Amanda at Pandagon.net really nailed this for me so I didn't have to go off on a rant myself regarding Liddy Dole's last, desperate attempt to keep her cushy job in which she apparently gets to live off of the taxpayer's money while doing everything she can to screw them... a good gig if you can get it. Oh, and not actually living, or even visiting the state you represent except for slush-fund replenishing dinners is pretty posh too I suppose.
What’s awesome about atheists is we really are fucking scary, and just for the reasons I outlined above. Many of us look exactly like “real Americans”, as defined by McCain/Palin. We’re all scary and mysterious like that. You could be sitting next to a white lady with a Texas accent holding a boy’s hand on the bus and feel secure that she’s not a scary Other that is rotting this country at its core, but you’d be wrong, because that lady is me and I’m a Godless American. We’re everywhere, like Amway, except we have morals but no god, so sort of the opposite of Amway.
We might just turn to you, and in a voice that sounds just like a “real” American voice, destroy your fragile faith by saying, “Have you ever considered that if god is all powerful and all good, then there shouldn’t be evil in the world? So either god is evil, not all powerful, or doesn’t exist. Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it?” That’s why we’re the scariest non-real Americans in America.
