This sickens me. I'm an atheist and come from a long line of atheists, so I was never taught bible stories or sayings, etc. but I know there's one that says something like "whatsoever you do to the least of us, you do to me." Then there's the old saying of how you can judge someone by how they treat children and animals.

What does this figure and news item tell you about our country?
