A small city in heavily Christian northern Florida is about to become home to the first public monument in the United States dedicated to atheism. Florida members of American Atheists, a national advocacy group, plan to erect a 1,500-pound granite display in front of the Bradford County Courthouse in Starke, Fla., next month, opposite a controversial year-old display of the Ten Commandments outside the same courthouse. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/31/atheist-monument-starke-florida_n_3368319.html?utm_hp_ref=religion |

Did anybody read the inscription? Here you go with my comments inserted. "An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. Can't we have both? What about all of the hospitals built and run by religious people around the world? Take all of those away and they would be missed very much. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. Again, can't we have both? When disaster strikes the Christian doesn't sit around on his/her behind. They spring into action doing AND praying. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape unto death. He wants disease conqured, poverty banished, war eliminated." As if religious people don't want these things as well! As for escape into death the "pie in the sky by and by" idea didn't originate in churches. That slander came straight from atheism. That inscription is the biggest load of bull hockey to come down the pike in a long time. |

So why don't Athiest build hospitals (as far as I know every single one here in B'ham is Baptist/Catholic/Methodist but not ONE athiest hospital) So are they doing good deeds, organizing to help people like those hit by tornado/earthquake/tsunami/hurricane/floods etc- cant' they just do it? Red Cross and Salvation Army both have been more known as Chistian charities. Christians have been doing good deeds and helping others for hundreds of years. I promise if there were no Christianity, charitable works and deeds like housing, feeding and clothing the poor and homeless would decrease incredibly. Christians and Christian groups (and those taught those values) are usually the first to rush in to help. I have always felt athiets are jealous of Christians otherwise why do they constantly compare themselves to Christians and Christianity all the time? Notice they ignore Islam and other religions.

TY Blackjack ,my conclusions exactly. They don,t see what good GOD's people has done in the name of JESUS CHRIST they only see the bad stuff that Christians are acusesed of. I pray that GOD will open their eyes before it's too late. |
