Kudos to Pete Stark

Just this last weekend a couple of my fellow Secular Humanist godless atheists and I were discussing the fact that an atheist is less likely to get elected to high office in this country than a member of Al Qaeda.

So it was an interesting coincidence to learn that Congressman Pete Stark of California has come out of the closet, so to speak, and announced that he is ... an atheist!!.

Naturally the fundo Xian media was all over this one, and I'm waiting for Bushdaddy to come out and say that Pete is not an American.

Now watch for the American Taliban to pour millions into the campaign coffers of Stark's opponent next year. Cain't have one o' them godless comonists elected to high office, no sirree bob.

The rest of us over here in the Reality-Based Community will need to keep an eye on this and maybe chip in a few bucks for Pete's campaign, if only to show those Xian motherfuckers that we're here, we have no fear, and we're not gonna take their crap any more.
