Who ever said that Atheists are not charitable? Well, polls, studies, research does and while they are the least, traditionally, charitable amongst us, they do, untraditionally, donate tremendous amounts of money.
Do they tend to donate to orphanages? No. What about homeless shelters? No. Hospitals perhaps? No. Disaster relief organizations? No.
List most common receivers of charity and the answer is no.
To what then do they donate money? They literally wasted tremendous amounts of money in order to put up atheist bus ads and billboards which are meant to demonstrate just how clever they consider themselves to be rather than actually doing anything to actually help anyone in actual need.
Enter the American Humanist Association who posted a billboard reading “In Good We Trust.”
They report the following in “In Good We Trust,” Says New Humanist Billboard:
[The billboard is] the latest of a series of billboards…in place of the national motto, the coin reads “In Good We Trust”…”This billboard nicely sums up two of the main messages of the American Humanist Association,” said Roy Speckhardt, executive director of the AHA. “First, that you don’t have to believe in God to be good–in fact, humanists and other nontheists see being good as one of the most important of responsibilities in our one and only life. Second, that church and state should remain separate for the benefit of us all.”
Let us take a moment of clarity break at this juncture and consider some points. Indeed, the billboard does nicely sums up the main messages of the American Humanist Association. As typical Atheists, they are an anti-Christian support group which seeks to remove “In God We Trust” from public view and replace it with their assertion that “In Good We Trust.” It will be interesting to see how they will rewrite the document whereby the USA declared its independence, The Declaration of Independence, which affirms that our inalienable rights come from “nature’s God…our Creator.”
The AHA has consistently demonstrated that they are so ensconced in well-within-the-box-Atheist-group think-talking points-de jour that they do not even know that the argument is not about “you don’t have to believe in God to be good” but that without YHVH “good” is relative and tentative. For example, while they claim that “being good [is] one of the most important of responsibilities” they do not define what “good” is, how we determine it or why we ought trust in it. Keep in mind that many Atheists, such as Sam Harris claim that rape played a beneficial role in human evolution. Richard Dawkins claims that today rape is only arbitrarily immoral. Dan Barker claims that rape is not absolutely immoral. On it goes and the point is that on some atheist’s view rape was once “good.”
Think of it this way: everything that has happened in the past has benefited human evolution by ridding us of the weak and preserving the strong—the survival of the fittest. Thus, on this view death, genocide, extinctions, brutality, cannibalism, rape and much more was, at least in the past, “good.”
Now, seeing that the AHA seeks to remove references to God and replace them with references to their “main messages.” In which case we need to ask: if church and state should remain separate what about the separation of Atheism and state? Also, by the way, “In God We Trust” does not run afoul the First Amendment as that statement does not establish a state (national) religion.
Fascinatingly:
David Niose, president of the American Humanist Association, pointed out that the official national motto had an unsavory beginning. “The adoption of the ‘In God We Trust’ motto came at the height of the Cold War and McCarthyism in the 1950s, and it is unfortunate that we still cling to such religious rhetoric today.
Indeed, the official national motto was adoption in order to reiterate the Declaration of Independence and in order to differentiate the USA’s Judeo-Christian principle from those of the Atheist Communist regimes who were slaughtering hundreds of millions of people. What is noteworthy is that they were not slaughtering hundreds of millions of people as collateral damage, as it where, of wars. Rather, they were slaughtering hundreds of millions of their own people because according to their Atheism inspired worldviews their citizenry were nothing but animals at various stages of evolution and many were mere unless eaters.
Overall, as it always the case in fact, both the billboards and their explanations are stunningly fallacious and they are based upon anti-Christian prejudice and not upon bothersome facts.
