When atheists act surprised that the population at large isn’t a fan of their extremism, it surprises me. I’ll be honest, I know most atheists are as passionate about that as I am about being a Catholic; hard working middle class people who don’t give two hoots what other people think or do.
There are, however, militant atheist douchebags, and if you’d like to see what they look like, look no further:
An atheist organization is blasting the U.S. Postal Service for its plan to honor Mother Teresa with a commemorative stamp, saying it violates postal regulations against honoring “individuals whose principal achievements are associated with religious undertakings.”
The Freedom from Religion Foundation is urging its supporters to boycott the stamp — and also to engage in a letter-writing campaign to spread the word about what it calls the “darker side” of Mother Teresa.
The stamp — set to be released on Aug. 26, which would have been Mother Teresa’s 100th birthday — will recognize the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize winner for her humanitarian work, the Postal Service announced last month.
“Noted for her compassion toward the poor and suffering, Mother Teresa, a diminutive Roman Catholic nun and honorary U.S. citizen, served the sick and destitute of India and the world for nearly 50 years,” the Postal Service said in a press release. “Her humility and compassion, as well as her respect for the innate worth and dignity of humankind, inspired people of all ages and backgrounds to work on behalf of the world’s poorest populations.”
But Freedom from Religion Foundation spokeswoman Annie Laurie Gaylor says issuing the stamp runs against Postal Service regulations.
“Mother Teresa is principally known as a religious figure who ran a religious institution. You can’t really separate her being a nun and being a Roman Catholic from everything she did,” Gaylor told FoxNews.com.
Mother Theresa did more for the world by devoting her life to helping the extreme poor in India than these idiot atheists do by fighting Christmas trees on City Hall lawns and stamps of people who give their lives to help others.
Atheists, it’s time to look inward and eat your own. Stand up to these idiots and tell them that you’re smart enough to understand that someone like Mother Theresa deserves recognition for her work regardless of the fact that she did it in a habit.
