An Atheist’s Open Letter to Those Praying for His Son

[beam me up scottie]

11. That comment was from a DUer.

Apparently the father's blog post directed at his followers was so offensive they just couldn't stop themselves from slandering the guy.

Which is why it was posted there in the first place - so they could sneer at him.

I'm sure they're pleased with themselves.


And your linked thread is a whole lot of wtf?

Here’s a question I did not see posed. Why in the world do those going on mission trips expect others to pay for it? I have a friend who went to Romania on a 10-day trip. Four of the days were spent traveling. So, for $3,000 he played with children at camp. He discussed at length how wonderful it was, and how it had really changed his life. That’s fine and well, but if he wants to spend 6 days playing with children, participating in an experience which broadened his horizons, he should pay for it. I am involved in dog rescue. $3,000 would go a really long way in helping homeless animals. I just don’t get it, and I believe it’s absurd.

John Wylie says;

Amy,

Even comparing mission trips to animal rescue is a little on the absurd side. If what this man did was impact even a single child for a eternity it’s more important than rescuing a thousand dogs.

So burdening one poor child with a lifetime of useless guilt so they can worship an imaginary abusive father figure is better than saving the lives of a thousand animals who are actually abused?


Thank you for yet another reason to be glad I'm not a sick twisted brainwashed fucking piss poor excuse for a human being.

And they wonder why we have a problem with religion...
