Animation of the New World Trade Center
I recall seeing this video previously, although I'm just coming across it again after visiting JBW's crib. Note how an atheist remembers the fallen: "I won't pray for those lost in the attacks on 9/11 but my heart does go out to their families and loved ones." Actually, I doubt those folks want your prayers, JBW. People like this love America and have a deep, abiding faith in God — the fact that you don't is irrelevant to respecting the memory of the dead. Just bid your well wishes without the digs at religion. Sick bastard.
Glad you liked the video, Don. I also have no doubt that the families and loved ones lost in those attacks don't want the prayers of an avowed atheist and I assume that they also don't expect them. I'm happy to oblige them on both counts.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that you equate people who have a supposed "deep, abiding faith in God" with people who love America, thereby implying that people who don't love your god are not good Americans. And because I don't love your god I can't respect the memory of the dead. I wonder what our founding fathers would have said about your stance on this issue...
I now know who to turn to when I want the very definition of a "sick bastard", chief. Salut.
America was founded by people who looked for religious tolerance AND a chance to get away from the religious nuts in Europe. Too bad the nuts have taken over America now.
ReplyDeleteI AM AN ATHEIST AND I LOVE AMERICA.
