ATHEIST FOUND NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS

Quote Of The Day

"In physical science a first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning and practicable methods for measuring some quality connected with it. I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind: it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be. "

--William Thomson, Lord Kelvin

ATHEIST FOUND NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS

In Oklahoma a 15 year old girl was kicked off her basketball team for refusing to pray with the team. When the atheist family inquired into what had happened they were met with lies, threats, violence and legal charges stemming from an altercation between the father and the girl's principal.

On June 22, 2006 a jury found the atheist not guilty on all counts.

Some prospective jurors did not know what an atheist was. Others admitted they could not believe an atheist over a Christian. Such jurors were dismissed, but eventually 12 jurors were selected and a verdict favorable to the atheist was rendered.

The night the verdict was presented, a tornado struck the home of the school principal, who had lied under oath.
