I read the article but don't see where Billy has anything against the First Amendment Rocky. Can you elucidate? This quote implies to me that he doesn't agree with the separation of church and state Pray for our nation, especially as we look forward to elections a year from now. Pray especially that God will raise up leaders who will stand for justice and morality and will seek God’s will in all they do. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/billy-graham/article41461173.html#storylink=cpy The most vocal among the religious lot in the U.S. feel that the 1st amendment which covers freedom of religion means that everyone should choose a religion of some sorts (as long as it's the right one). They don't understand that it also means freedom from religion and that it's possible to understand what would be immoral based on human rights and not on any religious laws. In the 10 Commandments, number 6 is "Thou Shalt Not Kill". It doesn't take a genius or religious command for someone to realize that is immoral. But it's ok if "God" is behind the soldiers fighting in any war. Even if both sides are fighting for religious reasons and they even happen to worship the same deity. They just have a different interpretation of the sciptures. To be honest Phantom, I've never heard anyone in the US say that the 1st amendment means that everyone needs to choose a religion. Maybe you've paid more attention to the religious right than I have. Certainly they all espouse their own doctrines, but that's to be expected. Frankly the amendment was put in because even then we were too diverse religiously to be united under any one faith. We're a lot more diverse now. Regarding what's immoral, I think the basic concept of the Golden Rule which is shared by many faiths is always a good start. It's rational as well as founded in many religious traditions. It's a shame we have not lived up to it. I read the comments that people leave that follow local news articles whenever ever something happens that has a religious theme to it. There are several people on there that don't hold back with their feelings that if you don't belong to their denomination of whichever religion, then obviously you're in the wrong, even if the end result is that you're worshipping the same deity. If you ever made a comment that you were an athiest on there, about a dozen people will feel that you need to be saved and attempt to convert you. One that's constantly up for debate is the pledge of allegience, even though you can happily point out to them that the "One Nation Under God" bit was only added in 1954 and "In God We Trust" wasn't added to the currency until the late 50s early 60s. A couple of years ago when some stores, public schools etc would put up signs wishing people "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" in order to include all the religious holidays that happen around that time of year, suddenly you started seeing people wearing large badges with "I SUPPORT CHRISTMAS!!" on them. Different people interpret the 1st Amendment in different ways, the freedom of religion bit for me means you won't be persecuted by the government. But at the same time it means freedom from religion, and I take that to mean, "don't force your religious beliefs on me, as I won't force my beliefs on you". I think the problem some people have with the "Happy Holidays" phrase is the pressure they feel (by employers, school systems, etc.) to not mention Christmas as if it was something odious. I have no problem with either phrase but I also don't know why non-Christians would feel abused by "Merry Christmas". The 1st amendment give us freedom of expression as well as religion. If people want to mention God in their public discourse, they certainly can. I don't think it's unconstitutional because the people who wrote the constitution mentioned God often. It doesn't constitute an official state religion. yeah the less said about 'Merica's amendments the better. Its the reason you have fucked up white boys shooting up schools and do nothing about it but yeah anyway, merry Christmas is fine by me

the thing about someone as opinionated as yourself is you fail to even try to see anything other than your own conclusion. i personally like to know how they died as im sure many others do

What Do You Think Of The 2015 Death List?
paulh85 replied to Davey Jones' Locker's topic in DeathList Forum
pushing towards that unwanted target of longest wait between deaths this year now. I think we will get two more hits for the remainder of the year -
where did you pluck those figures from?

as it was a dead pig and not able to simulate anything its self, i think the more appropriate term would be "skull-Fucked a pig"
