NY Times Christmas Day Op-ed Page: No Believers, Two Atheists

Couldn't the New York Times put aside its hostility to traditional religion on Christmas Day and feature a column by a believing Christian? No, it couidn't.
Instead, believers who blunder onto the online op-ed page today are hit with a lead column entitled "Religion Without God." And just in case you didn't get the message, there's a second column called "An Atheists Christmas Dream."

Militant atheists are fools. They will never get a society without religion. What they will get by attacking the Christian religion is the Islamic religion to replace it.
Militant Atheists will be kneeling on prayer mats facing Mecca and praying to a God they will not be allowed to deny.
This is what militant Atheists will look like in the future.

Thanks for reading the NYT for all of us people who get ill when we visit that site. It’s a dirty job, but I guess somebody’s got to do it.
Happy Hanukkah to you my FRiend. Too bad it had to end last night. Cest’ la vie.

Happy Chanakuh Jewish FReeps. Love you all. Without your Jewish Jesus we Christians would have no Christmas. Or salvation for that matter.

Two possibilities:
1: They are atheists for pay and not when things go bump in the night, phones ring at odd hours and EKG machines look like white noise.
2: They really are the human garbage -most- of them come off as and are simply lying to push agendas.
It’s like the old Army nugget...”No atheists in foxholes.”
Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah BTW ;)

let’s hope the person who buys the Times at a discount is a better publisher.

What’s a New York Times? Isn’t it used to line bird cages?

They are all “celebrating” ‘Festivus’. A bitter, hate-filled pseudo-holiday for atheists, created for the Seinfeld sitcom.
In practice, it has four parts: bitter, Keith Olbermann-type hatred of anyone better than you; lashing out cruelly at anyone nearby; cheap alcohol abuse to aggravate depression; and sneering, resentful sarcasm against anyone with religious faith.

Correct in every regard, which is why it was funny. I’m not certain that the people who take it seriously realize they’re being laughed at.

Happy Hannakha to our Jewish FReepers. Without our friend, Jesus, we would not be celebrating the birth of GOD only son.

I don’t, myself, see those two possibilities as mutually exclusive.
