Alter2Ego NewbieALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
In this continuation of the Kaufman case, notice that the Wisconsin Court specifically said the prison officials were in error when they did not treat atheism as a "religion" and that Kaufman, the atheist, had a right to his "religious beliefs." Again, keep your eyes on the words in bold print within the quotation.
---------------------------------------419 F.3d 678------------------------------------
-------------------James J. KAUFMAN, Plaintiff-Appellant,----------------------
--------------------------------------v.--------------------------------------------
--------------Gary R. McCAUGHTRY, et al., Defendants-Appellees.-------------
--------------------------------No. 04-1914.-------------------------------------
-----------United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.--------------------
--------------------Submitted October 26, 2004.*------------------------------
--------------------Decided August 19, 2005.-----------------------------------
We address his claim under the Free Exercise Clause first. An inmate retains the right to exercise his religious beliefs in prison. Tarpley v. Allen County, 312 F.3d 895, 898 (7th Cir.2002). The problem here was that the prison officials did not treat atheism as a "religion," perhaps in keeping with Kaufman's own insistence that it is the antithesis of religion. But whether atheism is a "religion" for First Amendment purposes is a somewhat different question than whether its adherents believe in a supreme being, or attend regular devotional services, or have a sacred Scripture. The Supreme Court has said that a religion, for purposes of the First Amendment, is distinct from a "way of life," even if that way of life is inspired by philosophical beliefs or other secular concerns. See Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205, 215-16, 92 S.Ct. 1526, 32 L.Ed.2d 15 (1972). A religion need not be based on a belief in the existence of a supreme being (or beings, for polytheistic faiths), see Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488, 495 & n. 11, 81 S.Ct. 1680, 6 L.Ed.2d 982 (1961); Malnak v. Yogi, 592 F.2d 197, 200-15 (3d Cir.1979) (Adams, J., concurring); Theriault v. Silber, 547 F.2d 1279, 1281 (5th Cir.1977) (per curiam), nor must it be a mainstream faith, see Thomas v. Review Bd., 450 U.S. 707, 714, 101 S.Ct. 1425, 67 L.Ed.2d 624 (1981); Lindell v. McCallum, 352 F.3d 1107, 1110 (7th Cir.2003).

ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
Look at the last portion of the above quotation that is quoted from the Court's website. Notice that it says the following: "A religion need not be based on a belief in the existence of a supreme being," which is a perfect description of the Religion of Atheism.

Dude, it's Wisconsin. The only thing they're good at is making cheese. No offense Wisconsin.

Those of you waiting around for me to respond to barberbob2-the-PITIFUL, keep hanging your tongues out waiting. Hold your breaths and start counting. Once you've passed out from a lack of oxygen, as soon as you come back to, repeat the process... and repeat it... and repeat....
FYI: I don't read most of the garbage barberbob2-the-PITIFUL posts on this forum. In fact, I informed him days ago that I intend to scroll past the trash he posts. I made a brief exception when he showed up in this thread by reading his first two posts. But reading those was enough to convince me that I'm wasting my time reading filth.
Whenever someone resorts to cursing out an opponent, that's the signal that they have no effective rebuttal and that they realize they are incapable of beating the opponent intellectually. So they resort to foul language and insults in an attempt at saving face. That's the type of behavior that comes only from a lowlife. That's why I simply scrolled past the latest rantings of barberbob2-the-PITIFUL without reading it.
Meanwhile, watch for more evidence that Atheism is Religion.
Cheers!

@Alter2Ego Well, since barberbob2 is probably one of the most respected people on GTQ that makes everyone think you're a dick even more. You can gtfo. We don't want you here.
-
And it's not. It's the exact opposite of religion. Atheism is the absence of religion, similar to how black is the absence of color.
-
Or are you going to argue about how the whole world is wrong and come up with some pitiful argument as to why black is not the absence of color but is in fact a color in its self?
-
In light, black is the absence of color. A solid black object is black because no color reflects off of it.
And Ego is going to ignore me? Excuse me while I hide my disappointment. -
And am I the only one who finds it hilarious that he's resorting to name calling, but was offended when I said fuck?
-
@Alter all of your posts are filth to me. They are too long and mean nothing and are pretty much just a bunch of words that don't make sense and you trail off topic.
-
DarkestKiss Novice@Alter Look, you really need to grow up. It almost seems like you've been living in a shell your whole life. Either that of you're just ignorant. Actually learn. Listen to what people have to say. Don't just shun them. Also, don't act all high and mighty. Nobody cares.
-
DarkestKiss Novice@barberbob I thought it was funny too.

As you can see, barberbob2-the-PITIFUL has been forced to recruit a cheerleading team to come to his aid. How pathetic is that? In so doing, barberbob2-the-PITIFUL's cheerleading team is acknowledging that their "hero" is no match for me intellectually.
I agree with them. He certainly needs their help against me.
KEEP HELPING HIM OUT, CHEERLEADERS!! Without you, he doesn't stand a chance. For that matter, even with you helping him out, he does not stand a chance when it comes to debating me. Especially since none of you are saying anything of substance. Frankly, if I were barberbob2-the-PITIFUL, I would fire the whole lot of you and get myself a better cheerleading team.
The fact that barberbob2-the-PITIFUL lapped is cowardly tail and ran from my "Precision in Nature" thread and refused to explain how 26 elements on the Periodic Table required the intervention of intelligent beings, but the 92 natural elements did not, says one thing: Intellectually dishonest.
Now, back to the topic of my thread. Below is more evidence of the mass killings by Joseph Stalin who belonged to the RELIGION OF ATHEISM. Keep in mind that Stalin did this to his own Soviet citizens.
SOURCE #4:
"2 JOSEPH STALIN
Soviet Union (1929-53) Regime Communist Victims 40 million
Lenin's paranoid successor was the runner-up to Mao in the mass-murder stakes. Stalin imposed a deliberate famine on Ukraine, killed millions of the wealthier peasants -- or 'kulaks' -- as he forced them off their land, and purged his own party, shooting thousands and sending millions more to work as slaves and perish in the Gulag."

Actually, numbnut, Bobert didn't call anyone. You fuck with one older member, you fuck with all of them. Especially when you mess with someone as respected as Bob. The only pitiful and pathetic person I see is you, dear.

As you can see, barberbob2-the-PITIFUL has taken my advice and added another mental midget to his cheerleading team, a lowlife going by the screen name Moyashi. True to form, whenever mental midgets have nothing of consequence to say, they resort to foul language in an attempt at making up for the intelligence they lack.
If Moyashi is the best you can come with, barberbob2-the-PITIFUL, you're in worse shape than I first imagined. Next round, see if you can find someone who at least have something of consequence to say. Thus far, you've failed to produce any such persons.
Meanwhile, I will dig up more info on the murderous members of the Religion of Atheism. Watch for more updates.

What the fuck did I just say? He's not even on right now, you ignorant twat. I was lurking about the forums and saw you insult my friend so I came in defense like a good friend does. e_e
Don't assume he told me to come here. I actually have a brain, unlike you, and free will. So I came on my own.
