It’s that time of year when the secularists and atheists come out to attack American tradition. I don’t want to get into the Christmas/Holiday Tree argument, but I’d like to share a quick thought.
Atheists only seem to care about attacking Christianity. I know our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, which made our country great; but this group of uptight know-it-alls needs to focus their anger on a real threat. The other day on “The O’Reilly Factor”, an atheist couldn’t comprehend that Christianity is a philosophy. The guy was an idiot. Christianity is a philosophy; and religious sects such as Catholics, Baptists, and Protestants adhere to some of its principles (just as Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Jews adhere to different beliefs of the philosophy of Judaism.) Atheists get cute with word play; but what’s right is right, and they’re not.
Even if these holier-than-thou atheists are successful with having the federal holiday of Christmas removed, they’ll still be stuck living in times (literally) shaped by religious thought. The names of the days of the week and months atheists live in are named after Gods. Even the years atheists live in are named “The Year Of The Lord, Jesus Christ”! These facts make me smile.
Back to my attacking Christianity statement. We have such larger threats to our country than Christmas trees and federal holidays. A religious sect of the Muslim philosophy has the ultimate goal of an Islamic caliphate. They force their religious views on our country when soldiers shoot up forts in Texas, a man tries to set off bombs in Times Square, or an embassy in Libya gets overtaken by Muslim terrorists. Where were the atheists? Why don’t they have balls when another religious sect forces its philosophy on our country? Where were the atheists after a religion other than Christianity was forced through my brother’s office window with a Boeing 767 nearly 12 years ago?
Atheists and their phony outrage aren’t fooling me. If they wanted a real secular society, they would expand their war on religion towards more than just the philosophy of Christianity.

I am an Atheist. I say live and let live. Leave the Christians alone. I say MERRY CHRISTMAS. Put a cross on every street corner, I don’t care. Fellow Atheists shut the hell up. PS I don’t like the radical islamists.
I`m glad you think that way because alot of people have had just about enough of the athiest bull s. Did you know that when an athiest get some sense pounded into their little pointed heads by some God loving Christians the media does not report it. Or if they do it`s a blurb on page 18C.
Thank you because you are obviously a thinking person. My question: Why do atheists use the name of God or Jesus in vain if they don’t believe in either, or call on either when in desperate straits. Can’t have it both ways. This country was founded on religious freedom, be it atheism, or any other ism and live and let live. Some just can’t accept the reality. If they don’t like the Christian holidays, then work on Easter, Christmas Day, Jewish holidays, etc. And receive normal pay for same. Right is right.
Because they’re Nazi loving MFRs
Atheists and all should be reminded that the idea of “weeks” i.e. the seven day time frame we call the work week came from the six days of Creation (plus the 7th day of rest) in Genesis and the Law of Moses. So, when atheists follow a seven day week (and who doesn’t?) they are acknowledging something which God initiated. How cool is that?
Hey Jimdandi…That is good. I”d never thought of that, but you are correct. Thanks.
I think all religions sound ridiculous, all of them. I don’t attack anyone’s religion or, better said, I joke about them all equally. I like celebrating popular holidays that are prevalent in whatever country I might be living in during any given religious holiday.
Keep an open mind, be kind and except the fact you yourself don’t have all the answers.
So what you’re saying is that, an Atheist can also be Christian by your definition?
Even an athiest can follow Christian precepts.
I heard Ben Stein say the other day that most atheists are angry, bitter people, and I say frightened people, as well. They ARE phony…like the saying goes…there are no atheists in foxholes………and we need to just ignore those who whine…I agree with doug63….
I like the “live and let live” concept. Isn’t that what our country is supposed to be all about? For the record, I’m Episcopal.
In this country, anyone can believe what ever they wish, or if they choose, they can have no belief system. But unfortunately, Atheists who apparently have no belief system, want everyone to be just like them and so they try to force their “non belief” on all the rest of us. IMO, Atheists are all self centered, self serving, intolerant people, and they have no use for anyone who disagrees with their non belief.
You have to understand that the aim of the ‘athiest’ movement is not secularization of American society, it is one of the strategies in play to bring down American society. They will blythely ignore the exact same types of activities (or worse) done by other religions in order to bring down the central tennents of our national identity.
@ALOHA117,
I bet you didn’t know you had religion? Or better stated, that you practiced religion?
@Huapakechi,
People don’t realize that some form of God and religion WILL be practiced by ALL people regardless to their claims of being atheist, agnostic…etc…
Nevertheless, in the full context of religion, religion ONLY means the practice of one’s Faith. Faith pertains to what each person believes regardless to religion. Christianity, Islam, Wicca, agnosticism and even atheism are ALL religions when practiced. One practices their religion by simply following the tenets that establishes that religion. If you are a Christian then you follow Christ’s teachings. If you an atheist you follow the teachings of atheism.
Atheism itself is in effect saying that man has the abilities of god and is ordained with the powers to rule over the world and universe.

Don’t it get their panties in a knot when ya tell ‘em that?
@Huapakechi
I reckon it does and for good reason!
Try this sometime, as needed.
Talking to someone and they come up with this anti-Christian, anti-religion bit. Ask them for example;
What is your religion?
They claim they don’t have one, or they are an atheist…etc… instead.
Ask them;
What do you believe in? Or; What do you have your faith in?
They’ll claim, science or atheists don’t believe in god.
Ask them;
Does not it take faith to believe in science? Or; does not it take faith to NOT believe in god or anything?
They’ll claim, science is not a faith or it doesn’t take faith to not believe in god or anything.
Ask them; What is science based upon? What is your basis for not believing in god or anything?
They’ll claim, science is proven with much study and tests and so on. No basis is needed to not believe in god or anything.
Ask them; Ain’t they believing in science and the works of man? If they have no basis and none is needed; how are they able to think?
They’ll claim, yes to the works of man for there is no denying that man is responsible for the sciences he studies. I have a brain, therefore I think.
Tell them; they are a humanist putting their trust and faith in man to answer their problems. Tell them; You have a brain, therefore you think you are a god since you have no understanding beyond what is in your brain. That makes you equal to being your own creator as no one else is responsible for your brain and thoughts.
Tell them; Humanism is is also a faith as one must believe in man and his superiority in overcoming all odds and endeavors. In practicing this faith as science it becomes their religion as religion is SIMPLY the practice of one’s faith! Tell them; that by placing their trust and understanding in their own minds and brains they have become gods in their own right as they accept no equal or higher authority.
To which they will always reply, (loosely paraphrased) I have learned through reading and education, and whatever other excuses they will then be forced to give. Tell them, referring them to the above, them being a humanist and the faith they must have in man and their religion that results from it.
Play with the above under different circumstances and variables. Once you become adept with it, you become invincible in debating those points, as there are no trumping responses.

Not being a Christian, I rarely discuss religion with liberals. I do enjoy a good knife fight over creationism or the anthropogenic global warming agenda of incremental socialism. There are several people in this area who bear the scars from such discussions.
@Huapakechi
Doesn’t matter what you are. Everyone MUST be something is the point. And whatever one is in his daily life, that is his religion. I can respect that and I would think other people would have the attitude that they didn’t care what other people practiced as their religion either as long as no one is directly harmed. Any religion becomes harmful when it promotes violence and mandates that people must strictly follow it as members or as a governing power. Yet today everyone seems bent on promoting their religion as the cure all that everyone must follow, which is nothing more than self-righteousness and arrogance. All of us would be far better off if we practiced, live and let live…… That is true freedom of religion…..

When the Atheists start campaigning to strike down Allah and Muhammad from any public discourse then I will admit they are indeed sincere, not right but sincere. The cowards are really brave to scream in public at the top of their lungs to ban Christianity, Jesus and God but they know that they may just lose a lung by ranting against the Islamists.
