Attack Atheists Are Allowed To Distibute Weaponized Literature in Schools

‘Christianity is Abhorrent’: More Atheistic Materials to be Distributed in Public Schools

"ORLANDO – A federal judge has given a secular organization the green light to distribute more atheistic and anti-Christian materials to Florida public school students, in spite of the materials’ graphic content and offensive language.

As previously reported, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) learned last year that a Christian ministry had made Bibles available to Orlando high school students on “Religious Freedom Day.” To counter the Bible distribution, FFRF sought permission from the school district to give students a variety of atheistic and anti-Christian materials.

According to reports, the Orange County School Board permitted FFRF to distribute several books and pamphlets, including a booklet entitled “What’s Wrong With The Ten Commandments?” and a brochure entitled “What Is An Atheist?” However, the board prohibited FFRF from giving students several other publications, citing the materials’ “disruptive” and inappropriate content.

FFRF promptly sued the school board for not allowing the distribution of the materials. Eventually, the school board complied with the organization’s demands, giving FFRF permission to distribute the previously-prohibited materials. Then, earlier this month, a district judge officially dismissed the FFRF lawsuit, thus giving the green light to the in-school distribution of atheistic materials."
Christianity Is Abhorrent
"The materials approved by the Orange County School Board include a variety of graphic and anti-Christian content, including references to oral and anal sex, a description of God as the “most prolific abortionist of all,” and a number of explicit sexual references and offensive expletives.

Furthermore, the materials repeatedly attack Christian beliefs and doctrines, including the life of Jesus Christ.

“On the whole, Jesus said little that was worthwhile,” alleges the FFRF booklet “Why Jesus?”

“He introduced nothing new to ethics (except hell),” the booklet states. “He instituted no social programs. Being ‘omniscient,’ he could have shared some useful science or medicine, but he appeared ignorant of such things.”

Similarly, the “Dear Believer” booklet attacks the Bible’s message and content in a demeaning first person tone.

“Christianity, besides being false, is also abhorrent,” it alleges. “It amazes me that you claim to love the god of the bible, a hateful, arrogant, sexist, cruel being who can’t tolerate criticism. I would not want to live in the same neighborhood with such a creature! The biblical god is a macho male warrior.”

“Do you see why I do not respect the biblical message?” the booklet adds. “It is an insulting bag of nonsense. You have every right to torment yourself with such insanity—but leave me out of it. I have better things to do with my life.”

Many people have expressed concern at FFRF’s literature, arguing that the graphic, insulting material is inappropriate in a public school setting."

Stan this quote from the Atheist booklet made me laugh: "You have every right to torment yourself with such insanity—but leave me out of it. I have better things to do with my life."

Does Atheists have better things to do in their lives besides peddling pornography and vulgarity to public school children? So many Atheists are mentally unstable people. I have known so many of them...such joyless people.

". . .the god of the bible, a hateful, arrogant, sexist, cruel being who can’t tolerate criticism."

Projection of the "god" in the mirror?!?

As I've mentioned in other comments, my personal experience with the Gaylors dovetails perfectly with the content and tone of these materials: anger, rhetoric, personal prejudice, venting, but nothing substantive whatsoever.

So I guess I'm supposed to become an atheist just because Annie Gaylor personally finds the God of the Bible morally repugnant. Though after all these years it still hasn't occurred to her to wonder WHY she should.

My own pet theory remains that Gaylor was dropped on her head by a priest as an infant and still blames the Church for the mess she's made of her life.
