May 22, 2006

First, we had Rabbi Gellman writing about “angry atheists”. Now we have Rabbi Shafram who thinks we are little better than hit men for the Mafia:

Several months ago I came across a discussion wherein a (self-proclaimed) pastor had managed to start an argument amongst atheists by registering a complaint about atheists who claimed there were no gods.
