1. Oh my. That dressing down has changed me back to a Christian.

Not.

Does this woman scare the shit out of you? Holy crap, I am in awe of the way some peoples' minds work.

"I don't care if they have never committed a crime, atheists are the reason crime is rampant." Um, really? Proof? Seems to me that a lot more Christians are linked to crimes than atheists. But what would this woman know---I am sure that she doesn't know any atheists, or doesn't know that she knows any.

Give me a fucking break!

5. Way more accidents are caused by sober drivers than by drunk drivers.

Let's outlaw driving sober!

[Curmudgeoness]

6. I'll do you one better....

Let's outlaw cars. Makes as much sense as our letter writer.

7. But that would be equal to outlawing any kind of belief or non-belief.

[Curmudgeoness]

9. So what's your point?

Might not be such a bad thing if society would just drop this whole subject.

13. A DADT-rule for religion? Doesn't sound that bad.

"Listen, you can belief what you want, you can do what you want, just f**king leave me out of this."

2. Yes, but you can hope that it walks in front of a bus

"So to all atheists in America: Get Off of our country." Fuck, people are stupid.

3. Poe's law strikes again

My question: if the word "atheist" were replaced with "African American", "gay" or "Jew", would the paper have even published the letter? And if not, what makes atheists so different that someone can spew obvious hate about us?

[JNelson6563]

4. Yes. Thank you.

The only group you could substitute for "atheist" in this letter and still get it published would be "illegal aliens"~~within the context of "git outta mah country!1!".

I find it unsettling and maddening.

14. This is why I love DU

Colbert should hire this woman.

15. Does the "Peninsula Clarion" get so few LTTEs that they have to publish this?

I believe that the editor was partial to this view.

16. "To be an atheist, you make a conscious choice."

Well .... yea.

Fair warning, if you run me off of the USA, you'll have to buy the ticket.
