> [@digs](#): > > I have a strong hope that God/Bob/YHWH would start snickering, then chortling, and as Jimmy-Joe Junior and Judy Johnson finished their litany of prissiness they’d be met with a guffaw that shakes the very rafters of the universe. This is probably my main regret for being an atheist. Unlike those religions that believe in an afterlife, I won’t get the opportunity to tell everyone else “I told you so!” ---

Where to put this … where to put this … I guess the homophobic, racist Methodist pastor and fifth grade teacher goes here so as not to bump that “shop class” thread.

And, of course, there’s this fun bit: > Sarah also wrote that teachers in the school system pass Bibles out to children and provide Christian religious instruction during class hours despite the objections of Native American students who practice their own religion and of parents who have asked the school system not to proselytize their children.

The REALLY disturbing thing is that a teacher thinks it’s OK to verbally abuse children, regardless of what his purported religious beliefs may be, or what he was calling them. ---

No doubt she committed the grave sin of starting to think for herself, or questioning the literal truth of every word in the bible. I hope they all go to prison for the rest of their miserable lives – oh, except for the “father” who killed himself in the presence of police. The phrase “three counts of willful and cruelty to a child” was used, I think, four times in the article, so I don’t suppose it is a typo, but it seems an odd phrasing, like a word is missing after “willful” or else the “and” is there by mistake. ---
