No one has been able to challenge my previous statement. Not one of you.
I challenged you to find one. Got one yet?
Here's a novel idea. Back up your claim.
The bigger challenge is to
1) Find someone who knows who she is.
2) Of that group, find someone who has read at least one book from beginnning to end
3) Of that group, find someone who agrees with her.
That's a tiny group, compared to the US population as a whole. But there seems to be a lot of people who spout her name, even though they can't name one of her books nor tell you anything about her personally.
Now I know this board is infested by a group of agnostic/atheist conservatives (although libertarian would be a better description), but you are actually part of a tiny fringe group nationally compared to the rest of the US population. None of you are representative of the opinions of the vast majority of Americans.
Evangelicals would throw her book in the trash if they knew she was an atheist. As somone who lives right in the middle of the Bible belt, it's obvious that atheists don't fare well with the religious right (which has taken over the Tea Party).
Not that most of those ignorant twits ever bothered to do real research and discover something on their own. They are spoon fed garbage by Beck, Hannity, and O'Reilly and the other clowns at Fox. Conservatives bank on the fact that most Americans are ignorant. If these people started to think for themselves, the GOP would lose a large block of their base.
