They’re Not Just Idiots…

What would you think of someone who went into a church and then complained  that he saw people praying?

Each morning I visit youtube, looking for a hymn that I can post here. These hymns are to be found on pages that have been set up to display them. Those pages are the work of Christians who wish to share the hymns with other Christians, and anyone else who might come along.

How often do I find comments by atheists, complaining about “religious utterances” made by Christians on a page set up by Christians to display a Christian hymn! Like, man, that’s religion, man! And it shouldn’t be allowed! It violates the separation of church and state!

Only two things wrong with that argument. 1) The words “separation of church and state” are not in the Constitution. 2) If you can’t have “religious utterances” in a forum set up by religious believers for that very purpose, where can you have it? But then for libs and progs–atheists are mostly libs and progs–the state is an all-devouring mass that knows no boundaries.

Well, you can accuse these atheists of a lot of things, but you can never say they have good manners. No “live and let live” for them. They are aggressive, they are intrusive, and for whatever inconceivable motivation  that keeps their fire burning hot, they try to stamp out all religious expression, all religious feeling, wherever they can find it. To what end? I very much doubt they know.

Atheist Zealots

Editor’s Note, AARP Magazine, June/July 2015: We received an angry response to the mentions (emphasis added) of prayer in our February/March issue from readers who identify as atheists. Here’s a sample.

And here’s a sample of the sample: “We are atheists. We hate it that you put a religious article in your last issue. We don’t want to read religious articles and especially resent our membership dues being used to promote religion. Our hope is that you will apologize and publish an article in the future about atheists.”

In this particular issue of the magazine there is a feature article celebrating Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, a traitor and a lesbian. No atheist will complain about that.

But if the magazine even mentions prayer, or writes about someone whose life has a religious dimension; if AARP even shows an awareness that persons who believe in God exist–well, then! Even to acknowledge the presence of religion is to “promote religion” and must be stopped. Maybe if everybody ignores it persistently, it will go away.

Don’t you just love atheists? Look at all they’ve contributed to human life–atheist music, atheist-endowed hospitals, all those great atheist charities, and inspiring figures like Stalin and Mao–really, no wonder they expect us to defer to them whenever they open their big fat mouths. No wonder that a single atheist can shut down a whole town’s prayers or parades.

AARP should indeed apologize for mentioning prayer and interviewing someone who prays. Well, okay, most liberal Democrat politicians claim to be “Christians” of one kind or another; but you know and I know and even the nooze media knows that they don’t mean it for a minute. Hence the perpetual smirk on Obama’s face.

Really now–shouldn’t there be some sort of penalty for mentioning prayer?

Let’s ask the Supreme Court…
