American Atheists Bench in Florida Gets Vandalized… and We Know Who Did It

[SecularMotion]

We all knew the American Atheists bench outside the Bradford County Courthouse in Florida was a prime target for vandals… but I wasn’t expecting this.

Someone named “Zach Hillbillyboy Osborne” spit tobacco juice on the bench — a stain I’m not sure will come out — and then had the audacity to (A) take a picture of it and (B) send that picture to American Atheists:

He made a completely intelligible comment while he was at it, and AA responded:

AA is filing a police report. They also made this suggestion to other potential vandals:

Tend to react much quicker.

7. Did you read the Article?

"Though I should say this Facebook post makes it sound like he is, indeed, a Christian"

He writes, " Just got to Church, should be a good day i hope"


Not persecuting. Merely commenting on his actions just like everyone else do that comments.

9. I did. It's as easy to claim to be a christian as it is to claim to be an atheist.

10. posting on Facebook about attending church is a very christian thing to do.

I guess.

11. The internet has been very friendly to atheist websites as well.

13. True. You don't seem to actually have to follow it to claim membership. Pity. (NT)

12. Wow. Most people aren't honest enough to say they worship

capitalism, even though it is a very common religion here in the US.

8. And thats a summons in yalls mailbox.

What a complete moron. Doesn't matter if he's christian or whatever. His being a moron overshadows all else.

Love their response.
