Did US Florida Governor Charlie Crist assault an atheist?
If this is true, we should demand Crist apologize for such bigoted and hateful behavior.
via Atheist Alliance International:
US Florida Governor Charlie Crist has been accused of assaulting an individual for identifying himself as an atheist during a campaign event held in St. Petersburg, Florida.
A member of Atheists of Florida – an AAI affiliate – reported that he unexpectedly came across a campaign event being held for Governor Charlie Crist upon leaving a pizzeria in St. Petersburg on Friday, March 5, 2010. At the event, the individual found a chance to introduce himself to the governor and, shaking his hand, asked the Governor if “he really believes that the letters he sent to Jerusalem prevent hurricanes from hitting Florida”.
After a heated and brief discussion with the Governor, the individual identified himself as not believing in God; to which the Governor assulted the individual, tearing off a “Charlie Christ for US Senate 2010″ from the individual’s chest, then screaming at the victim that he “feels sorry for” him before turning his back to the assaulted victim to continue his campaign event.
Atheists of Florida is demanding an official apology for this outrageous behavior. Imagine if any public official had reacted this way to a Jew or a Muslim expressing their worldview, by invading their personal space to rip off a campaign sticker, then screaming that he “feels sorry” for them!

As I post this, there has been no reports of this in the media. If this happened there sure should be.
CBN News Video: Atheists and the White House
Pat Robertson’s CBN News has covered the historic meeting of the Secular Coalition of America with the Obama administration. Here’s the video:
Who would have thought that in 2010, it would still be acceptable to be bigoted toward a group of Americans?
I am proud of my friends at the SCA, and happy that Atheist Nexus is one of their endorsing organizations.

Church fires and atheist books
Jason Bourque, one of the suspects in the church arsons in East Texas, had firearms and books on demon possession and, get ready … atheism!
From the Dallas Morning News:
The men were charged with a single count of arson involving a house of worship, a crime punishable by five to 99 years in prison. But authorities say more charges will soon be filed against the two men in 10 church fires and three church break-ins in Van Zandt, Henderson and Smith counties.
Search warrants filed late Monday and Tuesday in Tyler indicate that authorities began collecting a wide array of evidence within weeks after the fires began. They spotted the same pairs of shoe tracks at several of the fires and break-ins, and later connected those tracks with shoes or boots worn by Bourque and McAllister.
After several attacks, authorities recovered matching DNA samples from rocks or bricks used to break into church buildings. Several of the warrants were used to obtain DNA samples from the two men.
A search of Bourque’s home after his arrest recovered books titled Demon Possession and The Atheist’s Way.
Also seized from Bourque’s residence were a Chinese-made SKS assault rifle, a Ruger 7 mm rifle and two .22-caliber rifles, a GPS and several pairs of brown shoes.
To my dear friends who were planning on forwarding this article to me as an example of the consequences of atheism, let me save you some time.
First, this idiot should go to prison for a long time. His alleged actions are despicable and an excusable.
Second, don’t forget Bourque had a book on demon possession, and left graffiti on the wall of a store bathroom of a flaming upside down cross. Why does this matter? Because atheists not only don’t believe in god(s), they don’t believe in demons or devils! How many times must I get e-mails from you asking why I hate God. Or why I love Satan? I consider them equally not real!
Finally, if the presence of an atheist book is worthy evidence of crime, let’s investigate how criminals have copies of the Bible in their homes.
