I think he meant that the laws against treating churches specially is already on the books for anyone who knows anything about this country and the founding documents.

Such an inaccurate statement… atheists had no need to use lawsuits until believers started legislating their beliefs into society (violating Amendment 1).

Since when is it our fault that the god of believers is so weak, that people have to constantly be harrassed with government authorized displays (not private) and intentional lying in the public schools (creationism/i.d./sex ed. restrictions/pictures of Jesus/prayer banners…).

Yes, people will get the picture that atheists are not content to simply not believe, but have an obsessive need to attack believers using lawsuits due to a lack of public support for their pathetic attempts at bullying.

If the concept of deciding issues by voting makes your head explode, perhaps you should move to North Korea. Throwing a tantrum when you lose or don’t get your way is immature.

Are you serious? In what way does the lawsuit “harm other people”? It’s about stopping the unconstitutional, preferential treatment of churches & religious-based organizations by the IRS. AA took a stand on behalf of ALL tax-paying individuals, businesses, & organizations in an attempt to create equality. So, yes… “AA isn’t content to simply not believe in god” – thankfully.

By the way, the question you posed at the end of your idiotic post almost made my head explode.

After a while, people will get the picture.

Obviously American Atheists isn’t content to simply not believe in God (as is their right), but are trying to interfere with people who do beleve in God. The court threw out this case because AA was using it to harm other people, not because AA itself was being harmed.

Why not try to change laws using the ballot box instead of the courts?
