Matt Powell is the budding hate-preacher who has said the government should execute gay people because the Bible says so, and that women should stop dressing like whores, and that “99% of school shootings are done by atheists,” and that it’s a “historical fact” that dinosaurs were killed in the Civil War, that all atheists are “Coke-drinking video game addicts,” and that evolution requires a belief in surfing monkeys.

In other words, his life is dedicated to making Christianity look very, very stupid.

And he has a message for his atheist critics: He wants to thank the atheists for promoting him.
