Maybe, as we noted in the article New World Pope Francis’s gospel of atheism, Atheists are taking a clue from being told that they can attain salvation by works and not of grace so that all may boast (see 2nd Corruptions 6:66).
Atheists have a sorted affair with charity (as can be seen here) and while they are most successful in gathering donations for Atheist bus ads and billboards they are, in fact and as studies constantly demonstrated, the least charitable amongst us (see Are Atheists Healthy, Happy, Moral, etc.?).
Recently, in the aftermath of the tornado that devastated Moore, Oklahoma, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer interviewed Rebecca Vitsmun how has become the most famous American Atheist de jour.
In short, Blitzer as if she “thanked the Lord” for having survived and she noted, “I’m actually an atheist.”
This has led to Atheists deciding to help this one person (from the thousands who have been devastated by recent tornados and floods). The American Humanist Association (about which you can read here) has collected $10,000 via their charity which, clearly, discriminates based upon worldviews.
Note to Atheists; if you want to be taken seriously, meaning if you want to actually do charity it is pretty simple. When such natural disasters occur, have the immediate reaction of gathering with others, putting some boots on the ground and help whoever needs help without putting them through a worldview screening first.
Executive director of the American Humanist Association, Roy Speckhardt, stated:
Rebecca Vitsmun’s courage to speak forthrightly about her atheism inspired humanists and others who are good without a god across the country to help her through this difficult time.
Natural disasters are a product of our environment, not supernatural forces, and we have a responsibility to help those affected by them.
And do not think that this is an odd or rare statement as this is the standard Atheists modus operandi; they must have established the first charity on Earth to be based on besmirching theists, the first to be built upon shoving it down theist’s throats, the first to hand over a donation check along with a put down, the first to discriminate based on worldview, the first to be boastful.
Also, in keeping with the extremely poor nature of the American Humanist Association’s views; even this statement is as peppered with fallacy as it is with prejudice.
They claim to be “good without a god” without defining “good” and bypassing answering why good ought be done and also presupposing that it is, actually, without YHVH even when Pope Francis correctly noted that YHVH has put His laws (his ethos) within our hearts (the only thing that the Pope got right, by the way). Also, biblically speaking, natural disasters are a product of our environment with the exception of very particular and peculiar instances when YHVH acts via nature to bring about such disasters. If we have no revelation, to reason, for thinking that this particular tornado was an “act of God” then there is no reason to think that it was more than a natural disaster.
Lastly, that “we have a responsibility to help those affected by them” is indicative of the Atheists being the very, very, very last to join the helpful crowd as Christians have a long, long, long history of engaging in charitable acts while Atheists have a long, long, long history of doing the polar opposite.
