Atheism is a Religion

Gary comments on several recent news stories about people railing against Christianity.

Atheism and socialism are literal dead ends. They are destroyers of people and societies. If there is no God, then Lennon’s death at the hands of Mark David Chapman was the result of the survival of the fittest, the fittest being Chapman.

We don’t have to imagine what our world would be like without religion. Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) gives us a window into such a world:

Our propaganda necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism…. We shall now probably have to follow the advice Engels once gave to the German Socialists: to translate and widely disseminate the literature of the eighteenth-century French Enlighteners and atheists.

The French “enlighteners” worshiped reason. “[T]he success of the physical and other sciences in England in the seventeenth century,” Robert Conquest observes, “gave the French intelligentsia the idea that everything could be determined by Reason—in whose name the Revolution was made—with the ‘Romantic’ input from Rousseau as part of the meld.” What was the result? The guillotine and blood in the streets. All together now, “Imagine no religion. It’s easy if you try.” All you have to do is look at the French Revolution and atheistic Communism of the 20th century.

The atheism that spawned Communism was very reasonable and led to the deaths of 100 million people in the 20th century.

Why It Might be OK to Eat Your Neighbor

The most damning assessment of a matter-only cosmos devoid of a Creator is that we got to this place in our evolutionary history by acts of violence whereby the strong conquered the weak with no one to support or condemn them. Why It Might Be OK to Eat Your Neighbor repeatedly raises the issue of accounting for the conscience, good and evil, and loving our neighbor. It’s shocking to read what atheists say about a cosmos devoid of meaning and morality.

Gary comments on several recent news stories about people railing against Christianity. Consistent atheism is a misnomer and no one actually follows their “Imagine no god above us” worldview. They all borrow aspects of what they like from the Christian worldview to prop up their own.
