Gotta love those christian values, right?
FOX News Facebook Page on 9/11 Cross Generates Death Threats Against Atheists

FOX News readers on Facebook started going off after Blair Scott, Communications Director for American Atheists, appeared on America Live with Megyn Kelly. Blair reports that when he returned home from his local FOX station for the interview that his voice mail was full of messages and his inbox had almost 200 hateful messages. “I can always tell when someone from American Atheists is on FOX news, because my Inbox explodes with hate email,” said Blair.

We can talk about the issues about this, but our friend William Hamby has put it well over at the Examiner.

Moderators on FOX News’ Facebook page had been trying diligently to delete the violent threats, but not before they were screen-captured by a diligent American Atheists member named Robert Posey.

Here are the screen captures of the death threats and threat of violence posted against atheists. We have left their screen names in place. If you’re devoted enough to make the death threat then you should be devoted enough to have your name attached to your hatred. How many did FOX News delete before they could be captured? There are over 8,000 comments on their post related to Blair’s appearance on FOX News.

2. It seems few groups are filled with more
bad spellers than Xstian fundamentalists.

But hey..we all know that fundamentalist atheists are every bit as bad as fundamentlist Xstians...right? This just proves it....

4. "I hope someone rapes you!"
That is just beyond bizarre. Maybe I've been de-sensitized from all of the death threats people throw around these days, but I think that person needs some serious mental evaluation.

5. These are Xtians
Not Christians!

True Christians follow the teachings of Christ, and try to help everyone.

Xtians, if they saw Christ today would call him a dirty socialist hippie!

6. I hope someone rapes you??? I love the Christian attitude
that "Sindy Clock" is displaying to us all. I am an atheist, and I have to say that I have never wished a rape on any human being (or any living creature) in my life. I wouldn't even have thought of that one.

This is too sad to comprehend. And I have to breathe the same air as these people.

10. Can the kinder gentler Xians of DU get even 1% of the posts here condemning this?
Edited on Fri Jul-29-11 08:20 PM by dmallind
Ya know, liberal believers in peace and tolerance being "the majority" and "mainstream" should be a piece of cake.

14. It's been said...
Religion can make people believe by the billions what only a madman would believe on his own.

15. Yes, mob mentality -

the same kind of rabid groupthink that these ignoramuses believe was responsible for the crucifixion of their beloved savior.
