Another sample of the not-so-friendly mail we get each month, with comments printed as received.
Wilmore and the Cross: Are you afraid that the cross will bring the Lord down to confront you personally? Are you afraid it has some magic powders? Everyone has the right to believe what they want in this life. If you don’t like the cross on the water tower then don’t look at it. If you don’t like the women that wear scarves on their head then don’t look at them. Having Jesus is kinda like having insurance, there will be a time in your life you will be glad you have it. — Jane Stopher, Kentucky
Bill of Rights: Why is your organization causing the courts to make a unconstitutional rule. Don’t understand this. Example, why can’t kids volunteer have a Christmas play at school with a nativity scene at the end of the annual Concord High School Holiday Spectacula? — Kyle Schori, Indiana
Clemson Football: why don’t you step out of college sports and mind your business. Leave the actions of Dabo Swinney to the university and the Clemson Family. When either of the two feel he is out of line, it will be handled properly. In other words we DON’T need your help. When we do, we will ask for it. — Andrew Williams
HELL BOUND: I am a God fearing concerned citizen and I would just like to know why you would not want people to know about our Lord and Savior. As must crime and terrible things going on in this world today Jesus is our only hope. — Shannon Harrington, Alabama
Sick lives: How worthless and sick your lives must be. I will pray for you. — Joe Reynolds
Stupid banning of the bible: YOU ARE SICK MINDED FOOLS, JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE LEFT BEHIND, YOU ARE ALL OF YOUR STAFF, WHY IN THE WORLD OR NOT IN THE WORLD PROBABLY HELL WOULD WE NEED A STUPID ORGANIZATION CALLED FREEDOM FROM RELIGION, NO RELIGION NEVER SAVED ANYONE ONLY JESUS CHRIST BUT, WHEN YOU BAN RELIGION AND THE BIBLE YOU ARE TAKING AWAY ALL OF OUR RELIGIOUS RIGHTS TO DO WHAT AMERICA NEEDS RIGHT NOW WHICH IS JESUS I REBUKE YOUR PRACTICES IN JESUS NAME AND YOU ARE GOING DOWN JESUS IS IN CONTROL OF AMERICA AMEN — Carol Smith, Wyoming
?: I juss want to put my pearsonal belief in on your thoughts….for your group to be free I pearsonally think when you try to force a coach or any organization not to have their own religion your not free from religion at all in my opinion being an athiest has became ots own religion that is pushing its own religion and beliefs on those who have faith and know that there is a God who has to come to save everyone — Jennifer Mitchell
This goes to your president and all your powerful attorneys: I emailed all president’s of every single University and college nationwide, and I emailed every school district nationwide, every city government, to ignore all your threats of lawsuits and ignore the lawsuit due to the fact of the 1st amendment rights, and you’re trying to force your whacked up agenda on the American people. You just want media attention and money! BTW I emailed every single station nationwide including the major ones like MSNBC, FOXNEWS, and CNN to not give you air time. They all agree with me on this. Your agenda sucks and you won’t win this time! We will keep God in America and you can’t do a thing about it. Welcome to the NEW AMERICA!!! You lost! — Casey Forsyth
Freedom of Religion: You say GOD and any reference to Him offends you. Well, your stand against Him and His teachings greatly offends me. I have the choice of believing in the Lord my God and savior and in prayers.esprecially in the military. — William Crawford, California
You will not win: I have no problem if you want to be an athiest and want to educate people on their rights. But I know your true purpose. You want to destroy anything related to Jesus or God and you can’t stand the idea that religious people exist. I promise you, you will never get rid of God and those of us who are Christians. Don’t forget that we have the right to believe, and it amazes me to this day how people like you could never believe in anything bigger than yourselves. You will not remove Jesus from our lives. You will never succeed in this rediculous mission to turn this country’s founding principles from morality and religion to secular athieism where everyone is selfish and nihilistic. — Mark Bobbi
I will pray for you: The rapid increase in violence in our society is, in no small part, due to your efforts to deny our Lord. One day you will see. — Stephen Melsom
Question: What gives you the belief that you have the right to force your ideas on individuals or athletes? You are part of the problem with the USA and world today. I feel sorry for you — Steve Sanders, South Carolina
Clemson: Y’all are nothing but a bunch of worthless pieces of shit. Y’all want freedom from religion until it comes to what y’all want to put on people. You’re fucking ignorant. Clemson and Dabo don’t push religion on anyone. All you want is money. You stupid son of a bitches. You’re money hungry is all it is. I will be filing a lawsuit against you. See you in court. — Justin Raines
Dabo Sweeney: People have the right to tune out things they do not want to listen to. If the Clemson Team is 98% Christian, and I understand it is, then the 2% has no right in a Democracy to stop hearing what Dabo says. Back off and leave the Clemson family alone. You are based in Madison, Wisconsin and not the Deep South. Religion is a powerful entity in this part of the world. Pushing your agenda down the throats of the vast majority is just plain wrong. You are no better than Joe McCarthy was in his witch hunt. — Mike and Dianne Evans, Alabama
no bibles in hotels: Only fools and idiots would prevent Bibles in rooms in hotels. It is because of the Bible that you can run a hotel. Jesus Christ lives in the Bible. You have freedom because of Him. WAKE UP before it is too late. — Colleen Ulrich, Australia
College and religion: Leave Clemson alone. What is the matter with you? These are not government institutions as you think. We as,parents pay huge sums to send our kids there, so if we want prayer at football games , etc we get it. As long as your devil worshiping kids are not forced to pray, then shut the hell up. — Dr. Andrew Johnson
