I think you completely missed the point. He was not necessarily attributing the actions to atheists, he was saying that his solution to these kind of situations would have a Biblical flavor to it, and that as such, this would not sit well with the atheist in our country.Llanero wrote:So are you saying that the thugs are atheists?

I agree that 8 on 1 does not work to my advantage but it seems either way i get the shaft while the punks continue to be punks.
I know exactly how to fix this, but atheists would have a problem with it, and it is probably unconstitutional anyway. As John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” So when you ban religion from the public square, and when you assign depravity as a constitutional right, and when you enable government to usurp the personal responsibilities of the individual, this is what you get.
Welcome to it.
I doubt that they were atheists. Since atheists make up only a small percentage of the population of Texas, I would be surprised if 8 of them were ever in the same place at the same time. Truth is these were probably Christians.
I am curious, however, why you think that the actions of this group reflect the characteristics of those who follow Christ (Christians)?
