			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this response to the whole Hagan/Dole &#8220;atheist&#8221; flap over at <a href="http://digitalcuttlefish.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-proudly-am-atheist.html">The Digital Cuttlefish</a>, and it really summarizes my thoughts on the subject well. So I thought I&#8217;d share.</p>
<blockquote><p>I proudly am an atheist;<br />
I do not share your views.<br />
Imagine how insulting,<br />
When I watch the evening news<br />
And I see you point at folks like me<br />
Indignantly, with rage,<br />
As if we were the lepers<br />
Of a less enlightened age!<br />
No need to watch your language<br />
Or to treat us with respect—<br />
Because demonizing us is still<br />
Politically correct.<br />
You’d never talk like this regarding<br />
Blacks, or Gays, or Jews,<br />
But with atheists, just look at all<br />
The language that you use!<br />
“Obama is a terrorist”—of course<br />
The claim’s obscene;<br />
But “Hagan is an atheist”?<br />
The worst you’ve ever seen?!?<br />
Comparing her to me is now<br />
The lowest of the low?<br />
It’s good I don’t believe in Hell—<br />
I’d tell you where to go.</p>
<p>I proudly am an atheist<br />
I proudly am a Jew<br />
I proudly am a Christian,<br />
And I’m proudly Muslim, too.<br />
I’m proud to be both Gay and Straight<br />
I’m proudly Black and White<br />
I’m proudly Man and Woman<br />
And I’ll proudly join the fight.<br />
I proudly am Humanity,<br />
Whatever that is worth;<br />
There is no group below me,<br />
Or above me, on this Earth. </p></blockquote>
