Wanted: Unfriendly Atheists

Have you ever noticed that most people who commit violent crimes are always remembered by their neighbors and friends as such nice people? Why is everyone’s reaction always along the lines of “But he was such a good boy – he fed soup to the homeless everyday. He would never assassinate the president.” Or “but she was always so sweet to animals. I can’t imagine why she would electrocute her babysitter.”

A few days ago, in Pennsylvania, 18-year-old David Ludwig shot and killed his girlfriend’s parents after arguing about her curfew. He then allegedly kidnapped the 14-year-old girl, outrunning the police until a high-speed crash in Indiana.

Now his neighbors are speaking up. One of his coworkers commented, “He was a really good guy. He was friendly and joked around. I considered him to be a good Christian – he brought his Bible and read it during breaks.”

If this is the way good Christians behave, I think I’m going to avoid them. What, you’re carrying a Bible? Whoah stay away from him, he could be dangerous. If you are an unfriendly atheist, let’s be buddies. Give me a call.
