According to Associated Press writers Cheryl Wittenauer, Jim Suhr and Jim Salter, the LA Times' Nicholas Riccardi, ABC News, MSNBC and numerous other news outlets (including others here in Australia that pretty much cover overseas news word for word) Shawn Hornbeck may now be an ATHEIST.

That's right after while being held captive for four years, before his subsequent salvation last week, Shawn Hornbeck of Kirkwood, Mo. had posted on several social networking websites. The most alarming profile found was on mindviz.com which listed Shawn as an atheist. While references to other website profiles can be found throughout the numerous articles on Shawn's disappearance/return, there is only one that is consistent, Shawn's, perhaps coerced, conversion to disbelief by his unholy captor. In fact while it seems that Shawn posting on his own parents website asking "how long" they will keep looking for their son is occasionally of no concern to reporters, his ungodliness is universally disturbing.

This of course is no surprise for three reasons,
News outlets worldwide will of course carry word for word almost any article by the AP to cut down on costs at risk of losing all integrity;
American christians (like all good Christians) in the words of Martin Luther  "...should tear the eyes out of reason" and therefore fear anyone who seeks it;
And its no wonder at all the Shawn Hornbeck/Devlin became an atheist after being pronounced dead by two psychics. After the obvious sham of one supernatural act he merely took it one step further.

In short, good reporting has lead to the outing of another atheist, don't forget to keep with you the words of the reformist Martin Luther. "Reason should be destroyed in all Christians".
