Kentucky Lawsuit Prompts Stupidity Mail

By Ed Brayton

No, I'm not calling it hate mail, I'm calling it stupidity mail (though some of those emails do contain plenty of hate). These were all emails received by Edwin Kagin, the legal director of American Atheists who recently filed a lawsuit over the Kentucky homeland security department being required to declare reliance on God to fight terrorists. I'm including the email addresses and identities of those who sent the emails; if you're going to act this stupid, you shouldn't hide behind anonymity:

You have the right P.O box

I have personally seen God.

You are an arrogant piece of shit.

If it we legal, I would delight in ripping you to pieces.

Have a nice day, shitbag
