Hi Normal Bob,

       I do not know if you have explained this on your website, but I think I finally figured out why you call yourself "Normal". You do not believe in Smurfs, correct? Does that make you an "asmurfist"? No, it makes you normal. You do not believe in Santa either. Does that make you an "asantist"? No, it makes you normal. I think atheists are just normal rational people. Thanks Bob, I am seeing the light. Have a great day.

Subject: It's reassuring to read your fan mail

Your site's definately a good thing...but I think you should emphasize what all religion stems from initially.. fear.
I've been reading a lot of hatemail since I found your site last year, and I've read all of the examples and comparisons (clay head etc) but I think that it's not getting through to people as much because you havent put out the fact that we don't know why were here, what's going to happen to us. It's all just fear. Were afraid. That's why people resort to religions/cults especially after deaths of someone close to them. They bug the fuck out! And they obsess, the simple apes they are... Hopefully with the internet forcing some of us to be more cultured thus openminded, we'll open our fucking eyes.

I remember being in history in I think 5th grade, and my teacher was talking about how people didn't understand weather and soil, so when the corn crops didn't grow how they'd want, or when they expected them to, they'd say the god of corn wished it to be that way.

Same goes for whatever else, there were also gods for other mysterious things they didn't have enough control over. And I remember bringing it up in lunch that, maybe we don't understand why were hear so we just say theres a god and a place and all that jazz. I got awkward looks from my 12 year old friends. Now I'm 17 and thinking back I don't think I ever believed there was a god. And I, like everyone should, went through being manic depressive. So now I feel like I can take in every amount of beauty the real world I'm living in has to offer, instead of fantasies of assurance. I'm agnostic, and happy. It's possible, and I think that's what people need to understand.

I just found a nicely summed up definition of religion from urban dictionary.

"Religion"
The biggest lie in human history. It has been responsible for more deaths throughout human history than all other unnatural causes combined. For a thousand years the Church was a tyrannical dictatorship that used religion to control the uneducated masses. Free your minds and come into the 21st century
"Religion is the child of Ignorance and Fear"

Subject: your website is officially "tasteless"!

hey, bob.  I was just trying to acess your site here at school, and guess what?  access denied.  On what grounds, you may ask?  Whatever web-babysitter we have here defines your site as "tasteless" and therefore disallowed my access therein.  I was disappointed, i must say, as i like your work (a lot), but i was also surprised: i could still access all kinds of information about mel's "passion of the christ".  Strange, meh? heheheheheh.  truly a sad day is today.  i look forward to seeing the "bob smith, u.s.a." movie.
 
if i ever find my way back to new york i will hunt you down and tickle the shit out of you.  but i'll leave the clean up to you. tee hee hee. 
 
yours, jaems workman
