As a non-believer, if I were the parent of one of those murdered children, I don’t think that I would begrudge any believer any comfort that he could find in the face of such a terrible tragedy. It is true that believers and unbelievers alike were effected by the tragedy, but no one was effected to the degree that the parents were and their feelings were paramount. Unless Obama knew that their were atheists among those parents, then I couldn’t give a shit how PZ Meyers thinks he would have felt had he been one of them. Calling it a “slap in the face” strikes me as the same kind of dumbassery as Christians who take offense at “Happy holidays.”
