Yep, you read that correctly. An atheist group is boycotting the US Postal Service because thay plan to release a stamp in August with Mother Teresa on it.
Nevermind the fact that she won the Nobel Peace Prize and nevermind the fact that she provided aid, love, and care to thousands of people....no, this atheist group called the "Freedom from Religion Group" has come out and said, "Mother Teresa is principally known as a religious figure who ran a religious institution. You can't really separate her being a nun and being a Roman Catholic from everything she did."
The FRG are crying because they say that having Mother Teresa on a stamp it "violates postal regulations against honoring individuals whose principal achievements are associated with religious undertakings."
Give me a friggin break. I mean seriously, are you kidding me?!?! Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this but don't atheists believe that there isn't a God? So why should they care? They want a woman that delivered hope and love to thousands of people to not be recognized because she was a woman of faith? Does this mean that the only people that should get recognized for humanitarian efforts not believe in anything? If that was the case, why would someone believe in helping people or even love for that matter?
If I was the US Postal Service, which I'm not, I would be sure and write them a nice response that says, "Get a Life...and some faith for that matter."

The most intolerant among us are those who claim to act in the name of tolerance.
