"I have nothing against atheists ... It’s purely political."

[essentialsaltes]

Ian Thomas ran for the school board in somewhere-or-other. He's 22 and a recent college grad with a degree in biology. He also has an "I’m Proud to be an Atheist" bumper sticker on his car.

A political opponent sent a "Dear Neighbors" e-mail out, right before Election Day: "I want to be sure that you are aware that the Democratic ticket has aligned themselves with a devout atheist with (a) pro-atheistic bumper sticker on his car and writes pro-atheist letters to the editor."

Well, I guess this is only fair and reasonable, since the secular majority that dominates the country are always alerting people to candidates who have a Star of David or an ichthys fish on their cars.

Did I miss the sarcasm tags? I don't think I have ever heard an opponent smear someone by ratting them out as a Jew or a Christian. in fact, the 2004 election was "I'm more Christian than that other guy".

Sorry you're suffering a shitty mood, but you should have gotten no further than "the secular majority that dominates the country" before the sarcasm-or-Pat-Robertson sensor went off. I am not, as of this writing, Pat Robertson, ergo... sarcasm it is. Motivated mostly by the verbiage I read in a lot of Christian forums that lament how the atheists run everything in America.

Yes. Yes we do!

Now. Make me breakfast, bitch.

sorry. Was pretty sure, but all the sensors were wonky. We live in such an upside down world, someone could tell me anything and I would take it at face value because you know some asshole thinks that same way.

Religion and politics should have stayed on two different planets. This annoys the crap out me.
