What’s a guy by the name of “David Silverman” got to do with Christmas, anyhow?
Atheism: the strange certitude that the ground of being is not enough like a person or mind to be called “God”. (A very strange creed when one thinks about it at any length, particularly when its adherents aver that they believe only what they can prove from experience and observation. What precisely in our experience or in observation of the world makes them believe that the ground of being is not person-like or mind-like? The very intelligibility of the material world which underlies the science modern atheists so revere suggests some kinship between the ground of being and the human mind — the phrase “image and likeness” springs to mind.)
What, however, is saddest about turn of the 21st century atheists is the debased mode of thinking that fancies that a “myth” is simply a falsehood. The remake that J.R.R. Tolkien made about the Gospel to C.S. Lewis that was crucial to the latter’s conversion to Christianity: “It’s a myth and it’s true” makes no sense to them. They are the men without chests Lewis warned us about.
This is the guy who was on O'Reilly a few weeks ago talking about Christmas.
I wonder what he thinks of the appropriateness of the Washington National Cathedral being designated by Congress as the "National House of Prayer?"

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
This article indicates the Commies are still hard at work.
he's wrong. Many may be agnostics or "going with the flow", but there are very few true atheists. It's not in human nature to truly say there is no god or gods, no force. Atheists will replace worship of God with following something else - can be ardent nationalists or shoppers or workaholics -- humans need something to believe in
Atheists are not Christians and do not get to redefine other people’s cultures. These people are anti-American freedom bigotpigs born of the Left’s Soviet past.
Dummy LIEbertarians have been sucked in by their redefination of the constitution and anti-Christian ideology.
What a dumb sign.
There is no Christmas without Christ.
