We atheists are often confronted by Christians claiming that we are going to Hell. Needless to say, atheists do not believe in Hell or Christian mythology, but I thought I would post a few other “sins” that will send you to Hell. Some of them are often ignored or would require a real test of faith.
(often ignored)(Luke 16:18)
(often ignored)
(Matt. 5:22)
(often ignored)
(Matt. 19:24)
(This list is New Testament-based and NOT of my opinion.)
What other sins will send you to the mythological “lake of fire”?
Have you been really busy doing work around the house on a Saturday morning or been just lounging in an easy chair after a hard day at work when suddenly you hear a knock at the door? When you open the door there is someone there that was uninvited. At first you think it’s a magazine or home improvement sales person until you you view their pamphlets, Bible or other religious literature. Usually, these religious door-to-door missionaries or witnesses travel in pairs.
Sometimes they are from a local church, but most of the time they are Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormon LDS.
Why do these folks come to our doors? They weren’t invited. What makes them think that we need their religion? What makes them think they can trespass onto your property to achieve their goal?
What if we Atheists went to their homes on Sunday afternoon around 2:00 and spoke of our non-beliefs to them? They would be quite angry and perhaps call the local law enforcement. I wonder how many of us would receive verbal threats of some kind?
What do these door-to-door pests say when you tell them you are godless or an atheist? Do you ask them to leave or do you intently listen to their spiel?
I tell them that I am a proud atheist and I’m very aware of their doctrine and without apology, I close the door.
I am finished listening to these religious idiots telling us about their stupid “God of love” and “Jesus, the savior of the world” crap while I watch them wage their wars on gays while ignoring the needy and their doctrine becoming even more unbelievable and insane!

Since opening the blog doors here just 10 months ago, back in September 2008, we have recently surpassed the 400,000 hits mark with 300 posts.
I have noticed a trend lately in which Christians, like the Rev. Billy Graham are quoting verses from Psalms that outright calls us atheists “fools”. I’ve read many responses like this at various other atheist blogs. Here are the two verses I’m referring to:
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. ’ ” ~Psalm 14:1.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
~Psalm 53:1
Many Christians will tell you that the laws in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to them, at least in part…but yet they will readily quote verses from the Old Testament to justify their hatred dislike of atheists.
The following is a direct quote from Jesus Christ…at least according to the book of Matthew:
“But anyone who says, `You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.” ~Matt. 5:22
It seems to me that if a Christian calls anyone a fool that they are in need of repentance, but I’m sure they will find a way to justify or sidestep an issue like this. Why would today’s Christians overlook such a direct statement? This guy in this video blatantly uses this word toward atheists.
“I was RIGHT…atheists ARE FOOLS!”
So, the next time a known Christian calls you a fool…quote Matthew 5:22 to them. “But anyone who says, `You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.”
Have you ever heard the Christian song, “Jesus Loves the Little Children”?
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.* (and his priests and pastors love children too)
If Jesus is real and an active omnipotent supernatural force why would he allow children to suffer from diseases and abuse? How many children will have to die tomorrow due to the lack of his intervention?
If Jesus is not real, then why hasn’t his mythological father (God) ceased the unnecessary suffering?
Sorry, but I have to get this off my chest.
Don’t you think it’s time that we take stop teaching our children outright lies regarding deities and supernatural beings?
Be honest with your children. When they are old enough to ask about religion and gods, tell them the truth and teach them to be rational boys and girls, not pretentious little sheep.
When they ask about what Uncle Joe is doing on his knees. Tell them he has mental issues. That would be an honest answer in the face of rationality.
I would give anything to have known the truth when I was younger instead of being fed Christian myths. I searched for truth and found it on my own.
How much does “Jesus love the little children”? Even if he were real, he has been doing a piss poor job and needs to be fired.
.
An honest look at his views on God and atheism. I wish more people were this honest.
And one from Atheist Eve, “Christian Persecution”
I thought I would post this poll after reading different articles regarding parents favoring “faith healing” over medical attention. We are hearing more and more about these types of deadly cases. In my opinion, it is neglect to allow death to cease your children because of superstition.
Here’s one of the more recent cases. “Parents in faith-healing case never considered calling a doctor” in which a 15 month old daughter dies due to the rejection of medical attention. The result is loss of a child’s life. Where was this little girl’s “guardian angel”, the other mythological being?
When will people finally learn that superstition only wounds the innocent? It certainly does not heal the dying. No amount of prayer or ritualism can replace proper medical care.
Billy Graham – “Atheism Is A Fad Only Fools Follow”
To Mr. Graham:
And sheep are known to follow their shepherd even if he falls off a cliff.
How’s that for foolish?
Billy Graham knows what lies beyond mortal life? What could more foolish than talking to an imaginary friend?? Atheists are finally coming out. That may seem like a fad to someone that has not been oppressed, but I can assure you we will not be fading away like the parachute pants of the 80s.
Here’s the article from kansascity.com
DEAR BILLY GRAHAM: Why does atheism seem to be growing so much in recent years? I guess there have always been people around who didn’t believe in God, but atheists seem to be in the public eye a lot more than they used to be. — M.M.
DEAR M.M.: Yes, atheism has been in the public eye more in recent years, largely because of a few atheists who’ve captured the public’s attention through their books. They aren’t large in number, but they do tend to be aggressive in promoting their ideas.
Why have they drawn so much attention? One reason, I believe, is because they know how to use the media very effectively. They also appeal to people who want to be free from God or any moral restraints. Like the philosophers of Paul’s day who were constantly looking for new ideas to debate, many people today eagerly latch on to the latest fad (see Acts 17:21). Atheism attracts their attention, at least for a while.
In reality, however, modern atheists have very little new to say. In fact, atheism has been around for thousands of years; even the Psalmist, writing hundreds of years before Christ, referred to them: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’ ” (Psalm 14:1).
Don’t be misled by those who claim God doesn’t exist, because he does. And the ultimate reason we know it is because he came down from heaven and walked on this earth in the person of Jesus Christ. Christ was God in human flesh, and he proved it by rising from the dead.
Billy Graham claims there is a God and Jesus was a god also. Basically, he just pissed all over Judaism and Islam just as much as atheism.
Billy is no more knowledgeable of God’s existence than the common person, but he damned sure has made a lot of money selling Jesus to the public.
Popular atheist writers like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens are making money from sales of their books, documentaries and personal appearances. This cuts into the Christian market and we all know how Christianity despises competition.
Tell Billy Graham what you think of his quote. Send him a message!
