By Olivia Katrandjian Mar 17, 2012 Atheists Wash Florida Road Christians Anointed With Oil
County Road 98 in Polk County, Fla., was scrubbed today by a group of atheists who are protesting the “Polk Under Prayer” campaign, supporters of which poured olive oil on the road last year in an anointment ceremony.
“Mainly we want this to be a safe haven for folks who want to raise their families,” explained Polk Under Prayer organizer, Dr. Richard Geringswald, according to ABC News affiliate WFTS-TV in Tampa. “Asking God’s protection from ne’er do wells and evil doers.”
Ellen Beth Wachs, the president of Humanists of Florida Association and Atheists of Florida, said that she feels unwelcome as an atheist in the county.
“This anointment ritual was to call out the angels to check each car that entered the county, to make sure they were Christian, and if they weren’t Christian, they would either follow Christian beliefs or get put in jail,” Wachs told ABC News.
Wachs said the eight members of the Humanists of Florida Association who brought buckets of water to the roadway today did so in jest. “They understand that a year later, there’s no oil left on the roadway. It’s just a symbolic gesture to show that we can poke a little bit of fun at the Polk Under Prayer gesture. We’re not going to tolerate their bigotry,” Wachs said.

You can read all about it in Romans, ch 10 and 11.
Go worship your phoney,pagan man-god and leave the Torah to the Jews.
No go away and stay away.
As I said, blinded by YHVH to Torah.
A confusion of random characters dancing on the page is all you see.
As I said, a fool who believes that three-in-one still equals one.
Now piss off and worship your false god jsus.
I haven’t made it to Romans yet.
the only reason I’m even reading the cristian bible is to prove that it is NOT the word of G-d.
It is full of one error after another and one contradiction after another.
I can provide proof but you won’t believe it.
