Over 8,000 Death Threats Against Atheists

On Fox News' Facebook Page

The Fox News Facebook page got over 8,000 death threats posted on its wall after the Communications Director for the American Atheists, Blair Scott, appeared on the network’s “America Live” discussing the group’s lawsuit hoping to stop the erection of a crucifix at the World Trade Center Memorial.

The cross in question is not a crucifix as is doesn't have the figure of Christ on it. It was found and retrieved from within the wreckage of the WTC. It was formed as two steel beams already joined at 90 degree angles were cut when the skyscrapers collapsed. The World Trade Memorial simply wants to display the cross as a part of the history of the event.

Maybe Blair Scott could calm down for once.

No, I don't condone death threats.

I checked the names listed in the story...only one of them popped up, but the profile picture didn't match. I'm wondering if it was staged...

Hmmm, death threats against atheists? I mean, it's not like you could send them to Hell or anything.

I don't think that's how some think it works.

See post #4. From what I could see on my FB account, only one of them came back as a member of FB, and the profile picture didn't match.
