I was spit on, my property was vandalized, my family was harassed, all because I was a "God hating commie." Of course there never seemed to be any witnesses and when I complained to the authorities, I was called a "faggot" to my face. When I complained to one of the local pastors, he wondered why he hadn't seen me or my family in church... Even the union couldn't do anything unless I could produce a paper trail or witnesses.<BR/><BR/>It was in a small town with one grocery store. When we would drop in, all cashiers would go on break, leaving the manager to tend to us. My wife was so upset we ended up doing ALL our shopping out of town. <BR/><BR/>I realized nothing and no one was worth that kind of trouble and I left teaching forever. That was fifteen years ago and I've never regretted it a minute. I have, however, watched the educational and social scene closely and I can tell you it's only getting worse.<BR/><BR/>In the Minneapolis Star Tribune, for instance, when I moved here as a result of my new career in nursing, the paper had a beautiful section called Science and Technology. There was always something interesting in it, and always something for kids that wasn't condescending. I subscribed for that very section. <BR/><BR/>About five years ago it disappeared. It was replaced with a 'Faith and Values' section. You can just guess which filthy faith and which hypocritical values are being discussed. Now we see a Time magazine cover story with the monumentally ignorant belief that a book of filthy plagiarized lies should be taught in schools in bald faced violation of the very principles of this country. <BR/><BR/>It's exhausting to even think about the ignorance and superstitions rising in this country. In this age of political correctness damn few have the courage to say to these fools:<BR/><BR/>"If you believe in a completely unoriginal, poorly copied fairy tale of blood and hatred like Christianity, you should be sterilized."<BR/><BR/>Until these cancerous sub-par fools stop breeding and making more clones of their ignorant selves, mankind simply has no future.<BR/><BR/>And people wonder why atheists are so cranky....<BR/><BR/>(Oh, and CB Dan Y-B Marvin, don't even reply. Your slimy sh**t is not appreciated when we are talking amongst ourselves.)Strakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683049375019585585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-71723651672165623482007-03-31T18:05:00.000-05:002007-03-31T18:05:00.000-05:00When I was in high school (in the Bibble Belt), ev...When I was in high school (in the Bibble Belt), everyone else knew that my group of friends were nothing but atheists, agnostics, and other "weirdos."<BR/><BR/>If it'd been just me, I'm sure things would've turned out different, but since there were about a dozen of us (and considering we were also the "freaks" and "metalheads") we never got harassed. (So much for those hard-ass "Christian soldiers," huh?)<BR/><BR/>That's what really pisses me off about this sort of thing; it's usually a group of pissed-off, hypocritical fundies against a lone non-believer.<BR/><BR/>It's seems they're only effective when they outnumber people and threaten harm or ostracism. And they're most effective when they skip the "threat" stage.The Rev. Jenner J. Hullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507103672869323377noreply@blogger.com
