You're little atheist buddy didn't disagree with that number, which constitutes agreement in this case. It's not just Bill saying it.

Nice try, but you're not even close. The Republicans are about 50% of the country which flops back and forth every four to eight years. A big difference from 2%.

You probably should, because clearly the only people that didn't turn out to vote was the democrats. But you can stick your head in the sand if you like.

Nothing wrong with that, everybody is entitled to their beliefs as they see fit. Diversity makes the world go round.
The guy they interviewed was the supposed leader of the atheist movement, were they supposed to interview a bunch of people and pick the best debater? He was the one that put up the billboards, he can certainly be asked why he did it.

So this guy was a fake atheist? Maybe he's a Christian just waiting to come out of the closet?

(although this has been twisted and misinterpreted over the years like a large game of telephone).

Scientific fact means something is proven beyond all doubt. Science can't prove that the bible or other religious books aren't true, and can't even prove it's own theories on evolution and such, it's all just a theory, so that's not really a point.

Example: Gun nuts, protecting their guns with all their might, killing "Gods Creatures" for sport and not for food, and yet they say they follow the path of jesus. I didnt realise that Jesus toted a AK and blasted all of the non believers and deer, rabbits, turkeys etc. Thats what i call rapture. hahah.

So all Christians should act the way you interpret, in something you don't believe in? I don't remember anything in the Bible stating "thou shall not hunt for sport". Just because you don't believe in guns, doesn't mean anybody else needs to.

There are a certain amount that fit that description, there's also a equal amount that delve into the Bible much farther than you know, but I don't know how you'd figure that out by reading the huffington post.

That's not advice, that's a high opinion of one's self, a common trait among liberals and atheists. Stephen Hawking? Maybe at some point, but it's not high on my list.
