2012: Year of the the Bible and Ignorance

Strange article. I believe it could be the year of ignorance. I think people in the West are more ignorant than they were 5 years ago. Not everyone, of course, but a lot are.

if you do not believe America is the Melting Pot of the world
then you are un-American
America is the Nation of all Nations. Accepting Every Religion, Every Language, race, color creed, sex, sexual orientation, national origin.
If this makes you uncomfortable, then you are un-American.
America is not only a White, Christian, English-speaking Nation, but a Nation of All for All. If this makes you cringe, then you are Un-American.
America is the physical embodiment of the philosophy behind the idea for the United Nations. America is where the Nations Unite.
America is home to all of the world, get used to it.

I think it the year of the Idiot Politician! This country was founded on the principle that the government would neither adhere to nor promote any religion, all the while giving the populace complete religious freedom. We have come down a few notches so to speak.

this headline is pointed right at the right wing!!!

This is a joke right? The year of the whatever is a Chinese tradition. I googled this and could not kind one indication that the U.S. government ever had a year of the anything.

It doesn't matter anyway.
Humans have finally achieved Space exploration.

Once life is found anywhere other than Earth (which scientists say is logical due to the sheer numbers and factors involved) religions will be broken for good.

Life anywhere other than Earth essentially disproves all religions.

Now unfortunately it does this in a different way with each religion, but every religion will be broken.

The Torah is actually the first 5 books of the OT, the books of Moses. Not the entire OT and most Christians I know understand the difference. All journalists should know the difference before they start writing about it. I find it funny that they are associating what is usually deemed astrology with the bible. I don't find it funny that the legislators didn't do their job.

I don't care about any of this.

All I know is that if anyone comes up to me and tries to preach Christianity, Mormonism, Islam, Judaism. I will break their beliefs with science and logic.

If people want to believe that's fine, but don't try to rub it in my face. My faith is in Science, and through Science believe me, religious beliefs can be shaken to their foundations.

Religion is the Science of the pre-science world.
Science is the new Religion of the modern world.

On the otherhand, leave me alone, and go get your prayer on and all will be well :).

I suspect that we are seeing the death throes of religion around the world. How else can one explain the violent extremism, the intolerance, the raging animal hatred inspired by ancient beliefs, *all* of which are based on irrational, desperate attempts to explain the world in the absence of any real data? Religions are reacting to the very real threat of their imminent destruction, and I admit to taking sadistic pleasure in witnessing their agony - it's a little bit of payback for the monstrous crimes they have committed over the centuries. Let them writhe, thrash and foam at the mouth a while longer, and then give them the mercy they never gave us, by ending their agony quickly and forever.

How many people are aware that Thomas Jefferson tried to create his own version of a Bible? He literally went through the Bible with a razor and cut out the essence of the "Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth", editing out all mention of angels, the genealogy of Jesus, prophecy, miracles, his divinity, his resurrection, and any mention of the Trinity. Apparently the "Christian principles" this country was supposedly founded on weren't as universal as everyone seems to think. Neither Thomas Paine, nor Ben Franklin, were strictly Christian either. Franklin is debatable, but Paine was a Deist, someone who believes in God, but not the Bible or any of the backstory of miracles surrounding Jesus Christ. It is clear that by trying to create an alternate Bible, Jefferson was heavily influenced by deistic thinking as well.

Try writing an article entitled "Koran and Ignorance." That would be closer to the mark but "journalists" are too scared.

legislators killing time instead of the work people elected them to do. same at the federal level. why bother to vote. all will ignore you and pay attention only to those that fatten their personal wallets.

So much for separation of church and state. Dammit! I did not serve 5 years in the military to watch this nation become another bloody theocracy.

Lunars loose in Pennsylvania! No person's church should be in charge of any person's government. Period. Stop this type of crap and get back to real governance!

Yahoo is just ridiculous. True journalism is dead. When I am interested in a news event, I want information from a professional with certified credentials not a wanna be with an opinion. We all know opinions are like #$%$..everybody has one. And most need to be kept covered.

2012 the year of the ignorant Y contributors network... It's hard to understand how this media could enter into such depravity and encourage such delinquency.

So much for focusing on jobs and the economy ..

The year of this... the year of that... Enough of this kind of crap, already.

What's ridiculous and offensive is the amount of grammatical errors in this article. Let's start with the difference between "than" and "then", and we'll go from there. Writing like this makes me wonder why I'm not doing shoddy freelance work.

2008 was this nation's most prolific year of ignorance. That's when Barach Hussein Obama introduced the "United Socialist's Party" into our country as the ruling dictatorship. There is no longer a Democrat Party. Many of the people who refer to themselves as Republicans now are nothing more than what Democrats used to be. Mindless liberals voting for Ron Paul.
