His contempt is reserved for what he calls the evangelizing atheists.\u00a0 (Why do evangelical Christians use the word \u201cevangelize\u201d like they think it\u2019s a bad thing?\u00a0 Just curious.)<\/p>\n
The politically conservative unbelieving atheist must wake up and connect the dots between religion and politics and between social and fiscal conservatism. He must realize that the evangelistic atheist is on a political rather than religious crusade. His evangelism targets religion because he seeks to destroy the family. And he seeks to destroy the family because he seeks to replace it with the welfare state.<\/p>\n
Our individual liberties are in jeopardy. But they may only be taken away by men if it is presumed that they are granted by men. We need fair-minded unbelieving atheists to reconsider the underpinnings of their beliefs. A godless conservatism is only one election away from extinction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
These false connections between atheism and the welfare state are easily ridiculed scare tactics that I could readily let pass.\u00a0 So is his idiocy about liberties somehow being granted by someone other than \u201cmen\u201d (so slavery WAS God\u2019s fault!).\u00a0 It\u2019s his accusation about us seeking to \u201cdestroy the family\u201d that I can\u2019t let slide.<\/p>\n
I have a family and I do not wish to see it destroyed.\u00a0 Yet when I look around me I see that the ONLY people putting MY individual liberties in jeopardy are conservative evangelicals (and other fundamentalists) who seek to set public policy by their ignorant beliefs about infallible scriptures and the imaginary gods who wrote or inspired them.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
