Christmas Season: It's A War Out There!

With Christmas just around the corner, most people in this world are thinking about presents and family and probably yummy food. As Christians, many of us are preparing to celebrate the birth of the Greatest Man who every walked the earth: Jesus our Lord, the Christ, the only Son of God.

Well, there is also a group of people preparing for Christmas, but not to celebrate it. The American Humanist Association (AHA) has raised $40,000 in preparation for the Christmas season for an Anti-God ad campaign on city buses in Washington, D.C. The AHA got the idea from the British Humanist Association (BHA), who will be sponsoring an Anti-God campaign this January on city buses in London. I highly recommend reading both articles.

The ads proclaiming, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake," will appear on D.C. buses starting next week and running through December
. A spokesman for the AHA said, "Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion." I will refrain from sharing my opinions about this statement, for they would be dripping with sarcasm and lack grace.

I will, however, share what the American Family Association president said in response: "
It's a stupid ad. How do we define 'good' if we don't believe in God? God in his word, the Bible, tells us what's good and bad and right and wrong. If we are each ourselves defining what's good, it's going to be a crazy world." Too-shay.

Personally, I feel sorry for the AHA and BHA. They have NO idea who they are slandering, and have become self-diluted in thinking that they're somehow benefitting society by removing God from it (as if that was possible.) Sad. They are pawns, slaves if I dare say, of the prince of this world. They are declaring war on God publicly and they may not even know it (since they claim not to believe in Him.) They will have to face God, and I pity them.
