Fox FB page leads to death threats against atheists

[hyphenate]

Never doubt that hard right Xtians are always going to be among the most hateful, despicable people in the world. So far today, I have read about 5 articles on their rabid, intolerant and nasty adherents, and it only makes me more angry that these people are leading the packs of assholes we encounter every day in our world. Bastards.

FOX News readers on Facebook started going off after Blair Scott, Communications Director for American Atheists, appeared on America Live with Megyn Kelly. Blair reports that when he returned home from his local FOX station for the interview that his voice mail was full of messages and his inbox had almost 200 hateful messages. “I can always tell when someone from American Atheists is on FOX news, because my Inbox explodes with hate email,” said Blair.

We can talk about the issues about this, but our friend William Hamby has put it well over at the Examiner.

Moderators on FOX News’ Facebook page had been trying diligently to delete the violent threats, but not before they were screen-captured by a diligent American Atheists member named Robert Posey.

Here are the screen captures of the death threats and threat of violence posted against atheists. We have left their screen names in place. If you’re devoted enough to make the death threat then you should be devoted enough to have your name attached to your hatred. How many did FOX News delete before they could be captured? There are over 8,000 comments on their post related to Blair’s appearance on FOX News.

1. someone needs to transcribe that

so their name and statements are text, not images ... so it comes up when future employers/dates search them online.

2. found one.

Tim Allison- Quote' "KILL THEM"

Wrestling fan, gun nut, McDonald employee.

4. A real winner.

I bet the ladies are just lining up to perpetuate his genes. Suppose he actually knows how to use those rifles without injuring himself?

[Union Thug]

12. He's so stupid that he can't even spell his employer's name correctly...

mcdonlds? Really? Proof that these guys are missing a few genes.

[Union Thug]

14. Here's another. She hopes that atheists are raped...

...Apparently, she has religion/sexuality issues.... Send her a note, maybe she'll friend you: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000038237049

[Union Thug]

15. And another - this guy has no sense of irony...

He asks when "we" can start killing atheists and then goes on to say that atheists are hateful. Smart guy. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1557974969&sk=info

24. Oh dear lord... I don't think I've ever seen such a sad, twisted person.

Well, Ok, I've seen a few, but this guy is up there.

He hates his life, lives in a fantasy world, most of the people he admires would find him despicable, he'll be lucky to hook up with any female that isn't bi-polar or otherwise neurotic, and he vents his rage toward people he knows little or nothing about.

What a sad, angry soul.

People like him need lots of help.

3. So I'm "f'ing scum"?

How Xian of them...

Do you think they really want to kill us, or are they just fapping to their favourite fantasy?

Oh, and I expect the DDD (DU Divinity Division)will be along any minute to whine about how the OP is "bashing" them by posting this, and more whining that these people are not "RealChristians(tm)".
I'm certain at least ONE of the 35,000-odd flavours of Xianity would claim 'em.

[Blue-Jay]

5. How can a follower of the teachings of the Christ wish violence on someone?

Yes, that sentence was very specifically worded. In my experience, "Christians" are very rarely "followers of the teachings of the Christ".

[Union Thug]

16. A quick glance at history tells the tale. This is the norm, not the aberration . n/t

[FourScore]

6. Unbelievable. n/t

[Urban Prairie]

7. These hate-filled cretins consider themselves to be "Christians"?!?

Dunno if I should hope that they will burn eternally in the Hades that they are taught to believe exists in the afterlife...or perhaps better still, they become reincarnated perhaps as dung beetles, lampreys, or ringworms first.

Disgusting scum make me feel ashamed of being born as a Christian as well. I attended pariochial schools for 9 years, in the 60s, but don't remember ever being taught to hate other whose beliefs differed from my own, they may have purposely glossed over the horrors of the Crusades, but not hating Muslims, Atheists, or Jews..ect. I vaguely remember only one woman who was often the subject of articles in newspapers back then, and who was militantly atheist, but I can't recall her name right now.

11. You might be thinking of

Madalyn O'Hair. She was murdered some years back, with her son and someone else. I know I spelled her last name right, but I'm not positive on her first name.

[Urban Prairie]

17. Thats it, Madalyn Murray O'Hair n/t

[Jim Warren]

8. Killing in the name of dog

has got things backwards.

[DBoon]

13. No dog could be that evil

[Union Thug]

9. Gotta love those hypocritical crapsacks who call themselves Christian

I'm an Atheist and (to paraphrase) welcome their hatred.

[Union Thug]

10. Oh - and now that I have their facebook names, I may have to send a few notes...n/t

[Forkboy]

18. I would never threaten an atheist, they don't believe in Hell.

They can fuck me up with no consequences! ;)

[krabigirl]

19. If those aren't fake accounts, those people truly are stupid. nt

[Urban Prairie]

20. Looks like sizable portions of "Facebook" need to be renamed (Christian) Fascistbook, IMO. n/t

[The Doctor.]

21. Christ would personally slap the living fuck out of these people.

Or just break down and cry.

Either way, I wouldn't blame him.

[spanone]

22. 'christians' want to kill atheists.....'thou shalt not...' whatever

[frogmarch]

23. Casey M Jones owns a lawn care

business. I found a few of the others on Fb too. Weird people.

Bet their heads would explode if someone informed them that their "Kill the atheists!" threats are no different from Muslim extremists' "Death to infidels!"
