Madalyn Murray O'Hair strikes from beyond the grave!
• Cheap Laughs
Gullibility, thy name is American Christianity. Variations of this hoax have been scaring the born again for thirty years.
According to the missive, the famous atheist (apparently not content to remain quietly in her grave) and her organization (American Atheists, Inc. which also appears to have experienced a sort of resurrection) are out to stop the popular television series, Touched By An Angel, because it uses the word, "God."
Furthermore, they have enough signatures on their petition #2493, now in the hands of the FCC, to have all Christian programs prohibited from the airwaves.
And Christians everywhere are called to action to flood the offices of FCC and CBS TV in protest. "We are praying for one million signatures," the email states, "please don't take this lightly. We ignored this lady (O'Hair) once and lost prayer in our schools and in offices across the nation. Please stand up for your religious freedom and let your voice be heard." The email calls for Christian unity, which will defeat the enemy.
