Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
All the better to build the workers' paradise! This year's Democratic platform makes no reference to God, in contrast to the 2008 document, which had one reference to God, and the 2004 platform, which mentioned God seven times, as noted by The Blaze. (ht CNN - forgive me, I'm stuck in an airport).
According to the CNN story, David Silverman, president of American Atheists, said the exclusion of "God" in the Democrats' document was a step forward in including non-religious Americans in the official party stance. "We are obviously happy that the Democrats are taking these positive steps," Silverman wrote. "We are looking for the inclusion of everyone and we are hopeful that that inclusion will continue to the point that we can depend on Mr. Obama to repeal the faith based initiatives and reinforce the separation of church and state."
How good of them to show their true colors.

So, now we refer to them as the Godless Democrats?

They left Him a long time ago. They've finally gotten around to understanding exactly that.

Re: Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
So wait, this athiests skin is so thin, that actively excluding people is the only way to be inclusive. Got it.

What really tips off the change is, "Year of Our Lord, Fifty and One."

Guru: actively excluding people is the only way to be inclusive.
Actually the atheist was upholding Obama's position of divide and conquer. The great healer (non-divine) has discovered a group he cannot heal, so he wants them surgically removed - or at least put at a distance - while he performs the lowering of the oceans, the healing of the earth, and the reconciliation of whoever he can get to follow him. Sounds rather like the Pied Piper.
Good thing I am deaf to his flute. I'll leave that for Chris Matthews.

Re: Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
The democrats need to diffuse one of Mr Ryan's strongest talking points about the origin of our rights.
No better way for the democrats to falsely anoint government to that position than to disavow natures god.

Shall we now begin referring to Ann Coulter as "The Prophet"?

Re: Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
Maybe we're looking at this all wrong... maybe instead of striking God they just replaced him.

Good point.

Barack Obama really is the gift that keeps on giving. He is the great unmasker!

Re: Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
Pretty much. There isn't room for two gods in the Democratic Party.
Once again, I note Stalin's quote after he had Lenin purged from a piece of artwork that had previously featured both of them: "There can be only one sun in the sky".

I'm sure God won't mind.

Just saw Bret Baier quizzing Dick Durbin about this on Fox Special Report. Wow.

Re: Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
Removing God to be inclusive. No irony. Not even the slightest bit of irony. You've got to love those atheists. Always using the old noodle.

You beat me to it.
And that makes Newsweek's Evan Thomas the equivalent of John the Baptist.

Re: Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
I don't know whether to be shocked or not. My husband isn't Christian... in the normal sense... he doesn't believe in God, but he's not a atheist, either. He believes in a higher power... but not God, per se.
Now, as for the Democratic Convention... uh, speechless here. I DO believe in God, very strongly, in fact. Right now, I'm trying to decide whether to ask HIM to strike down the idiots who decided this or not. SHEESH!

For those of you that don't know Dana as well as I do (we're over two decades of friendship)... she's an absolute dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.

Re: Breaking: God Purged from Democratic Platform
Should make for some interesting invocations. Is Gaia still OK? Allah? Perhaps a simple reference to the Big Bang as the ultimate source of our rights would not offend? Could a version of 12 dimension string theory be invoked, or would that offend string theorists of other dimensions (literally or numerically)?
