		<description>The first amendment is considered to be the most important amendment of the Constitution by liberals and conservatives alike. I&#039;m sure that both liberals and conservatives are also pleased that the Indiana Atheist Bus Campaign (IABC) was able to preserve the essential first amendment rights of free speech here in Bloomington.  We all cherish our right to express ourselves for without it, where would we be? Thanks IABC for preserving our Consitutional freedom. 

Incidently, Madison came up with our U.S. Constitution after years of studying other governments.  He concluded that a government completely separate from religion was essential for success.  Although it&#039;s only been a few hundred years or so, we seemed to be pretty successful until the Bush administration started reversing the intentions of Madison and most of his colleagues.

So let&#039;s keep religion out of government and continue the open discussion about religion and the absence or presence of the God(s) within us.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting how strongly we cling onto our own biases.  The funny thing is that this principle is seen in the both &quot;religious&quot; and not so religious.  And if you didn&#039;t know it takes equal mental conviction to say God exists or doesn&#039;t.  

Typically strong oppositions of God (particularly the Christian God) arise from a personal encounter of someone who claimed their faith and disappointed the observer.  Another reason, I&#039;ve often heard, that people oppose the notion of God is the violent history of Christianity.  The irony is that the anger generated towards the Judeo-Christian God was generated from observing flawed people (And yes, Christians do abuse the name of God, they just acknowledge perfection is found in the life of Christ).  Sadly &quot;logic&quot; twists our thoughts to blame a blameless God, rather than the flaw found in any/every person.

You have the right to have your own opinion, however If I&#039;m wrong, I have nothing to lose... If you&#039;re wrong, Your life of Human &quot;goodness&quot; will be judged, unfortunately it would be considered rags in front of a infinitely Holy God.  Because our motivation to bring  goodness, is to please... ourselves.  That&#039;s why Christ is important in Christianity, he lived a perfect life, in accordance to God the Father.  And because of his death and resurrection whoever believes (however flawed they may be) are judged based on the life of Christ. 

I finished what I wanted to say... I&#039;m sure some of you will bash away to make yourselves feel better.</description>

		<description>You can be good without God.  hmmmmm

Brilliant(sarcasm) FAIL.  Atheists confirming God&#039;s existence(consult Webster&#039;s or Roget&#039;s for word:  without).  globally.

		<description>I believe that a person should be allowed to follow whatever path in life they choose. Whether or not you choose to include God is your choice. It is clear that you so called atheist believe in god, otherwise you would not have acknowledged him in your bus ads. What a bunch of losers.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s a mistake to get into a deathbed in the first place.

But I&#039;d be seeking medical attention, it works much, much better than prayer.</description>

		<description>whoever is one word

&#039;our&#039; is the word you use when you want to state  that something belongs to a group of people:  &quot;our beliefs&quot;, or &quot;our car&quot;.   &#039;are&#039;  is the plural form of &#039;to be&#039; that you&#039;re looking for: &quot;we are happy&quot;, &quot;they are going to the store&quot;.

&#039;than&#039; is a word you use to compare two things:  &quot;this is better than that&quot;, &quot;she is taller than him&quot;.  &#039;then&#039; is a word you use to indicate cause and effect or order: &quot;if you do this, then I will be made&quot;, or &quot;first I boil the water, then I put in the pasta&quot;.

When you use &#039;and&#039; to join two complete sentences, technically you should also use a comma: &quot;I like this and that&quot; doesn&#039;t need a comma, but &quot;I&#039;m going to the store, and I&#039;d like you to come&quot; does.

Nobody is one word. 

I hope that a lot of people on here would agree that both sides of this argument should have full access to free speech.  On the other hand, when you go to use your free speech, you may have more impact if you pay a bit more attention to how you express yourself.  I&#039;m not sure how old you are, or what your educational background is, but this might be something you should consider in the future.</description>
