Atheists to Accept Georgia Governor’s Offer by Sending Atheist Books to State Parks
Materials Will Be Placed Alongside Bibles in Cabins

Cranford, NJ—American Atheists announced Friday that it will send the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR) enough popular atheist books to place one in every state park cabin in the state. The atheist books will be placed alongside Gideon Bibles already in every state park cabin as directed by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal on Wednesday.

“We appreciate the governor’s invitation to place atheist books in the cabins and look forward to providing visitors with the opportunity to learn more about atheism when they visit Georgia’s beautiful state parks,” said Managing Director Amanda Knief.

The issue of the Bibles in the state park cabins came to light after former American Atheist President Ed Buckner rented one of the lodges last month and filed a complaint on April 28 after finding nine Bibles in his cabin.

The Bibles were removed by GADNR officials but Governor Deal ordered the Bibles back by executive order, saying he does “not believe that a Bible in a bedside table drawer constitutes a state establishment of religion.”

“American Atheists does not believe the State of Georgia should be placing Bibles or atheist books in state park cabins; however, if the state is going to allow such distribution, we will happily provide our materials,” said President David Silverman.

Jewish man covering himself in plastic bag during flight because faith forbids him to fly over cemeteries

Religion = Fancy name for Insane madness

—
A startling photo of a plane passenger who wrapped himself in a plastic bag for his flight has hit the internet.

The man dressed entirely in black beneath folds of plastic, sightly bows his head beneath the tied ends seen piled on his head. The passengers behind him strain to catch a look.

The photo was posted to Reddit on Thursday amid suggestions that the man is a Kohein, religious descendant of the priests of ancient Israel, who are banned from flying over cemeteries.

Many wrap themselves in plastic bags as a compromise measure.

‘In orthodox and Conservative communities, Kohanim,’ plural of Kohein ‘are expected to abstain from coming in contact with the dead, which includes a prohibition on visiting cemeteries except for the funerals of close relatives,’ Rabbi Jeffrey W. Goldwasser writes in an article for About.com.

Ban on Dancing on Good Friday Draws Protests; Conga Line in Cologne

–
FRANKFURT—Every year on Good Friday, Germany becomes a little like the fictional town in the movie “Footloose”—dancing is verboten.

The decades old “Tanzverbot,” or dance ban, applies to all clubs, discos and other forms of organized dancing in all German states.

In a country that takes pride in its disco traditions—immortalized by Mike Myers’s Dieter character in Saturday Night Live’s “Sprockets” sketch—the ban has begun to chafe.

At a rally in the center of Frankfurt on Thursday, a couple dozen protesters gathered to call for an end to the ban. The rally’s slogan: “I’ll let you pray—you let me dance.”

Political activists, pirates and a person in a hot-pink bunny costume were all in attendance as observers stopped by booths set up with information in the busy shopping district.

The Tanzverbot “severely limits the rights of those who are either atheists or who believe in other religions,” said Horst Weintraut, a member of the Pirate Party who was dressed in a black cloak and hat. “When someone is dancing Friday evening in a club in the basement, that doesn’t disturb any Christians who are praying or doing something in the church during the day.”
dapd Protesters of the historic dance ban blew bubbles and danced on Good Friday last year in Frankfurt.

Protests to overturn the Tanzverbot have grown over the past couple of years as students, atheists and club owners alike have lobbied to strike the law, which they say is outdated and unreasonable.
