Madalyn Murray O'Hair (1919 - 1995) was an American atheist famous for her stern opposition to religion. In addition, she was the founder of the organization American Atheists. In 1960, she filed and won a lawsuit (Murray v. Curlett) against the Baltimore City Public School System, claiming that it was unconstitutional for her son to study the Bible at school. The lawsuit reached the Supreme Court, and banned prayer and recitations of Bible verses in American public schools.[1] She also founded the controversial atheist organization American Atheists.
She, her son and granddaughter suddenly disappeared; The evidence that has been disclosed does not point to a single conclusion. One would think that the disappearance of a well-known family such as the Murray-O'Hairs would be front page news but the papers have been strangely silent. Where is the Murray-O'Hair family? Are they dead or alive? Why has there apparently been no investigation? [2]
"There is no God. There's no heaven. There's no hell. There are no angels. When you die, you go in the ground, the worms eat you." Madalyn Murray O'Hair. [3]
In 2001, her son, her granddaughter and Madalyn's dismembered bodies had been located on a ranch in Austin, Texas. David R Waters, a fellow atheist associate had been charged with the crime. [4]
Debate with Dr. Walter Martin
Madalyn Murray O'Hair did particularly badly in her debate with Dr. Walter Martin.[5] For example, when she claimed there were supposedly were contradictions in the Bible, Dr. Martin asked her to provide an example of one and Ms. O'Hair did not and could not offer even an alleged example of one.[6] In addition, Ms. O'Hair did a poor job defending against the issue of atheism and mass murder.[7]
