Chuck Norris Enters the Fray Too

By Ed Brayton

pWith all the controversy over that atheist sign in Washington, you knew that Chuck Norris was going to jump in to a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.viewpageId=83623"say something stupid about it/a, right? He lumps every instance of criticism of his views lately all together:/p blockquoteAtheists from England to the state of Washington are stepping up their efforts this year to make a bigger antagonistic splash on the Christmas scene. pA London campaign put signs on city buses saying, "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."/p pSecularists in Washington, D.C.. followed suit with a similar campaign on buses, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness sake."/p pAtheists in Colorado are posting signage on billboards that echo the '60s John Lennon music mantra, "Imagine no religion."/p pAnd, all over the news, an atheist group was given permission to display its sign alongside a nativity scene in the capitol of Washington (and now in Wisconsin and Illinois). The message reads, "At this season of the Winter Solstice, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell." It then obliterates political correctness by ending with the following hate language, "There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."/blockquote/p a href="http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2008/12/chuck_norris_enters_the_fray_t.php"Read the rest of this post.../a | a href="http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2008/12/chuck_norris_enters_the_fray_t.php#commentsArea"Read the comments on this post.../aimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scienceblogs/dispatches/~4/487662019" height="1" width="1"/
