Footnotes to History and Other Reflections by Ed Buckner, Southern Director, Council for Secular Humanism

“Why don’t you just read the Bible?”

2005-06-25

“You just need to read the Bible for yourself.” ( More biblical nonsense.)

2005-06-25

“You’ll believe when you’re burning in hell!” 

2005-06-25

“Doesn’t the fact that the Constitution is dated ‘In the Year of Our Lord...’ prove that the founders intended to establish a Christian nation?”

2005-06-25

“How can it hurt to do what the U.S. House of Representatives approved a few years back, and hang the 10 Commandments in every schoolhouse and courthouse in the nation? After all, they’re what all our laws are based on—and they’re posted in the U.S. Supre

2005-06-25

“Why don’t you just let your children go to Sunday School [or ‘go to church’ or ‘read the Bible,’ etc.] and decide for themselves?” 

2005-06-25

“Doesn’t the fact that the universe is so well designed mean that it must have had a Designer?”

2005-06-25

“What do you think happens to you when you die?” or   “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

2005-06-25

“Since most of the Framers of the Constitution were members of churches, Bible societies, etc., how can you deny that they established a Christian government?” 

2005-06-25

“Don’t secular humanists believe in the Golden Rule and in being good to people, and isn’t that in the Bible?”   

2005-06-25

“Why do secular humanists [or atheists] deny God when they know in their hearts the truth that God exists?” (Based on passages in Psalms and Romans in the Bible.) 

2005-06-25

“Has secular humanism [or atheism] ever built a hospital or college? Religion has inspired great art and music and cathedrals. What has secular humanism ever inspired?”

2005-06-25

“Since Madison, who wrote the Constitution, said good government is dependent on the Ten Commandments, isn’t it obvious that the Constitution is profoundly Judeo-Christian?”  

2005-06-25

“Isn’t the overwhelmingly Christian language found in the Mayflower Compact proof that this is a Christian nation?”

2005-06-25

“If this isn’t a Christian nation, why does all our money have ‘In God We Trust’ on it?”

2005-06-25

“Us Christians have the Good News to spread, whereas you secular humanists only have bad news, even if you’re right. So why do you insist on being heard?”

2005-06-25

“Why not believe in God, since the only way you lose is by not believing?”

2005-06-25

  “Why do secular humanists and atheists—who are after all only a tiny minority in this country—insist on denying Christians the freedom to post the Ten Commandments in public places and to have neutral religious slogans, like Ohio’s motto, ‘Through God,
