It makes sense that your novel would provoke such an ignorant and hateful response in _those_ people, who would lash out at me for writing "Morituri" if they but knew. <BR/><BR/>I've come to the conclusion that the fundies cannot be reasoned with; they are, for all practical purposes, genocidal maniacs -- and always have been. They may have, in their own way, inspired your novel and my poem, but I'm sure that we wrote these things with a more rational audience in mind. <BR/><BR/>I can only hope that the Christian mainstream in this country will come to their senses, withdraw their support for the fundies, and strip these maniacs of their power and influence. <BR/><BR/>Robert E.

I'm sure Tiff Harris would be willing to send you some...<BR/><BR/>Spencer-Our little group seems to attract notoriety of a kind we wouldn't want. Of course, there are a lot of atheist writers out there...especially in the SF field.<BR/><BR/>Shannon-Thanks for stopping by...maybe I should send the guy a thank you note...J Alan Erwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961944518711473445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16939453.post-86486457248650742412007-04-18T08:22:00.000-06:002007-04-18T08:22:00.000-06:00This guy just made me move your book up on my 'mus...This guy just made me move your book up on my 'must read' book list, can't wait! :-)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638088901866929061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16939453.post-11716767566313920402007-04-18T03:16:00.000-06:002007-04-18T03:16:00.000-06:00so now you're gonna go by the name of 'that atheis...so now you're gonna go by the name of 'that atheist author' eh? i bet you'd want a different kind of notoriety... you know i would LOVE to send him a virulent reply! sadly, it would just be wasted on his pathetic command of the english language!Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082458442650045892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16939453.post-80736502466888733632007-04-17T21:48:00.000-06:002007-04-17T21:48:00.000-06:00I am so jealous.

It's obvious that the person hasn't actually read your book and is probably just googling atheist or using technorati to find blogs by atheists.<BR/><BR/>The only person who ever left hate mail for me is my sister-in-law.<BR/><BR/>KPGKeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215176294238619193noreply@blogger.com
