Atheists Meeting With the White Houses, Pisses off Fundies

Crazy Christians, freedom in America means we all have the right to express our views that is all we are doing in this case.

"It is one thing for Administration to meet with groups of varying viewpoints, but it is quite another for a senior official to sit down with activists representing some of the most hate-filled, anti-religious groups in the nation," says In God We Trust's Chairman Bishop Council Nedd.”

Nedd seems to be horrified at the prospect that atheists, like any other group in America, are protected by the right to free speech. The government willingly listens to activists who oppose same-sex marriage and rights for gays and lesbians. Therefore, its decision to meet with atheist groups is merely a step towards taking in all view points. Free speech protects all view points, even ones that some may view as hateful.

“"President Obama seems to believe that it is a good idea to have a key senior aide plan political strategy with people who believe faith in God is a disease," Nedd says. "Some of the people in this coalition believe the world would be better off with no Christians and no Jews and they aren't shy about it. The fact that this meeting is happening at all is an affront to the vast majority of people of all faiths who believe in God."

As an atheist I can say that the world wouldn’t be better off with no Christians and no Jews (notice how he doesn’t mention other faiths that exist in America). The world wouldn’t be very different from the way it is now. On a personal level I wouldn’t find myself sitting in disbelief over the stupidity coming from the mouths of fundamentalists, which would be a nice change but, it would soon make for a boring world as there would cease to be a debate over the issue.

"The President should tell the American people whether he believes these groups' hate-filled views to be 'mainstream' and worthy of his supposedly inclusive administration," Nedd says.

Nedd’s idiocy here is astounding. Does he know that inclusive means that the President would consider these atheists groups as ‘mainstream’ and worthy. By saying “supposedly inclusive” Nedd is implying that being inclusive means not including atheist groups or does he mean the President’s administration is exclusive? Sorry, I have to stop here. I’m going to strain myself training to figure out Nedd’s moronic statement.
