I used to be so militant I bought a stamp for all my bills that blotted out In God We Trust and replaced it with No Gods No Masters. Every day I sat down and stamped all my bills. That got old after a couple of years.

A couple years? Wow, I applaud your tenacity!

Scientists used to believe that Christians used circular reasoning in their arguments. But with recent improvements in instrumentation they have discovered Christians actually use elliptical reasoning.

I've got a crazy Uncle who posted this stuff on Facebook. He's an extreme fundy Christian Nationalist type. He even got a tattoo that says "In God We Trust" on his arm. He posted all kinds of offensive stuff. I agree that these types of people have a persecution complex. I love the right wingers that want to end government assistance to the poor, but they want government assistance in promoting thier religion.
