Inching Towards Becoming A Full Blown Religion, Atheists Create Their Religious Symbol

First Atheists start building churches, now this.

 

STARKE, Fla. — A group of atheists unveiled a monument to their nonbelief in God on Saturday to sit alongside a granite slab that lists the Ten Commandments in front of the Bradford County courthouse.

As a small group of protesters blasted Christian country music and waved "Honk for Jesus" signs, the atheists celebrated what they believe is the first atheist monument allowed on government property in the United States.

"When you look at this monument, the first thing you will notice is that it has a function. Atheists are about the real and the physical, so we selected to place this monument in the form of a bench," said David Silverman, president of American Atheists.

It also serves another function – a counter to the religious monument that the New Jersey-based group wanted removed. It's a case of if you can't beat `em, join `em.

What a colossal waste of time. A "religion" based on nothing.
What is it with atheists and their desire to try to destroy religion?
If the atheists really want to impress us, how about pulling these stunts in Muslim countries?

68. If it was just about posting the 10 commandments, that is no big thing. They want to change our

form of government into a Tyranny ruled by an imaginary king. Instead of a government ruled by the people, we'd have a government ruled by priests and compliant lawmakers.

 

This DUmmy just described liberalism. A government ruled by the theology of liberalism with the god of state. They want everyone to not only subscribe to this "theology" but demand that we all be devout and allow total control of everything by them.

Is nothing sacred?  Apparently, yes.

So, people who believe they are nothing more than mere atoms have decided to worship mere atoms.

And yet Genesis is considered a piece of fiction too fanciful to entertain.

A long time ago I wrote an essay about materialistic pantheism. Our guest Inarticulate Rape had me thinking about it recently; this nonsense sharpens that urge. I may have to resurrect it.

Well-played.

Please do, IMHO.

That was pretty clever.

Other than government freebies and Obama....NO.

Amazing, really, because Starke is less than 40 miles from where I live, and it doesn't get any more Bubba Florida than that place, unless maybe you travel out into the hinterlands of the panhandle.

I have a feeling it won't be there long.

God, what an idiot.
