As a left leaning, European, atheist who frequently reads The Guardian you will not be surprised to discover that I find your message nothing more than a purile rant. The values that many of us share on this continent are very different from yours. We are shocked at teenagers shooting up schools, we are horrified (or amused) by ill-educated religionists denying Darwin and insisting on every word of biblical evidence (it wasn’t written in English, you know) and disgusted by your enthusiasm for judicial murder.
The BBC has a deserved reputation throughout the World for its lack of bias - unfortunately, from extreme political positions such as yours, neutrality and free thinking looks suspicious. Let us hope that your god, if he exists, protects the rest of us from your bigotry.
