Global Prayer To End Atheism

[Brian37]

Um, if you are forcing everyone to listen to ABBA, then you are on the right side of history. But if you stand apposed to ABBA, this is me.

So, you’re continuing to affirm that other people should only be allowed to say what you want them to say?

Um just the opposite. I was yanking your chain.

An actual event on Facebook.

Jesting aside and no belief to the contrary withstanding... the fact is that atheism, like many other things in this present world (wars, death, famine, disease etc) will all come to an inevitable end; at the end of the age.  Who are those praying for the end of atheism? How does this help each of them escape condemnation for their personal sins as required by the law?

"The earth mourns and fades away, The world languishes and fades away; The haughty people of the earth languish. The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore the curse has devoured the earth,  And those who dwell in it are desolate.  Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, And few men are left." - Isaiah 24:4-6

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind." - Isaiah 65:17

Atheism will outlast the crime against humanity that is christianity. It is older than that vile cult and does not have a myriad of lies that can be found out.

For anyone curious; The video was about 20 minutes with poor audio. He basically prayed for 3 minutes then said Atheists actually believed in god then read some comments for a while.

I've heard the 'all atheists are liars' before. It's what originally brought me here.

Posting Bible verses in color does not endow them with any more importance or credibility. It also doesn't change the fact that the Bible is nothing more than a book of mythology.

Yup. Colourizing Biblical passages is simply the chromatic equivalent of typing in all caps.

Yeah, it will end like your atheism in Zeus. It will end like your atheism in Hanuman.

It's odd that he should make that claim. While it's on the decline in some areas and on the rise in others, there's no indication that it's in danger of dying out altogether. To wit: Demographics of atheism - Wikipedia

It's called sarcasm. Now while I will defend ABBA tooth and nail, it will never be to the point of feeling like anyone who objects to their music deserves to be stuck in GITMO. I defend ABBA for reasons long before I even was an atheist. Long before I met you. I defend them because they were one of the first bands I got into.  But long term, I also defend Benny and Bjorn for many of their songs that were deep, and they didn't get enough credit. 

But considering to this day, ABBA still has movies made about them, and all sorts of bands from all walks of music have sampled/covered them.

Watching that iconic scene late in that movie, it reminds me at my own attempt at joining the military and then ending up knowing I was in over my head.

I will never fault anyone for joining and fighting. It is sad that we are a tribal species. But the idea that a penis is the only metric to defending a nation is bullshit. I will always be thankful that there were those who defeated the Nazis. But the best I could have done, being honest, would have been to peal potatos in KP stateside. I do not understand why gender matters in conflict. For every soldier in the trenches, for every soldier in the air, there were thousands more that produced the resources to make their victory possible.

There, there. Shhhh. It’s alright. There, there.
