Margaret Downey Blasphemy Challenge

[shinesthrudarain]

Wow I wish I were an atheist. They're so cool

[GibsonPolk]

The christian nutballs are working hard to take over America and are diligently brainwashing their children. It is important for thoughtful people to push back. If the religious find criticism insulting - well that is exactly the problem.  Religion is literature. Nice stories, some funny, some tragic, some teach lessons, but all fiction, just like Shakespeare but not as well written.

For the Atheist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream.

He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock,

he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

[tubertestamania]

Why are freethinkers so angry at someone who doesn't exist? What a waste of time... state your athiest beliefs if you must, but then spend your life learning to play the saxophone or something constructive. "Methinks thou dost protest too much"

[jamierourketen]

i agree,it is like they want you to join a cult! oh we are a church of non believers! notice us!

[asarce15]

Because when most of the important decisions of your country are based on something you find irrational, of course you wanna protest.

[piano9899]

irrational? reason? the universe is the result of pure chance and accident. bang. There is no reason, no basis for rational thought. or God exists and music, joy, laughter is eternal.

[asarce15]

What are you babbling about? You make no sense at all.

[Geprodis]

These foolios need to have a psychedelic experience and quit with the atheism wrap. Just because religion is not truth does not mean that there is no spirit. Forget the silly ceremony of religion and think about why people are so deeply religious..is it purely out of fear? Could it be the overwhelming beauty of existence that tells the soul to rejoice?

[KasparHauser4]

Good for her! Congratulations!!

Brian Sapient got a woman who has been an atheist for 40 years to deny the Holy Spirit! He's amazing. I never would have believed it, if I hadn't seen it myself. Brian is not only sapient, but powerful. If there is anyone that I would have least expected to deny the Holy Spirit, it would have been an atheist of 40 years. Congratulations!

[KasparHauser4]

errrr she doesn't even look 40 years old

[SageMetacognition]

That's because atheists don't age. Margaret grew up in a highly prejudiced southern society in the 1950s and, as a result, can no longer support the existence of the Holy Spirit.

[SageMetacognition]

Over 50 years ago, she became concerned about discrimination and its effects and has devoted her life to ending all forms of it, especially ending discrimination against people who want the Ten Commandments to remain on the walls of courthouses.

[ofssk]

Yep hes an acheiver

[BIZZYfob]

she jus said Adoni the Holy Spirit...lol...Adoni iz another type of name for God...hahaha...so she just acknowledge the Holy Spirit!...hahahaha...but all jokes aside, Jesus died for the atheist, as well as the muslims, catholics, buddhists, etc...so why dont atheist believe that?

[KasparHauser4]

I dunno (scratching my bald head in thought) Have you given thanks to the ancient Egret god for lighting hiself on fire for humanity lately?

[Hottides]

If Jesus lived at all, he only died for his own insanity.
