Believing in something without any evidence to support it is pretty wacky.
When talking about God(s) and religion(s) it's even worse, because there is absolutely not one shred of evidence to support the existence of god.
There's not a shred, a smidgeon, a morsel, there's absolutely nothing to support a claim that god exists.
Take a look at the following sentence:
"I believe in God"
Now replace the last word in the sentence with
- Easter Bunny
- Tooth Fairy
- Santa Claus
and you'll see how silly it looks because to the scientific community, there's no difference and no evidence to support any rational belief any of these fictitious characters.
Until proven otherwise, god doesn't exist. Oh, and faith doesnt count.

How about a game? I give you a definition, and you give me the word!

This story hit a high note when a group of these so called "God fearing Christian" protesters assaulted a group of Egyptians for being Islamic despite the fact that:
1) The Egpytians were Coptic Christians.
2) They were there to protest the mosque.
Even after that came to light not a single person made a public apology for their actions. Behold the "compassion" of the conservative Christian-right.

Hey 98, thanks for your service man!
I have to -slightly- disagree with part of your comment. I have known several muslims and yes they were extremely nice people, but we must separate 'niceness' from those who are our enemy. If they are true muslims, they believe in the extermination of all Christians. Therefore, in my opinion, every single stinking muslim in our country and get the heck out for all I care.
I had a bitter argument about 2 months ago in WalMart with a muslim guy and his wife, both went through graduate school with me. He constantly posts anti-American, anti-Isreal / pro-Iran, pro-muslim stuff on his facebook status weekly. He's living in the USA, got an undergradute and graduate degrees from American Universities, working in the private sector corporate world, and he openly slams the US for being intollerant to muslim ideals and for wanting to sanction Iran, and runs our country down every chance he gets. In person, he is one of the most open and friendly people I've ever met, hands down. Very gracious personality.
In the most polite way that I could without killing this guy, I told him and his wife that they can get the he// out of my country, and that I was a God fearing Christian, and that he and every single other muslim, radical or not, were worshiping a false God and that I wished that every single one of them would leave my country.
I have no tollerance for any muslim. If they're a true muslim, they believe in the extermination of the 'white' man, and they will disguise it in the nicest, most open and friendly way possible. DONT be fooled.

Commiting genocide puts us on a plane equal to the of Hitler. While I have no love anyone who wants us dead, that's their right!!! HOWEVER, when they start acting on that belief, that's when we have to take swift and positive action to stop it. While part of me wants to turn the middle east into a big glass parking lot, at the same time, their right to believe is every bit as valid as ours...
Your boy can say what he wants, I'll give my life for his ability to do that...
Your boy cannot DO what he wants...
We cannot just kill everyone we don't hold the same ideals with... Otherwise, we turn into them...

I'll say it again: "Prove that He doesn't."
For every shred of evidence that proves that He doesn't exist, there's one that proves that He does...
