Blame America (and Jesus) for Jaycee Dugard Kidnapping

I couldn’t have written it better myself. From Newser:

If Phillip Garrido ranted about there being no God, if he passed out atheist tracts, instead of bizarre-o Jesus-saves stuff, he would likely have been carted off years ago.

Just Tired of the Bullshit
