Come Nov. 2 the atheists are going to march on
Washington. For the first time in our history there will be a batch of people
coming here to say what it is they don’t want. What they don’t want is God. And
I suspect the feeling is mutual. They — the atheists — don’t want Him on our
coins, in our pledge, in our oaths and probably not in our churches. They
certainly don’t want Him in our schools or anywhere else where He might have a
positive effect on society. And so they’re going to take advantage of their
God-given right to protest by making an un-Godly fuss. Perhaps they�ll tell us
God is dead. But, on second thought, how can they do that without admitting that
there was a God once? And if there was a God, then there is a God because God
could not be God unless he were infinite. …I don’t suspect the atheist march
will draw a very big crowd. In fact, you might say it will be a miracle if a lot
of people show up except that miracles imply the existence of God so instead it
will just show that a lot of people have nothing better to do with their time
and money. …As for me, I hope they come. In fact, I can hardly wait for the
day, mainly because I want to see if God cares enough to rain on their
parade.” –Lyn Nofziger
“If there were no
God, there would be no atheists.” — G.K. Chesterton
“O my God fill my soul with holy joy, courage and
strength to serve you. Enkindle your love in me and then walk with me along the
next stretch of road before me. I do not see very far ahead but when I have
arrived where the horizon now closes down, a new prospect will open before me
and I shall meet it with peace.” Edith Stein (St. Teresa Benedicta of the
Cross)
“Love of neighbor, detachment, and humility. Together
they form a foundation for prayer.” — St. Teresa of Jesus (Avila)
“In any case, a statistic has been planted, and makes its
appearances in tables, graphs, learned discourses, becoming part of the world’s
wisdom. In the beginning was the Lie, and the Lie was made news and dwelt among
us, graceless and false.” –Malcolm Muggeridge

How can anyone with common sense accept such pro-found faith, without any doubt, in a story from the ignorant past? History reveals many gods that simply faded away with revelation.Look at the horror that the bliss of ignorance has come to the world.Why the fear of doubt or question? Why the cowardess to do so?

How can we be so sure the past was ignorant. Because the told you in school. Because some book told you, right? Also, of course bad ideas fade away in light of the ture ones!
