Stark News

Posted in Atheism, In the News, Guest Bloggers by Allen on the March 12th, 2007

All right, look around and remember where you were when you heard the news that Representative Pete Stark is openly atheist, the first one in American history!

I highly recommend you send him a positive message before the righteous backlash begins.

Whatever his politics may be, you have to admire his courage.

    This is awesome. I hope that more people come out like this. My husband was joking the other day about how I’d never be able to run for office now that I have an atheist bumper sticker (WWJD: Who Wants Jelly Donuts?) on my car.

    Starr King School of Ministry…ok, this may be a dumb question, but…what is this? If he is an atheist why is he a board member on this? Is this a religious
    organization or am I completely wrong?

    I am so glad Stark came out when he was elected. We (atheists) are considered to be the new gays. We have a way to go and this is a big step in the right direction. I live in Texas and the Texas Constitution states that to be elected to office one must acknowledge the presence of a god. I wonder if the spaghetti monster counts?
