I made the mistake of making a joke to my gran about them being kiddy fiddlers... She and her catholic traditions were not amused.

I have to add that frightens me and pisses me off.
While this idea is disgusting & immature & don't see where the ACLU would come in to this. This isn't the government setting up a blacklist, it's some schmuck with an Internet connection.

According to Stahl, the nation should set up an “Atheist Registry” in order to provide an updated list of anyone who is a “self-proclaimed atheist,” just as you would do for people convicted of sex crimes or associating with terrorist groups.

Just wow.
Now, my memory can be sketchy at times....but I could of swore of hearing what pastors/priests have been doing to children behind church doors. Shouldn't that register thing go the other way?
So, this bastard is calling all atheists child molesters? Well I'd love to see him back that claim up.
This is just pure hate towards those who lack an imaginary friend pure and simple.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

What a cretin. He's just annoyed that there's a blacklist for pastors rightfully convicted of sex crimes and child abuse offences, as opposed to accounting for all the good law-abiding people who simply disagree with him, who don't share his beliefs.

They don't want you talking to their kids because you don't believe there's an invisible man living in the sky. But then they'll happily allow the priest to take their kids in a back room for a little "Bible study"...

I'm sure the case could be made that it would be a violation of the freedom of religion cause. And as far as I know the ACLU doesn't exclusively take cases involving the government, but I could be wrong.

Our lack of faith exposes the folly of theirs. Some people can't handle the idea of atheism, and so they attach it to whatever else they feel to be the worst possible state of being. It's good to know that this pastor at least finds sex crimes repugnant.

I don't think so. The Constitution tells the government what it's allowed to do, not what you, as a private citizen can't do.
If I wanted to make a moron registry & started putting people who believed in an invisible sky-daddy in it, that's my business & not the government's or the ACLU's.
Actually, we can start today if someone wants to register moronregistry.org.
