I agree, I was just quoting them- we are going to have to prepare to re-iterate that because there are going to be people who did what the “Rational Response team” challenged them to do, who will later be driven mad because of what they think they have done!

You almost have to believe in evolution to be an atheist, and everybody who’s been following the discussion over the last few decades knows by now that evolution is a bunch of bullshit. The biggest group of people proportionally who don’t believe in evolution is probably mathematicians and not Christians; the doctrine is not compatible with modern mathematics and probability theory.

Sorry PastorBill, I realise now that I sounded cross in my reply. I was annoyed with the “Brights”, not with you.

..authors and thinkers who call themselves “the Brights”...

A humble bunch of jerks, aren't they?

Most atheists I've met were narcissists.

I’m sure that prenatal infanticide (abortion), euthanasia, sexual perversion, and pornography are perfectly moral to these atheistic mavens of morality.

Every generation going back to the start of the 17th century has had it’s “Brights” who believed that they alone understood reality, and that the rest of humanity were benighted superstitious idiots.

That pretty much describes most religions too. One person's religion is another person's superstition.

Whether these self-acclaimed “brights” are wittingly or unwittingly satanic, they are satanic nonetheless.

There is an opposite (and positive) side to the new atheism and that is its potential adherents have to exercise a significant degree of introspection and critical thinking to accept fundamental arguments of the movement. That in itself will lead to much rejection and commitment to the alternative of belief. Even Hitchens recognizes there is another argument of some merit and in doing so, sounds sometimes more agnostic than atheist. The real problem is not so much the aggressiveness of the new atheism, but the lukewarm resolve of the millions who call themselves Christians.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Until Kingdom Come, there always have been, and always will be, threats to Christian faith. If atheists weren’t threatened by Christianity, we’d have to be doing something wrong.

Every knee will bow ... eventually.

It is quite compatible. It is mainly incompatible to those who do not understand probability. But the largest group of people who accept natural selection are probably Christians, since most don't have a problem with it.

Yes, it is the education of our young. Atheists like Lenin knew you had to destroy family so you can convince young women to hand over their young to daycares....all to mold the thinking of the children—get them away from the parent’s ideology.

Mothers need to understand the supreme importance of the formative years. The first seven years should never be handed over to strangers and godless people. Never! The Founders of the past—true geniuses—had a solid foundation in their home for their first seven years and NO formal “education” which is nothing more than indoctrination in public schools and to learn social conformity and collective thinking. For emotional stability young children need to NOT be separated from the people that love them in their first seven years.

Matt 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

I appreciate your observation. At the time of the writing of the New Testament, the Christians of the time were plagued with gnostics of various sects. John's warning: don't even invite them into your house or you share their error.

" If the Republican Party one day embraces feminazi ideals "

It is happening regardless whether or not if the Republican Party embraces Feminism.
The Feminazis have already declared that they are going to go out into all of our traditional institutions and " infiltrate "" to subvert " to take over those institutions.
They have already planned to go into our conservative churches, the Republican party, conservative colloges and scheme and plan to infiltrate to subvert them and take over them..
