Sharia Law vs Christian Law

Must start with only atheist can run for Congress. This is not right but I love the idea of it so I want to give you a high five through the world wide web. Okay now in order. What I don't understand about Sharia Law is how Muslims can with a straight face say that under Islam women are more free. Under Sharia Law women are treated as sub-humans. This under god cr@p gets on my nerves. The only reason that under god was added was because the Soviet were atheist, thanks Communism. Now to this day us in the atheistic community has to deal with the charge that the only godless society in modern history were Communist countries. That gets as old as the Hitler was an atheist comment. It's time that under god was removed from our money and the pledge. If this country so badly want to be under an imaginary being why don't we chose one nation under the flying spaghetti monster. Too wordy oh we can shorten it to FSM it would not offend me.

The laws of our nation were never "christian" laws, but is based on the Common Law of England. The Pledge of Allegience was a socialist invention and no true lover of liberty would ever pledge allegience to a "flag". I agree that the tax exempt status for churches...and ALL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS should be abolished with the rest of the asanine progressive tax code. And I agree that if Barack and Bill want to bump fuzzies, the government should not interfere. If they want to make it a legally binding contract, more power to them. But to propose only atheiests run is to tie the same litmus test to public service that the religious right attempted. As far as Sharia law, you speak from great ignorance. It has little to do with burquas and "nose cut off". It allows for the killing of infidels and the butchering of females' anatomy. Sharia law makes all judicial decisions subject to Islamic clerics, not rule of law. As whacked as the christian right is in this country, they do not make judicial decisions.

You make some good points but the truth is some of the things you are mistaken on, like this being a nation of christian laws. As others have already pointed out, not many of our "founding fathers" were great activist in the christian church, Washington with his drinking, gambling and chasing after his friends wives, Jefferson cheating on his with the slaves he owned and Franklin with his bible with fake quotes to prove himself right in any argument. In fact almost all of them were masons and swore their allegiance to the masonic order which leans towards socialism. There is however a "christian nation" and its crimes have extended through time until this very day, its reach extends into every country and has a choke hold on it so that it can commit crimes and get away without every being charged. This Christian nation is the Vatican and in every sense of the word is a hypocrisy. If we are going to "frown on Sharia law" as you say we should first address the corruption that Vatican Law has on our society and the crimes that are committed by this order and have not been prosecuted. As far as only atheist running for congress, congressmen are "suppose to" represent the people that elected them and people with religious beliefs far outweigh atheist.

no matter what religeon you consult they have all created problems for humanity so in my opinion politics and religeon should be kept apart.religeon has led to so many wars regardless of which one it is we are better off to keep them apart

Communist countries are run by atheists. Are they better off than we are? Christians may try to get others to believe as they do and follow the teachings of the Bible, but they're not going to kill you or put you in jail if you disagree with them.

I propose only atheists run for congress You know that would be illegal because it would be discrimination. Also all religons are tax exempt...not just the christian ones. There is no law saying you have to say the pledge of allegiance. Yep our money says under god on it...don't like it...ask your congressman or woman to forth a bill to change it. We have religious freedom in this country for all not matter your religion. What you really want is all religion kicked out of our country. Which would be illegal and unconstitutional.

Religion is a great tool to have people to toe the line set by the few-The line in the case of nations is laws. Yes, a lot of laws are archaic and need to be done away with or amended in a big way. Islam and Christianity are two of the youngest religions and have not yet matured fully - one needs time and the other one will never mature, just die out suddenly because its adherents are not pliable to change, but both have given a lot to the world by way of maintaining law and order with limitations and the geographies that they are practiced in. I am not a Christian or a Muslim or a Jew or a Buddhist.

hey, Islam never killed woman who raped, because they are a victim. Sharia just only take penalty to adulterer, not the victim. before you talk, you must deeper your knowledge of Islam. someone said "you can consider yourself handsome, consider yourself cool, but never act smartass, you will get embarrassed, when your words is wrong".

The problem with atheists is that they can never be rational about anything, because their only agenda is to rule out anything that has to do with religion, which proves that they don't practice what they preach, TOLERANCE. Secondly, they are so intent on warring against Christians instead of focusing on the real problems in America, for example, it is beyond the shadow of a doubt that Muslims are in fact believers in the Koran that teaches them to kill off Christians and Jews, and subjugate all other nations under its authority. People who defend or ignore the women so badly enslaved and tortured over in Islam, and instead chooses to talk bad about the American government,I would love to see that American captured by terrorists, taken over to the middle east and forced to convert to Islam, then tell me how bad America is from the middle east. If you don't like America, nor our government, then get the HELL out of my country. What upsets me is when ignorant people like the one who posted this article had nothing sensible or logical to say, but made an attempt to form an opionion without any weight to back it up. Finally, what's wrong with in God we trust on our money? Are you a friend or family member of Madalyn Murray O'Hair? Who wanted God taken out of everything? I have an even better solution than yours. Get rid of all the non-religious and then we can have a peaceful society, but only after we send Muslims back to the middle east. That's my solution.

After reading the biased opinion of the author, I couldn't help but conclude that it is the opinion of someone who's either too stupid to know that you can not compare the evil barbaric deeds that Islam does is not comparible to the minor imperfections of the U.S. government. At least Americans don't chop off hands and feet, nor do we behead people. How come people are always trying to either justify or overlook the slavery and treaterous political ideology of Islam? Instead of pointing out the truths about it, they instead choose to point to America, which I think is the epitomy of cowardess, and weakness, and fear. I'm not afraid to speak the truth in what I see as far as what the Muslims are doing to their women, and other non-Muslim women, rape, torture, murder, and etc. I think that people who think our government is bad should leave America and move to Islam, under their Sharia law, become Muslim, and then tell me what life is like.
