I find Bill Donahue absolutely reprehensible. As far as I am concerned, he is in the same catagory I also put Dobson, Kennedy and Robertson – who are truly repulsive people.

I certainly find Mellisa and Amanda far more interesting and enjoyable. While I find both can be offensive on occasion (thus I don’t read them, except when they are linked by someone else), they don’t make me cringe in anger and embarresment (that they claim the same faith as I).

That said, I don’t think they should have been picked for a political campaign. There are plenty of very talented, lefty, atheist bloggers, who do not make so many nasty generalizations about theists. I imagine it would have been a flap, regardless of what atheist was chosen, but I don’t think they were appropriate choices. Personaly, I think the amount of profanity they use is as indicative as their religion bashing. This from someone who can swear like a sailor (though I am getting a lot better), but then, I am not representing a presidential hopeful.

To be clear, I am not averse to people criticizing faith, even my own. Personaly, I welcome it, as such criticism has been very useful to me, in the developement of my personal faith. I am not even adverse to people criticizing religious belief in general. I think my favorite is the FSM – brilliant and thought provoking – while being quite inoffensive (though, of course some find even that offensive – someone is always offended).

Please, those SNAP popup widgets are so annoying and useless, to boot.

Please reconsider, or maybe informally poll your readers.
