- Well at least you are asking questions, which allows us to show you your own
- ignorance. "What was he saying" It appears to me that President Bush did not
- know how he felt about Atheists. He clearly believes that the United States is
- a religiously minded nation, lo and behold he is correct. He also firmly stated
- that he was for the seperation of Church and State, believing that the majority
- of Americans did as well, lo and behold they do. Hmm. If the majority of the
- United States professes a belief in God, and yet there must exist a seperation
- of this religion, well then, it seems to be a reasonable question to ask "what
- then are atheists?" It is the sort of acedemic reasoning that plagues our
- highest tribunal "When does life start..." etc. The President seems to have
- remained very consistant with the rest of acedemic government in his
- ponderings.

- I find it very strange that you use this. Now, to shift the burden of proof,
- can you Billy Boy, without mindlessly insulting the President, intelligently
- prove the substance of your arguement? To coin a Court phrase "the literary or
- artistic merit to society" that your point may have. I ask you to consider it in
- this remonstration: Bush has lost, so... what is your point? Anything that he
- has said about miniscule details regarding his own convictions, in light of the
- election, are now moot. You have made an interesting accousation, now can you
- swallow your own pill? (I suspect you swallow quite well)
