They are ambitious. They have a lot of professional, intelligent personages in their entourage. And they have some influence throughout this grand country—here and there and everywhere.

Besides, there are some very very polite people in their number. In addition, some of them serve on community boards for one commendable purpose or another.

Furthermore, I am a person without prejudice. I have prided myself—justly so—on taking to all kinds of human beings, not looking down on any of them. In that, I have come upon some of the most fascinating people.

So I signed on the dotted line.

Besides, that gets me into the November 2 March on Washington. I have wanted to go back to my old haunts for some time now. You see, I grew up in Maryland and worked for a time in the USDA South Building down near the Potomac. So to traipse those streets once again would surely do my nostalgia a world of good.

You can look for me at the front of the line. I’ll probably be marching alongside a large fellow carrying a GODLESS AMERICANS MARCH ON WASHINGTON sign.

I’ll be hobnobbing with President Ellen Johnson and National Spokesman Ron Barrier, both of whom I have never met but would like to meet. And, if it’s a pleasant autumn day, I will get out into those pleasant breezes ‘neath the Capitol’s impressive dome.

This will be the first demonstration of its kind; so I will be one of those pioneers. It should be quite the community of like-minded folk—Atheists, Freethinkers, Secular Humanists and others who profess no religious faith.

"We want our civil rights, we want to be free from religious harassment in our schools and public institutions, and we want the government to stop using our tax money to support organized religion," Johnson stated to the media.

Other goals of the organization include taking away religious symbols and monuments from all public edifices. Also, the marchers will make it clear that its time to exit all government chaplains so as to put to death any "special rights" for religious groups.

I will be welcomed, I am sure, by over one hundred national, regional and local groups’ reps. I will also have the chance to hear speakers on the Mall west of the Capitol. It should be grand.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not an atheist. I just joined up and signed on the dotted line. That’s all. In fact, I don’t believe that there is no deity. I just like some of the organization’s programs. After all, I’ve earned a few of their coveted badges and dress in their prestigious uniform. I recite some of their high-sounding mission statements. Of course, I can’t recite all of them for the very first sentence of the primary statement makes it clear that those who join are not theists.

But I am a theist. However, tough luck.

And if the American Atheists don’t like it, I’ll just call my lawyer—and the media—and tell ‘em all where they can go. They shouldn’t mind that for they don’t believe in going there anyhow. So, tough.

If I get any flack from anybody within AA, I know one fellow I can count on to go to bat for me and that’s Darrell Lambert. I’ll just put through a collect call to Port Orchard, Washington. After all, he joined the Boy Scouts who believe in deity. Of course, he’s an atheist. (Obviously, somebody shoved under his nose the wrong set of papers to sign; instead of AA, they slipped him the BS plus an Eagle Scout badge to boot).

Anyhow, he knows how to do it, that is, getting hold of big time attorneys, news reporters and all that. So. . .American Atheists. . . you’d better not pick on me. Do ya hear me?! I said, You’d better not pick on me just because I disagree with your basic postulate of planetary existence. No sirreebob.

Watch it, buddy. Just remember: I've got Big D on my side!

But if you're downright dumb enough to be so looney as to push 'gainst the two of us, I’ll be forced to call down the wrath of God on your heads. And you wouldn’t want that on your March to Washington, now would ya?
