ast week, a group of atheists in Kentucky filed a lawsuit to remove a reference to God in a Kentucky Homeland Security pledge.
“We’re not trying to be nice,” said David Silverman, national spokesman for American Atheists, a national advocacy group that filed the suit on behalf of 10 Kentuckians. “These people are breaking the law. They’re breaking the law knowingly. They are trying to get sued.”
The atheists are at it again in their never-ending quest toward segregation of church and state. For the record, there is no such provision in the constitution for the separation of church and state, but the American church kept silent while a fanatical but well-funded minority worked incessantly to force their godless agenda on our schools, governments and the public square.
They successfully hijacked the term “separation of church and state” and disseminated it improperly throughout our nation.
In the spirit of the season, so to speak, I wish to offer helpful advice to these tireless workers against the Almighty. In order for their movement to be successful, they need consistency, and I have just the plan to help them achieve their end game: Atheists, in order to protect their integrity, must sue every government office to eliminate a paid Christmas holiday for federal, state and local government workers.
In line with their segregation of church and state, it makes absolutely no sense for any American government entity to subsidize a religious holiday, so the only logical step is for the ACLU to raise their banner and bring all their efforts to bear in removing Christmas as a paid holiday. Our country can honor its fallen dead, former presidents, the nation’s birthday and even inspirational ministers who led a charge toward equality, with a paid holiday … but it is inconsistent to use taxpayer dollars for a religious holiday.
I honestly don’t know how atheists will be able to sleep all snuggled in their beds on Dec. 24, knowing that the very next day every city, state and federal worker will be paid with taxpayer dollars so the birth of Christ can be recognized. The thought of public school teachers receiving government compensation for a religious event must cause visions of sugarplums to evaporate from their dreams.
Come to think of it, why are most government offices closed on Sundays and Saturdays? Again, terribly inconsistent. Given our current budget crises, I think the government could save money, get more work done and get rid of a holiday that clearly stands against everything that atheists believe – while also forcing everyone receiving taxpayer funds to show up for work on weekends.
Personally, I’m going to grab some popcorn and watch the atheists and the ACLU twist themselves into pretzels figuring out how to break the news to the teachers’ union, as well as all the other government workers; it should make for great spectator sport.
On a related note, I wonder what kind of Bible they will endorse for the new president to place his hand on while taking the oath of office?
