I wrote a poem on July 12th ("America is not a Christian Nation") based on a column in the Orlando Sentinel decrying how evil Americans are due to the separation of church and state. In the comment that follows each of my news print poems, I refuted that claim. I liked that comment so much that I used it as a basis for a "Letter to the Editor." Today, my letter was printed in the Orlando Sentinel, and I used that letter to create today's poem.
Next, we add irony to the mix. The picture I used with the July 12th poem was all about positive values--it was used to refute the poem. It would have made a great picture for today's poem. However, since I didn't want to use the same picture twice, I went looking for a patriotic picture. I selected one showing the Statue of Liberty on the Fourth of July. Then I noticed the url and began laughing. The url was http://askanatheist.tv. "Ask an Atheist"--How cool is that?
