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><p><em>Edited to fix the formatting</em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.movetoiceland.com/archives/650/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> <creativeCommons:license>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/</creativeCommons:license> </item> </channel> </rss>
