Atheist Group Blasts Postal Service For Mother Teresa Stamp


NYDailyNews.com:
An atheist organization is up in arms over the U.S. Postal Service’s plans to honor Mother Teresa with a commemorative stamp, claiming that her religious vocation excludes her from such an tribute under Postal Service regulations.

The organization,
Freedom from Religion Foundation, is encouraging its supporters to boycott the stamp on the grounds that postal stamps cannot honor “individuals whose principal achievements are associated with religious undertakings,” according to FoxNews.com.

Annie Laurie Gaylor, a spokeswoman from the foundation, feels that Mother Teresa’s charitable work is inextricably linked to her status as a religious figure. “You can’t really separate her from being a nun and being a Roman Catholic from everything she did,” Gaylor told FoxNews.com.
Once again, blame Barry. After all it was our very liberal Teleprompter-in-Chief who injected atheists (thereby empowering the Godless lot) in his Inauguration speech last year. Mother Teresa certainly merits her own stamp. The woman devoted her life to bringing awareness and relief to the poor and suffering. If any anti-God liberal doesn't like her getting a stamp, there's a simple solution: don't buy it. Idiots.
