Atheists Idiots Demand Church Bells Silenced


**Updates at the bottom**

This is why I don’t like to associate myself with atheists.

Atheists demand removal of church bells owned by municipality

GRISWOLD, Conn. –Local officials vow that the bells of a Baptist church will continue to peal above the complaints of atheists.

A sound system owned by the borough of Jewett City and the town of Griswold and housed in a church has prompted the Connecticut chapter of American Atheists Inc. to demand that the governments cut their ties with the bells. The group also wants the volume turned down.

More than 75 residents pushed back Monday, demanding that the borough’s Board of Warden and Burgesses not silence the sound system that plays the chimes heard throughout the area.

Some officials say that barring a court order or legal advice to the contrary, the bells will continue to sound.

“The bells will continue to toll until they stop us,” Borough Warden Cynthia Kata said.

Burgess Patrick Sullivan was defiant.

“The borough is not gonna run,” he said. “We’re here, and we’re gonna fight.” (read more)

I’m offended by the ignorance of fellow atheists. Can I sue them for making atheists with common sense look bad?

Update: Let’s see the Atheists and the ACLU sue Oklahoma City for this.

Crosses in downtown OKC

Every year buildings in downtown Oklahoma City light the sides of their buildings in the shape of a cross. Let’s see the ACLU and Atheist Grinches steal this Oklahoma Christmas tradition.

    The most beautiful sound that I can think of are church bells. I grew up in Austria and loved waking up to the bells ringing.
    I always thought of the church being the heart of the town.
    It took me a long time to realize WHAT WAS MISSING in the USA. How sad that something so beautiful has been taking away from almost all cities.
    How to people know when there is a funeral or a wedding ?
    I am of an age now where those things matter to me and my next home will be in a town where people still care about each other and bells bring them together.
    I hope to find it soon.
    God bless everyone.
