Atheists' National Holiday?

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


What profit would there be if I posted that atheists are totally blind to the pristine beauty and ordered complexity of creation, so they cannot see the hand of a Creator? As the Bible pointed out 2,000 years ago, "For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

What profit would there be if I posted the fact that atheists denigrate every religion and prayer that ever has been offered? To say God doesn't exist is to say every religious leader in every age was delusional at best. And it also is to say that not one prayer on any continent in any era of human history has been answered. That premise alone rules atheism preposterous and foolish.

Finally, what profit would there be if I posted that I agree with my friend Mike Huckabee, who said on his book tour via Fox News that atheists shouldn't be fighting for a holiday in December when they already have a holiday: April Fools' Day (a holiday also grounded in sacred Scripture, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no god'")?

We all know I would be labeled as an extremist, irrational and a bigot if I posted any of the preceding ideas. Yet atheists do and get away with First Amendment murder.

I'd like to remind our nation that it was only a short time ago when Ronald Reagan freely spoke for the majority by explicitly and passionately conveying belief in Jesus Christ during his presidential Christmas addresses. Compare the message in his Dec. 23, 1981, speech with that of the present day, when the very term "Christmas" is being erased from every corner of culture.

As long as different displays line the corridors of Washington state's Capitol like Christmas potpourri, let me posit this last idea as a final pre-Christmas posting. At the base of the bust of George Washington (which stands between the atheists' winter solstice sign and the Nativity scene in the Washington state Capitol), I suggest the posting of one more sign, which would contain the wisdom from George Washington's farewell address: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens."

(Note: In the spirit of Christmas, Chuck is giving away a free chapter of his current New York Times best-seller, "Black Belt Patriotism."

If by pointing out the typical bigotry demonstrated by your comrades is resulting to name calling then so be it, I'm guilty, along with any number of people on both sides of your black/white left/right line.

As for being a "lefty" it seems your simple minded religious profiling has prevailed. Lets see; I own guns, I defend the 2nd amendment and all the rest of your rights with my life as a profession, I believe abortion is wrong, and I consider Senator McCain and Ronald Reagan political heroes. Oh... but wait, I don't believe in god, santa, the easter bunny or the tooth fairy. I MUST be a raving liberal.

It's good to know that someone of your incredible intelligence knows all about a group you have likely never met a member of. Well I'm off to have crazy uninhibited, but protected, sex with anyone I can find (read sarcasm).

Oh yeah.. have you ever heard that saying about what happens when you ASSUME, well at least you didn’t make an a$$ out of me.

Let me give you a class about atheism, We don't believe there is a god, the end. Any other views that an individual might have they came across socially, personally, or just because that's how they feel. Besides, denying the existence of a god just to avoid his rules, that screams ignorance. Would someone deny the existence of police to avoid a speeding ticket, open your eyes, or better yet a book. Preferably one written by identifiable authors ie. not the bible.

Dear RepAt
A comment RE: "Your childish humor and religious bigotry..." Posted like a typical lefty: always resort to the ad hominem (that is, name calling) argument. Now something to chew on: everyone on the Right know that atheists are what they are for only ONE reason: they find the teachings of religion on sexual matter, well, a mite too hard to practice. In your hearts and minds there is nothing but the primordial intellectual clutter that every standard libertine has used since Time Immemorial to justify his or her activities.
