I don't believe in atheists.
Exactly. It's no better than the way the DUmmies portray Christians.
I couldn't be bothered. To me, Christmas IS a holiday. But for all the get-a-lifers who want to take Christmas away from the rest of us, I say PUT THEM TO WORK! They have no right taking a holiday they don't believe in.
You know, the TRUE athiests I have met have no problem with Christianity, they just don't belive in God themselves. The ones I have met seemed to be nice, good people, no more likely to be offended by religion than you or I.
However, the other group of so-called athiests (naturally, the loud group) are simply what you say, Christian-haters. I really believe these people have a paranoid delusion. I also think they are small, weak-minded, pseudo-intellectuals who are nothing more than jealous of a Christian's faith, love and fellowship with God.
This one's better- from Depeche Mode:
Sitting target
Sitting waiting
Anticipating
Nothing
Nothing
Life
Is full of surprises
It advertises
Nothing
Nothing
What am I trying to do
What am I trying to say
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know
When you woke up today
Sitting target
Sitting praying
God is saying
Nothing
Nothing
Always
Knows the prospects
Learnt to expect
Nothing
Nothing
The Winter Solstice is already a Pagan Holiday so thay can't use that date. For a holiday called NOTHINGDAY, I propose either November 31 or January 31st. Perfectly fitting.
Christians must start to stand togther. Our Religious liberties, which we thought were secure under the Contstitution are constantly under attack. We cannot allow this to continue. Be it Politically or otherwise, we must get actively involved to retain our Constitutional Rights and fight against the Persecution that the Socialist Democrats have in store for us.
If you are a Democrat, chnage your Registration, it doesn't have to be Republican. The goals that the Democratic Socialists in the US can be seen in Holland today. If that is not where you want to go, the Change you registration.
We all have tostart thinking AMERICAN and our CONSTITUTION First. The Two main Politcal Parties support many of our goals, for some there are mixed emotions.
I guess that's my question, though. Your personal and private, hell, your public celebration of Christmas at your home and at your church is NOT being taken away by anyone.
The issue really seems (IMHO) to revolve around how the stores represent the season.
How the economic sector handles this time of year has ZERO bearing on anyone's celebration of the birth of Christ (almost by definition).
I wish them nothing!
Very fine carol, but why not both?
Perhaps, but all atheists are liars. Let me demonstrate.
If atheists believe in nothing, then their belief in nothing is a belief in something which means they are lying when they say they believe in nothing.
It's like saying there are no absolutes. Of course there are absolutes. The assertion that there are no absolutes is, itself, an assertion of an absolute. It is a nonsensical one, of course, but it is one nonetheless.
So, to all my atheist friends, please stop using logic to gain favor for your position and beliefs since they are wholly illogical. You should also stop relying on science, engineering, and your own senses, including sight and the ability to read what I have written here.
In fact, atheism is willful insanity. I mean this sincerely.
Merry Christmas.
"Enjoy The Void" Day
would be my choice.
I think you're wrong, I grew up with a Christian Mom & an a Atheist father and even though my father doesn't belive in God he does believe in Christian Values. Such as (most of) the 10 Commandments and he as well as I am upset with all the @$$holes who are destroying one of the most holy holidays for we Americans. My point is I Love Christmas and all that it stands for and I'd gladly stand at your side to defend it against these pricks!
Much of what he described is already in practice. It's called Public School.
Can I become a member of the "nothing" clergy ?
