A bunch of leftists celebrating themselves. What else is new?
I wonder if there’s any “prayer” in their meetings.
Maybe Baraq will become their commando supremo in 2017?
Narcissist are us!
Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly hate liberals any more than I already do.....
Just wait until they ask for a national holiday....
Bunch of losers.
I run a Virgin Brothel, but nobody’s coming.
They could use Jim Jones' Birthday, he set up the first "Atheist" Church.
Naturalism – the doctrine that there is nothing apart from the physical order, and certainly nothing supernatural – is an incorrigibly incoherent concept, and one that is ultimately indistinguishable from pure magical thinking. The very notion of nature as a closed system entirely sufficient to itself is plainly one that cannot be verified, deductively or empirically, from within the system of nature. It is a metaphysical (which is to say ‘extra-natural’) conclusion regarding the whole of reality, which neither reason nor experience legitimately warrants. It cannot even define itself within the boundaries of its own terms, because the total sufficiency of ‘natural’ explanations is not an identifiable natural phenomenon but only an arbitrary judgment.
- David Bentley Hart from The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss
Consciousness could not have evolved from “simpler” states of matter, because it is not a state of matter. To say that consciousness evolved from matter is like saying Newton’s theory of gravity evolved from apples.
-Barry Arrington
…atheism isn't exempt from analysis or critique of its real world consequences. Atheism is a metaphysical stance -- there are no gods and no God, there is no intrinsic purpose to existence, there is no natural moral law, there is no accountability in an afterlife. Those are quite explicit and consequential assertions, just as the negation of those assertions -- that there is a God, that there is a purpose to existence... -- is an explicit and consequential assertion. Atheism lacks liturgy. It does not lack beliefs and consequences. It lacks belief in God; it does not lack belief in the intrinsic consequences of God's non-existence. As Nietzsche emphatically noted, if God is dead, everything changes....atheism is to sin as alcoholism is to angst. Stupor-- metaphysical or medicinal-- is a denial of reality and a denial of consequences, which feels good for an evening or a weekend.

Jones says attendees can expect future Nashville gatherings to be what he referred to as "jam sessions with a purpose" where they will listen to mainstream pop songs being performed by a band.
I listen to mainstream pop songs broadcast over the PA system when I go to Target for the purpose of buying a box of diapers. I don't call it "church," though.
Sorry we just dont think the band and the songs exist. 'Dont be a foolish idiot' they may say. Case in point!
I can only conclude these are truly a conceited bunch. How pointless.
True. JimJones was also a commie
There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life’
Love how their hedging their bet on that one....there’s probably no God.
Thought athiests denied the existence of God?
These folks don’t even know what they believe...or not believe.
Yeah, let’s see them open one of these up in Tehran or Riyhad.
