Gotta Love Hate Mail!

"Bitch, please. Bitch ill suplex you by your frigging d*ck hair."
This isn't hate mail, it's a joke. Watch up on your Epic Rap Battles of History. Funny stuff.

Believe what I believe or F*ck You! And THEY call US ignorant?

Who is Mr. Hilter? You don't know? Allow the great Monty Python to explain!

Would you be violating any privacy laws by releasing their email address with the snippet?

You ought to put the "return" e-mail addresses of these "geniuses" when you post them, so every atheist in the country can send THEM hate mail, and worst of all, SPAM! ;) Any e-mail that is responded to should include, "Thanks for reenforcing my atheism! Its because of ignorant theists like you, that I am one!" ATHEISTICALLY YOURS. . . .

When I read these emails, I don't see enemies, I see victims. They may think of us as enemies but I just can't seem to see them that way. The deserve pity, not ire.

That isn't to say that this sort of thing isn't funny. I certainly find it amusing that these people who claim to have knowledge beyond ours don't even have knowledge of basic grammar... although I suppose if your head is full of the divine (I imagine it takes up a lot of space), then there might not be room for much else. Tragedy and comedy are bound together quite tightly such that most humor is at the expense of another. Their circumstances are tragic... and comedic.

Let's just tell them to pray harder. We all know it works!
;)

These folks immediately reminded me of this line from Blazing Saddles:

"What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."

Rhetorical question: Why do these people think we choose what we believe and don't believe? If I said right now "I belive in (whichever) god", it would be a lie because I have not been presented any evidence to change my viewpoint that no gods exist. I firmly believe that many self-proclaimed religious people actually doubt the existance of any god, but they are just too afraid to admit it. I guess they are afraid of the ostracism that they exhibit towards atheists.

You can't fix stupid, but fortunately you can point at it and snicker.

hooray, keep 'em coming. Just too funny.

To quote "Hate Email #8":

"Let me explain something to you jacka*ses. Atheists make up LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION!!! FACT, not fiction. Thus, the MAJORITY of Americans believe in a higher power. To attempt to remove God from the ENTIRE COUNTRY, is not only asinine, it’s an affront to the other 99% of the country."

This proclamation is reminiscent of a passage spoken by the Prophet Immortal Technique in verse two, song seven "Industrial Revolution," from the timeless masterpiece "Revolutionary Vol. Two" -

"... 'cause if you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck, it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck."

The meaning conveyed in this message is simply that, just because the majority of people in any given population share the same belief/view/ideology, it does not in any way mean that said belief/view/ideology is right, nor does it presuppose the validity of this belief/view/ideology.

I've always held the strong belief that those "ninety-nine per cent" who share a monotheistic ideology, e.g., American Christians, are FUCKING INSANE; plain and simple. Is it really so hard to believe that we, the one per cent, are the only rational, logical, sane, realistic, etc., people in this country?

History has proven that it's well within the limits of reality for a society consisting of a HUGE number of people to all share a common belief/view/ideology that's completely FUCKED, utterly FANATICAL and inherently DELUSIONAL.

Take, for example, the Greeks and their mythology; the Egyptians and their pantheon; Germanic Vikings and their paganism; the witch-hunts of the late-fifteenth to mid-eighteenth centuries; the Nazis and the Holocaust; and, of course, Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

But, I digress ...

I am new to this site and have been reading many of the articles and posts over the last 2 days. I was raised within the Church by my devout grandparents but when I became an adult I decided to leave organized religion due to the hyprocrisy of many of the members. I have met many different people from every race, creed, and religion on my travels around the world and there are good and bad in every one of them - including Athiests. I have seen Athiests spitting on people as they left their Church services after calling them all sorts of degrading names simply because someone chose a Christian religion. Yes, the emails were assinine but some of the responses to them were equally ignorant. Please remember that some of us come to the this website for greater insight into others point of view and how you respond is how people will perceive what you stand for. Please remember that the difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance is caused by a lack of knowledge, stupidity is knowing better and doing it anyway. Teach people what Athiesm is truly about instead of feeding their beliefs that you are all evil.

Thank you for your time.

Newt Gingrich is one of the main people in this country CONvincing masses of these morons that atheist's are trying to have christianity outlawed (I've actually heard him say it in an interview) in America, when in reality it's he himself who's trying to have atheism outlawed in america or at least to take away all rights from atheists by having America declared a "Christian Nation". I've seen this in his last "Contract With America" (which never passed). I would like to see Newt Gingrich and David Barton put in prison for outright fraud and warmongering right here in America!

Interesting that this email was deleted from other blogs. I guess when you have no substantial response, the only thing to do is eliminate the debate. I was referring to the ugliness written toward this group by "so-called" Christians:

These are not righteous people. They and you may call and view them as religious, but they are not of God. I know there is a God. Plain and simply put: “Yes, Jared there is a God.” I know without any doubt, without any hesitation, and not needing any faith. I know.
First let me ask you this, and take a moment to consider your response: 1) What is it about the belief in God that causes you fear? 2) Why are you as zealous about defeating the belief in God as the “religious” zealots are about forcing everyone to believe theirs is the only true faith (Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Muslim, and others)? It seems you treat the non-belief as sacredly as the ‘believers’ believe. Ponder that irony. All one has to do is scroll across the radio buttons above to illustrate my point.
I remain as incognito as possible to not be identified by you or those self-proclaimed religious imbeciles. Both groups’ views, outlooks, and zealousness are comical, but dangerous.
Sir Issac Newton’s First and Second Laws Of Thermodynamics and the Law of Conservation of matter simply put is that matter and energy are neither created nor destroyed. They merely change form. When you die, your life energy is expelled. This energy leaves your body. Some are forever caught between transition. These are most often that uneasy feeling you get somewhere, or a unusually cold spot in an area. Some may want to call it ghosts or poltergeists, it’s merely the unbalance of natural forces.
Why cannot ‘free thinkers’ consider the possibility of different planes of existence? Why cannot a ‘free thinker’ consider the possibility of a creator of planes or dimensions far beyond our ability to conceptualize. Why are ‘free thinkers’ and ‘religious’ persons so narcissistic as to believe we are the only experiment created.
What makes you think we are not simply one of many experiments in a enclosed sphere. Much like bacteria on a Petri Dish?
God is watching and btw, ‘No man knows the date or time of the end.’

Have fun at your rapture party.

Wow, so much for Christian love, tolerance, and brotherhood.

These kinds of posts make me very afraid to "come out." I have a family to consider, and this type of extremeismm makes me doubt that we should ever come out.
