"I don't think Lyn reacted irrationally at all. After being traumatised by these mosters I think her reaction was perfectly rational.
And, after all, those people were trespassing. Moreover, they are so irrational that they need a bit of a…"

"Do you have a No Trespassing or No Soliciting sign in your yard? In my state, you can do just about anything including shoot someone if you have those signs in your yard. If you post a No Soliciting sign in your yard and one of her ilk comes back…"

"A preliminary step might be to put a "No Solicitors" sign in front of your house somewhere.
I think the most important thing to remember first is that they have no right to set foot on your property. Their audacity to trespass may come…"

"You are not overly emotional on this issue. There is no shame in showing emotion. Some things are so heinous, that we are lying to ourselves when we try to squelch our emotions about them. Rock on and shout and rant all you want. I think it's…"

"Thank you, John. Yes, it is true - some of us are atheists. We are here and that's just the way it is. If some people don't like it, then that's just too bad.
Thank you, John. I must disagree about a 'seething bitterness'.…"

"The treatment of many children in ultra religious homes is beneath contempt. The fear and anxiety fostered in them with tales of hell and damnation destroys the innocence of childhood that ever child deserves.
It's truly sad you had to endure…"

"You reacted out of surprise and a bit irrationally based on being caught off guard. I think its natural. The gracious thing to do would be to find the people who came to your door, offer an apology. If that's not possible, tell your kids that…"

"I don't think it's god you fear as much as his human helpers, their social pressures and your intolerant family. My advice to you is to work hard for an atheist cause and learn how to legally fight these people and their institutions. We…"

"Thank you, Glen. Funny you should mention stargazing as I am watching 'Through the Wormhole' on the Science Channel right this very minute. HD is a wonderful invention."
Glen Rosenberg commented on Lynn Spilling's blog post Buried Rage and Leftover Fear
"I applaud your courage in confronting the promoter of evil.
Any time I feel out of sorts I like to stargaze. Stargazing promotes perspective
on life and can ease troubled thinking. Try it."

I was approached by a Christian proselytizer this evening as I made my way to my car in my very own driveway. A car slowed down and a young woman got out of the passenger seat with flyers in her hand and invited me to her church. If she had been looking for yard work or trying to sell me a newspaper subscription, I would have simply said 'no thank you'. I was enraged instead.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hello Lynn. You have come to the right place. We understand. Welcome to this friendly meeting place where we recognise--as freethinking atheists do--that gods are phoney and religion is used to control people;
and how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and more.
