Default Re: FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

Despite it being intended as a joke, it was a joke in poor taste IMO. I read it and had a mental reaction of "oh f*** you" (to the joke, not Variol). Of course I kept my opinion to myself because I hate flame wars. However, since everyone is chiming in, I'll add my two cents.

The thing is, while we all know it was a "chain email" joke, the joke was directed to a certain audience. The joke is mainly for christians, and I'd imagine that by and large christians send it to each other for a good laugh. It's a christian joke intended for a christian audience, and while some atheists may be able to take it in good spirits, it still is an attack one way or another. I did not appreciate the joke, for what its worth.
