that you decided to tack on at the end:

I hope they take one minute to sign Alexander Aan's petition first.

Let's see. I'm an American atheist that gives his money and time to basically no atheist organization though I did send a one-time sum to FFRF. So I have to live with what they are doing in this comparison. You, on the other hand, are part of the RCC and, I presume, give them some time and money so you have to live with what they are doing in this comparison. So, with that in mind, give me your best "FFRF is a bunch of assholes" response.
