The US is pretty much the most Christian country in the world today has the most believers in a Christian God and has its jails packed full of Christian criminals, rapists, murderers. The US rate of incarceration is about 8 times higher than the rest of the OECD and is much higher than the godless dictatorship of China. Atheists make up a very small part of the prison population and yet if we believed you the prisons should be brim full of them. This is probably due to the fact that the smarter you are the more likely you are to be an atheist ( I mean, how many smart people believe unquestioningly the contradictory writings of anyone, let alone those who lived 2000+ years ago before any kind of science) guys and less likely you are to be in prison. I am glad you are a Republican, believing in fairy tales will ensure your party's eventual demise in the face of reality. Wow, where to start.

This saddens me, a long-time atheist and someone who sees faith as a constructive thing for many people and something that tends toward negativity only when wrapped up in the organisations of men. I feel your access to atheists has been limited so I would love to share my views on your 10 points. 1) People have had what you refer to as a "moral compass" since long before your religion existed. We are pack animals incapable of surviving alone and therefore tend toward systems of rules for living together. 2) a) Atheists are very conscious of harming others or allowing our lives to degrade as we have no "heaven" to go to. This is all the life we have and we intend to fill it with joy and happiness. You are right about us liking things like sex- and many of us also like visual representations of sex and beautiful human bodies but we do not think of this a pornographic. Wars and pictorial representations glorifying them are pornographic. Societal obsession with "evils of sex" are pornographic. 2 b) Organised religion has been the cause of more death than anything else designed by man in human history. This is not to debunk those who want faith in a higher power (see opening paragraph) 3) You are right, we do not worship Satan. Nor anyone else. 4) You are right, there are atheists. I am one. 5) Almost everyone thinks they are clever. I am sure there are many Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus that are more intelligent than me. None of them would bother carrying hatred in their hearts, I assure you. And yes, we are fans of ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?scientific methodology?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?, ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?reasoned argument?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?, ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?historical evidence?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?, ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?documentary proof?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? and ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?logic?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?. Without doubt. 6) We don't hate anyone, although we are mystified by the inherent contradictions of many Christians, Muslims et al. in where they preach love and understanding and then spew bile and hatred yet never see this as wrong. We can't be jealous of you going to heaven because we do not believe- by definition (if we did believe we would be Christians). I acknowledge that by your standards, whatever they may be, that I may be depraved (not big on marriage, have sex when I want, support abortion etc.). Terrence and Philip are funny. But not to all Atheists. Some consider it infantile (it is) and stupid (it is) and don't get the sense of humour (I do). 7) I have, indeed, tried many drugs. Some on prescription and some not. I would not say those that I know who have also tried were universally atheists nor those I know who are uninterested. Promise. Many of us do not see drugs as evil. My Muslim friends do, though. 8) This comment really made me think your site had to be a parody. It really did. 9) I grew up in a Christian country with bible study for an hour every day. When I moved to the UK I went to a Catholic school. Many atheists did grow up in heavily religious environments and rejected the idea of a god. 10) Rainbows are all the more beautiful for understanding the processes by which they are made. Anyone who has studied science and failed to marvel at the universe has not understood what is in front of them. Good luck with your campaign, Shelly. My hope is that whatever has really made you angry at the world or atheists or whatever sorts itself out. Best of luck. midnightjester depraved (apparently) athiest, Dear Shelley,

For a Christian your heart seems disturbingly full of hate and bile. This saddens me, a long-time atheist and someone who sees faith as a constructive thing for many people and something that tends toward negativity only when wrapped up in the organisations of men.
