“Hi Jennifer,
Have a good time!
I have seen your blog and wondered about your activities.
you are active, honest, lover of nature, and a girl with grate fillings.
After reading your blog, I have wondered how such woman with such open mind, can disclaim her creator or her God !!!!??
Do you really deny any creator for this mathematical and systematic world!??
What is your reasons for this atheism ?!
Do you know really what causes that such a grate human is performed from electrons ?!!
Do you know what is the relationship between behavior and gens ?!! Who create this ?! you ?! me ?! People before me and you ?!
Do you really agree that such a grate wonderful systems (genetics, human, world , … ) appear accidentally ?!!”
Yes.

Heddle, why are you so incompetent at logic and debate as to not know that the actual content of the letter is ridiculous no matter the grammar?
And why are you so one-sidedly pissy as to assume that giggles over poor grammar are hateful because the writer isn’t a native English speaker? If you actually read the comments in most blogs and forums, or for that matter, ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET, instead of skimming them just enough to sate your fetishistic confirmation bias, you’d notice that typos frequently become running gags. Magically, it doesn’t even imply contempt for the person who made the error.
I wrote “numberical” in a chat yesterday, and almost twenty people, most of whom I don’t know, made fun of the word. All afternoon. That didn’t mean they were making fun of me. Your wittle persecution complex causes you to see otherwise, but strangely, only when the imagined victim is someone you want to agree with.
As I said, there is no implied contempt in ANY of those comments for the writer based on grammar. Now let’s compare your posts…
Hmmm. Nothing but insults based on a false premise there. Does Jesus love you for being a hypocritical liar?
No really, I’m genuinely curious as to what your deity says about people who are hypocrites and liars, like you in this thread. Whyn’tcha look it up and get back to us. How about Christians who, through their behavior (hypocritical and lying in your case), drive others away from Christ? What does He think of that? Surely it’s written down somewhere.
How about stalking people in hopes of finding something to gloat over? Does that relate in any way to this thing I heard once about a beam in someone’s eye?

coyotenose,
Well since you said it… I mean, what was I thinking? Yes now that I look back I see that you all were being very gracious to him/her. How very A+ of you. My bad.
I’m sure you were a pillar of strength. And making fun of a typo is certainly the same as making fun of someone’s attempt to communicate in a second language. Again, what was I thinking?
Oh noes! Some some variation of the tiresome “I used to be a Christian until I met so-called Christians like heddle.” Gee, do try to be a little original.
And, as a general rule of thumb, I don’t take advice on my Christianity from know-nothing commentators on an atheist blog.

@Alexander Sarras,
I apologize. I did not intend to offend you.

You didn’t.
Why do you think you did?
Well, never mind that question, It’s rhetorical, anyway. And it’s nap time for me, too.

Heddle, I think every atheist should apply your excellent attitude
“I don’t take advice on my Christianity from know-nothing commentators”
mutatis mutandis to you, know-nothing as you seem.

Excellent response to the WHARBLGARBL! Another excellent response, courtesy of HL Mencken, which you might want to use on the next WHARBLGARBL screed than manifests in your inbox:
“Dear sir or madam: You may be right.”

GOD IS GRATE
A helpful note for those interesting in worshiping the ironmongery used in fireplaces. This is, in some ways, to be preferred over a more metaphysical deity. Grates are demonstrably, manifestly, real. Their supernatural powers are still questionable, or undefined, but, unlike so many other deities, they are very real. The local hardware store will sell you one for thirty bucks.

heddle, have you never received a badly-written screed that, I dunno, claims to overturn relativity, or promotes a perpetual motion machine?

Doesn’t the “have a good time” kinda negate the rest of it?

“Ever since my mother got an iPhone with Siri the number of rambling, incoherent emails filled with homophones landing in my inbox has increased.”
I read that as “incoherent emails filled with homophobes”. :P

“And, as a general rule of thumb, I don’t take advice on my Christianity from know-nothing commentators on an atheist blog.”
And, as a general rule of thumb, commenters (a “commentator” is “a person who comments on events, esp. on television or radio” in the words of the dictionary) on an atheist blog will not agree with your views on Christianity, and will try to advise you on them. That’s kind of the point.

Heh. Your grateness is preformed by electrons.
I think it’s a compliment.
