Here they go again. Once more it’s time to use the Christmas season to promote the hopelessness of atheism. This time the American Atheists have really outdone themselves in promoting illogical assertions. Here’s their 2016 billboard message ~
First off, WHY DO THEY EVEN CARE? Why can’t they just leave Christians alone? We don’t force our belief in Jesus Christ on them (unlike a religion-which-must-not-be-named). Why must they continue to rudely foist their non-belief on us?
(It’s also rather curious that the atheists never try to discredit Islam… But that’s a topic for another post.)
What’s striking also is the irrationality of these self-proclaimed “rational” individuals. While one of their ad campaigns a couple years ago made minimal sense; Be good for goodness’ sake (only because they were appropriating a line from a traditional holiday jingle about Santa) – how do you “make CHRISTmas great again” without the first syllable of the word?
Back in 2013 American Atheists went with “Who Needs Christ During Christmas?” Obviously they do. Christ IS Christmas. There’s no point in joyfully celebrating the holiday and giving gifts to others if we aren’t doing so in recognition of the greatest GIFT the world has ever received.
So please just stop this foolishness. Donate the money spent on billboards to some worthy cause like the Salvation Army, Samaritan’s Purse or the USO. If you won’t believe, fine. But leave us alone to keep Christmas as we see fit.
“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’”
~ Psalm 14:1

St. Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra, in 4th century Asia Minor, now Turkey. In addition to being remembered for his generosity and compassion to the poor and to children, Bishop Nicholas was the kind of “muscular Christian” that makes the folks at the National Council of Churches shudder. He was a staunch defender of Christian orthodoxy and would not be too pleased with the “Why believe in a god?” mentality.
Here’s Ken Ham’s (Answers in Genesis) take on the atheist campaign -~
American Atheists reject Christ yet spend time and money talking a lot about Him at CHRISTmas. Their billboards have no positive message except they positively promote their anti-God religion. They reflect the American Atheists true message—attack God/Christians—shake your fist at God. Really, their new billboards should say ‘Live a hopeless, meaningless, purposeless life—become an American Atheist.’
