Why aren't they spending money to help the needy, the homeless, those less fortunate?

It just goes to show that humanists and other liberal types are hypocrites.

Atheist evangelicals. Spreading their message. And they say it isn’t a religion.

I remember seeing a “Don’t wear fur” ad on a Metro bus many years ago. I turned to the guy next to me and said, “I don’t imagine many people who ride this bus wear fur coats.”

Exactly right. The majority of hospitals, universities, homeless shelters and community outreaches in this country were started by Christians for the express purpose of loving others as Jesus Christ called them to do.

“Just be good.” ....please tell me how you are going to define “good” from “bad” without a divinely inspired moral code? What a joke! These people are moral relativists to the core, believing that communities can decide what’s “good” and “bad”. Just don’t ask them about the Nazis or Stalinists deciding that holocausts taking millions of their opponents lives are good.

I’m waiting for the “Why believe in Allah?” advertisement...

As a Christian, I see no reason to believe in a god. I see every reason to believe in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Modern atheism, and alas many Christians, mistake Christianity for a form of one god paganism.

The transcendent ground of all being, the All-Holy Trinity, the Existing One, by whose will all things exist, who in the Person of the Son united our created nature to His pre-eternal Uncreated Nature, is not the sort of being that is called a god. As the Buddha correctly observed, the existence or non-existence of such beings is a complete irrelevancy to human life and spiritual progress.

A lot of folks, both Christian and non-Christian need to read a good dose of the Cappadocian Fathers, and maybe a bit of St. Dionysius the Areopagite for good measure.

They might as well run an ad that says “Do whatever you want since there’s no God.”

Instead what they’re saying is, ‘do what we think is right.’

What they are demonstrating is overt narcissist hostility towards those who believe differently. The root of this hostility is that humanists, in spite of all their pontification, are insecure in their faith that there is no God.

Wait??? 200 people complained and the ad is still there?????
It only takes one person to complain about a positive reference to God and it’ll be gone before it’s even up!

They believe that merely not killing, raping, or stealing is being good for goodness sakes.

The Democrats continue to get more and more brazen in their promotion of atheism.
