What's All the Fuss?
sent in by Michael J Fowler
When I was eight, my mother admitted that there was no Santa Claus. So followed the rest of the fairy tales.
As I grew older, I noticed that the followers of the "Prince of Peace" seemed to do a lot of killing.
I have quietly been an atheist for over forty years.
I have been a critical care nurse and a firefighter/paramedic because of my belief that humanity must help itself. In my careers I have had to "feign christianity" to keep my jobs secure. I have read more of the bible than most xtians that I know.
After I was seriously injured, we moved to AZ. Ever since the neighbors found out about our (non) beliefs we have been harassed; tires punctured, property vandalized, my son was assaulted at school,etc.
We are considering emigration to a country that allows freedom of thought as I am too old, crippled and in pain to fight anymore.
