It's usually interpretted that way but you can toss it out as I did and usually rouse any liberals about the place claiming that you can't read it like I suggested. Amendment 16 actually grants the power to lay and collect taxes, superceeding the interpretation I suggested.

If you hadn't noticed that was a law dictionary I quoted from so yes. Lawyers consider anything you own to be personal property. You claim to own the moon?

I'd advise you not to take up law. Legally, wages are property as is everything else a person owns...

So, my wages are not my private property? Who's property are they?

What about that final clause, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation"? Isn't that portion of my wage, private property, that is taken for public use, like welfare, a violation of this clause? I am not compensated for this in any way and certainly not justly.

I lack belief. The claim that there is or is not a God cannot be proven. That being the case, you could call me an agnostic atheist.

Not necessarily true. Atheism is simply a lack of belief. There are atheists that claim outright that there is no God but not all of them.

Yeah I know, I can't say they really bother me so much either. It's just the claim that it's the atheists that are attacking. I don't see them attacking anything and it's certainly not like they're attempting to get the government to outright deny God, they're just trying to stop the endorsements.

What about the perceived attack on the minority, the efforts by theists to achieve a government endorsement of a belief in God. It was theists that campaigned to have the words "Under God" added to the Pledge. It was religious sentiment that resulted in the term "In God We Trust" to be placed on our currency. Theist judges like Roy Moore of Alabama wish to present the 10 commandments in an isolated context. It is theists over and over again that seek a government that endorse their beliefs and as soon as an atheist says "hold on" you want to say it's the atheists that are attacking. We are not attacking, we simply want back the neutral government this country was founded on! These cases you speak of are simply the results of attacks by theists, don't blame atheists for fighting back.

I think I'm actually a slave to my pets, 1 snake, 1 dragon and 6 tarantulas. They do nothing but eat and lie around while I do the work of feeding them and taking care of their quarters for them....

It doesn't matter that they represent the majority or that the majority are theists. The 1st amendment explicitly states: Both USC 4 § 4: are laws of the United States passed by Congress that show a preference for theist belief and effectively declare a government belief for God. It's basically a moot point though because you'll never get a court full of theist judges to interpret the constitutionality of these congressional actions. They will simply find one legal particular or another to avoid the issue as they have thus far. Ummmm, no. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in god(s). It is not a faith or religion. It is not a belief system. See above... So. What has that got to do with the government declaring a belief in God. I'm not asking the government to declare that God doesn't exist of to deny any God. I simply want the government to remain officially neutral with no claim that God does or does not exist. The fact that theists argue so strongly that our government should keep these declarations that God exists is what is arrogant. See above.... Atheists are arrogant because they want the government to remain neutral? Don't you think that claim is arrogant? Why is there some burden on atheists to do anything to achieve a government for all that makes no declarations of some supernatural belief?

That's a two way street there. Consider the theists that are spreading religious endorsement by amending things like the Pledge of Allegiance with the words "under God" or religious judges trying to adorn the courthouse yard with a lone monument to the 10 commandments. I seem to remember one judge that even had his robe embroidered with the 10 commandments. These are not acts of a secular government. Then again, I've met very few Christians that actually want a secular government. Many actually endorse a touch of theocracy. Can you blame atheists for opposing this? A coin that says nothing of any God is secular, not atheist, but any action to simply remove the term is considered by theists to endorse atheism when that is false. To endorse atheism you would have to actually deny a belief in God on our coins. Why are efforts to enforce secularism considered atheist?

That he refused to answer does not imply they are true, that would require him to answer and confirm which he did not....

Grand juries are not required to charge military war criminals with capital crimes...

I can believe that. As an atheist in southern baptist country, I am often treated like satan himself. Southern baptists seem to equate atheists with satanists for some reason. When I ask many of them why they think there is a god they simply reply that is how they were raised. They don't seem to understand what they believe in or why, they are just blind followers; sheep. It makes me feel sorry for them.

This is common with pullets(young hens)....

Interesting? Me thinks you need to study your English some more. You are still getting your words mixed up.

Mine reflects my view...

This page should help non-U.S. riddlers to fill in the blanks on level 6....

Just because you failed history class doesn't mean you have to advertise it. Hitler killed millions in gas chambers simply because of their race. That Bush is a moron doesn't equate to this at all.

You're right. 10 was the end and lvl 6 does keep it from being an international riddle. Some will also swear the title on lvl 9 is wrong....

Yes, it's a real saint. The location Abe visited is in the same place that the Blair Witch project was made.

Level 9 simply says: I replaced the answer for level 8 with *s so it won't spoil it....
