STANDING FOR THE TRUTH Part I

      

It’s amazing to me the many atheists that are too ignorant to realize just how ignorant they really are. It’s also hard to be nice to them since most of them are the nastiest people on the face of the earth. Furthermore, they enjoy showing off their ignorance in LTE. A Christianity illiterate female atheist from Conway wrote in ADG, on May 27, that a Christian writer from El Dorado, makes her blood boil because he wrote a letter of warning about Obama not being a Christian, and wanting America to turn back to God again. The atheist writer, who apparently can’t comprehend what she reads, if she reads, is full of misinformation and intolerance. Liberals are so sure only they are tolerant. She wrote that, “We have freedom “from” religion in America. And she said, “Religion is a choice.”

Congress cannot force a religion on the population, but neither can it interfere in religion. Any philosophy is inherently religious, so that makes atheism a religion, though Godless, and its not valid. (it’s also a “choice.”) The fallacy of atheism is the fact that when people don’t believe in God, instead of worshipping nothing, they find something else to worship. Man has a spiritual desire for God and if they are atheists, they will fill those desires with false gods. For any atheist to know for sure there is no God, they would have to be God and have infinite knowledge. It is impossible to be both. She claims she wants to be free from any type of religion. But she isn’t. (I wonder what kind of “if it feels good, do it” lifestyle she’s living that she doesn’t want God to know about.)

The First Amendment says, Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion: or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.Can anyone find in those words that we have freedom FROM religion? Notice also that there is no separation of church and state either. (That is unless it’s written in invisible ink.) Also, notice it protects the freedom of exercise of religion, which includes freedom of expression (free speech), from government interference. The Supreme Court has applied it to the entire federal government, even though it is expressed only as applicable to Congress, which is supposed to make the laws. This is not the liberal judge’s prerogative. But atheists want to force their religion down our throats by using the courts to take away our first amendment rights and destroy all belief in God. They try to explain everything without God by the teaching of Darwin‘s evolution, and even though they have never proved evolution, nor can they prove it, neither can they, or have they proven that God does not exist. The atheist would have to be everywhere, in space, looking on every star and planet, as well as here on earth, all at the same time, to know for sure there is no God. Otherwise, they would miss him. Atheism is a universal negative.

Then she made my blood boil by saying “so-called Christians” should not be imposing their beliefs on “those of us who (please note the next word) CHOOSE not to believe.” Her next ignorant statement was that the Christian letter writers “ignorant remarks” prove religion is the root of all evil. In her absolute and total stupidity, she has gone too far. In the first place she did not say just who or how the “so-called Christians” are forcing their beliefs on her. Are they holding her down and trying to pour it through one of the holes in her head? Are they water boarding her? Or are they threatening to stone her, or behead her? There is only one religion that intends to force itself on the world. And it isn’t Christianity or anything like it. The expression of religious beliefs is not “forcing” one's religion on anyone else. (See First Amendment above.) But she is trying to force her religion down our throats by expressing her beliefs to the rest of us, by saying that prayer does not belong in schools, and shouldn’t be forced on anyone, because it will not keep crime out of schools, nor make a student any better. (But that’s why we have kids taking guns to school and shooting their fellow students and teachers). That‘s also a mind numbing stupid statement, since in Christianity, no one is forcing anyone to pray. But it’s important to atheists to show off their ignorance by what they believe is their “superior intelligence.”
