Pursuit of the truth requires more than imagination: it requires the generation and decisive elimination of alternative possibilities until, ideally, only one remains, and it requires a habitual readiness to attack one's own convictions.

Hate Mail Montage from December!

During December of 2009, I filed a complaint about an unconstitutional religious display at the Luzerne County Courthouse - this letter was sent.

The nativity scene and menorah were taken down along with the snowman behind the tree as evidenced in this press release. Because of this, I received a great deal of hate mail, hate, threats, etc from residents of Luzerne County.

If you'd like to read all of the media coverage including newspaper articles, television appearances and stories, and everything else, feel free to browse through my "December 2009" section of my blog.

I've been putting off posting all of the hate mail from my King's inbox...I now am finally posting it. This isn't everything negative, but it is a great deal of it. There are still archived comments in articles to post, but I'll get to that later.

After this experience, a person can not tell me that religious moderates are not bad people, religion doesn't cause people to behave poorly, religion is not dangerous, etc.

Enjoy!

  6. wow despite its size that's a very high profile target. your a brave man to light such a touchpaper . i think perhaps you could have gone for a compromise solution perhaps just by adding models of thor, the flying spaggeti monster, bhudda, kali and perhaps a christopher hitchens to the traditional nativity theme . remember only when their nativity scene resembles a toddlers toy box will the true freedoms of secular government be satisfied.
