It's really encouraging to read the latest flurry of anti-religious essays coming from excellent writers such as Rushdie and Dawkins. They have helped inspire me to do more anti-religion activism in the future. Religion is truly a problem in America and the Left will be destroyed by it if they try to curb those of us who seek to do more anti-religion activism.

I really get fucking pissed when other leftists or activists respond to my anti-religion commentes with some mealy-mouthed platitudes about how the religious left is so wonderful. Yes, I know that the religious left exists and I'll work with them. But I have a right to express my anti-religion views. Having come froma fundamentalist family and understanding their mindset, I know that you can pussyfoot around with them.

Fuck God!
