STR helps to expose Atheists

Well it looks like the fine folks over at ShelleytheRepublican.com (STR) are at it again.  You know them, you love them.  Whether you think their site is satire or not it still worries me what these people write about.  In this episode of STR, they help other Christians by explaining some facts about atheists.  Let's take a look at some of the things they had to say:

1) They will do anything and stop at nothing. Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Atheists is that they don’t have what scientists call a “moral compass”. They don’t have any values. They basically don’t know the difference between right and wrong. How could they? They don’t have a God to guide them.

Religion doesn't give you a moral compass.  Family, friends, society, and all other things you care about do.  I know the different between right and wrong.  Not because I went to church, but because of the way my parents raised me.  There is common sense that most people have.

2) Because Atheists have no values they see things such as pedophilia as being quite ok. That’s why, for instance, they fill up the internet with their vile porn filth and they are always at the forefront of the pro-abortion (ie, anti-life!) lobby. After all, why should they care?

Pedophilia is not ok.  Why?  Not because God or the Bible said so, but cause of that thing called common sense and the way that society views it.  As for abortion, I'm for it as long as it happens in the early, early stages of development.  Life doesn't begin at conception.  I hate to quote the Old Testament but, "the life of the flesh is in the blood."

3) Most criminals are atheists, or, conversely, most atheists (ie all of them!) are criminals (they just haven’t all been caught yet). 

That's just funny that someone would make that type of stereotype.

4) Atheists do not worship Satan. A common belief about Atheists is that they worship the Dark Lord Satan. This is not actually true. It’s an easy mistake to make, because by denying God they, of course, take on the Devil and will join him in hell, but Atheists claim that they do not even believe in the Devil. They believe in nothing!

Well, at least they got something right.  Except for the fact that we'll join the Devil in hell....seeing as, well....hell doesn't exists.

5) It’s not true that no one really is an Atheist. Some good Christians, trusting in human nature, believe that Atheists are just “pretending” to deny Jesus and making a stance to be somehow “controversial” like rebellious teenagers who refuse to wash or get a haircut. Sadly, this isn’t true. The malaise runs far deeper than this. Their brains have been so twisted and bent out of shape by Liberal propaganda and drug abuse (see point 7) that they have actually genuinely convinced themselves out of the self-evident truth that a Christian God made us and the world.

Again, the first part of this argument is correct.  But the next parts are funny.  Apparently atheists stopped believing in God because of Liberal propaganda and drug abuse.  Funny, I don't remember any Liberals convincing me there is no God (I was able to figure that out on my own).  But if this apparent "Liberal" turned me atheists, then where is the Conservative to turn me back?

6) Atheists think they’re cleverer than you.

No.  We know we are.

7) Atheists hate Christians and Christianity.

I don't hate.  Plain and simple.  Hate is a strong word that I don't like.  Ok, so maybe I 'hate' spiders, but who doesn't?  Seriously though, atheists don't spread hate, crazy religious people like the ones at STR do.  I don't hate Christians or their religion.  It's their life, let them live it how they want.  Just don't interfere with mine.

8) Atheists are nearly all druggists. Far from the warm love of God, believing that they are spinning round on a cold rock in the middle of an empty universe and thinking that they will never see their favorite family pets again in heaven (which of course they won’t since they’re going to hell! Sorry atheists!), atheists wrap themselves up in what they see as a comforting narcotic embrace. They smoke jazz-cigarrettes, inject themselves with heroin and manufacture crystal-meth in their kitchens. Their brains and bodies are ruined.

Here's another nice stereotype.  Does this person have blinders on?

9) All Democ-rats are Atheists. Do not believe Democ-rats when they try to tell you that they believe in God. Just like in everything else, they are lying. After all, if they were Christians, they would be Republicans!

Wow.  I didn't know God was a republican.  I'll trust the word of a Democrat over a Republican any day.

10) Atheists lives are cold and empty. They love nobody. Nobody loves them. They are depressed and nihilistic, believing that after death there is nothing for them. Then they die and go to hell. It’s awful. 

I love lots of people and lots of people love me.  What do you have to say to that?  And a nihilist is a different belief than an atheist.  Please; a little more research next time.  Atheists are also not depressed.  You're generalizing again.  Just because some atheists or religious person is depressed doesn't mean their entire body of people are.  I could just as easily generalize that all religious people are ignorant, hate spreading, bible thumpers but I don't....because I know not all of them are.  Same goes with atheists.

If there was a God, I'm sure he'd appreciate the people at STR spreading his message of intolerance, hate, and judgement.  Is that what this God creature is all about?  Because if he is, I don't want to spend my life worshipping him.
