The WotW this week is a group of people that feels persecuted and hated. They're constantly whining about how the culture is being taken over by those who think differently than themselves. They take every display of this group's beliefs as a personal assault. And, no, I'm not talking about liberals. I'm talking about strident atheists.
Vox Day calls them "socially autistic". I'll buy that. These clowns think that the display of any Christian symbol anywhere is a direct threat to their person, and they're not afraid to be vocal about it.
Their latest crusade (ironic choice of words, no?) is to ban Christian-themed license plates.
You've seen the dopey "theme" plates. Penn State Alumna. Miami Dolphins. Save the bay. Choose life. It seems like every imaginable group is pushing to get its own particular personalization. And, trust me, if Maryland ever came out with a 49ers-themed plate, I'd be all over it.
I rather doubt that anyone thinks that by putting out a Miami Dolphins-themed plate the state of Florida is endorsing the Dolphins over any other football team. You don't see Tampa Bay fans panicking over that, do you?
But the autistic atheists think that one Christian-themed plate is one too many.
[T]he plates may constitute a state sanctioning of one religion over another, and that raises the ire of non-Christians and free speech advocates."Free speech advocates". Now there's an oxymoron!
These people don't want free speech for anyone but themselves. Express your love for Christ, expect to be shouted down by the "free speech advocates".
For putting their little tender sensibilities ahead of the free-speech rights of Christians, strident atheists are the Wiener of the Week.
