Ok, seriously: Snopes has already had it's say on this. It's infuriating, but it's not true. Save your anger for actual causes.

I've seen this several times before and I believe somebody showed that it was fake. The last line where she says, "I don't care if they have never committed a crime" really shows that this is fake. I don't think anybody would be stupid enough to utter that last sentence.

You guys should all come up to Canada, we would love to have you.

This has been posted here quite a few times and has been proven to be fake/satire.

My favorite part is,

You can believe in God any way you want (Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, etc.)

oxguy3 · 4 months

You guys, calm down. Alice Shannon was just trolling and doesn't really think like that at all (although a lot of fundies did write to the newspaper in support). Here's the proof.

This is truly an impressive piece of bigotry right here. What went horribly wrong in this person's life?

The editorial was intended as a joke.

I'm Christian but I seriously hate when people say shit like this. People have the right to believe in what they want.

Also, why do I have a feeling that this person was whittling something on their porch with dip in their mouth when they typed this?

detorn · 4 months

took me two seconds to google that name to find out this was 5 years old and fake. It took longer to post a snopes link to every comment who were just ready to accept this non-sense as reality. Some comments even had a violent tone.** think before you speak.**

Fuck you. Fuck everything about this. If I had been there I'm not sure if I would tear his pathetic argument apart or just fuck him with the business end of a rake.

Oddly enough,I was thinking about this last night,while perusing the wares of Reddit while in a stupor from rum + Ibuprofen(toothache). Why not boot out all the smart, civilized people from the US..well, anywhere really. All the atheists can go to their own country. Like a trade of sorts. Take all the atheists in the world and give them their own country..whichever one that is,say,Canada. Canada can trade you back all their hyper-theists-everybody wins. Millions of free thinkers all in one place.A haven for all people of reason. In Atheanada, we'd have the majority of scientists so we'd win on education,clean energy, food production,air/water. Essentially,Eden.(a cold Eden,but Eden still.) All non-theists would be welcome.And in 100-150 yrs,when the world is in chaos and riddled by war our science teams would just build engines under the country and then fly us off this planet into space and let this cesspool kill itself off.All the people on Earth who are left will wave goodbye to us from their New Dark Age world as we sail away from a doomed society. I need to sleep. I think too much when in pain.

Atheists should move out of the USA. And come join us here in Canada.

It's time to stomp out reposts on Reddit. The majority of you would like to see these posts go away. So do it yourself. Downvote to oblivion.

Doesn't the Constitution say something like "... Any or no religion..."?

El_solid_snake · 4 months

Yeah I think that may be the stupidest thing I've ever read (and I've read the king james bible). That made me throw up in my mouth a little.

no_name_racer · 4 months

If i could afford it i would leave the country. Or if atheists were acknowledged as a religion, or other right protected group, then maybe the government would give me a grant.

She does have a point though, there was absolutely no crime or hardship during the dark ages.

"Get OFF of our country"? Ok, Atheists, we will all jump into the air at the same time and be, technically, off of their country....for a second...but she didn't say for good...so...there's that.

How about we just ship assholes away from this country. A real assjole free zone. That's what I want.

the person who wrote this is obviously an atheist making fundies look stupid.

My wife's family lives in the same Alaska town where this woman is from. I've been there. I am not the least surprised by her sentiments.

KingoftheGoldenAge · 4 months

I worry when I remember that people can convince themselves of the existence of a god and proceed to live their lives defending it. They're willing to assault good people in the name of a god they have never seen a shred of proof to support, in complete disagreement with everything we continue to learn about our universe.

Gmoney613 · 4 months

america. get your shit together. as your neighbour and friend to the north, we are worried. what happened to you guys? At this rate, with mouth breathing idiots like this voting, and people like santorum running, I say ten years until the chinese dominate. ten. maybe less.

How much you wanna bet that in the 1700's someone said the exact thing about protestants and someone listened... history's trying to repeat itself...again.

Poopsturbator · 4 months

The most infuriating thing is you could provide this, "Alice Shannon" any number of facts to dispute this, such as Sweden being one of the world most atheistic country and also having the one of the highest standards of living, and she would just undoubtedly ignore it and continue spewing nonsensical bigotry.

I wish trolling in the newspaper was a more popular thing, then I could give this the benefit of the doubt.

rgb1997 · 4 months

Its shit like this that makes me agree with them. Imagine if all the scientists and atheists packed our bags and left christians in a completely science-less society, while we thrive in a new country with our own rules. Maybe these theists would one day learn..

wojovox · 4 months

I am frustrated one moment and then I feel profoundly sorry for this person.

apoole97 · 4 months

The US government also said slaves count as 3/5 of a person. I wish people like this would sit down, read a textbook and shut the f**k up.

TheDobligator · 4 months

 I do want to leave this country, because of bigoted idiots like these. This almost made me cry about the state this country is in.

 I honestly think these people should be the ones leaving to countries founded on theocracy, as ours was obviously not. But since they are not men of action and would prefer we be the ones who actually do stuff, I may just take it upon myself to act, as I am an existentialist and actually do stuff.

 By the way, if all us atheists were to leave, not only would most of the scientific community leave, but so would a great load of the drive for scientific exploration and ingenuity. Yeah. See how the US does without good engineers.

Ugh, its from my home state. Alaska is so embarrassing sometimes.
