According to news sources  the Freedom From Religion  group has filed yet another lawsuit, this time in regards to prayers and "so help me God" from the inauguration ceremonies. It seems that the government is picking a winner between "believers" and "those who don't believe."

Dan Baker stated to FOXNews Radio, "We're hoping to stop prayer and religious rituals at government functions, especially at the inauguration." He continued to say, "Yet we are subjected to someone else's religious views with the endorsement of the government, which makes us feel like second class outsiders." Maybe Mr. Baker and his followers should take classes on improving their self-esteem so that they would not feel they must act like spoiled children who aren't getting their way. 'If you won't play the way I want, I'll just pitch a tantrum and ruin it for everybody.'

I looked at Freedom From Religion (FOF) site and they appear to have these paroxysms quite often. Normally one would handle a child that is having a tantrum is to either remove the child to another place, such as time out or distract the child with something different to occupy his/herself. Or give in and let the child have their way. Giving in is not the correct approach for either the child or Freedom From Religion. My suggestion to them would be to find something that would build rather than further divide people.

FOF claims that "Atheist are the most despised minority in the land." If you did more to help the less fortunate, for them to gain skills they need to succeed and less time filing lawsuits over a prayer because your feelings got hurt, maybe your group wouldn't be so despised. I don't despise you, I pity you. Thankfully not all atheists feel the same way as the ones from FOF.
