This is Pastor Mike Stahl of The Living Water Church in Miramar, Florida.  Pastor Stahl would like to form a grassroots  organization named The Christian National Registry of Atheists or something similar. 

According to Pastor Stahl, "I mean, think about it.  There are registrys for convicted sex offenders, ex-convicts, terrorist cells, hate groups like the KKK, skinheads, radical Islamists, ect." 

Pastor Stahl goes on to say, "This type of national registry would be merely for information purposes.  To inform the public of KNOWN atheists.  Perhaps we may actually know some.  In which case we would begin to witness to them and warn them of the dangers of atheism.  Or perhaps they are radical atheists, whose hearts are as hard as Pharaoh's, in that case, if they are business owners, we would encourage all our Christian friends, as well as the various churches and their congregations NOT to patronize them as we would be "feeding" satan."

Pastor Stahl concludes by saying, "frankly, I don't see why anyone would oppose this idea - including the atheists themselves (unless of course, they're actually ashamed of their atheism, and would prefer to stay in the closet.)"

If you go to Pastor Stahl's blog at http://pastormikeschurch.blogspot.com, you will find that Pastor Stahl has received quite a bit of response, including sadly, death threats. Pastor Mike now states that he was just joking about the list. Maybe the death threats were from the KKK for being bunched in with atheists. LOL.
