Atheist Group Calls Bible ‘Hate-Filled Book,’ Says God Worse Than ‘White Supremacist Thugs’
Daily Caller ^ | 8/22/17 | Joshua Gill

Posted on 08/23/2017 6:35:58 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

An national atheist organization wrote that the Christian Bible “encourages violence and racism” in an Monday letter intended to bully Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin.

“It should be no surprise that this hate-filled book has spawned hateful ideologies and groups to perpetuate those ideologies,” the letter read. “The Ku Klux Klan is and has always been, a Christian group. Klansmen began burning crosses ‘to spread the light of Jesus into the countryside.’ Hitler was a Roman Catholic and his soldiers wore a religious slogan on their buckle belts (Gott mit uns [God with us]).”

The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent the letter to Bevin and berated him for suggesting during an Aug. 15 radio show that proper teaching of Biblical virtues in schools would reduce instances of white supremacist violence. The organization claimed that religious education, and religion in general, would lead to “increased levels of all manner of societal ills, including: violent crime and homicide, poverty, obesity, teen pregnancy, and infant mortality.”

“When you go back a couple of hundred years, in most instances the only textbooks that were in our public schools were the Bible,” Bevin told 89.3 WFPL during the interview. “And it’s interesting, the more we’ve removed any sense of spiritual obligation or moral higher authority or absolute right and wrong, the more we’ve removed things that are biblically taught from society, the more we’ve seen the kind of mayhem that we were just discussing.”

So atheists cut God out of their lives and let the hate of Satin into their hearts. Real bright! It is like pouring mud into their gas tank.

The organization claimed that religious education, and religion in general, would lead to “increased levels of all manner of societal ills, including: violent crime and homicide, poverty, obesity, teen pregnancy, and infant mortality.”

That is EXACTLY what Adolf Hitler believed, I just watched it on the History channel and commented on it here::

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3579048/posts

I am a little confused and was hoping someone here could help. My Wife recoeded a couple Episodes on Hitler from the

History channel and we watched it last night. What I came away with is this.

1. The National Socialist Workers Party led by Hitler, hated Christianity and believed that it was the true source of all

mankinds ill’s and problems.

2. The National Socialist Workers Party led by Hitler, held a firm belief in the idea that purging society of the

undesirables was a necessary and proper for an orderly society.

3. The National Socialist Workers Party led by Hitler, firmly believed they had the moral right to hold others that they

considered undesirabloe in Slavery.

4. The National Socialist Workers Party led by Hitler, did not believe anyone had a right to a different opinion on any of

these social matters and they were to be banished from societyand their thoughts and voices were to be silenced at all

cost.

As I pondered the documentaries we just watched I realized that all four points I just raised are and always have been the

Democrat Party.

1. The Democrat Socialist Workers Party, has had a War on Religion and specifically Christianity since before I was born

in 1960.

2. The Democrat Socialist Workers Party, has no respect whatsoever for Human life and have been pushing Abortion to purge

society of the undesirables since before I was born in 1960.

3. The Democrat Socialist Workers Party, Is was and always will be the Confederate Slave holders that fought keep slaves

until their dying breath, and did everything in their power to keep the undesirables from having any say in society and

needed to be segregated.

4. The Democrat Socialist Workers Party, and their faithful minions all across the education establishment have been

trying to silence difference of opinion since before I was born in 1960.

Now I can fully understand why the The Democrat Socialist Workers Party, is so hellbent on tearing down and removing all

reminders of history of all these proud Confederate Democrat Socialist Workers Party Heroes, but WHY IN THE HELL IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HELPING THEM????

Well then, they’ll actually get to try and straighten Him out.

Of course they don’t really believe that, so.....

Would they direct the same, or even similar, criticism at the Koran?

Apparently they do not wan to risk being the subject of a fatwah. And who wants that aggravation?

That could get a guy killed.

I’m sure this will next translate to a study on the Koran and the religion of peace. Can anyone say ‘fatwa’?

God is white? Who knew? If the atheist had a few more brain cells the doofus would known that the God of the Bible is the God of the ancient Israelites, who were a Semitic people — not white. As was Jesus himself. Duh.

Heh - the facts aren’t on their side. The governor is right. Even the atheists know this intrinsically as they’ve set up their own “churches” where people can get together on Sunday’s (of all days) to congregate and discuss their lives, purposes and directions.

But in their need to hate they close their hearts to the truth.
