I went to lunch during my state public information officer class, and while sitting in a restaurant, open the opinion page of my regional paper to this letter to the editor:

OH HELL NO

blaming “atheists and infidels” for the rise of mass shootings and “moral decay” in the USA.

For generations, America has rejected the Law of God at every turn. Atheists and infidels have pushed for and gotten the Ten Commandments removed from courthouses and schools. Many preachers tell their congregations the Ten Commandments have been done away with. In many schools, students and staff are told they cannot pray.

In the 1970s, the Supreme Court of the United States legalized abortion, giving Americans “freedom of choice” when it comes to killing innocent babies. God says He knew us in the womb and that alone tells us the unborn are real human beings who have a right to life.

While everyone in my village knows I am an atheist, I doubt this fellow who lives forty miles away does.

The newspaper circulates all over the Nebraska Panhandle and southeast Wyoming. Tens of thousands of people read this fellow’s assertions this morning (and there are worse in the letter than what I quoted here).

It’s been at least a month since the paper had it’s obligatory monthly letter from a liberal. Time to fire up the keyboard tonight before the paper’s deadline and out myself as an atheist to the whole west part of the state.

It has been said that atheists are the last group it is okay to discriminate against (which is probably not true, but nearly every atheist has experienced direct discrimination). That discrimination is why we are so under-represented in politics, divorce courts, and prisons.

I have to answer this Gish Gallop of religious and NRA talking points with only four hundred words. I expect afterward, when my name and town are printed in the paper, the hate calls will come in.
