There’s something desperate about the way atheists behave, as if they’re trying to convince themselves more than anyone else. AGREE 100%!

ok, how is describing cannibals as they are, not accurate. or the ancient barbaric hordes pillaging and burning and ruling by destruction, not accurate?

how is describing abortionists as butchers not acurate?

screw whether its not said with a velvet tone and soft music in the background.

Who are they, to be moral arbiters for everyone?

I didn’t vote for them.

Certainly should.

It’s from the same book, and the same chapter of the book, as the 45 communist goals for the USA, for the record.

Atheists religions are about worshipping themselves.

Whether they recognize it or not.

Not believing in God is not understandable.

If God didn’t exist, the Universe wouldn’t exist.

That thing that went “Bang” 14 billion years ago ... where did it come from?

That's exactly it. It's a communist mentality that I see across their various sub groups, especially the homosexuals.

Dr. Cleon Skousen is the author of that and the series of books on "The Making of America.". His National Center for Constitutional Studies was a resource for many on rediscovering the Founders' ideas by intense study of their writings, speeches and actions.

Skousen had worked for the FBI under Hoover for a time.

Marxists everywhere.

Leftism is fundamentally driven by envy, which is itself a side-effect of vanity. Envy seeks to destroy perceived advantages enjoyed by competitors rather than adopt them. Religion is obviously a competitive advantage. Many of its benefits can be scientifically verified and are beyond dispute. Depending on the task at hand some religions offer far superior benefits than others. The modern form of Judaism is optimized for prospering while being greatly outnumbered. Buddhism is great for high population density living where there is a higher need for getting along. Despite its many other advantages, Christianity has proven to be the best religion for winning in a world consumed by war. In a fox hole during battle you'd want a Christian beside you.

I praise God for my faith and continually pray for Him to make me into the Christian he would have me be.

But this deviant urge to attack believers is inexplicable.

I've heard similar thinking described in this phrase: "there is no God, and I hate Him."

It’s because they are doing the work of their father, the devil. The devil is happy when God is mocked and minimized. He wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.
