Atheism and how it could even be in your family or group of people.. so of course I had to troll... i listned live through their website but I was also at work so I apologize for not having great notes and for them being sporadic... and I'm sure I missed some stuff that was "note worthy"...
Here are some of the points that they talked about:
Anonymous caller.. her bf might be an atheist.. what to do? Their Response: Pray for him… leave it up to the lord…
Pedophile priests… - people turned off by that… despite that, God is at work… ? really? Jesus on the cross.. murdered by the heads of his religion.. that means pedophile priests are okay… because of the Eucharist… in the greatest evil, god is still at work… think of all the good… not the bad..
Pray that they (atheists) open their minds…
We have lost faith because we lost sight of who we are… Seeing atheists as god see’s atheists with tenderness will bring an atheist back to the church…
New atheism. Aggressive zeal
People are atheists because they hate religion and hate the people in religion… Atheists focus on individuals.. like to demonize and ridicule the people…
They (the religious) need to prepare themselves against militant atheists… (they need to be prepared for the pedophile priests scandal)
Secular humanism is just putting a happy face on the word atheism…
Families should be aware that atheism is flourishing on the internet… BE AWARE! Catholic families teach to love and not to hate..
Atheism/secularism seems to be cool on the internet.. that’s why young people are being turned on to it…
Atheists regimes - French revolution/soviet union/china/cuba… disaster and tragedy follow suit…
Distraction is a new part of the atheist movement.. distracting you from the “truth of god” to get you to join their team…
School text books portray religion, especially Christianity as evil… parents need to be preparing their children for the issues to be raised by atheists… many subtle ways.. moral relativism… Help inoculate the kids (indoctrinate) so they don’t lose their way…
and those are the notes I took down from listening in on the Battling Atheism talk.. again, i apolgize for the format of the notes and what not...
and...................... go
I have a real hard time even watching or listening or even reading anything related to those sorts of things. It drives me up the wall!! Some religious sites that throw straight facts like a Wikipedia don't bug me one bit but going to any of there websites just make me sick to my stomach. If not even to the point of being angry.
I kind of wish I could listen to that stuff but it really drives me nuts!
