"Jesus will fix you, you filthy scum."

• Skeptics & Atheists

Scott McLemee reviews a new biography of Madalyn Murray O’Hair.

The grand lady of American atheism inspired (and indeed cultivated) a cult of personality, as Bryan F. LeBeau shows in his biography. Her rough-hewn charisma brought in a steady flow of revenue to fund the organizations she created, which were run by members of her immediate family. And like any sectarian group, the O'Hair family and its followers could be very stringent on doctrine.

i think religion is stupid. has anyone read The Salmon of Doubt, by Douglas Adams?? brcause it contains an excellent article on why he is an athiest... he makes some excellent points, mostly about the fact that religion is never put up to critisism with real standards of physics, logic, science, or anything factual. everyone grab the nearest copy of The Salmon of Doubt and find the article, i cant reach my nearest copy right now so i cant give you a page reference, but i think that if you all make the effort to find it youll realise what a good article it is, ok? ok. good

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about "Jesus will fix you, you filthy scum.". Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
