Hate Mail Chronicles: Your ‘Athiest’ Beliefs

The latest gem from The News Junkie email account…:

Message: I do not appreciate your using the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in vain. You seem to think that it is acceptable to disrespect other peoples religious beliefs. You are wrong. You are a bigot who hates. You make athiests ashamed to share the same beliefs as you. I do not denigrate your lack of religion. Please do not take God’s name in vain. I pray for you. I also pray I do not ever have to listen to you again. The last time I listened to you you were on a racist rant. What is wrong with WGN? Why do they broadcast a bigot like you?

Karen

Thanks Karen! It might be a bit tough for me to ‘make athiests [sic] ashamed to share the same beliefs as’ me. Mostly because atheists don’t have any beliefs. That’s kind of the point of being an atheist. There is no need for you to pray for me, it would be a waste of your time and mine. Oh, look, you called me a racist! I can tell you and me would have a blast over a few drinks, Karen. You name the time and place and I’ll be sure to avoid that establishment for the rest of both of our lives.

Thanks again for the email!

Update: Uh-oh. A response to my response…

It is generally regarded by athiests that their “beliefs” describe how they think and feel. I guess you failed to understand that. Please understand this is my religion. Do not be such a vulgar, ignorant bigot by insulting anothers religion. I’m sure if you tried you could express yourself without being so ugly. Drinking and drugs are not the answer.

I find it puzzling that me uttering ‘God damn’ on the radio can have such an affect on your life. Also, drinking almost universally is the answer. The word is spelled a-t-h-e-i-s-t.
