religion and laundry
November 1, 2014 at 11:17 pm
Every time I use the laundromat the religious types leave leaflets for the customers to use. So I thought I would try a social experiment. I printed up an atheist flyer and left a few copies in my local laundromat with an email address for feedback. The results were, to say the least, shocking. I left about 6 flyers but received over 50 emails, 46 of which were negative. Ranging from mild annoyance to actual death threats!
It seems atheism in the USA is still a very misunderstood and hated word.

Post the flier, too!
What a fun idea.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Yes, I would be interested in reading at least a few of the emails if you have time to share with us. It may better prepare me for the eventuality of being busted out at work. Since religion should be an unacceptable topic of conversation in my state run facility, yet I receive religious pamphlets, scripture of the day, and welcome to our church type flyers in my personal mail box...one day I may just have to speak out for myself. I feel your isolation. I share it to a small degree. I come here to read for this reason. Welcome!

Nah, just the sea of galilee and his washboard abs.

Sounds like a raging success to me. Go viral and you could make a fortune!
