I am a loyal Positive Atheism reader. Thank you for the E-mails. I just want to get your opinion, or response to the small town in Georgia that is posting, "The Lords Prayer," "The ten Commandments," and the "Blank Plaque for Atheists, because we do not believe in God.
Thanks, Keep up the good Work,

Blank Plaque for Atheists, because we do not believe in God.
Are they really doing this? Is this supposed to be their idea of fairness or dignity or some similar thing?
Sounds more like a new spin on the same old Christian greed that keeps rearing its ugly head in American politics: they cannot be satisfied with having the public erect two monuments to their own private religious views, but they also gotta degrade our views at our expense as well!
Maybe they're not laughing at us, but are simply laughing with us. Remember that one from when we were kids? Perhaps we should learn to laugh along with them. Ready? Remember, now, it's three quick ones, followed by two slightly longer ones.
Ready? Begin:
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hah! Hah!
Very good!
Now we don't have to think of this as a derogatory slur of some kind!
