The Best Twitter Replies - April 27
We have been getting some great feedback on Twitter and knew most of you couldn't see it. Here are a few of our favorites.
Heavenshoax: Is it just me or does a stranger offering a kid candy seem strangely similar to Santa Claus offering kids presents to "join the faith?"
Twitter Responses to this Question:
Abbie2020 Another atheist follower, @HeavensHoax (is 'atheist follower' an oxymoron?)
Pink_Kahuna @HeavensHoax id love to see every religious person refuse medicine ....
GrahamJoy @HeavensHoax it's appalling how rational thinking combined with scientific fact just doesn't do it these folk and on such a large scale
LesChambers @HeavensHoax "The problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves." Bertrand Russell.
Kadath123 @HeavensHoax Fortunately just because a majority believes something it doesnt make it truth or fact, no matter how much they want it to.
Thanks for the feedback....

- Pink_Kahuna @HeavensHoax haha, never thought of it like that! Strangers have the best candy!
- whipcreamy @HeavensHoax Santa Claus believes in god?
- Heavenshoax: I don't know how to answer this...help please. RT @whipcreamy:
- @HeavensHoax Santa Claus believes in god?
- religionbites @HeavensHoax That is scary as hell. Ugh.
- GrahamJoy @HeavensHoax two fictitious characters believing in one another, what's wrong with that eh?
- asheernut @HeavensHoax Santa Claus believes in god? - Yep, the way Harry Potter believes in Dumbledore!
- mel0d @HeavensHoax I thought he taught the spirit of giving, generosity, good will. No involv w/god. That's why many churches frown on him.
