfully than this. I don’t always succeed, but I sure try.

I respect and appreciate people’s ability to say whatever they want. Yet, I’m sad to read such hurtfulness.

As an elderly Canadian I enjoyed watching the inaugurations. Almost as though it was a second coming eh? Still, I have more faith in what President Obama said then the blabbering charade of that Baptise Rev. Rick Warren. What was he doing up there in the first place? Americans, it seems still have a long way to go before they can think and do for themselves and trust that their actions are their own responsibilities not Godâ€™s. I know, there’s a lots of ifs and buts, but common sense tells me that politics is politics and that God stuff belongs elsewhere. That Rick Warren was an embarrassment to so many and it took away from that fantastic inauguration. To me, Obama’s referral to God would have been plenty.

The atheists, while they have every right to practice their atheism, they do not have an absolute right not to be exposed to viewpoints they donâ€™t agree with. So I think this lawsuit has no merit whatsoever.

Riiight. But listen to the collective screech that comes from them if there’s a hint that their kids might be exposed to anything but the narrow indoctrination they’ve received at home. The “Yes on 8″ campaign had “Won’t somebody please think of the children! We can’t have the children taught about gay marriage!” As their centerpiece.

Self-centered lying scum.

This sounds like anti-theism to me, not aitheism…

Surely it’s purely ceremonial anyway? Let Obama or whoever have their prayer, do what the like! It’s only words, just don’t try to force me to agree with them!

I assume that he’s (Obama) intelligent enough to have worked out that God is a flawed concept, and if he says he does believe (as does Bush) it’s simply to justify radical political movements with a brainwashed populous.

Is it just me, or does that photo of Obama and Warren look like he’s sucker punching him? Maybe it’s just wishful thinking.

It wouldn’t be so bad if he had someone other than that pompus ass Warren to do the prayer. He strikes me as someone who has never missed a meal at the expense of the idiots that send him a check every month.
I am a life long Athiest and I am now 72 years of age and I realize that it will never be possible to keep religion out of politics as the idiots that run have to pander to the ones who belive in some sky fairy. I just hope it could be kept to a minimum. FYI if I was ever to believe in a god it would be Bacchus as I like good wine, and he makes more sense
