I don't mind the vinegar, per se, just like I don't mind the Pope song I linked to, but you raise a point in that their actions seem solely based on the idea of creating offense, and I'm not overly fond of that.<br /><br />You raise some interesting points.

But since you asked ill answer your question and say my thoughts. <br /><br />Of course there is nothing wrong or illegal about this, offensive to a lot of people? yes. I guess for me the thing that comes to mind is...'you catch more bees with honey than with vinegar' and this reeks of vinegar. As an agnostic this just pushes me away from atheism. I thought the fiction for fiction trade I read about a while back was much more tasteful. This almost seems like they are blatantly trying to offend people, and what does atheism have to gain in doing that? I would argue atheists have a lot to lose from things like this. I mean are atheists not already the most hated group in america? Do they like having that title?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255621782444585975noreply@blogger.com
