Al-Qa'ida & Athiests

This Christmas we have had to put up with al-Qa'ida trying to blow us up and atheists trying to deny us our reason for the season. I can't begin to understand what convoluted thought process allows people to believe that killing innocent strangers of another faith will bring them closer to their God. Consequently they need not be understood, they must simply be stopped.

The atheist are another story. They are like the obnoxious older child who couldn't wait to tell you there was no Santa Clause. They feel superior because they know better, at least they think they know better. They are like the woman I knew who rushed to my side one night when I entered a big party. I was surprised to see her hurry my way we weren't very close but she had a purpose. This woman wanted to be the first to tell me that another acquaintance of ours had died the night before. I am still taken back a bit by her enthusiasm. Who wants to be the bearer of bad news? Well, atheists I guess.

Atheists want to assure you that your faith in God is misplaced. The thing that gives your life purpose, guides your behavior and brings you comfort is a fake. How do atheist know there is not God? They say God does not exist because His existence cannot be proven. If only everyone would be as skeptical of man-made global warning. Being unable to prove something does not automatically prove the opposite. There are many unanswered questions in our world. We do not know all there is to know about how our world was created, how it all works and when and how it will all cease to exist.

So, the ACLU makes us push our Nativity scene to the side to make way for "Heathens Greetings" and billboards stating "Yes Virginia there is no God". If you want to spread the news that there is no God wouldn't April first be a better choice? Atheists believe faithful people have been duped so they should run their ads on April Fools Day. "Believe in God? April Fools!" That would be much more appropriate but unnecessary, people lose faith every day without any prompting. Christ Himself lost faith for a moment on the cross when he asked "Why have You forsaken me?"

If atheists are so confident in their anti-faith and want to open the eyes of others they are free to do so. However to insist on doing so during the most joyous time of the year, well I'm sorry but you are just being a jerk, and that is something which can be proven.
