Letter to a Stupid Atheist

By Mary Grabar

Sunday, February 18, 2007

Mary Grabar graduated from the University of Georgia with a Ph.D. in
English and currently teaches at a university in Atlanta.

Dear Sam Harris:

I hope you don't mind that I've adapted the title of your bestselling
pamphlet bound between two hard covers and foisted on to an ignorant
public as a book. Of course, I am referring to your pretentious Letter
to a Christian Nation.

In this little polemic you take the liberty of directly addressing
those like me who believe in the divinity of Christ and in the truth
of Bible. Your primary charge against me is holding thoughts and
beliefs that do not square with yours. You do show some mercy and
leniency toward those you deem moderate and liberal-those vaguely
Unitarian, who believe Christ was a cool dude, with some nice ideas,
who would have gone to peace marches--but not much more. I take your
upbraiding personally, as I think you intend.

On Religion

When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to
stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated
claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the
greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually
convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches
everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a
special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of
these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning
and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn
and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money!
He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just
can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no
taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good
bullshit story. Holy Shit!

Hey, SOT, today is ***AUGUST*** 9, 2007. We were all aware of Mary
Grabar's silly screed when it came out in February.

Try to keep up, will you?
