The Blasphemy Challenge, it is a little old to bring up.
But in case you haven't, check out this video of what it is here. The link also has interviews about it.
Including, a bugged interviewer, interviewing for ABC's Nightline.
Also, a deranged enraged FOX commentator, who apparently cannot stand anyone forsaking his dark Gods.
Funny how freaked out religious people get when people suggests they are wrong, more precisely when they shun the whole of religion. They could laugh at the "foolishness". A different religion proselytizes, they may not like it, but it is usually shrugged off (INSERT example to the contrary here.). But suggest and go around suggesting no god/gods/magic trees...BOOM...
Tell [Christians] you are [Jewish], they will nod (Presuming they are not far out nutters.) Tell [them] you are an atheist, and they ask if you had considered embracing [Jesus]. It can't be that you can live, move, and breath, without it.
There are also more on the first link.
Addendum:
Oh yeah. I deny that the Holy Spirit exists. Since I see no empirical support for it's existence, it doesn't, nor will I fall on my knees in fear at the supposition of ifs and maybes, or wishes and horses. I don't think St. Nick, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, or Old Scratch are real in any way more than a song or a poem is real.
If you think otherwise, eh. To each his own, as long as we aren't forcing our beliefs. Doesn't mean I can't express my opinions and logic, or that it is wrong.
I have long thought it might be for the best to not be too specific in my thoughts on religion. Better to not prevent or dissuade conversation. Hence putting religious perspective on politics sites in my links. But it is wrong for one of the many perspectives to be obliged to hide itself so others "feel better". Too many liberal speakers have asked atheists and agnostics to shut up and get in back. It is wrong. No. All voices should be welcomed.
