The Devil went down to Georgia

Atheists don't believe in God, and so then it would only make sense that they wouldn't believe in the Devil. But I have heard many Atheists say in the small chance there is a God/Devil and Heaven/Hell, they'd prefer to spend it away from God because he is such a maniacal monster. I guess God is not good enough for them?

But what if you were on the "crossroads" and that old sly Devil appears to you and offers you anything in the world for your soul, would you then finally denounce Satan and believe? Or do you take him up on his offer? And if you did take him up, what would you choose?

I was sharing this verse with Tink when this post came to mind, "What profiteth a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul.. or.. what would a man give in exchange for his soul"?

Peace be with you all, my warmest and most sincere wishes for you all in 2010.

A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

Are there certain phrases Atheists stay away from? I'm not talking about stuff like Oh my God or I can see the writing on the wall or that's like the blind leading the blind etc. Christians don't care who says that stuff, I'd say most Christians don't even know many of the phrases we use in every day vocabulary come straight out of the Bible. Even the snake on the pole that Moses held up in the desert is still being used today by the medical field. I'm the apple of my mama's eye by the way. And when someone sneezes and an Atheist says God bless you, I know your just being polite.

But what I'm talking about is these people who profess there is no God and yet say things like "Everything happens for a reason". Or "I wouldn't do that, it's bad karma". And of course "it's destiny".

In a world with out God, nothing happens for a reason. And karma and destiny is nothing but coincidence and luck, or good names for strippers?

Are there phrases you try to avoid?

Thanks, feeno

The Sadducees were a unique religious group of Jews around the time of Christ. They also have much in common with Atheists of today. I say they are unique in the sense that they were religious and yet they did not believe in life after death. They didn't believe in heaven or hell. Or Angels and Demons. And go figure but they were a doom and gloomy bunch to be around. Some say that they didn't believe in life after death, so they were sad u see.(Sadducee)?

I was reading my Bible the other day and as I'm reading through a passage, I came across this verse (Luke 20:27) and it crossed my mind that If you only get one life, and this is it, would you choose quantity of life or quality of life?

Would you want to live the life of a Rock Star and be dead at 42 years of age like Elvis, or live a slow boring life in Des Moines Iowa but live to be 120 years old? Or live the life of a Rock Star and live to be 120 years old like Kieth Richards?

P.S. If I offended anyone from Iowa, I apologize. Peace out, feeno

Merry Christmas

Yes, that's me in my Santa outfit. I spent Christmas Eve morning incognito at a local greasy spoon diner wearing my long red underwear talking to all who were working and eating. They were very surprised how Santa knew all their names. after about an hour I went out to my truck, got dressed and came back in to hear about all I missed. It was a lot of fun.

I have had a lot of questions for you all but have been waiting until after Christmas because they just didn't seem to be appropriate considering the time of year and all?

Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings, hope all is well. Miss talking with you guys. I think I will post something tomorrow.

P.S. I had a dozen ladies sit on my lap yesterday, and one cute waitress who serenaded me with the song "Santa Baby". Just giving you guys a heads up for next year. Not a bad gig?

God is good. Peace be with you, feeno

four score and seven years ago...

Many Atheists try to say this country (USA) wasn't founded upon Christian principles, yet many of these same people say the only reason people ever even become Christians is because they were "brainwashed" by their parents or "indoctrinated" by society.

I will fight the battle of why our forefathers left England another day. For now I'm just thankful we live in a country where we are still allowed to have freedom of religion.

But I'd argue the opposite is true when it comes to indoctrination. Ponder these things and come up with an explanation why young people still come to Christ.

Most kids spend about 8 hours a day at a public school or on the school bus.
The spend a lot of time on the internet looking at many things they shouldn't.
They play sexually explicit and violent video games.
They listen to sexually explicit and violent music.
They watch the same type of movies.
All the magazines they read are marketed to make them think they need to look and act a certain way.
And all advertising is focused on the flesh. If it tastes good, eat it. If it feels good, do it. It's your life so live it.

Let's compare that to all the brainwashing going on. Most Christians kids spend about 2 hours a week in church. Most don't even open a Bible outside of church. And most Christians families usually only pray together before meals. And that's only a couple times a week if there lucky.

Yet every day young people still seek and accept Jesus as their Savior. It's not easy for anyone to live a life for Christ, let alone young people. I mean it just ain't that cool to be a "Jesus Freak".

So if there is any brainwashing going on, it certainly isn't that there is a God, if anything, just the opposite.

Peace, feeno

Why couldn't he have just been gay?

I think I know the answer to this, but I must ask anyway. Your single and your an Atheist. You go out clubbin' one night with your friends. Some handsome devil catches your eye. You share a few stories, laughs and a couple glasses of your favorite adult beverage. Your girlfriends are all giddy for you. He's soooooo cute. Then the SOB invites you to church. Do you give him your digits before he leaves.

Guys, same story only it's a hot Christian chick.

Later, feen

Seasons Greetings

Every year me my wife and girls pile in the car a day or two before Christmas and drive around our town looking at Christmas Lights. My town, just like yours has the one weird guy whose on the news every year because he has a billion lights on his house.We check him out every year, then a few others then we go home.

I can't see how this activity could cause so much controversy, thank God err I mean thank your lucky stars these lights are now called "Holiday Lights". If they weren't, they'd really be offensive.

I know this time of year can be tough on many Atheists. So as usual I am here to help. Let's see how Angie O'neil makes it through these difficult times as an Atheist. She already meets once a week at a Mexican Restaurant for the weekly "Atheist Happy Hour", but this time of year they kick it up a notch and throw a Winter Solstice party. (And charity drive). At this party they can tell one another what stores to avoid. I guess some "blare" religious Christmas music. And they can help each other find all the places to shop for Christmas cards without all the horrible messages of hope and peace crammed inside of them.

The rest of this story is about few Atheists who seem bitter that Christians "stole" their holiday, even tho it has pagan roots?

You can check it out for yourself if you wish. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20091212/n (Sorry I don't know how to link and stuff.)

There is a picture of a sultry Atheist cougar chick that might be worth checking out?

One last thought, do Atheists think people might get saved by walking through stores that blare Christmas music or see a pretty light display?

Merry Christmas bitches.

The Commander and Chief

Do Atheists need to hire a Public Relation firm? Atheists are just as morale as Believers, if you don't believe me, just ask one. I mean it doesn't seem fair that an Atheist can't get elected as President of the USA or ever get any babysitting jobs.

Backward God fearin' rubes like G.W. Bush get to be President. Yet so many Atheists can't even come out of the closet in fear of losing their jobs, friends or social networking group.

I know the "Billboard Campaign" has managed to sky rocket the Atheist numbers way up in the 3% group, but we still need to find ways to make Atheism look more attractive.

I will offer some new slogans to help with new recruits. How 'bout "Hey, save some money this Christmas. Become an Atheist and you wont have to buy any presents". Or "Atheists going green, we wont waste gas driving to church".

Feel free to post your new ideas for slogans.

Good lookin' owt. feeno

Where is thy sting o death

Have you ever thought about what you would like your last words to be. I think it was Pancho Villa who said as he was dying "It can't end like this, tell them I said something".

A popular Atheist deathbed quote that you will see on Christian sites is this one from David Hume as he lay dying said "I am in flames". I don't know what he meant, he might have died from a venereal disease, and that could explain it? There are other interesting quotes from Atheists as they were drawing their last breath. And to their credit(I guess, some went down swinging).

When Joan Joan Crawford's house keeper began to pray for her Joan screamed "Damn it, don't you dare ask God to help me".

Or good 'ole Charlie Darwin himself when he said "I am not the least afraid to die." (Then he shit his pants and died.)OK I made up that last part.

Voltaire was a fascinating dude. I have actually read quite a bit of his stuff. I know we all assume he was an Atheist, but as I read his stuff he seems to be more against religion than God. Any ways when he laid on his death bed and was asked to forsake Satan he said "This is no time to make new enemies".

I think Charlie Chaplan was brought up as Christian, then may have "deconverted". But as Charlie laid dying a Priest said "May the Lord have mercy on his soul". Chuck's reply was "Why not, after all it belongs to Him". Even tho earlier in his life he was quoted as saying "By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none".

Nobody knows how many "Atheists" have made death bed conversions, we only know no man ever repented of being a Christian on his deathbed.

My favorite quote as some one is about to die is that of Steven, our Church's first martyr, as he was being stoned to death for preaching God's word said "Father please forgive them, they know not what they do". Wait a minute, Jesus said that too as he was dying, cool.

Peace be with you, feeno

I got your beaker right here

There have been scientific studies that conclude prayer has little or no affect?

First let me just say that just because were Christians, God owes us nothing. Let me tell you what prayer does Scientist boy. When I pray to God I'm simply acknowledging that he is God, that he is control and that he is sovereign. I'm showing respect for his greatness, it's a sign of worship. I'm admitting my dependence on him. I'm showing that I am thankful and grateful for all he has done.

Besides I'm commanded to do so. (1st Thess. 5:17). I don't look at God as a Genie in a bottle to grant my every wish. And I don't know how we can say prayer doesn't work because people who have faith don't get any more "healed" then skeptics? I pray for skeptics just about every day. Who knows that the "sick" Atheist in a hospital bed somewhere doesn't have a Christian Granma or friend praying for them?

The Bible does say that God doesn't necessarily answer prayers that are Insincere (Matt. 6:5) or selfish (James 4:3) or your because your to proud(Luke 18:10-14) or unbelief or you have unconfessed sin in your life.

When your having a bad day or week or whatever, instead of asking God to make things better, we should ask him to give us the wisdom and or strength to get through these trials?

Atheist friend, try this tonight before you go to bed, close your eyes and say "thanks God, Amen". See what happens, and during the next scientific study maybe they will include a poll and your answer to the question of whether God hears your prayers or not will surprise even you?

Late, feeno

What the hell is the world coming to?

When I look up the word Atheist in the dictionary I expect to see a surly ass kickin' red neck who needs a shave and a haircut who likes huntin and fishin and telling people to go screw themselves.

Instead, we got book readin', spectacle wearin' vegetarians who will get an upset stomach if they're forced to see a Lion attack a gazelle or God forbid they gotta put a worm on a hook. How inhumane. They're worried about poor people, they care about each other and weep over the Ozone layer and puppies.

Damn, I never thought I'd miss the likes of Madalyn Murray O'hare, now that dude was a bad ass.

Peace out, feeno

1 Adam 12, see the man

Control to all units, we have an all points bulletin on the whereabouts of a missing Kiwi, he is presumed to be armed and dangerous, approach with caution, last seen reeking havoc on Christian web sites. His name is Gandolph, aka Gandolphski, aka G-man aka Gandyman.

Control is out.

Its all good. Just squash it fam.

On 10/30/09 on Debunking Christianity's site there was a post titled "Looking for definitions of God for a book" There was 11 responses, I think 2 were by Christians and the rest by people who claim to be Atheists. Some of the words they used to describe God were things like "no balls", jerk, petty, jealous, murderous, genocidal and oppressive of women and approving of slavery. Some talked about how God doesn't answers there prayers and is never there when they need Him.

Then yesterday over at my friends blog (T-Vick) someone used the word douchebag to describe God. I have heard many, many times from Atheists that they don't believe in God, but even if they did, they still wouldn't worship him because of the proceedings words that have been used to describe Him.

This post is not written to defend God. Or to answer claims of his absence from our lives or not answering prayers etc. (why an Atheists feels they are entitled to those things are beyond me) but in any case, this post is simply about how I feel about these Atheists. My claim is that most Atheists are not Atheists. Just people who don't like what they perceive is God's worldview, or simply are just mad at him.

Yes, I know how can we be mad at something like unicorns and leprechauns when we don't blah blah blah...? Ask yourself, are you obsessed with Leprechauns or Unicorns?

Last thing, there is nothing you can say about God that would make him not love you, and want you to be with him forever. Not that I compare to God, but I'd like to spend eternity with you too.

Peace be with you. feeno
