Thanks for posting this, Paige. You don't have to be
strictly religious to appreciate the beautiful sentiments
being expressed.

Why can you not respect the views of people with different beliefs?

Every time you try to turn this into a dick measuring contest, it proves that the people who choose not to believe in God correct.

Thank you for spreading "atheism for us.

Thanks for posting this, Paige. I hope you have a great day!

NONSENSE!
The atheists want to eradicate our HERITAGE
and our HISTORY.

America was FOUNDED BY CHRISTIANS,
on Christian principles.

That is the ONLY reason we have lasted this long.

What do you think Washington meant by
"in the year of OUR LORD?"

It was taken for granted that EVERYONE knew who
he meant, because almost ALL of the people
of America then were CHRISTIANS!

If Christianity, and the fact that America is a Christian
nation offends you, there are MANY nations in the world
where you might feel more comfortable.

For the twenty percent of Americans who are of another
faith, or no faith at all, they can be thankful to whatever
gods they beleive in or not be thankful at all.
That is their concern.

Thanks for the pin!

:)

I agree, it has a lot of meaning, thank you!

No, I thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Paige,

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for posting this.

I see, so you cannot even follow your own religions rules. Interesting lack of discipline. I thought only (God) [snicker] decided what "we' deserve....


I love all of the hypocritical low IQ religious people. They make for good people watching and make me realize that I am truly in the top percentage of the human race.

Pray for me, mmmmkay... (LMAO)

You Yanktards do a hell of a lot of killing and maiming of innocent people around the world considering you are supposed to be a "Christian nation" i'd say more of a deluded hypocrite nation if you ask me...

George Washington...
In 1779, George Washington instructed Major General John Sullivan to attack Iroquois people. Washington stated, "lay waste all the settlements around...that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed". In the course of the carnage and annihilation of Indian people, Washington also instructed his general not "listen to any overture of peace before the total ruin of their settlements is effected". (Stannard, David E. AMERICAN HOLOCAUST. New York: Oxford University Press, 1992. pp. 118-121.)

In 1783, Washington's anti-Indian sentiments were apparent in his comparisons of Indians with wolves: "Both being beast of prey, tho' they differ in shape", he said. George Washington's policies of extermination were realized in his troops behaviors following a defeat. Troops would skin the bodies of Iroquois "from the hips downward to make boot tops or leggings". Indians who survived the attacks later re-named the nation's first president as "Town Destroyer". Approximately 28 of 30 Seneca towns had been destroyed within a five year period. (Ibid)

truth is a bummer

Imagine those words once spoken in New York. What a travesty to think how the elect have represented themselves before the people and God this Thanksgiving by subverting the greatest document since the Magna Carta; The American Bill of Rights.

Thank you for sharing this Paige!

BULLSHIT, America was founded by psycho protestants who were cloest homos who beat themselves because of self loathing. RESEARCH that dumbass! Religion is the worst thing that was ever unleashed onto humans to control people with low IQs.

America was NOT FOUNDED ON RELIGION, in fact that is written into the very COTUSA you dipshit.
Religion is a cancer that is unnatural, and is has been the greatest impediment of human growth and enlightenment in the history of our race.

Keep your filthy adult santa to yourself.

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this and the other nice Thanksgiving Day thoughts too.
I will try to bring these positive reminders into the Thanksgiving Day conversations at my home.


I will not be discussing the merits of Obamacare.

Want the truth?


They worked for the British crown, they were mercenaries for hire. They then sold all their remaining territory to the crown in 1768. After that they conducted raids against the colonist at the command of the British crown in the Mohawk valley for payment. We then pushed the attacking force out of new York and in to Canada.

Brittan then started the war of 1812 where the 5 nations acutely fought each other for money. The Tuscaroras fought against the Mohawk, don’t try to paint it as something it was not, they were a military force for hire period.

This is going to sound funny, for I consider myself rather atheistic, but you know what? If Thanksgiving is about what OP posted, cool. Give your thanks that way. Atheists can be thankful for things as well. Their health. Their family. Whatever.


BUT


It's shit that goes on involving atheists this time of year that pisses ME (again, a rather atheistic person), off.


If you (an atheist), happen to see someone saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays", so fucking what? If you see a manger scene and don't like it, so fucking what? If you don't celebrate Christmas, fine! But let OTHER people celebrate what they will, how they will. Shut the fuck up and eat and drink and get over your shit.

Happy Thanksgiving to All...

A religious idiot asking an atheist for proof. Now THAT'S rich and really fucking funny!

Again you prove me right with this statement.

"I don't pray for idiots, btw." Typical religious fakazoidian.

And, As usual, a religious idiot attacking the person instead of the facts that cut them so deeply....

so sad.

Hey Paige, thanks for the great post.

BTW, did you know you could ban people from your threads?

: glpturkey: ( feel free to use...anybody!)

There's an idea, Smoked Turkey.
