Obama Leaves God Out of Thanksgiving Address

[Colten]

I dont get the problem, many people do not believe in god and its not hurting anyone to not mention him in an address.

Because it pisses off Christians.


No one wins in this situation because then atheists, scientologists, Muslims. etc would be extremely pissed off.


This is why we now say Happy Holidays.

You do realize that "people" aren't a giant collective hivemind?

Fox is garbage and religion isn't important.

Had he said something about god though there would be no topic and we wouldnt be arguing - Its not like he said there wasnt a god, or said there was, he just left it absent. If people are getting angry over that then too bad for them, they need to realize the world isnt supposed to conform to their ideals

[ChexGuy331]

wait the president does a thanksgiving address?

[Firecycle]

Come up with an argument next time instead of spamming an image macro and looking like an even bigger dumbass.

okay

religion isn't important.

Tell that to the people who decided to be burned at the stake rather than recant protestantism during the reign of Bloody Mary, to the people who travel to Hati to spread the Gospel, to the persecuted church in China and the Middle East. Read Foxe's Book of Martyrs before calling religion "unimportant" Take the Islamic faith: people are willing to strap bombs to their chests because their "unimportant religion".

I love how science didn't even bother filling in the holes anyway.

[Aphtonites]

I love how fox refers to God as "The almighty" at the end.
