I can’t say that I even knew this organization existed, no less had an active Twitter account they use to aggressively evangelize the world for unbelief. It’s always been one of the most curious elements of modern atheism to me – while I understand that some choose to reject the existence of God and attempt to navigate their lives suppressing the truth we all know in order to sustain the illusion of personal autonomy, I have never grasped why they would feel the need to proselytize their faith.
Christians evangelize ostensibly because they desire others have the opportunity to share in paradise. In other words, the Christian winning someone to the Lord benefits the object of their evangelism. No such benefit or promise seems to exist when dealing with a worldview that teaches an indifferent universe with no future state of rewards or punishments.
In the final analysis, Christian evangelism is predicated upon altruism while atheist evangelism is so often the product of a self-aggrandizing sense of intellectual superiority – the effort to prove they are right and everyone else is delusional.
Motivations notwithstanding, one thing that I’ve noticed about our culture’s most vocal evangelistic atheists, like Richard Dawkins, Hemant Mehta, and this so-called Atheist Forum on Twitter, is how often they unwittingly provide incredible opportunities to demonstrate the glory of God.
For instance, from the aforementioned Atheist Forum Twitter account two years ago that is still circulating and just found its way retweeted into my feed last week: I know they intended this as a mockery of the Christian belief in the existence of a Supreme Being – a belief shared by the vast preponderance of humanity throughout history (not a belief in the Christian God, but in a supernatural being transcendent of mortal man). But in actuality, it reveals in perfect […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
