How Atheists Ruin Thanksgiving -
11-24-2011, 10:30 PM
THIS recent article in the joo-run ultra liberal Washington Post astonished me with it's blatant mockery. What could an atheist have to thank God for? And why would ANYONE willingly sit down to a Thanksgiving meal with a godmocker, on one of His special days?
Quote:
An atheist at the Thanksgiving table
What do you do when you’re an atheist and your family is going around the table before Thanksgiving dinner, praising the gods, people and things they are grateful for? Do you stay silent? Do you pretend to thank god? Do you thank yourself?
Of course not. Atheists have plenty to be thankful for -- without the need to include anything supernatural or non-existent on our lists.
Our families. Our children. Our health. Our friends. Our careers. Our communities.
The people who enrich our lives, who challenge us, and who support us no matter what we do or believe.
We’re thankful we’re alive when the odds against us even being born are overwhelming.
But maybe you want some specifics.
Last week, I attended Skepticon, one of the largest conferences in the nation for non-religious people. One attendee asked fellow conference-goers what they were thankful for and put the responses together in a video. As you watch it, note how there’s no shortage of people to thank -- even when god’s not in the picture:
My favorite response comes from the attendee who states that he’s thankful for losing his job this past week... because it allows him to pursue other projects he had been putting on the backburner for some time. Even when times are tough, it’s possible to find a silver lining.
To be sure, Christians could say pretty much all of the same things we said -- and many do. They just bring god to the front of the list. In fact, around this time of year, it’s easy for people to think god is the only possible answer to the “What are you thankful for?” question. When you talk to an atheist, though, you realize that there are many other ways to answer that question and they are all equally, and I would argue more, valid.

I thank God every day that there's not a single atheist in MY family!
Bible boring? Nonsense!

I swear atheists are retardeds. Who are they thanking? Themselves? What a surprise that they'd turn a day of celebrating God and family into something that's just about them (since that's all they CAN care about). Or are they thanking fate? They don't believe in the supernatural so how can they believe in fate? Or are they thanking blind chance? That's completely retarded.
If there is anything to be thankful for, God did it. It clearly says so in the KJV.
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Nuff said.

Against my better judgment, I went to the Google to see what sort of perversity they would have displayed on this wonderful day of eating and football. Even though I had steeled myself, I wasn't quite ready for this:
Lovely: a turkey covered with dildos.

I think the atheists are thanking their ithyphallic divinities Dionysus and Bacchus. Atheists are well known pagan idolaters, showing a marked preference for gods who endorse drunkenness and anal rape.

I suppose Thanksgiving Day is like any other to an atheist, there is a cloud over his head.
I pray there will never be an atheist at the table where I pray my Thanksgiving prayer.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

As usual Obama didn't even mention God in his Thanksgiving address. It seems after Christmas and Easter it is now Thanksgiving's turn to be secularized by the atheist movement in the US. Pathetic when I'm sure even the most America-hating liberal will have been taught in public school that on Thanksgiving we thank God for our easy victories over the heathens occupying our land, we thank God for the runaway slave knowing his duty by farming for his rightful masters, we thank God for providing us with plentiful food.
Leviticus 26:15-16
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

Can atheists even feel gratitude? I'd have thought that atheists would react to a festival based around humility and gratitude the same way Jews would react to a festival of charity and generosity, or Muslims would feel about a festival of bathing.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

You know who else refused to celibate Thanksgiving?
HITLER!!!
If atheists get their way SS Storm troopers will be embedded into EVERY home in America to make sure we don't give thanks to the Lord.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

Thanksgiving and athiests are the same thing. Immoral. No where in the bible does it say to only thank Jehovah one day of the year. Yet you part time christians get all excited about praising god one day of the year. Try being a real christian like a jw and go preach to people on thanksgiving. That's one time you will know you are being persecuted for being god's chosen one

Why do you deny the divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Does John 10:30 mean NOTHING to you?

I would tell you why you're wrong, but I'm sure I'll receive another infraction for being honest about the lord. It's ok, mock me, infract me. Jehovah told me I would be persecuted for his word.
By the way, you should be fined 5000 points for using your mobile device. I just hope you weren't typing while driving your horse and buggy. You must crave material possessions. Why else would you carry a mobile device? Is a regular phone not good enough for you? My rotary dial phone was good enough for my grandfather, and it's good enough for me. At least I'm not so in love with myself that I'm terrified of missing a call. A true christian would have better self esteem.
