Petition 2493 False

Gotta make this one short. A friend of mine recently sent me an email about Petition 2493. As a Christian, she is signing it to prevent the Atheists from petitioning the FCC to remove Christian programming from radio.

The petition is false. Other than the link to Snopes above, another disclaimer can be found on the James Dobson website Focus on the Family and also on the FCC site. I had to let her know.

I've written a few posts that are very critical of Christians but as an Atheist and ardent supporter of separations of Church and State I would never sign a petition to eliminate Christian or otherwise programming from radio. Radio is a free and public service and protected by the First Amendment. May they forever have a right to their say under the guarantees written in the Consitution. May we all. If their rights are taken away then we have reason to fear for ours as well.

Viva freedom from religion and freedom of all religion!

Glad yer back!!!
Once you start banning a certain group under the name of religion, for whatever reason, then all become unsafe. Those who cry "it's nothing to do with me" need only wait for their turn, but by then it may be too late.
