One Way Trip To Mars

So I just saw this News item on CTV where a man from British Columbia is one of 1,000 finalists out of 200,000 applicants for heading out at some point to “colonize the Planet Mars.”

CTV thought it right and good to interview this man; to probe this thoughts regarding this adventure. 

I don't know what happens to you when you read about these people. I can tell you that my own thoughts grow dark and malefic. What drives my gloomy cynicism toward these . . . people, is that they always seem to compare themselves to explorers coming to the New World, i.e. North and South America.

Well, it isn't exactly comparable - is it? 

These Mars bound simians forget, no, they completely ignore the fact that there were hundreds of thousands of people already living in the New World.  

North America and in fact planet earth is made for human life. 

Earth sustains our existence. 

We thrive here. 

You get the picture?

In fact so unlike coming to America is a trip to Mars that I fully support any program that takes ALL the people, not just a few, not even 1,000 but all 200,000 applicants who think they can build a community on Mars – stick them on a rocket, or as many rockets as it takes and get these admittedly sanguine yet deeply atavistic humans off of planet earth as soon as possible. 

No Option But To Bomb Syria

If the United States went to war when it knew there weren't any weapons of mass destruction – It must go to war when it knows there are weapons of mass destruction.

It's simple logic

If the United States wants the world to know that it will use nuclear weapons when it's vital interests are threatened – It must use nuclear weapons when it's vital interests are not threatened.

Why Not an Atheist President?

Atheists feel quite insulted that the majority of people would not elect them leader of the United States. Ya, like everyone else could get elected as long as they weren't an atheist.

Don't worry. Your day will come. Maybe. But here's the thing about why atheists can't get the votes.

The most dangerous thing about atheists is that they think they are good people. Stalin and Pol Pot etc. really thought that killing 90 million Christians was a good thing to do. More and more atheists today agree with Islamic extremists that Christianity should be outlawed, banished, removed from existence.

Reality is, normal people simply don't trust those who are so fantastically blind to their own nature.

In fact the only thing that is recognized as "wrong" by the atheists with whom I've interacted is what is generally called, crime. And even then, individual atheists pick and choose which behaviours should be called crimes.

For the atheist, moral behaviour is decided by:

a) society at large, IF they agree with what society thinks, or

b) the community, unless the atheist disagrees with the community. In that case it comes down to

c) the individual atheist according to h/her likes and dislikes.

When asked, "Are you a good person?" a response of, "Well, I haven't killed anyone," is seen as an acceptable answer.

Atheists must believe they are good people because one of their many points of dogma states, 

"I don't need God in order to be a good person." 

And, as long as they can point to someone who is visibly worse than they are, atheists truly believe that they are good people. This particular creedal point forces atheists to believe they are indeed someone who is good, someone who doesn't need the character transforming Spirit of Creator God in their lives.

So the average person on the street (someone who doesn't get sick or suicidal from looking at two steel beams in the shape of a cross) looks at the atheist's moral processing and thinks, if the levels of corruption that we see in government and even in ourselves occurs in people who recognize they need help to be good, what would it be like in people who think they don't need help?

Would You Vote For Him?

Not likely. At least according to grass roots atheists in the United States. These people are gaining momentum in voicing their displeasure regarding the imperious behaviours of leaders in the North American atheist movement.

In no uncertain terms these atheist leaders demand that the good folks of the United States stop discriminating and begin electing atheists to government; atheists who could some day become President.

Yet the supercilious manner in which people like David Silverman and Al Stephanelli make these demands and the means by which they attempt to bring about the neo Stalinist utopia make even common atheists cringe at the prospect of having an atheist lead the Nation.

And who could blame them?

Ads like the current one in Times Square where in atheist-world Santa and his reindeer is NOT a myth but Jesus is, causes one to wonder whether G.K.'s depiction of atheists as “brute beasts” may be more accurate that one would hope.

Oh well, life goes on and as the proverb says, “May you live in interesting times.

David Silverrman sings God Bless America

No, of course he didn't. Not yet. American Atheists is still perfecting its game by intimidating eight high-school cheerleaders, by bullying the pot-luck committee at a small town Church, by silencing a Valedictorian from speaking her thoughts on the biggest night of her life.

Those are the tactics of American Atheists with its lawyers and its volunteer staffers sniffing out any hint of fellow Americans exercising their freedom of belief, or from doing good to others because of their beliefs.

I was watching the utterly lifeless and totally bamboozled Detroit Tigers go down 2-0 to the S.F. Giants tonight and I wondered, 

“What must it be like for David Silverman and his ilk to listen to “God Bless America?” as it's sung every single ball game. 

I'll bet he presses the mute button. I'll bet he has to so he doesn't get diarrhoea or become faint like atheists in New York when they catch sight of two steal beams in the shape of a cross. I wonder if his fingers cramp up as tries not to press speed dial to his lawyers? 

Will he ever have the guts to take on America's Game? Or will he be like Stalin and all the other atheist bullies of the 20^th century and stick to knocking over the defenceless? 

Time will tell, I guess. In the mean time - 

Hey David! Mute this.

God loves you! 
God died for you!

Atheists say, “America Is Not Christian!”

“This is not a Christian country. It's never been a Christian country.”

So say online atheists.

80+ % believe in the Christian understanding of Creator God. Roughly the same number believe in Christian values and laws. More people than not believe a unique Christian teaching – that Jesus IS Creator God.

And if it's not a Christian country, then what are the changes that atheists are trying to make? What are the values and morals that atheists say the government is trying to ram down their throats if not Christian beliefs?

Islam and Sharia Law?

Hinduism?

Taoism?

Ooops, that's when atheists forget that what they're trying to do is make America STOP BEING a Christian country. In order to make a country NO LONGER BE a Christian country doesn't it have to have been . . . well, you get the idea.

Atheists simply say what suits in the moment.

Atheists and Cultural Christianity

What do you think atheist Richard Dawkins means when he calls himself a “cultural Christian”?

I think he understands that the moral code of behaviour that we in the West try to adhere to, is drawn directly from Christianity. It's why the United States has been called a Christian country. Not because its founders were Christians, but because the founders knew that Jesus' and the New Testament author's directions for moral conduct were the best guidelines upon which to build a society.

Because Dawkins tries to adhere to most of the Christian code of behaviours, he self-identifies as a cultural Christian.

Yes?

This is important for those who accuse atheists as being “without morals.” It's true that atheists reject the reality of objective moral duties and obligations. However since they began their quest for a “rational” moral code by which to live, they've come full circle and adopted, by and large, the Christian moral code anyway. Of course atheists adapt this code to suit their likes and dislikes, but so do many who call themselves Christians.

Christianity Can't Be Under Attack

Did you know that? It's true. I've heard it on several atheist blogs. And atheists don't believe anything unless it's scientifically proven. So it must be true. Blog after blog after blog mocks the very idea of Christians being under attack, or as it's better known, The War On Christianity. And do you know what the scientific evidence is that American atheists use to base their beliefs that all is well in the Christian community?

1. Christianity is the dominant religion in the United States. Its influence is found in every level of American society. Therefore, Christianity cannot be under attack. 

Makes sense? No. Not to me either. But atheists have a very, um, special way of supporting their belief system. As an analogy, the United States wields enormous power and influence around the world. There is hardly a country on earth that for better or worse has not experienced the influence of America. Therefore the U.S.A. cannot ever consider itself to be under attack. At least not until its fallen to the same level of power and influence as Lichtenstein. As it is with Christianity, as long as the U.S.A. is in a power position no matter what happens, be it planes flown into tall buildings, or explosives set off in embassies or crashed into its war ships, the U.S. cannot, according to atheist logic, be under attack.

2. Christianity cannot be under attack if members of other faiths are also under attack. That's again, according to atheist logic. If members of another faith are shot, or if a Mosque is burned, then obviously Christianity cannot consider itself to be under attack.

3. Every single year many hundreds if not thousands of Christians are martyred for their faith in countries around the world. In fact, more Christians have been killed for their faith in the last hundred years than in all the previous centuries combined. However, according to atheist logic, as long as Christians aren't being killed in the United States, Christians should not be allowed to say there is a war on Christianity. Even though Muslim leaders have declared openly that their aim is to drive Christianity from every country on earth (and by the way atheists, I'm pretty sure your heads will be on adjacent chopping blocks), Christians, according to atheists, cannot say there is a war on their faith.

So say the Brights of America.
