Blasphemous Blogging: The Blog of Edwin Kagin

Blasphemy is the crime of making fun of ridiculous beliefs others hold sacred. This blog is about satire, truth, inquiry, and critical thinking. It is about enjoying life before death. It is about how some try to control many through their notions about a make believe supernatural world and imaginary rewards and punishments after death. This blog says that blasphemy is a good thing, a healthy thing, and a good antidote to harmful superstition. This blog is about freedom. Edwin.

NOTICE NOT TO USE RELIGIOUS TALK WITH HELEN KAGIN

To: Medical, Administrative, and Support Staff of Christ Hospital.
From: Edwin Kagin, husband of Helen Kagin.

Please consider this FORMAL NOTICE that Helen Kagin is an Atheist.

I am an Atheist and National Legal Director for American Atheists.

It has come to my attention that Helen has been subjected (or may be so subjected) to unrequested and unwanted gratuitous religious “god talk” by certain personnel of Christ Hospital.

It is my belief that Helen has been receiving the finest medical care available since her surgery on January 7, 2010, and for that we are extremely grateful.

However, the intrusion of anyone's religious beliefs into her treatment at Christ Hospital is offensive, unacceptable, and will not be tolerated, no matter how much those offending persons may think such behavior is necessary, proper, and well motivated.

Demand is hereby made that all such officious intermeddling stop immediately.

I will aggressively pursue all available lawful actions against the employment and licensing of anyone who violates this request.

Thank you again for the wonderful medical care being provided to Helen.

Edwin Kagin
Husband of Helen Kagin

National Legal Director
American Atheists, Inc.
