Imagine if an activist group blanketed a major city with 55 billboards urging that illegal aliens go back to their own country. Or that homosexuality is a crime against nature. Or that Muslims are responsible for most of the world’s terrorist attacks.
The mainstream media would be all over the story. Organizations – like La Raza, like GLAAD, like CAIR – would organize protests. President Obama would publicly condemn the billboards (while defending illegals, homosexuals and Islam). And the sponsors of the billboards would be branded a “hate group.”
Yet, there has been little outrage over the 55 billboards that started going up last week in Sacramento, California that mock Christians, that blaspheme God. They are sponsored by the so-called Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist organization based in Madison, Wisconsin that truly is a hate group.
“I don’t believe in Odin, either,” sneers one billboard. “Studying the bible made me an atheist,” disparages another. “Without god I am full of love,” declares still another.
Yet, Judy Saint, director of FFRF’s newly formed Sacramento chapter, insists that the 55 billboards are not anti-Christian, not anti-God. They just thought it would be a good way to encourage atheists on the down low to “come out of the closet”
“There are thousands of us here,” she said, “and we are reaching out to them because it’s such a maligned minority. If the message at all is to believers, it would be that we are good moral people, too.”
But, by her own words, Saint reveals the nefariousness of the atheist movement in this country.
She suggests that atheists are an unfairly maligned minority. But if the noisome atheist community – which constitutes less than 1 percent of the U.S. population – is maligned, it’s because of their attacks on Christians by in-your-face atheist groups like FFRF.
Indeed, not only are the atheists putting up 55 billboards that bash the religious faith of more than three-quarters of Americans, they have deliberately chosen to do so during the Christmas season, defecating on a holy day on which Christians celebrate the birth of Christ the Lord.
Saint also claims that she and her fellow atheists are both “good” and “moral.”
But there is no good in the atheists’ (un)holy war against Christianity, using billboards as their weapon of attack. And there is no morality in the atheist community’s endorsement of such practices as same-sex marriage.
Indeed, one of FFRF’s 55 billboards features Saint, the atheist hate group’s Sacramento front woman, and her wife with the message: “Reason. Equality. Doing Good – All without gods.”
That’s the arrogance of atheists that they inherited from their father, the devil. They think that “doing good” means they are good. But the Bible advises that their good works, whatever they might be, “are as filthy rags” before the Almighty.
The Word of God also tell us, everyone, “There is none righteous, no not one.”
The difference between unrighteous Christians and unrighteous atheists is that Christians are born again; their sins covered by the blood of Christ. Atheists, on the other hand reject Christ, and shake their fist at God.
And for their unrepentant, unforgiven sin, the unGodly will spend their existence beyond this fallen world in everlasting torment.
“Dear Christians, We Hate You. Sincerely, Atheists “
So. We will pray for you.
It sounds like they don’t want to be happy or merry during this Christmas season. They’re going to stick with being only gay.
Not atheists. Anti-theists.
You get my drift.
Amen!
Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.
Well, except for the 99% of atheists who, when asked about God, shrug their shoulders and say, "whatever".
I believe you. Do you condone what FFRF, the atheist group, is doing in Sacramento?
Hell no. It’s in bad taste.
And for their unrepentant, unforgiven sin, the unGodly will spend their existence beyond this fallen world in everlasting torment.
Gee, I like you too :-)
Many Christians are former atheists.
My guess is each one of those billboards would provide a lovely Christmas for several impoverished families in the area. That’s what the Christians in the area will be doing, without fanfare.
While many Christians will indeed be doing just that, there are also many churches that put up Christian billboards at this time of year with religious messages. If an atheist organization is fair game for criticism for putting up a billboard rather than donating the money to help the poor, than so is a Christian organization.
I read some of the billboards and I didn’t see anything offensive. A bunch of personal quotes from atheists on why they are happy without god.
FRF are a cultural terrorist group.
“They are sponsored by the so-called Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist organization based in Madison, Wisconsin that truly is a hate group.”......
And now you know why the rest of us in Wisconsin wish Madison was not part of our state.
Time to start torching billboards.
Time to start torching billboards.
Well wait until the SHTF and it may turn you into one of us. :-) They say there are no athiests in foxholes. :-)
“If the message at all is to believers, it would be that we are good moral people, too.”
Atheist + Morals = Oxymoron. If you do not believe in God then on what authority does this morality come from? There is no point in morality if you are an atheist.
