You mean all the fundamentalists living in San Francisco?
“The fool hath said in his heart There is no God”
Psalm 53:1
History repeats:
Soviet Union: Society of the Godless
Society of the Godless; other names include The Union of Belligerent Atheists or The League of the Militant Godless and The Union of the Godless, was a mass volunteer antireligious organization of Soviet workers and others in 1925-1947 . . .
Guided by Bolshevik principles of antireligious propaganda and party’s orders with regards to religion, S.o.G. aimed at fighting religion in all its manifestations and forming scientific mindset among the workers. It popularized atheism and scientific achievements, conducted individual work with religious people, prepared propagandists and atheistic campaigners, published scientific literature and periodicals, organized museums and exhibitions, conducted scientific research in the field of atheism and critics of religion.
S.o.G.’s slogan was:
“Struggle against religion is a struggle for socialism”

About a quarter-mile from where I'm sitting at the moment. It was a largish billboard with a picture of a quarter with an extra "o" on God. Stunningly clever. The current one has a "we believe, they believe" dichotomy in text too small to be read from the road. These guys really need a media consultant.
They're selling it as "all these poor humanists need protection from feeling bad" but it comes across as "everything you believe is wrong." Personally I'm not even offended, it's too juvenile for that.
Does this mean that you have capitulated to the Islamists already? Do they frighten you this much? Man up!
Sure he’s not just there..I think you know I was just using a figure of speech.
J.S.
Lets consider the biggest proponents of ‘humanism’ the last 100 years.
Stalin. Killed tens of millions of his own citizens.
Mao and company. Killed tens of millions of his own citizens. Forced sterilizations for 1-child only policies.
Pol Pot. Millions killed.
Eastern bloc countries under communism. Millions killed directly or out of neglect of the benevolent humanist governments.
Any humanist - this is your ideology to it’s normal extreme conclusions. Man is everything therefore man can do whatever he wants to others as long as they have the power to do it and might is right. That is humanism in its purist form. We are god. Do what we say, we know better than you, if you don’t we’ll force you to do it or kill you. Humanism makes every single thing you do in your life meaningless and arbitrary, in the grand scheme of things.
The only claim to goodness or morality the humanists have is due to the Judeo-Christian foundation they blindly stand on, all the while disdaining it.

“Nice to see them taking on the Muslims, though.”
Even more entertaining will be when the Muslims take on them.
“Does God ever take a vacation from Heaven?”
Yes. The last time He did was from January 20, 1981 to January 20, 1989 when He knew that the world was in good hands in His absence.
I see we have another who has read from the Gospel of Reagan.
You also owe me a keyboard!
“Perhaps these people would be happy if a god like Dionysus was worshipped instead. After all, he never hurt anyone, right?”
This sort of idea actually goes back to Nietzsche and his followers, who maintained that the pagan cults were robust and masculine and that Christianity weakened and pacified mankind. The Nazis then took it up as well, and Hitler (an admirer of Islam) often lamented that Germany was a Christian nation.
Atheism... the new religion. Isn’t that a violation of the First Amendment? No wait - liberals have made it the state-mandated secular religion to be indoctrinated into our kids in the public schools!
I blame that on the feminizing of Jesus that has occurred over the ages. Jesus is often portrayed as a weakling pacifist would never lift a finger in anger towards anyone, even though there is ample Scriptural text that portrays Jesus as a strong man who wasn't hesitant to use physical violence when He felt it was needed to get the job done.

Like chasing the money changers from the temple.
Their minds are so open their brains have fallen out (and can’t get up).
Also bear in mind that Jesus was a carpenter by trade. He would have to be physically strong to do this job entirely by hand as it was done at the time.
Given how many atheists buy outright the idea that islam is tolerant and peaceful with cherries on top, it is downright scary what muslims will take off of them.
I wonder if some Mullah will issue a fatwa for blasphemy against theses humanists.
