Imagine that this year your birthday falls on the same day as the football grand final. You know your friend loves football and you know he has tickets to the big match, but even so, you still invite him to "skip the football" and come to your birthday party instead.
How do you think your friend would react? Would he accept the offer, or would he say, "Thanks, but 'no thanks'." It would be one or the other wouldn't it? You certainly wouldn't expect your friend to suddenly start hurling insults at you - and if your friend did do that, you'd start wondering if he is drunk, or maybe going a little bit potty!
So let's see how Christians react when an atheist suggests that maybe they should "skip church" this Christmas.
Billboard erected by American Atheists in Raleigh, North Carolina and Colorado Springs, Colorado
- New Atheist Antichrist Campaign Displays Height of Intolerance
- Atheists love mocking Christians celebrating Christmas
- Atheist-driven billboards mock Christianity and the birth of Christ
- The billboards seek to belittle Christians for their beliefs
- And makes a mockery of the most holy birth in history
- They are disrespectful and intolerant of those with deeply held beliefs
- And they belittle the true intent of the season
- The billboards are the epitome of intolerance
All the details here:
A polite refusal of the offer would be appropriate but instead the Christians choose to hurl insults. Not quite the reaction you would expect from people who claim to "love their enemies" and proudly boast of their ability to always "turn the other cheek". Even more surprising when it is remembered that Jesus himself (whom they worship as their god) is reputed to have said,
'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.No commandment greater - but they go ahead and hurl insults anyway!

Preacher Franklin Graham took exception to the atheist's suggestion that we "just be good for goodness sake". Graham says Christianity has nothing to do with goodness:
It’s not about being good; it’s about being saved

That's one of the big attractions of Christianity. People like Graham can lie and cheat and break the law as often as they like, but if they eventually accept Jesus as their saviour, then they can still go to heaven when they die. Meanwhile, those who are just being good for goodness sake; well they can go to hell.
