President Obama rightfully "snatched" the win with the help of the people voting for him and preferring his policies and vision for this country over his opponents! That's what it all boils down to. We have to honor what the majority of American voters have declared with this election and Go Forward from here as the president has always said. There can be no doubt that the president's vision for this country truly resonated with the majority who voted for him and who chose to give him Four More Years! He ran a great campaign and harvested the results of his efforts!

Lol really? America doesn't hate god. Nearly 80% of Americans are Christian, and a little less than 5% aren't Christian but still worship some kind of god. Only roughly 16% don't consider themselves theists, and they don't HATE god, they have no belief. I genuinely don't understand what people are talking about when they say Americans "hate god", so if you can please educate me on your opinion I'd love to hear more.
I don't think the majority of America hates God, but there is a small, but growing, minority of people who do. Just locally, I've heard plenty of stories of Atheist being antagonistic toward Christians. Also, while Atheist have no belief, many do show prejudice towards Christians. You have to be blind not to see it, even C.S. Lewis acknowledged it some 60 years ago...
Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist. --C. S. Lewis

I'm not going to say that there aren't atheists that hate Christians. I've known some. But just as there are atheists that hate Christians, there are going to be Christians that hate atheists. No matter what group of people you have there are always going to be those that hate against them. It's human nature. However, I don't think most atheists have a hatred against Christians, and I think a lot - a lot, not all - Christians take an atheist's lack of belief as hate. That's just not the case.
And as far as atheists expressing rage against god, that's a little ridiculous because they have no belief in a god, how can they possibly hate or dislike one? If you have any emotion towards a god then you are, by definition, not an atheist.

If a Christian "hates" an Atheist, that doesn't make them much of a Christian in my book. I can disagree with someone's beliefs but that doesn't mean I hate them. I don't take the lack of belief as hate, I take their antagonistic communication with Christians as hate.
And Atheist do rage against God, they don't want anything to do with Christian principles and most complain at the drop of a hat with regard to anything relating to Christianity. That's why it seems ridiculous, because in their view he does not exist yet they are so antagonistic toward anything religious.

When I see comments like this I usually translate them to "If it wasn't for those darn Republicans in the House Obama could pass anything he wanted and everything would be great". The problem is that to Democrats "compromise" means "The Republicans capitulate" and when they don't capitulate the Democrats paint them as obstructionists.
I'm sure that Republicans could be persuaded to agree to a slight bump in the upper tax rate in exchange for defense spending not being cut, but what will probably happen is Obama and the Democrats drop a plan that hikes the upper tax rate and cuts defense spending and say "Deal with it".

Well I can't necessarily speak for your experience with atheists because I wasn't there. I have seen, though, atheists upset with Christians because they feel like beliefs are being forced on them, and when this happens time and time again I think atheists can become ill-tempered. However, if they're tracking down christians for an argument or being blatantly rude for no reason, then they might have a personal problem with Christians, and at that point it's probably best to just leave the conversation.
And as for atheists raging against god, I think what atheists are actually raging against is Christianity and it's followers. "they don't want anything to do with Christian principals". Well, yeah. They're not Christians so of course they don't want anything to do with Christian principals. That's not a problem with god, that's just a different opinion and value system.

How could it possibly be? Atheists don't believe in god. Period. They have no problem with god because they don't think there is one. Bad example, but to put it in perspective it's like someone trying to convince you the tooth fairy is real. You tell them you don't believe in the tooth fairy, and they respond by saying you must hate the tooth fairy. Of course you don't hate the tooth fairy. Why would you hate something that's not real? Does that make sense?

I know, and what amazes me is that people (including my parents) will buy into this "Republican Obstruction" argument. When they wouldn't have to be obstructionists if Obama would actually try to meet them somewhere in the middle. Honestly despite Obama's talk he's probably the least flexible president in recent history. Bush and Clinton both worked with a Congress that was completely controlled by the opposing party, and they got things done, so Obama has no excuse in my mind.
