Atheist Disaster Relief - Ed Ditto

The Editor,

Recently, as our church group drove into Gulf Port, Mississippi, we noticed something that surely is most unusual. All the churches along highway 49 from north of Gulf Port on down were doing some kind of disaster relief. Some churches were doing so much "business" that the National Guard was directing traffic. As we went deeper into the area and the devastation became worse, one of our group made this not so tongue-in-cheek observation.

He said, "I see all the churches' disaster relief happening but I haven't seen the Atheist Disaster Relief sign."

Another of the group wryly commented, "Let's find a major news network reporter and ask them. They will know where it is."

It is interesting that while we were in Waveland clearing hurting people's yards, raking the muck out of houses, and delivering survival kits and hugs door-to-door, we neither saw the Atheist Disaster Relief place nor a network news reporter. Perhaps they are all in New Orleans waiting to report on something really important.
