US Postal Service discriminates against Atheists.

RE: US Postal Service discriminates against Atheists.
I saw this a while ago. I'm torn about it. On one hand, it would honestly bug me if a company sealed up its packages with "Christian!" tape. On the other hand, why would this surprise anyone? It's not like the USPS is run by machines or something. It is run by Americans, with very little supervision once the packages leave the depots. Americans do not trust or like atheists. To expect anything different is naive. This company knew this, and did this little experiment as a publicity ploy. Send 178 packages to the United States with "Atheist" all over it. Surprise! 10% of the atheist packages went missing! Even more showed up late!!! Oh my!!!!

Don't put religiously/politically charging messages all over a package that is being handled by someone else. We don't live in a utopia. If there were Jesus stamps all over the packages, there would be some douchebag atheist who trashed a package or two as well.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
