Where can I find similar articles, but written in a different style?

The good news here is that atheists continue to get increased visibility – and now it’s trickled down from the national to the local level. This is excellent.

The fact that we’ll get opposition just by being recognized is par for the course, and we should expect it, but the criticism is worth it if our ideas and our very existence is being reported.

Jared, I constantly see kind, ethical Christians taking it on themselves to apologize for their nasty, mean-spirited brethren. If Christians can be assholes just as often as non-Christians, where’s the influence of the holy spirit? Is it so weak, because of free will, that it can’t be detected?

Shouldn’t those with access to divine guidance behave at least a cut above those of us poor slobs who don’t have a member of the trinity living in our hearts?

“Mommy! They let some other kid go before me! I should have been first! Why wasn’t I first?! I always go first!”

What can I say? Christians are spoiled in this country. I’m glad that I don’t need to worry too much about violent extremist Christians, but that’s only because I realize that most Christians are far too lazy and spoiled for such violence. It’ll be a scary day when they snap out of that.

the Christians in question are after top billing – they are upset the atheists got it. As for Group mentality – yes thats the way it works. We are a group – we are the church – the people of God – however you want to put it – I am one of them. Even if i don’t always agree with them.

Jared, I don’t understand your apology. Who sold out for commercialistic publicity? The subject of this post is a newspaper that we think didn’t sell out, and is now getting complaints for it.

Also, apologizing for your “brothers and sisters” when clearly you have no responsibility for the whole thing shows a sort of group mentality that will strike most atheists as odd, to say the least.

I am so sorry my brothers and sisters can be such assholes sometimes. I really wish we would act like we were told to act – you know by the one we follow (Jesus) – but we rarely do. Sorry they didn’t recognize the value humans, and sold out for the value of commercialistic publicity.

Maybe, now and again, you should complain….
