LAKELAND, Fla. – A group of atheists in Florida spent part of their weekend washing away a blessing placed upon a local highway by a religious group.

Armed with brooms, mops and "unholy water," the atheists gathered Saturday to symbolically clean up holy oil that Polk Under Prayer put down on Highway 98 near the Pasco-Polk county line last year, Bay News 9 reported.

"We come in peace," Humanists of Florida director Mark Palmer announced before he and members of other atheist organizations launched their cleanup.

Do they also sell UNWELCOME mats at their fundraisers?

Question? Despite calling themselves athiests, by engaging in an “unblessing” of a Blessing, does this not transform them into anti-believers in Christ, and thus, by extension, Satanists?

A friend of mine stated it thusly, “To ‘unbless’ the highway with ‘unholy water’ is to acknowledge the existence of The Holy, enough to attempt to countermand that existence. Therefore, the act of ‘unblessing’ the highway is an act of anti-christian belief.

There was a song by a Jewish group about a group of atheists in an airplane on their way to a convention. In midflight the airplane encounters difficulties, where the passengers are warned of a possible crash.

Sure enough, the atheists start to pray. Really hard.

I think the song ended where the plane lands safely and the convention is cancelled.

Reminds me of the adage, “There is no atheist in a foxhole.”

“not foolish self-righteous academics” Don’t give them undue credit. They are idiots, seeking attention...that is all that they are. They got their 15 minutes, let them go away now.
