*insert something about Ghandi and taking issue with the un-christlike here*

From one of my hometown newspapers (Lancaster has three, though come June there will only be two as the morning and afternoon paper combine):

Editor, New Era:

I believe felicitations and best wishes are in order for all the atheists who are reading this paper today.

I understand that atheists are feeling left out because Christians and Jews have all their special holidays. But atheists don't realize that they also have a day set aside for them.

King David said the fool has said in his heart there is no God. So, here is your day, atheists. Most of the world is celebrating the day with you.

Happy April Fools' Day!

Anna Mae Ressler
Ephrata

*sigh* Who writes stuff like this? Seriously. (Apparently Anna Mae Ressler of Ephrata does.) I hope you're happy with your smug, superior self. But what would you say to Jesus if he asked you about it? Unless they were getting it completely wrong in Sunday school, the Jesus I was taught about, I think he'd be frowning at this.

To the Christians out there who don't feel the need to be such jerks, thank you. some of your co-religionists could learn a thing or two from you.

It's easy to allow silliness like this to wash over me--I can just chuckle and remember that ultimately, the joke's on her. :) No, this is peanuts compared to earnest efforts by every stripe of zealot to bend the world to their will.

If she weren't a snarky Christian, she might have been a snarky Hindu or Muslim or whatever. Either way, no sweat off my brow.

She actually does actions. See the link another poster gave above.
