Americans for Religious Tolerance

[UNTstormchaser]

Though I am sure some of you are going to view this as ironic, I started a facebook page today with a good friend of mine called Americans for Religious Tolerance. If you have a facebook and agree with the message, please do me a favor and like it and share it. I created it in response to the recent religiously motivated acts of violence and vandalism. All information can be found on the page.

Quick note: I'm an atheist and my friend Jake, who I decided to create the page with, is a very faithful Christian. I'm hoping that the page can catch on and grow to a mass audience, so that he and I can serve as an example of how people can not only tolerate others' beliefs, but be great friends with them as well.

Huh?

Huh?

What's there to question? Between numerous acts of vandalism lately, the Sikh tragedy, and the FRC shooting today, I felt it's an appropriate time to try to get a message of peace out. I figured I'd share it with my fellow Mean Green fans.

This is the last place I'd go looking for tolerance.

Haha, I figured I'd give it a try. But apparently some people were so opposed to the idea that they negatively voted the post. Oh well, not gonna keep me awake at night. All I can do is try.

Good luck, Stormchaser. I hope it helps. If it does let's start a page on political & ideological tolerance.

Thank you sir. It's gotten shared by a couple of pages (one atheist activist, and one band that has 12,000 likes), and it's gotten 35 likes in a day, so it's off to a good start. I'm hoping it blows up enough where I can do more than spread awareness with it. Maybe raise money and donate to victims of the Sikh shooting or something, or whatever cause is relevant at a time in the future.
