About a week ago, a group of people filed a lawsuit in New York to prevent a cross from being erected within the World Trade Center memorial without equal opportunity for other religions who wish to have memorials there as well.
According to the lawsuit, among the 2,792 people killed in the twin towers, 31 were Muslim Americans, approximately 400 to 500 were Jewish Americans, approximately 500 were non-religious Americans, and an unknown number were Americans of other faiths. (So, about half of the people who died were not Christian.)
Additionally:
No other religious or non-religious group has been permitted a memorial.
Fox News had some discussions about this event including this one.
Fox News on the WTC Cross Lawsuit
Clearly Christians are angry. They later had Blair Scott, Communications Director for American Atheists, on a show to talk about the lawsuit and immediately the Fox News Facebook page was flooded with thousands of comments. I would link to the post, but apparently Fox removed it. Not before several comments were screen captured though.
Keep in mind, this blog post is not about whether or not the Cross or any other religious things should be allowed at the WTC Memorial, which incidentally is mostly funded with hundreds of millions of dollars of US taxpayer money from people of all religions, including non-religious people.
What it is about however is the swift, brutal and violently extreme comments that self-professed Christians made immediately following Blair Scott’s appearance to express his views on Fox TV.

Paul Altum
i say kill them all and let them see for themselves that there is God
Bob O’Connell
Shoot them. Shoot to kill.
Joe Martinez

Joseph Sneckenberg
thats easy shoot them
Casey M Jones
Shoot em. At least we know where they’re going, waste of oxygen
Mike Holeschek
Nail them to the cross then display it.
Chris Dunn
I thinly we should hang the leader of that group on the cross with nails through their hands and feet, place a crown of thorns upon their head, RAM a spear through their side all after being whipped and beaten publicly! Just so they can endure what Christ dod so they understand the sacrifice behind what that cross symbolizes.
Bob O’Connell
They’re atheists so it won’t matter if you kill them.
Tim Allison
KILL THEM.
Richard Silvia
someone show me where they live&and they will live no mere!
Raylene Ingmire
Here’s my solution, kill the group..just kidding, you figure it out. I’m so sick of people that pick and choose when they want to truly be American. They can go to Hell oh wait they will.
Sindy Clock
stupid atheists, I hope God kills them all.
Sindy Clock
I love Jesus, and the cross and if you dont, I hope someone rapes you!
Eileen Rourke
Any court or lawyer who takes this case should be hung!!!! If you look at some of the people who are atheists they are all miserable looking because they don’t have any faith in anything. You should all go live in another country. You have taken enough of my rights away.
Hans Anderson
atheist has no rights a snail has more rights than a atheist has I say throw them out to the sharks let them eat them like the ate bin laden
Michael Perri
these people are f’ing scum of the earth. can we start killing them now? few groups are filled with more hatred than atheists.
Scott Miller
IF THE CROSS OFFENDS YOU: SO SHOULD THIS COUNTRY; LEAVE BEFORE WE KILL YOU!!!!
Patrick Alley
Kill em all…let God sort em out. Guess what Atheists…
So, What Do You Think?
There have also been a lot of Tweets related to this issue, but I’m really wondering what YOU think about it?
- Christians, is it really acceptable to say, “I’m not like them. Those aren’t real Christians!” After all, the people who made these comments would say the exact same thing about you.
- Non-Christian people who identify with another religion, do you think your religion should be able to display a memorial to the believers who died alongside the Christians?
- Non-believers, is it really so important to warrant a national campaign to not allow a single Christian symbol at a monument for the dead?
I am DYING to hear what you guys think…
“few groups are filled with more hatred than atheists.”
Says the person who wants to kill athiests because that think differently than you
I’m only a kid and I’m an atheist and I’m actually really afraid right now. Why do Christians have to force their beliefs on us!? I have no problem with the cross there as long as other religions can put their symbols there. Seriously r the gonna kill me?! I’m 10!!
My opinion is that, in any situation like this where Christianty wants to be represented, all religions should also have that right to be represented. I would bet that if it was a Muslim, Wiccan or Buddhist symbol or any other one for that matter, Christians would lose their minds.
Thou shalt not kill, except atheists. It’s in the Bible.
This is much ado about nothing. Who cares about silly comments? Let’s not stoop to the level of the authoritarians who want to censor free speech under the guise of hate speech and such. Better to let the jerks talk, so we know who they are.
So, how would YOU like it if we Atheists turned around and demanded the brutal murder of you theists?
Oh we would be hearing Christians screaming about how our free speech should be censored.
i am atheist but i understand why people have religion and thin it is a good this it brings people together eg Christmas and all other festavals
The atheists murdered tons of Christians and Jews in the past and they still do so in the present (just look at North Korea and China as examples), so turnabout is fair play on them if they keep doing that to Christians and Jews. The same thing ALSO applies to ANYONE that slaughters Christians and Jews, REGARDLES of their religious beliefs in their lives, period, full stop. If you do not like these facts, then you simply should be smart and not support stupid and senseless causes against Christians and Jews, period, full stop.
The Christians have mirdered millions. Native Americans, Jews, pagans, Muslims, other denominations of Christianity and many more. Learn the history of your own religion. It’s always ok for Christians to slaughter, rape and pillage but let anyone else do it and it’s a sin…hypocrites.
All atheists should support the right to bear arms and be prepared to use that right!
IF these hate mongers and murderous people are representatives of Christianity, I am glad to be an Atheist.
I am proud to!
Those are obvious trolls, having a kick out of your gullible idiocy.
Yeah, none of those are actual truthful comments…it’s all a conspiracy.
Good luck with the paranoid schizophenia, nutjob.

New International Version
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
I would like to say sorry to all other faiths, or people who believe in no God. All the “Christians” in those comments clearly do not read the Bible. people like them have given our faith a horrible name. I have no problem with any other religion being represented in the memorial. Please understand that not all of us are like that. All of us deserve hell, and i honestly don’t know why God lets in the people he does. I wish these “Christians” would understand how ignorant that they sound and apologize to all of you but sadly that will most likely not happen so I will say sorry on behalf of all true believers. I love you all, and have a wonderful day.
Thank you, finally a normal Christian
I’m not here to be rude, even though I’m Christian and you’re all atheists. I just want to say that those people aren’t real Christians. Our religion is about love but some people, like the people who think atheists should die, will always find ways to twist it and ruin the meaning of it. We believe that God loves even the lowliest of criminals and wishes for them to change. I feel that those people misrepresent my religion and don’t deserve to be called Christians. They’re just a bunch of crazy idiots who believe that death and suffering are the only answer to any question. I hope they find the true meaning of the teachings of Jesus Christ and learn to love everyone.
I mean you telling us Christianity is about love and then naming us the lowliest of criminals totally improves my general idea about Christians :D
I find these comments useful.
Useful whenever someone tells me that morality always springs from religion and that religious people are more likely to be moral than godless heathens like me!
There will only be peace when we realize that we are all ONE.
Claims by fearful people in pain that they are right and all others wrong only sadden me. I am all my brothers and sisters. I AM THAT.
I AM.
Just to take issue with the list of people killed.
It was the World Trade Centre, so there were quite a few NON-americans (obviously the majority were American)
Im an atheist. I wouldnt have campaigned against displaying the cross, and if others had wanted a memorial then they could ask to do so. I also dont understand why the symbol gives hope, as if god had been interested he would have intervened, if he were real? That said..thats my viewpoint, but i think understanding and tolerating others is important. Sadly Im not surprised by the hate shown in the christian comments displayed, where violence, harshness and joy at the cruel punishment of others is foremost before any ‘love’.
And it’s the “cross” that they found in the rubble…. Oooooh miraculous…… What are the chances that there were two pieces of steel still stuck together? Seriously?
Why is it that the most vile and hate-filled words come out of the mouths of those so filled with a Gods love?
Most Christians treat the bible like an computer end user agreement. They simply scroll to the bottom and click I agree. I have never felt the need to be threatened by someone who can’t read
well.. that’s just talk of some very disturbed people.. It seems to almost be cultural in America.. solve your problems with a gun!.. I can’t for the life of me fathom any reasoning behind these peoples responses other than, they must be of a very very low intelligence
If being a Christian makes you act like these people, so full of anger, hate, misery and murderous tendencies, I am so happy that I am a loving, compassionate atheist!
Reading all this. I do not know what to think.
OR these socalled Christians are dumb or very dangerous => wanting to kill other human beings!!!
To all the religious fanatics out there… Christians, jews and islam!!
Is it moral for Abraham to murder his son to prove his obedience to his “God”? Or is it absolutely immoral? And if you are capable of killing you own offspring to demonstrate absolute obedience, what are you not capable of? Is there any act you will refuse to perform, no matter how murderous and immoral? The suicide maniacs of Islam have reached the conclusion that murdering innocents and killing yourself at the same time is the quintessence of martyrdom…the act of which “God” most approves. And there is no question that as faithful Abrahamists they are entirely right to reach this conclusion.
The Devil’s greatest trick isn’t getting you to think he doesn’t exist. Quite the reverse. It’s getting you to think he’s God and that you must obey him without question. Devil worshippers aren’t a rare exception in our world – they’re the norm. Just take a look at our present day situation on earth and where all the hate comes from.
It’s facebook, meaning it’s likely half of the comments are from people who have nothing better to do then troll facebook. It’s likely that a lot of those posts are not even by Christen folk. Nevertheless, it is clearly not representation from Christianity, as Christian’s believe in peace and avoiding conflict. Pulling comments from a Facebook page is hardly news. Maybe you should consider citing a Christen leader.
Christians should grow up. And start excepting people what have different or no believes.
…they as so high on their thrones of false hope they believe they are better because they believe lies from an book people wrote a long time ago…..it pitiful hahaha no wonder christians get murdered. They don’t know their place. Hypocrites, close minded, pitiful, fantasy believing idiots. Killing atheists won’t sove the problem because christians ARE the problem. Go kill yourselfs instead and make the world a less judge mental ,idiotic place.
Excuse me for some obvious sentence fragments, alas you have to filter out some of the more direct words such as, death, kil torture and , or maim. – The Follower #78
No matter what people say or how much they bicker. The Folower #1, will put anyone who doesn’t accept the Lord or want to leave this country after the Upheaval. Aethiests are one of the many viruses that afflict this world and satan is the one with the syringe to ours necks, all to ready to euthanize us. – The Folower #78
Lol! First of all, the only thing atheists want is for the religious people to keep their religion to themselves! We really don’t give a rats behind if you want to believe in God, but realize that this is not now, nor has it EVER been a Christian nation. We are the “great melting pot” we have people of all races, faiths, genders, nationalities….. There can NEVER be a national religion. The article was about weather or not it was right to have the cross erected at ground zero and not represent the hundreds of other faiths of the people that died that day. The answer is, if we are going to have one, we should have all. If you religious people could manage to keep your personal religion PERSONAL, That’d be great!
True believers of any stripe (and a rabid atheist is as true a believer in their own version of reality as anyone), are the bane of humanity. They refuse to think critically, or accept data and facts that are contrary to their belief system. Anyone confronted by someone of differing opinion and belief who says “kill them all” is a sad excuse for a human being. Oh well.
“Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest”

These comments appear to be as extreme and violent as anything put out by Al Qaeda or the Taliban or any other Muslim extremists. Christians are every bit as dangerous as Muslims, and their holy book says the exact same things about how they should treat unbelievers. Anyone suggesting murdering others not of their group should be considered terrorists and treated as such, whether Muslim, Christian, or some other political or social organization. Anyone not cooperating in terrorist investigations should be considered an accomplace… and given the same sentence we give to terrorists. In case of a corporation, it could be executed by jailing its board of directors for life, taking its assets and selling them to pay for court costs and distributing it among any actual victims.
I believe this is no accident of faith. Religion is all too often considered to be a peaceful doctrine when it is, in fact, often the opposite. There are plenty of prescriptions to kill unbelievers in the Bible and the Qur’an. I think that the best course of action is to acknowledge that these religions are intolerant of any one outside of the faith. And then it is time to take a stand. It’s high time that societies come together and stop tolerating intolerance.
When any religious group begins to express themselves with hate rhetoric and hate mongering it has lost it’s way. Religion is supposed to be about love, compassion, faith and not about control, fear and hate. I am ashamed of the comments that are shown above that would kill atheists because they are trying to make a point. IF a memorial is to be placed at the ground zero of 911, it should represent all of those lost. Perhaps a memorial that incorporates all the faiths, and those of non faith at once. Rather than a symbol that does not represent but possibly half of those that died. A large monument of the emergency response team with a base plaque of every person (a faith symbol may be attached following the name) who lost their lives in that tragedy. Would that be a symbol that all could agree on??
You should correct the mangled apostrophes in the names so their vitriol is properly attributed to their name. Especially handy for the next time someone Google searches them when they’re job searching.
Excellent suggestion. Done! :-)
“Non-believers, is it really so important to warrant a national campaign to not allow a single Christian symbol at a monument for the dead?”
Yes. Read your own article and you’ve got all the justification you need to campaign against religion at any turn.
@Josh, if I could respectfully point out, not all of us religious individuals are the same, and not all spew the hateful diatribe seen here.
While I agree that religion should not be included in a taxpayer funded memorial to a tragedy affecting those of myriad beliefs, at the same time the call to “campaign against religion at any turn” seems a mite excessive. Can we fight the hate with peaceful co-existence instead? (First round on me!)
-A Jewish reader
Based on that video some of those people on Fox are ready to say some of the same things. It just makes me feel so sad, all of this hate and bigotry…
The only thing I can and want to say about this is, “If one person has an imaginary friend, they’re crazy, if many people have the same imaginary friend it’s religion.”
I wish them love and wisdom,
Peter the atheist
Nice to see all this Christian forgiveness here. You are all saying kill them,
Doesn’t you bible say tho shall not kill? Do on to others as you would be done to?
Turn the other cheek? Why are you all so into killing and raping others who think
differently from you. Christians where once persecuted for that. Shame on you all.
Drop the labels for a moment, and pay attention.
Look at everyone on this planet as a human being, without discrediting their existence.
They all have their own versions of reality.
Every law, and the very God they follow is very real to them.
Is it not despicable, that when confronted with criticism and questions by those curious and doubtful.
That they’d turn to violence and death threats? What type of people are those?
They are irrational, and trapped in a world that lacks reason.
These people need help, because their solution is to kill off their problems, instead of trying to understand why they are being questioned.
I am eternally grateful that Stalin, Mao, and others rid this world of millions of Christians. Part of why I exercise my 2nd amendment rights is to blow Christians away if they try to harm and my fellow atheists.
KILL EM ALL! LET JESUS CHRIST SORT EM OUT!
Aw, now you’re just as bad as they are, this makes me sad….
OK Sindy clock is a gay man named Jim Goonan he hates Christians and Sindy Clock is his fake profile that he use’s all over FB and the NET to make Christians look bad by saying really dumb crap. So anything he says just know its coming form a fake profile. I know him and he brags about this on one of my facebook debate pages.
I don’t know how Fox News gets away with half the stuff they get away with. They whip their viewers, who, by the way, are some of the most uneducated, overly-emotional, and extreme people this country has to offer, into frenzy with mostly lies or wordsmithing, then, after they’re all foaming at the mouth, they apologize and act like it was a mistake. It’s only a matter of time before some of the people who post comments like that to Facebook will actually start hunting down people who disagree with them. And Fox will hide behind the 1st Amendment…of course.
Granted, I think some of those Facebook posts are just people trolling, but some of them probably were actually legitimate threats. Most atheists don’t care about this, and the fact that some of these people who comment on Fox News generalize and say all atheists are miserable and faithless haters simply are a perfect example of the groupthinkers that now control this country (even though they are the minority).
Concerning the cross, I really don’t care if they display it as long as other faith groups and other non-religious groups can display their symbols if they so desire. Being an outspoken atheist, however, I can attest that hatred and bigotry against atheists are very real. I have received death threats and have had my property vandalized by so-called christians. I hate to think what my fate may be if the religious right suceeds in making america into a christian theocracy.
First, many of those posts ostensibly made by Chrstians may not have been.
Second, notice the hate coming from the atheist commenters?
Who ya kiddin? Atheists have killed Millions and MILLIONS when they had the poltical power to do so.
JD: Did Stalin and Mao outkill the Crusades? I seriously doubt it. Second, where are these atheist commenters? The only one I can see above you is a person noting that she has no problem with religious displays by Christians so long as every other religion gets to put up their stuff as well, and further noting that as an atheist, she has been subjected to death threats. I fail to see the hate in that statement, and yours, accusing hers of hatred, seems to me to be the only hatred in this thread.
You probably also think that opposing Israel’s apartheid-style policies toward Palestinians is the same as anti-Semitic hatred. Bully.
hate from atheists?? we learned it from u ,
atheist killer dictator?? where??
like all those good kristian massmurderers like hiter mussolinni franco fidel ..and all the south american dictators and ur republican fashist leader? ??
and stalin , 5 yrs orthodox priest student that was even feared by lenin (a jew converted to lutherism) and called him the “jesuit infiltrant“ ??
when stalin came into power, only 2500 orthodox churches where in existance ..when he died, 25.000
mao ..the buddist that became the highest that is to be achieved by buddism , becoming a god king himself//u know why he never washed?? go read buddism !!
korean dictators tried to do the same as mao ..and succeeded..
pol pot , buddist too ..
na where is there to be red in history of the great atheistic armies killig and slaughtering te religious, ??
its the other way a round ..u liar !!
Did they kill on the name of atheism? No. They killed in the name of political power. They just happened to be atheist.
This cements the fact that the internet is a place for people to express there opinion that no one cares for outside of the internet as for christians saying kill rape they are defending there beliefs through how they have viewed to through society through statements such as this atheist and religous people both are guilty of this I have seen through many websites that both express hate at times due to anger and because I see things in a nuetral view I have also noticed that religous groups comments or other everyday mishaps seem to be magnefied by media such as this article and considering 96% of americans believe in a god it seems that atheists are trying to make religions look bad through media but the truth is atheists are the minority its a fact plain and simple the fact that religion is exploited through media only HELPS prove that the bible is accurate due to it saying your faith will be tested through false testemony of man christians have been exploited heavly
I don’t care what people believe as long as it does not affect me and I will not bother you for your beliefs or where you put the symbols of your faith. However if you tell me I must die because I don’t believe in your God, then we have a problem. And if you try to hurt my family, my friends, and me or for that matter any innocent person then look out brother I’m coming too kick your ass. If all the Christians that advocate death too Atheists were born into a Muslim country then they would have grow up hating America and would fly airplanes into our buildings. As an Atheist I’m not worried, after all the most power weapons in the world were all developed by Atheists. Christians who want to kill us wouldn’t stand a chance.
To me, the point is that no other religious group has been allowed a memorial. People got up in arms when people wanted to put a mosque near Ground Zero, so how is it okay to sanctify the cross? It’s not like every Muslim is a terrorist, or terrorist sympathizer, or even anti-Christian. If there are memorials there, they should be inclusive. I don’t have a problem with the cross. I have a problem with its exclusivity.
Aren’t Christians suppose to believe that God loves everybody? Isn’t one of the commandments thou shalt not kill? What the hell is wrong with Christians anymore? What happened to tolerance being taught? Christians need to learn that Christianity isn’t the only religion on earth. They need to grow the hell up, stop hating people, and learn to tolerate people. This is why I don’t consider myself a Christian anymore, I don’t want to be grouped in with all of these extremists.
The christians changed history in their favor. They deprive us of the truth, the reality, and even freedom. America is not a christian country! Some of our founding fathers were atheist! I think we should revolt in protest on the grounds that America has been shrouded is and has been shrouded in lies like a child. The people should fight for their right! In god we trust? Bullshit. The corrupted USA government put that their. The founding fathers wanted seperation of church and state. Pledge of alleegeance is said in schools, no seperation at all, in fact they are mashed together closer than an ass to a chair! We even lie to our children about how it really is and was. I think the pope brings them in, then they are recruited in the religous campaign. Its a virus that has no other cure! They keep coming, never answering our question, giving us the beleive or die thing. Honestly, i am a communist theorist, and my problem is that religion is why we are in such deep shit. See your god kill hundreds or more with natural causes like hurricanes, desease, and other things. So please look at yourself and ask, WHAT THE FUCK! Good day to you sir.
I am Atheist, but I respect other’s and their religious views and beliefs, but I feel that neither side is “in the right” here. Atheists, some people who were affected by this tragedy have gotten through it because of their faith and letting them have a memorial harms NO ONE. Christians, doling out death threats to a group of people because they don’t believe in the same thing as you pretty much goes against your whole damn religion. Thou shalt not kill? Love thy neighbor as thyself? Stop judging everyone and live your own damn life.
You have the wrong Paul Altum. Please remove the link to his Facebook page.
Thank you.
This is pointless and stupid. You can get anyone on the internet to say anything they want anonymously, including what atheists say about Christians on their own forums.
I’m in several atheist groups on Facebook. I’ve never seen people wanting to kill religious people. We can back up claims of their ignorance. We can prove the harm religion has caused the world. Atheists don’t fly planes into buildings for the cause of atheism. You made a false equivalency.
Don,t forget!!!
1. We have to day, 4 Nuclearwars of Christianity with Name George Bush and Geroge W. Bush!!!
2. We have to day, Thank US-Christian Criminal Politic, 400.000 Nagasakis for D.U. Bombs!!!
3. And Mitt Ronmey said: I help Israel for new War against Iran! This is a christian Politic!
4. War with Iran, we have after may be 1.000.000 Nagasakis, World is a fucket!!!
Atheist!
For me it’s not just a matter of ‘Our tax dollars’ being used to erect a symbol of any religion (specific or not).
When it comes down to it, ‘churches’ not being taxed means that We pay for ALL ‘churches’ by not having the revenue that would otherwise have been generated.
If the ‘churches’ can’t/won’t use ‘their own (tax-free) money’ to erect monuments on ‘their own (tax-free) property’, and continually insist on the ‘right’ to encroach on Public Space and use Public Funds to promote the religious views instead, then I’d say that their priorities have been made perfectly clear.
The almighty $ and the attempt at enforcing personal/arbitrary religious views (De Facto Theocracy) on ALL are the priorities for them. IMPO
Tax the churches-!
Religion should be restricted to their places of worship and the believers’ homes. It should not be mixed with politics. It should not be made public.
Typical Christians- Those redneck, inbred hicks want to kill us all because we’e a little bit different.
We must all come to the realization that it is the almighty that is in total control of the universe. At one time all christians were unbelivers,that is until the Father brought them to Christ. Jesus is Love and gave his Life that all could live, he came to the pit of hell to rescue us all from our own selfs.God is a Spirt and those that worship , must do so in the spirt. All have fallen short of the glory of God and it is Love that brings us back.
Life is a stream that bestows infinite tidings blessings and dreams to all mankind.
Jesus said to pray for those who persecute you, to forgive your enemies seven times seventy. Paul says the
entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself. The acts of the sinful nature
are obvious: hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, dissensions, factions, to name a few. Those who live like
this will not inherit the kingdom of God. The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Why are people so willing to kill for what they believe in, but so unwilling to believe in what it teaches? The Lord’s prayer say to forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Ezekiel tells us that God will deal with us according to our conduct, and by our own standards he will judge us. Lot got drunk and had sex with his own daughters, but yet Peter tells us that lot was a righteous man. Paul tells us that he cares very little if he is judged by man or any human court. He says his conscience is clear, but that does not make him innocent, because it is the Lord who judges him. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden, and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. As James tells us there is only one lawgiver and one judge. Paul tells us in Romans 14:4, Who are you to judge someone else’s servant. Paul also tells us in 1 Cor. 5:12-13, What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? God will judge those outside. Jesus also said let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I think that rules out most of us?
google = plenty of fish astrocosmo
i need your help, a cross wearing cult involved.
i need your help!
I was reading the comments and there was at least 15 comments one after the other saying that atheists should be killed, and many ways to do it are suggested, and that it does not matter if we are killed because we are only atheist after all ,well,I am an ATHEIST and i am wondering what kind of good evangelical born again christian would be so full of hate to write these things.
There is a law suit from American Atheist because it is AGAINST THE LAW to have the state favor one religion over an other.
I think that the Muslim religion is just as stupid and crazy as the Christian religion and all the other magic man or magic people in the sky religions, but, i think that a bunch of my atheist friends should get together and build a thirty foot Muslim crescent moon right next that i beam cross.
After all, 31 Muslim died in this religious extremist attack, and lets see how Christians feel about that. Maybe then they will understand why IT IS THE LAW to have a separation of church and state.
And also come to the conclusion that only religious extremist would push for the massacre of law defending American citizens.

Why are all these people acting as if atheists have no rights? It’s embarrassing! What happened to the “love thy neighbour” part of Christianity? Christians who act like this are not true Christians. These people are the reason why atheists hate Christians so much.
All through history Christians have murdered people in the name of god. After I realized the only thing you needed to be president of the US was an alcoholic, drug addict, womanizing background and money, oh yes the I am a born again Christian. I then understood that I was an idiot for believing in all of this crap. I used to say things like that but GW Bush opened my eyes and I no longer believe in any of the invisible beings in the sky and I don’t believe in Ghost, or UFOs or magic but I do believe that anyone has a right to believe as they like as long as they don’t interfere with anyone’s income or cause harm to another. i do believe all religions should have a right to erect whatever they want on “ground zero” as long as my tax dollars are not paying for it.
Whether or not they are Christians does not matter to me. They are hate-mongers. They fit my definition of evil. Don’t we have laws against advocating murder. Don’t we have laws against hate speech. This is what we should be concerned about. This is the type of attitude that resulted in the attack on the twin towers. This is a threat to our national security. This is where mass murderers get their fuel. Isn’t there something that can be done about it. Monuments in vacant lots, however sentimental, pale in the face of this kind of inflammatory tirade. Who cares about stone and metal when live’s are at stake.
