I am feeling pretty good about how things are going just now. Several years ago, I started responding to the more virulent of the Christ Cultist “Letters to the Editor” in the local newspaper. At this time, no one was responding (other than on a point of dogma) or rebutting such lurid claims as the validity of the “Great Flood” and dinosaurs living along side mankind! Since I was grossly outnumbered, I invented 5 identities (we are allowed only one letter per month) to allow me to rebut any answers to my rebuttals (I have a history of multiple identities, just ask the Web Master – LOL). In the last year, more an more Atheists, Deists, Agnostics, and Libertarians has been posting rebuttals to these Christ Cult missives, (hopefully following my lead) leaving me free to pick and choose those that I wish to rebut! Here is the most recent letter I submitted (in rebuttal to a Cultist whining about losing his “religious liberties” to the “secular, elitists, Democrats” :

Raised on a cotton farm, 25 year military career, independent voter that has consistently voted GOP in the Presidential Elections, strongly religious, just not a member of Christianity, fought for freedom during three separate conflicts, former member of Law Enforcement and very hard on crime. Guess I am not the secular, elitist, Democrat that Mr. Waitrek (Apr 20) spoke of, but I take umbrage with his whining about his “Religious Liberties” being taken. If he had ever been a member of a minority religion, he would see why we are finally rising up against the constant bombardment of Christian dogma! You want Christmas, give the Moslems Ramadan, and give the Jews Chanukah! You want prayer at football games; let the Voodoo priest sacrifice a chicken also! Because of the strong Christian heritage in this country, Christians see nothing unequal about the sanctioned Christian holidays and displays, but to us non-Christians it is a slap in the face! The “traditional” Pledge of Allegiance? The traditional Pledge (pre Eisenhower administration) did not contain “under God”, the pre Eisenhower currency did not contain the motto “In God We Trust” – see the Conservative Christian dogma creeping in? What is the downside of exhibiting a religious item in a secular courthouse? The exhibit implied government sponsorship, giving insult to those not of that religion, that is the downside! If Mr. Waitrek and his ilk would walk in our shoes for just one week, their attitude might be changed forever! - Heimdall
