Got this story off another FB friend's page.

Quote:Lou Landrum, the Soup Kitchen’s executive director, told the same paper that allowing the atheists to work at the facility would be a “disservice to this community.”

“We stand on the principles of God,” she said. “Do [atheists] think that our guests are so ignorant that they don’t know what an atheist is? Why are they targeting us? They don’t give any money. I wouldn’t want their money.”

Landrum said that “they can set up across the street from the Soup Kitchen. They can have the devil there with them, but they better not come across the street.”

That's just fucked up. What's more important, their personal beliefs or actually helping people? (rhetorical)

Well, which is it? We don't give money or they don't want our money? I don't give money to religious charity, I'm not going to aid them in spreading their religion and mentally oppressing people who need help. That's messed up.

Edit: sorry I'm confused, doesn't even say it's a religious charity, just soup kitchen. Wtf? Isn't that against the soup kitchen's policy to turn away volunteers on grounds of religion/lack thereof?

They do "stand on the principles of God", which means apparently that they're poor hard-done-by persecuted martyrs superior to anyone else. So no change there, then.

Yeah, Stim. Silly question when dealing with these fuckwads.

I see their point, afterall it's hard to spread the message that atheists are heartless, immoral baby eaters if these bloody atheists come along and try to do nice things.

Not very sporting at all.

Oh look at that, more Christians being bigoted assholes. Never would have guessed.

Does that kitchen screen the hungry for beliefs as well?

And our believing friends who post here have no clue why we blaspheme religion, well guys, this is one example.

What the fuck does she mean, the atheists were "targeting" her soup kitchen? Is she really of the mindset that attempting to perform the charitable act at the heart of her organization is some kind of assault when it's attempted by someone outside her religion?
