worldwide atheist church

[alphaparticle]

If church just means something like 'gathering' or 'assembly' there's no reason that an atheist church is a contradiction in terms.

[WillfromTexas]

They try hard don't they and put so much energy into what?  Really makes you pause to think how diluted some people can get from the truth.

 

I unfortunately live in the city that founded the american athiest society.  I have such disdain that I don't even feel right about capitalizing their name.  Growing up Madeline Murray O'Hair was on TV every morning spewing her hate.  That seems to be all they want is to spew their hate towards God, yet deny his very existence, and drag as many to hell with them as possible.

 

Most have heard of what a horrible death Madeline O'Hare died with her daughter and son.  In a shallow grave killed by a fellow atheist...  My personal opinion is you can only push God so far before you reap what you sow.  They must be a very miserable group.

 

Pray for them to come to their senses.

If you look at the actual crime statistics of atheists I don't see much 'reaping what you sow' in terms of violent crime. For instance, countries that are largely secular have some of the lowest crime rates.

 

mat 7:5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

 

Not that I don't think you can't make judgements about atheism being wrong, but before you go throwing stones we should make sure the facts are accurate.

Not speaking for WillfromTexas but.....he didn't say anything about crime statistics among atheists.  He merely pointed out that Madeline Murray O'Hare was murdered by a fellow atheist, which is absolutely true.  Maybe you should try really reading a post before you throw stones at the poster?

Perhaps he had only her in mind, and if so, I'm sure he's perfectly capable of telling me. It wasn't clear from the context as he continued on with the statement "They must be a very miserable group" suggesting perhaps he had in mind atheists in general. Besides which, I don't find them to be 'miserable' either.

 

MG if you have problems with me, perhaps you should PM me and perhaps we could hash it out.

Psalm 10:

Why, O Lord, do you stand far away?
    Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
² In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
    let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
³ For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul,
    and the one greedy for gain curses^[a] and renounces the Lord.
⁴ In the pride of his face^[b] the wicked does not seek him;^[c]
    all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
⁵ His ways prosper at all times;
    your judgements are on high, out of his sight;
    as for all his foes, he puffs at them.
⁶ He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
    throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.”
⁷ His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;
    under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
⁸ He sits in ambush in the villages;
    in hiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
⁹     he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket;
he lurks that he may seize the poor;
    he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.
¹⁰ The helpless are crushed, sink down,
    and fall by his might.
¹¹ He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
    he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”
¹² Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
    forget not the afflicted.
¹³ Why does the wicked renounce God
    and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?
¹⁴ But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation,
    that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless commits himself;
    you have been the helper of the fatherless.
¹⁵ Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
    call his wickedness to account till you find none.
¹⁶ The Lord is king for ever and ever;
    the nations perish from his land.
¹⁷ O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
    you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
¹⁸ to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
    so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. (ESV)

Isn't atheist and church an oxymoron?

 

Yes. It's more or less a club.

Atheist I know want to sleep in on Sunday mornings. Anyway, I heard this guy say he would like to do weddings. If they keep going at this, Atheism, which is not suppose to be a religion will soon become one. Thus going against everything that atheist proclaim they stand for. There for they might as well jump into the boat with all us other "religious nuts" LOL
