Really? I'm the one making stupid statements? You're the one that keeps saying that atheists can't grieve in public and that we can't identify as atheists, yet you can't even give one example of this ever happening. Not only that, you are using a tragedy as an opportunity to shout from from a soap about how persecuted you feel, which is deplorable. Whether you do it here or on the six o'clock news is irrelevant. This is absolutely not a religious issue until people like you decide to make it one, and I'm disgusted that you would do so.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
