Hello All,
In another case exemplifying why religion and government are best treated like oil and water, both there, but never mixing. A Claremont, New Hampshire City Councilor, named Johnathan Stone is insulting an atheist (who I am not naming to protect their privacy, but will call Kirk) living in the city who suggested that two religious displays be removed from a public park, or that all faiths be able to put up displays. He suggested that he be able to put up a Satanic display, though he is not a Satanist, in order to make the public display religiously neutral, however in a stunning show of disgraceful conduct, Stone started insulting Kirk and his wife in a conversation with a white nationalist. Stone's posts are now under investigation by local police, Stone says they are fine, they only mention Kirk's family, not threaten them. Stone has also blamed Kirk for starting the debate and "threatening" the city to try and change its tradition. Kirk isn't threatening them, he's doing them a favor by pointing this out to protect them from lawsuits, and the FFRF or the Freedom From Religion Foundation is set to enter the scene, however, at this time I don't know what they will do. This is a stunning case of discrimination based on belief or, in this case, the lack thereof, it is a testament to why religion should be kept out of government. I hope you will join me in calling for Stone's resignation, his conduct is unworthy of his position, and he may have harassed a family simply trying to protect the city they live in from lawsuits, as for trying to get the city to change tradition, which in all honesty isn't worth preserving in this case.
