The most hated woman

A few weeks ago, I stumbled on a documentary on Madalyn O'Hair, the famous atheist that took prayer out of America's classroom and dubbed as the most hated woman in America. It was a fascinating story of her life, but also a very sad one seeing someone with such hatred towards God and so little peace and happiness in her life time.

I was actually surprised to find that there are atheist rallies and conferences around the country. And was doubly surprised to find so many atheist and humanist sites during my brief search for this video.

Back to the story, it was ironic how one of her sons, who was brought up and nurtured to renounce God and embrace atheism would later turn his back to become a born again Christian and the head of a Christian organisation. I couldn't help but think that God really does have his humor. The very thing that Madalyn took out from the schools, her son is campaigning hard to put back in.
