I only brought the religious crap into the picture because the oaths contain the words "so help me God". I mainly look down upon these traitors for not keeping their words to protect and defend the Constitution. I don't really give a rat's ass whether or not they believe in god. I think you read my sentence to mean that atheists are people who "don't care about consequences..." but that's not what I meant at all. Perhaps it was poorly worded. I was under the influence of alcohol when I wrote it, after all. (That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it). I pass no judgment upon atheism. I was simply trying to say that (since they swear the oath "so help me god") they either don't give a crap they're pissing on the god they swore to, or else they misinterpret the constitution. Hope this clears up my intentions. Thanks for your comments. -Mike I think you're reading too much into it.

And it is very sad to see such a sterling article blackened with "Either they are atheists who do not care about the religious and humanistic consequences of violating these oaths...". There is nothing about a lack of a belief in god that necessitates an indifference to the humanistic consequences of not living up to specific oaths. I realize that the article doesn't explicitly say that their atheism (of course, there is no concession on the parts of congresspersons that they ARE atheists) is the CAUSE of their not caring but it is nonetheless implied. Sad to see a sentence so opposed to liberty (in this case, religious liberty) posted on LIBERTYmaven. I love this blog.
