His “way” was to present the law to those who considered themselves righteous, to show them that they aren’t,
and to give grace to those who are humble and repentant and know they’re sinners.
That’s it in a nutshell. That’s the “Way of the Master”.
The Lion comes next.

Some atheists, myself included, do get such things out of Christmas.
Thank you for your dedication, as well, Big Red Badger! : )
Merry Christmas!!
Atheists have no love, no peace, don't share things, and have no joy?
The article did a good job of separating the militant, tantrum throwing atheists from the regular ones.
You, on the other hand, do not.
And to You!
Rejoicing in the Season!
I love messing with atheists. They think they know everything, and they certainly have to, because if they ever were forced to admit they don’t know if there is a God or not that would mean they also cannot confirm whether or not they will be subjected to eternal damnation.
Whenever they say “There is no God” I commend them on their confidence.
And then there are the religious purists who would attack Christmas from the right as well...the ones who say we’re heretics and all that for celebrating during the season of pagan rituals and that the entire season borders on blasphemy.
Tell you all what...go sulk in your own little corners or whatever and just leave me the hell alone. I know that Christ wasn’t born on 25 December, but you know what? So what.
I LIKE Christmas...I LIKE ALL that it represents, ALL that it is, I LIKE the Christmas tree, the wreath on our door, the smell of the food, the Christmas music, etc. In all, I LIKE the whole Season...
Just shut up already you miserable, loathsome beings.
I think the point of the article is that there is a difference between being an atheist and being an active opponent of Christianity.
Why would an atheist care about Christian or Jewish holiday displays?
The writer doesn't want you to laugh at atheists. He wants you to laugh at people who fight against Christianity under the guise of atheism.
or, at least I think that's what he meant.
Whenever they say “There is no God” I commend them on their confidence.*
They're confident that they know more than God. So they have to pretend that He doesn't exist.
The infamous Madalyn Murray O’Hair made a lot of money and undeserved fame for being the number one atheist in the country. However, her son revealed that she would go out of the house during storms and yell at God and shake her fist at Him.
I think that most atheists know that God exists, but they don't like the idea that they are not their own god.
One of my friends got a Facebook message from an atheist telling him to go to hell.
Not atheists. Anti-theists. Every atheist I know celebrates Christmas.
A: What Hell?
oh i know we Christians outnumber the atheists but the atheists sure are louder even for there low numbers
