I think Josef Stalin could tell them the answer, and it wouldn't be from humanism.
In the late 90s I got into a heated debate with Rikki Rocket, the drummer from the Rock band “Poison”. He is a Peta freak and was going off about how hunting etc is evil.
I simply asked him how he justified all the leather they wore in the band on stage putting such evil thoughts that wearing dead animals was OK into the minds of all the impressionable youth / fans.
Silence? Hey Rikki! Where’d ya go?
Guess he didn’t like being laughed at. ;)
The greenies are nothing but hype and agenda unhampered by fact. And unfortunately, uneffected as well.
excellent catch
The creed of atheism — the certitude that the ground-of-being is not enough like a person or mind to be related to personally — is to me very strange to the point of being indefensible. Agnosticism — being uncertain whether the ground-of-being is enough like a person or mind to relate to personally — is at least an intellectually respectable position. (To me, the very intelligibility of the world to our human reason, which is the basis for the science our contemporary atheists profess to revere, is proof of the likeness between the ground-of-being and the human person, traditionally referred to in the phrase “image and likeness” — not so strong a proof as alone to banish all doubt, but strong enough to destroy any certainty in the opposite view.)
Still, what is really sad about turn-of-the-21st-century atheism, is its debased moral imagination in which “myth” is equivalent to “falsehood”, in which the resonance of myth with our moral core is denied, or worse, absent. J.R.R. Tolkien was instrumental in converting C.S. Lewis to Christianity with the description of the Gospel: “It’s a myth and it’s true.” To our atheistic contemporaries, such a remark makes not sense, and that is, perhaps more tragic than their unbelief.
A Merry Christmas to all.
Christmas and Easter are the two biggest holy days for atheist cultists.
Merry Christmas
When Madelyn Murray O’Hare, the per-eminent atheist who had prayer removed from all schools said “Oh my G-d” when she heard the pope was shot way back then. Probably you won’t hear any of them crying to Buddha when they’re about to die either.
Other than praying for their souls; Christians shouldn’t spend a lot of time getting roiled about atheists and their pathetic attempts at subversion. The Word tells us not to be troubled by these harbingers of Christ’s return. These people are only trying to allay their deep down, gut-wrenching fear of a living God by denying His existance.
James 2:19 says that even the demons know and tremble. They and their human servants aren’t concerned about dead Muslims, pot-bellied mantle gods or any other such manmade idols. Yes, they know and believe. Like their leader Satan, the only victory they can hope for is to take more of us to oblivion with them, much like the suicidal spawn we are seeing so much of in today’s world.
The atheist creed: There is no god and I hate him.
Better to live your life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn’t, than to live your life as if there isn’t, and die to find out there isn’t.
I’ve heard this forever and it’s still valid.
These guys remind me. I need to head over to YouTube for my traditional playing of Thurl Ravenscroft’s landmark polemic about these guys.
Try that again...
Better to live your life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn’t, than to live your life as if there isn’t, and die to find out there *is*.
OOPs I mean “flash mob nativity scene”
The United States could never have been founded without Christianity. Nor atheists either, for some form of “belief” will always subsume non-belief. And with no other counter, non-belief would be crushed.
“More interestingly, I notice that Mr. Silverman is not attacking the faith and beliefs of his own family’s traditions. He is attacking Christians instead.”
Brilliant post. I’ve often thought the militant atheism practiced by folks like Mr. Silverman is really just a cover for a specifically anti-Christian bigotry.
This will have the same effect as pro-life folks displaying posters of dead babies: Drive more people from their cause than attract.
I'd pay to see how the bikers would react to that.
