Want to read some disconnected thinking? It starts out as commentary on Newtown.

This is from a former friend's F/B page. He morphed into a real teabagger.


Because there are no answers, because I'm so upset about the killings and the moral state of our country, I did some reading.

Madalyn Murray O'Hair, founded the American Atheists and won a law suit on behalf of her son's rights in the classroom, which concluded with banning reading the Bible in public schools. Part of our heritage. See Abe Lincoln. An era changed for us all, now one nation under God is like saying "come arrest me I've lost my senses and I've become a total radical, I've stepped on your rights!"

So out of curiosity I decided to read more about her. She had several children, 2 sons. She had many relationships both in and out of marriage. She went to law school graduating, but could never pass the bar. However, the most frightening thing to me was, the following:

Madalyn Murray O'Hair was murdered along with her son and grand-daughter Sept. 29th, 1995. A man in her employ, David Roland Waters, stole $500,000.- in gold coins from the American Atheists, sawed up the bodies into tiny pieces and burried them on a remote ranch in Texas. In 2001 he took the police to the burial site. They had to identify them from DNA, dental records and in her case - a prosthetic hip. The money, which he had locked in a locker was stolen from him when other thieves found it, but for one coin. He died in prison of lung cancer in 2003.

Why on earth should we not change/undo some cases, which obviously are not working. "How about Thou Shall Not Kill" (sic) back in place? for the next generation to read everyday?

Something to think about. I don't think Madalyn's spirit would mind somehow.

2. Thank you. You got the same impression I got.

Hope he doesn't own (or has access to) a gun . . . . .

3. It's a tortured version of "If only they hadn't taken God out of school."

MMO'H is a perennial favorite whipping post of fundies.

4. So... because a woman was outspoken, driven and ultimately a victim of greed --

her life's work should be utterly reversed in the name of WTH?

That logic train jumped the tracks.

5. Excellent point. No Christian has ever been murdered for money.

The big copy of the Ten Commandments on their welcome mat does the trick.
