Nobody is trying to make you pray.

Why did you claim Geo. Washington's call for a day of thanksgiving to God was unconstitutional?

Shep, > So pray all you want but don't require the rest of us to do it to your god....

When was the last time you were REQUIRED to pray for any reason whatsoever?

Atheist Seeks Asylum in Sweden

Hey, you can always flee Christian oppression to Sweden.

Posted by Van Helsing at December 1, 2010 7:40 AM

Not all asylum seekers are trying to escape war or political oppression. Italian writer Ennio Montesi wants Sweden to take him in because he can't stand all the crucifixes in his own country.

Montesi, an atheist who has had himself "debaptized," earlier got his name in the news by crusading against the cross on display in a hospital ward. He whines to Swedish Premier Fredrik Reinfeldt that living in Italy forces upon him "a religious and political symbol of death."

It is unclear whether Montesi suffers from the classic symptoms of crucifix intolerance: uncontrollable fits, facial blistering, levitating, pea soup vomiting, twisting the head around 360°, et cetera.

Maybe Montesi should seek asylum in the USA. If he's turned down, he can just walk across the border from Mexico. No doubt a fulfilling career would await him with the ACLU.

Or he could show a little patience and stay put in Italy until the crucifixes are replaced by minarets.

Reading the above makes me wonder. When you see something like a cross has your head ever twisted around, have you levitated, etc?
