An atheist professor said Tuesday that it’s acceptable to criticize Christians but not Muslims, because he does not “fear” retaliation from Christians.

“I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear,” Phil Zuckerman said at a discussion on religious liberty at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. “I’ve got three kids. So I know I can say anything about Christianity or Mormonism, and I’m not living in fear, which is a testament to Christianity and Mormonism, and that’s wonderful. Thank you,” said Zuckerman, who is a self-described atheist and professor of secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif. …

They say things that bring out the truth. The athiests do not fear christians because they are good people.

Muslims won't say things detrimental to the evil that is islam. I do not know if it is common hatred of good or just fear of out-of-control evil that makes them do this. Whatever the reason, it is not good.

>> The athiests do not fear christians because they are good people.

No, we’re not. We are the same sinners that atheists are. We just have a non-negotiable moral code. One day, we will have had enough and then we will do things to atheists and muslims that they certainly deserve.

Then, we will repent and ask for forgiveness.

Deus Vult!

In other words, the atheists aren’t in no hurry to meet their maker. Of course, if they’re right, it’s no big deal. The lights go out and the dance is over. If we’re right, they are in deep sh*t.

This is kinda OT but I wanted to know what others have heard or seen. I was on FB and someone posted a note which said they had gone to WM to buy a composition book. When they got to check out the cashier told them it could not be sold because it had a Bible verse on it. They also said WM was pulling everything with Made in the USA off shelves because it might offend someone. The notebook had one of the Duck Dynasty stars on it. Is this true? What is happening to this country? I have not been in WM for a decade.
