So it is late, and I know this is a lot of pictures, but this is just a few of the comments available on the Fox News page on Facebook regarding the American Atheist lawsuit regarding the 9/11 cross. For the full article regarding these go here and thank you to playthequeen who sent me the link tonight. It should be evident that many of these comments are absolutely disgusting.
This type of thing is absolutely hideous and shows another example of why it is still difficult to be an Atheist is America. The fact that these people can say these things under their own names on a page visible to anyone is absolutely horrifying and many of them should be investigating for making serious death threats over the internet. It’s hard to imagine that many main stream news outlets will pick up a story about these disturbing and disgusting comment but it needs to be known.
Take a look at these comments and for just a moment replace any instance of Atheist with the word “black” or “Jews” or any other minority group. It would be considering a clear hate crime and there would be rightful reason for people of that group to be concerned with the lunacy of some of these individuals. Is this the Christian spirit of America? It is absolutely disgusting. The entire state of Christianity in this country is absolutely disturbing to the point where I honestly worry about some of the “extremists” among them. That term is on the verge of becoming more applicable in America.
Even the religious should easily condemn the people who make these disgusting comments. The American Atheist association is working within the confines of the law and even if you disagree with what they are doing it does not give anyone the right to make these types of comments. I have a great deal of respect for Dave Silverman, and I honestly worry for his safety and the safety of Blair Scott (who I don’t know enough about to comment on) when people are willing to openly make these types of statements in a public format. Congratulations Fox news, this is what you inspire.
This kind of crazy is why I don’t want to live in America.
