It is the Christmas season again. Some radio stations have gone to all Christmas music for the season. Christmas decorations are out. Christmas specials are on TV.
And the Grinch who would like to steal Christmas is out and about.
Who is the Grinch?
The Grinch, and it should be plural, are atheists who are once again living down to their reputation of intolerance this year.
Throughout the South, atheists are attempting to place billboards that show a little girl writing to Santa. On the billboard, a little girl writes, “Dear Santa. All I want for Christmas is to skip church. I’m too old for fairy tales.”
The billboard is simply designed to outrage Christians in the middle of one of the holiest seasons of the Christian faith. This is not simply an isolated incident.
Before Thanksgiving, Oakbrook Elementary School in Ladson, South Carolina, planned a food drive. The students collected food and were going to deliver it to the Old Fort Baptist Church, which has a food pantry.
The atheist Grinches went into high dudgeon. They sent a threatening letter to the school board demanding they stop the food drive or the atheists would sue.
Fearing the costs of a lawsuit, the school reluctantly canceled the food drive. Nothing says compassion like atheists telling first graders they can’t give food to help hungry people.
Days after Thanksgiving, the food collected by the school remained undelivered. The atheists, in their letter to the school board, were quite explicit. They objected because an evangelical Christian church was involved. It did not matter that they food was not used to proselytize. The atheists objected because a church was involved.
These are not isolated incidents. Atheists routinely purchase billboards that insult those who hold religious beliefs. Atheists sue early and often over any perceived slight or any reference to religion. Atheists sued to remove the iconic ground zero cross in New York City. They have sued to take “In God We Trust” off of America’s currency. They have sued to block students reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. They have sued over war memorials and students being allowed to pray. They have even sued a restaurant that gave discounts to people who went to church on Sunday and who offer a prayer over their own meal.
The problem with atheists is not what they believe. Seriously, who cares what they believe?
The problem with atheists is they have total and complete intolerance for any other beliefs.
Talk with the average atheist and you quickly understand why most sane people have an intense dislike for them. Atheists frequently refer to God as “your imaginary friend,” or the “sky monster” or any number of derogatory terms.
If atheists will not show respect for someone who disagrees with them, why should people who hold religious beliefs show them any respect?
Atheists in America hold to the long-standing atheist desire to eliminate any group that disagrees with them. It is no great shock that the greatest mass murderers of the 20th century were atheists. From Lenin, to Stalin, to Mao, to Enver Hoxha of Albania, who declared the first atheist nation state and murdered anyone who dared to hold religious beliefs.
The war over Christmas is just a front in a larger war. It involves a small group of people who are absolutely intolerant and whose goal is to eliminate any form of religion in America.
The first Pilgrims came to America seeking religious freedom. It is ironic as we go into the 21st century, one of the biggest fights real Americans face is the fight to preserve religious freedom.
