Atheists In Your Neighborhood
My sister-in-law sent me this. It's a website that tells kids all about the joys of what Andrew Sullivan calls Christianism. However, it also warns kids about the various spiritual dangers out there. Amongst these dangers are the dreaded atheist. Take it away Christians:
Now, I'm not up on the Christian lingo, but when they say "You may be moved to try and witness to these poor lost souls yourself," does that mean kids might be tempted to look at atheists like they are zoo animals? Would kids be tempted to nervously watch an theist from afar and then report back to each other about his or her odd ways? Or does "witness" mean something spiritual, like "saving" someone by telling him or her about Christ's love? I think it means the latter because it's followed by "AVOID TALKING TO THEM!" You'd think the power of Christ's love would be strong enough to make sure a child doesn't stray from the fold, but evidently you'd be wrong.
Why should children avoid atheists? Because they "are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children?" I know a lot of atheists and I'm certain maybe one or two of them are grumpy or bitter. The rest are nihilistic misanthropes. It's really quite offensive that these Christians would say otherwise.
Remember kids: watch out for atheists.
If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood, TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY!Apparently an atheist is the spiritual equivalent of a pedophile. Which makes me wonder if Christians would like a law that forces atheists knock on the doors of their neighbors telling them they are an atheist. What if a child found a disgraced Catholic priest in his or her neighborhood? Should that child not tell their parents he or she met a stranger because that stranger is Christian?
You may be moved to try and witness to these poor lost souls yourself, however AVOID TALKING TO THEM!
Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God's Word.
Very advanced witnessing techniques are needed for these grouches. Let the adults handle them.
