Can I use this for a refutation?

An atheist cannot be shown for the act, so saying that the act has influenced ___ cannot be used in supporting this idea. Since an atheist cannot be shown to be absent, I cannot say that the act has influenced ___ is a refutation of that idea.

It seems to work for others.


Have I implied you are unintelligent in every thread? Gosh I'm so sorry. I'l try to keep things simpler. I'll do my best to keep things within a K-7 age range.

Is there any particular reason you see it at all fit for Christians to have to fight for the same things that are freely given to others? Is this part of the american legal system or is this a judgement call a person makes on a case by case basis depending on how they feel at the moment? Why do people believe this? Do you think it is because they are well-informed or ill-informed and who taught them this?

For instance, if Molly gets a free soda in the cafeteria, why is it ok to threaten Amy with loss of her kindetgarten degree for getting a free soda while she is humming 'Jesus Loves Me?'

Also, in regard to this:

Then you believe that the US should be a Christian theocracy?

Exactly which 'Christian' beliefs do you believe I believe that would support a Christian theocracy?

For instance, we do not celebrate Christmas to any large degree, or easter even, in our house, so if the USA were a Christian Theocracy according my personal standards, would you have a problem if I, as president of the theocracy, asked you to stay home on Saturdays and did not light the 50 foot spruce in front of the White House in December and did not send invitations for an easter egg hunt and told you to never mind about paying your taxes for the most part because most of it gets wasted on things like evolution grants, billlions upon billions wasted on searches for life on other planets and weapons of war anyway but make sure you give to the poor who are hungry and living right next door to you? Or would that be unChristian in your view?

How exactly do you see this Christian Theocracy working? Should it force my Christian views on the general population, Catholic Christian views, Mormon, Evangelical, Pentecostal, which? Do you actually believe all christians everywhere actually agree on everything?

You seem to have a fear of a Christian theocracy, you have mentioned it before. Somehow it looks like a rather very unfounded fear from my perspective.

Perhaps you would be wise to investigate the meaning of ill-informed and where/who plants these types of ideas in peoples' minds and why and then ask yourself if this problem might not be inclusive of many other things you also believe. It's rather obvious you have already been subtlely duped before and thus one needs to ask where else this is affecting you and your ideas and behaviors and judgements of others. It's not possible to be duped only once past age 12 or so if you are susceptible to that sort of thing..
