Taking Second John too SRSLY

PZ Myers has an interesting account of locally owned print shops refusing service to an atheist to make an advertising poster for a convention (emphasis original):

Ironic note on the poster of Atheist Symbols for the Atheist Alliance International convention: I went to have it made today, at a local shop which specializes in posters, worked happily with the designer -- and then several hours later got a call to come back and pick my stuff up, no poster. They are Christians and cannot do it. Went to another place, same thing. It was simply a poster with symbols to vote on -- but it was for atheists. And they are Christians. One person helpfully explained that they turned down the KKK too. So sorry. But they're Christians.

Well, I'm an atheist, and I've done work for churches. I can understand not making a donation. But throwing someone out of the print shop? Comparing them with the Ku Klux Klan? Oh. Wait. They're Christians.

Let's hear it for Office Max. They were the only ones who would print it. And deal with an atheist.

Yeesh. I do not take kindly for being considered on the same footing as the Ku Klux Klan, which is a Christian white-supremacy organization.

Sounds like these shop owners and workers are taking the Second Epsitle of John too literally:

Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh; any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist! Be on your guard, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward. Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God; whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. Do not receive into the house or welcome anyone who comes to you and does not bring this teaching; for to welcome is to participate in the evil deeds of such a person.

Oh, blessed will be the day when people stop making assumptions that atheists are evil monsters that eat babies and rape dead people.
