The atheists I grew up with in Texas were a tad bit pluckier than today’s lardy hagfish atheists who file lawsuits every winter when they see a child wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Yep, the anti-theists I used to hang out with in the Lone Star state were rugged individualists who were so busy milking this existence that they didn’t have time to bleat like a stuck sheep because a plastic baby Jesus statue endangered their delicate beliefs.
My other non-believing buddies who weren’t the robust Hemingway types were usually heady stoners who were into physics, Pink Floyd and Frisbee and were completely comfortable around people of faith versus today’s reflexively irate, touchy atheists who pop a blood vein in their forehead if they accidentally hear “Silent Night” playing at Macy’s.
For God’s sake atheists, übermensch up why don’t you?
The latest hissy fit thrown by the anti-theist this Christmas is over Charlie Brown. Yep, according to Fox News “Charlie Brown is in the middle of a contentious religious fight. A group of parents are fighting an Arkansas elementary school over a field trip to see a stage production of ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ at a church. Fox News religion contributor Father Jonathan Morris weighed in on the controversy today on Fox and Friends. Father Morris asked, “Who would be afraid of their children going to watch a classic Charlie Brown story like this?” He said, “The fact that we have the right to free speech for all means that there’s going to be also an opportunity and a probability that there will also be people who will do stupid, ignorant and totally out of line things like protesting the fact that Charlie Brown is going to be presented, and his Christmas story presented to kids.”
According to the 21st century metrosexual atheist motif, anything that offends the pouty atheist should now be banned. That makes me scratch my head because I thought the atheists were the tough-minded ones who could stare death in the face and mock God and His dictates, but now a silicone statue of Yeshua in diapers puts them in a tailspin. Hello, sweetie.
FYI to the spindly atheists: You’ve got your work cut out for you if you want to scrub culture of its Christian influence because we have rubber stamped this planet via the arts and human expression for many, many moons. Have you ever heard of Bach, van Eyck, Vermeer, Handel, Mendelssohn, Haydn and a writer named Billy Shakespeare? What about the artists of the early Italian Renaissance or the tens of thousands of other artists, writers and composers throughout history who were either die-hard believers or at least worked within the framework of a Christian worldview? Are you going to take a belt sander to their works because they remind you of Hey-Soos?
You know who did atheism right? The late Christopher Hitchens. He didn’t whine or sue schools for singing “Oh, Come All Ye Faithful.” What did he do? He vigorously argued his point of view, engaged the brethren without being a shrill priss and left it to the audience to decide what path they were going to take, and I dig that kind of robust character. That said, as you can tell, I have no respect for atheists who want to ban Christian symbolism because they don’t happen to buy it.
Merry Christmas.
I have it on DVD. That way, I never miss it.
“its not God they even really fear, *if* theyre truly atheists...its US and our resistance to their power plans that keep em up at night [and sunday] plottin and plannin...”
True. They are fanatical and never give up on their agenda even if they have to postpone it for a while. Like gun control. They concluded it wasnt helping them win elections so they tabled it. Now it has re-appeared.
They HATE anyone who opposes them, and I dont mean that figuratively. I dont think it is an exaggeration to say that given an opportunity they would put us into concentration camps or worse. Why do you think that every leftist revolution results in mass executions.

Every real-world historical ‘socialist’ regime becomes, in the end, a death cult. It’s all they have.
As my tagline avers, mass murder and cannibalism are the twin sacraments of socialism; as the great dictator V.I.Lenin wrote, it’s just a question of who kills and eats whom.
“Whiny Atheists Protest...”
They’re not whiny. They are hardcore revolutionaries intent on removing any references, what-so-ever, to
G-d.
IMHO
They also don’t believe that compromise is a two way street.
Like I said it’s been ages since I watched it and the first time I did was in 1966. I used to watch it every year when my children were still small
Like I said it’s been ages since I watched it and the first time I did was in 1966. I used to watch it every year when my children were still small, but I don’t watch the ABC channels anymore and haven’t since 1998 or 99
When my 14 year old son was a baby still in his crib, we would put him to bed every night with the sound track to Peanuts/Charlie Brown Christmas. I must have heard that music 500 times. I am not kidding.
It has been my experience that people who claim to be atheists are actually God-haters and they do not want anyone who loves God to express their beliefs.
“..they hate us, and we are mortal enemies to them...so fair enuff, i simply return the favor and treat them as an enemy as well...”
I feel the same, buddy. F*** ‘em. Worthless, psychotic morons with no lives who have nothing better to do than try to wreck anything good or enjoyable for other people.
“...and it was made in the Jonny Quest days, ...”
Doug Wildey was the artist that created Jonny Quest - I believe he died around 2004, unfortunately. I have all of the original episodes on DVD. They are still some of the best action cartoons for little boys ever made - which, of course, is why the left hates them. They shoot guns, they made no bones about who the bad guys were (Russian and Chicom villains, usually), and they had adventures all over the world.
“Charlie Brown Christmas” does indeed bring back good memories, for me as well.
I think it was CBS that used to play Charlie Brown and the Grinch back-to-back, and the moment you saw the commercials for those two shows, you just KNEW it was “officially” the Christmas season, and the Sears “Wish Book” catalog would be in the mail any day.
1964 was the year both Charlie Brown and Jonny Quest first aired. I was 4 and I remember those shows vividly.
A better time for the country, back then...much better than what we have now.
Not atheists. Anti-theists. I loved that show when I was an atheist.
It is the only time he is not holding the blanket throughtout the whole show.
Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything last night when I heard that, or ABC would have owed me a new keyboard at the least. Mr. Schulz was prescient in his Sally and Lucy characters.
Watching shows like this makes me sad to think how we've screwed up the legacy that "the greatest generation" left us.
“A better time for the country, back then...much better than what we have now.”
If you ask people over 50 about whether American society is better or worse than when they were growing up nearly all say its worse. I try to explain that to my 20 something kids but they dont understand the extent of how degraded society has become. They grew up in this sewer so they think its normal.
May a muslim barber cut off their whiny heads. I’ll bet most of them were bed wetters as children (or still are).
yep, anymore its become a relltale to simply see the deadpan *sharks eyes* in all these people...
many would enjoy the chance to man the firing line...
at a certain point, we will too...
that said, Linus' monologue is worth the time in the toon...and I enjoy posting it and sharing it when it comes around, just to make em squirm... 8^}
bullies always keep pushing, at least til the pushback...
“...They grew up in this sewer so they think its normal...”
And when the sewer is the new normal, it’s up to us to send it back to the sewer.
We get what we’re willing to tolerate, like Jefferson said in the Declaration :”all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
It’s up to us, our generation, here and now, not to tolerate it anymore.
We DO have a choice, my friend.
“...bullies always keep pushing, at least til the pushback...”
To paraphrase the Hulk “You won’t like us when we’re angry”....
