Atheist Teen In Rhode Island Receives Death Threats

And here are but a few of those frightening, decidedly un-Christian threats. 16-year-old Jessica Ahlquist successfully sued to have a prayer removed from her high school cafeteria, making her the target of online attacks and death threats which are being investigated by authorities. She now needs a police escort just to go to school.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

  • This is so sad. I think it was a bad move to sue the school, but it was an even worse move for all those kids to say what they did. I doubt that any of those children are truly saved. What Jessica needs is support around her, not for her actions, but for her emotions. A true Christian would talk to her,comfort her, and tell her about God. You are supposed to walk the faith. If anything, this event turned her more away from God. It hurts to see such evilness. I remember 16 being a hard age, but it should never be this hard. I hope all those children learn from their mistakes and never use such hurtful words again.

  • So many idiotic religious people out there. I mean that sincerely. Read a book besides the bible. Can't wait for the age where Christianity is seen as it should be… one of many astrological allegories. Take away prayer over food and it's…. rawr, kill, kill, kill, hate, hate, hate. +1 Atheists!

  • I say fair play to her, stick it to these “Christians” they are so easy to piss off. Anyways, a bit strong on religiously provoked violence, remind you of anyone? Don't make you that different to Muslim extremists cutting heads over a cartoon eh?

  • This is what always confuses me about religion. It's supposed to teach others to be respectful, understanding, accepting and above all else loving. Yet it seems to have the complete opposite effect. This alone shows what a horrible role religion plays in society with such extremists like these.  Stay strong Jessica. We're on your side!

  • She just wanted a prayer taken down and apparently the state courts agreed, she didn't want to physically hurt or kill someone. It's crazy that these so-called Christians don't realize the difference and want her harmed just because she isn't christian. Real Christians should be tolerant, kind and understanding. Where the hell are they? And, where are the atheists in R.I. standing up for Jessica? She needs to know she isn't alone.
    Jessica, stay strong!!

  • Bet the same people who bitched about it would have their panties in a twist if there was Muslim or other religious prayers forced into schools. … because you know their god is the best & only god apparently

  • So many people want to be remembered as bullies. It's amazing that they don't realize that these will be snapshots of their cruelty, floating out there to be Googled for the rest of their days. On a “that explains it” note, a new study demonstrates that people with low IQs as kids tend to hold on to their prejudices as adults.  http://www.mediaite.com/online/study-suggests-low-iq-social-conservatism-and-prejudice-go-hand-in-hand/
