Just in time for the holidays, a good helping of Haterade from correspondents, with their comments printed as received.
Christian flag in Tennessee: Your day in hell is coming in the future so you need to stop telling us to submit to you atheist demands. You are a minority and th majority will rise up and crush your agenda. — Paul Gaunt
Wadena, Minnesota: Why do you people feel that it is your business To tell Us as a people what we can put in our Parks? I don’t tell you how to live don’t tell us. That is just wrong and don’t tell me how illegal it is. I’m not going to tell you that you have to work on Christmas because you don’t believe. And if you do work no double or triple time for you. No presents — Karen Raskie, Hewitt, Minnesota
Disgrace: Yall are a disgrace to humanity. Everyone one of you should be placed on the same level as isis. Yall is what’s wrong with this country and to believe you even exist is sickinging. We need God more then ever now and you people try to stop it. You need to mind your own business if it defends you stay away from it. You bunch of pathetic cowards. — Travis Bach, New York
Stay out of schools!: I hope to see a continued kickback of stupid initiatives including school prayer . We are a nation under God.. Get it? Back off creeps… — Kevin Barnes
Gotto Xmas ban: I totally disagree w/your unfortonatly successful efforts to intimidate the limp dicked school council to deny students to participate in xmas choirs at the grotto. SHAME ON YOU!!! What you did is no different than any other BULLY who FORCES others to their idoloogy through coercion and intimidation. — Dianne Whitney, Oregon
Why are you afraid of Christians??: Do you support ISIS? Why are Christians more dangerous than radical Muslims? Why is it OK to have Muslim prayers in schools and not Christian prayers? — Jeanne Perdue, Texarkana, Texas
Stop the Nonsense: Your group just absolutely disgusts me, with your perverted, convoluted misinterpretation of the Constitution and what is and isn’t legal. You go around throwing the threats of protracted legal action at small towns, which many can’t afford, and you get your way. Your bully tacticts violate the 1st amendment that you claim to uphold. The separation of church and state has long been misrepresented by the atheistic, liberal agenda to further their Godless causes, and it is pitiful and disgusting. — Jeff Fassett
God sent his son for the world: JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. YOU’RE A FOOL TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO GOD. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE AND REPENT OF YOUR UNBELIEF. — Jason Hutton
Antagonism: What a divisive and deceitful organization you have. Yes, I’m a Christ-follower. I pray you will someday have your eyes opened before it’s too late. The bottom line is if I’m wrong, I’ve lost nothing and I’ve had a blast. But if YOU’RE wrong, you’ve lost everything. — Nave Nitram, Indiana
Christianity: If I were violent, which I am not (but you are) I would do violence to you, but alas, I believe in a loving God. HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. Again, what you are doing is no surprise to us. It has already been revealed. You are doing exactly what the enemy of God wants. How sad. God doesn’t want you to be throw in into the Lake of Fire…think of a volcano that has been activated and it rolls all over you…yet, your soul will live on throughout eternity in unbelievable excruciating pain with no way out. How sad. — Carrie Johnston, Elkhart, Indiana
Thank you, Pastor: My friend…thank you for showing us the full face of satan’s influence in the minds of depraved and self-centered (his favorite personalities) men and women. You truly are sick. From your extensive pastoral training you would recognize a more specific diagnosis as the correct refinement, “Sin Sick.” — Donald Milton, Chipley, Florida
hypocrisy: bunch of sick bastards! in spite of your illness, you hypocrites pray to god when nothing else helps to ease a pain of a mental or physical nature. — Pete Smolan, California
Violation: U R A VIOLATION OF CHURCH & STATE…STAY IN WISCONSIN OR WHEREVER U R 7 OUT OUT OUT OF OREGON…U FAGS! — Paul Munsell
A suggestion: how obnoxious are you disgusting bullies–go top yourselves and do the country a favor How’s that for “freethought” — Jan Elder
1st Amendment: Last time I checked the 1st amendment says nothing about freedom FROM religion, it says that we have FREDOM OF RELGION. Also last time I checked Anerica was founded on CHRISTIAN values and beliefs. As well as the recent fuss in Collins, Ms if that person with the complaint did not won’t to deal with religion they should not live in the Bible Belt of America. — JM Duke, Collins, Mississippi
How offensive your organization is!: What you are doing is a shame, and a crime against tolerance and freedom. How do you hope other people to respect you, when you are not even respecting them? Constitution or no constitution. — Pierre Jacques
Shame!: You are a sad group of people, especially for what you did in Wadena, MN! Shame on you, and I hope that you rot in hell in eternal damnation! — Carlie Morin, St. Cloud, Minnesota
Are you folks for real?: You fight so hard to be atheism so there must be a God that you are trying so hard to strike him out of peoples mind! I figure you believe in the big bang theory and so that makes your mind so small it really can’t think clearly. Have any of you actually read the Bible? When you folks are in trouble what are the first thing that comes out of your mouth “Oh God please help me!” — Sam Germann
Get a LIFE!: I AM SUBMITTING A REQUEST THAT TO BE A NON PROFIT TO HELP THOSE IN NEED NOT TO GAIN MONEY TO SUE A BUSINESS OR GOVERNMENT ENTITY! YOU ARE COSTING TAXPAYERS MONEY JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT EXCEPT FREEDOM OF FAITH!
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR GROUP AND HOW IT IS WRONG TO COLLET DONATIONS FOR LAW SUITES!! — Angel Martin, Savage, Minnesota
Isms: I have EVERY right to WANT a prayer said before a meeting where important decisions are made. Generals Washington, Lee,Sheridan, Meade, Patton and others – all asked for “divine” guidance before making a major decision. I could name many more, as well, but I think you get the point. If you don’t like “prayer” in America, why not move to a country that agrees with your perspective ? You would be welcomed with open arms, I’m sure and…..we would be happy to see you go ! It is sad that people like you are trying to tear down the very things that helped BUILD America. If you don’t like prayer, it is your choice to NOT listen, but if anything is NEVER said, is there any “choice” at all ? I think you are controlled by Satan !! — Jim Bandfield, Shalimar, Florida
You are a bunch of fuck sticks: You people are full of shit, and only looking for some bullshit to hang your hat on. Get a life. — Frank Butiste, South Bend, Indiana
POS: You God damn crooked goat fucking pieces of shit! This country was found on Christianity and if you and your cronies don’t like get the hell out. — Jake Winkler
