Dear God

And just to show that republican idiocy is pretty darn near universal, I give you (and you can keep him) the Mayor of Warren, Michigan, Jim Fouts:

Seems a local Christian group has set up a booth outside of city hall in Warren to minister to local fellow believers.  A local atheist petitioned Mayor Fouts for equal space to provide succor to non-believers and  information to those who may have questions about the existence of God.  Fouts refused the request, and while doing so, compared atheists to the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis, and said they wouldn't contribute to "community values."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that a) both the KKK and the Nazis would have considered themselves Christian-oriented organizations, and b) that atheists as a whole never lynched black Americans or murdered six million Jews.  And as far as community values goes...well, let's just say that I've been to Warren and when you drive through it, it isn't exactly Shangri-La.  Or even very close.  Fouts has plenty more to worry about than some harmless group that merely wants to present its case on equal footing.

Alas, republicans--ever putting the S-T-U-P-I-D in stupidity.

Peace,
