As Twitchy reported, “Saturday Night Live” alumnus Norm Macdonald deleted a series of tweets on religion and faith after atheists piled on, informing him that “religion is the worst thing to ever happen to this planet.” We were disappointed to see the tweets disappear in a flood of intolerance, and now Macdonald has said he’ll stick to “jokes and golf.” Macdonald is a comedian, and we hope he’s just kidding about censoring himself to appease the tolerance bullies.

Macdonald did retweet this message of support, but clarified that he’s a believer in scripture “sometimes.” If this is his attempt to stick to jokes and golf, he’s failing already, and we’re glad about that.
@normmacdonald If you believe in the scripture you have a right to say so! God Bless U!!!

Fans and supporters were quick to point out that an apology was far from necessary.

Liberals go Islamic jihad/Alinksy on Norm MacDonald for saying he reads the bible. Must be fought aggressively. http://t.co/oaEwIu6WRH

@normmacdonald I understand your desire to avoid offense. I would, however, suggest the "offended" here are a bit absurd.

@normmacdonald You've made a hundred jokes about COCK (which I giggled at) and no one's offended. You say you study Scripture and…

@normmacdonald …the Ranks of the Offended suddenly swell. Whatever. I don't mind you COCK stuff and I don't mind Scripture.

@normmacdonald It is a strange "Tolerance" that demands that everyone must think, speak, and act in precisely the same way.

@normmacdonald if you want to apologize, apologize to that guy whose wife you dorked in the squeakhole while he was mowing the grass.

Now that’s comedy.

@normmacdonald Just be Norm, Norm. True fans love and respect you.

This wrap-up tweet explains … very little. In any case, we’ll be rooting for Macdonald to break his “jokes and golf” rule.
