Isn’t she sweet?
Don’t you love the argument that freedom of religion means you only HAVE to freedom to believe in something rather than nothing? It’s so common I barely notice it anymore, although I did enjoy this woman’s vitriolic and insane protest regarding the existence of atheists. It just goes to show how scared religious people are of nonbelievers; there is something odious in their eyes about our ability to reject mythology. If everyone around them doesn’t believe in the same thing they do, religionists suddenly freak the fuck out. Hey guys, if you are so convinced about the truth of your beliefs, why do you always act like a bunch of scared little bitches anytime someone challenges them? The lady doth protest too much, me thinks…
*NOTE* I’ve been told it’s actually a spoof. Snopes has the scoop, but as you may recall if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, I consider this sort of parody slightly annoying. If it’s too hard to tell, what the fuck is the point? There are already a bunch of idiots who believe everything this letter says; what exactly is this person parodying anyways?

There’s a problem here though, which occurs every time I read vitriolic nonsense like this. Are they really the ravings of a genuine Xtian half-wit, or actually written by someone making fun of them? It’s impossible to discern the difference, because, as we’ve noted before, Xtian rants are self parodying.
Is there really a place called “Soldotna”, or is it a clever anagram containing the answer?

Haha! Dude you crack me up. I’m in a useless meeting right now at work just browsing your blog, and the moment I read “freak the fuck out” I burst out laughing. No one else was amused.

It’s probably a hoax: http://www.peninsulaclarion.com/stories/030907/oped_0309ope001.shtml

Even if it’s a hoax – it’s still kind of typical of the fundies in this country.
I find the second paragraph hilariously ironic, too, maybe more reason it’s an obvious fake.

I don’t think “obvious” is the word to describe this parody… Far from it.

Well, on the off chance that this is a real letter, I extend a wholly warmhearted invitation to all 30+ Million American atheists who just metaphorically kicked out of their country to come live in Canada.
Not only would we jointly solve our economy problem with all the influx of new money and housing boom that would bring, you’re also likely to be the best and the brightest, studies have shown atheists tend to be smarter than average, and do your part to turn Canada into a powerhouse of science and reason envied by the world.
Besides, it’d really piss off the conservatives in Alberta and Stephen Harper and those two things that would just too fun to watch.

Just goes to show how fucking CRAZY the fundies really are, when we cant tell the difference between them and somebody making crazy shit up.
