Ah! The hoods, that should have been the first clue! Now I feel stupid.

āThey are just there if someone wishes to seek solace or guidance from them. The atheist station does not serve that purpose. It will not contribute to community values or helping an individual out.ā

How can he determine what will beneficial to someone else, if he refuses to even give them a chance to present another option? Iām so sick of people behaving as if all atheists have some inherent hatred of religions, or religious people. I donāt care what belief system you have, it has no bearing on my personal choice on how to live my life. I donāt think youāre stupid, or deluded, or evil believing something that canāt be true. I think you have a different way of living your life than I do, and thatās fine.

With respect, Mayor Fouts, fuck yourself. If I lived a thousand miles closer Iād sue to set up a station advocating adoption rights for cannibals. P.S. Have you considered Silhouette eyeglass frames? Theyāre Austrian, very stylish but functional too.

These are the actual beliefs of an actual mayor of a large city in Michigan. He needs a āreason boothā in his office.

Thatās why Iām an agnostic. Atheists have to buy their own uniforms and jackboots and those things are effing expensive.

Wait ā you got a hood? There were no booths giving out anything when I was there, just a bunch of people talking about gardening, the weather, local schools, the best local grocery stores, whether the fire department was going to get that new truckā¦

Maybe a Cthulhu Insanity Station instead since the mayor doesnāt think reason is appropriate.

Someone needs to take a history class. The Nazis were frying atheists and the KKK arenāt exactly friends of atheists.
As a matter of historical accuracy, Hitler was a Catholic and his top Generals were conservative fundamentalist Lutherans. The KKK brags about being Christians and so many KKK leaders were/are also Baptist ministers.
