Atheist Tuesday: The 3 Wise Men

In American culture too many people have admired the slapstick humor of The Three Stooges. These bumbling knuckleheads have promoted great guffaws among the populace with their illogical antics and silly pratfalls; their inane arguments and solutions to difficult situations have elicited great gasps of mass hilarity.

But that was for another time.

For these modern days we now have a triumvirate who are a bit more inventive in their approach to life and how it all works out. These men are very wise to the educated, models of inspiration for a new age and a more enlightened way of thinking. Who are these Mighty Men?

#1: Richard Dawkins (Oxford professor)

(Cue the laugh track) He wrote: “Evolution is a fact. Beyond reasonable doubt, beyond serious doubt, beyond sane, informed, intelligent doubt, beyond doubt evolution is a fact. The evidence for evolution is at least as strong as the evidence for the Holocaust, even allowing for eye witnesses to the Holocaust.”

“It is a plain truth that we are cousins of chimpanzees, somewhat more distant cousins of monkeys, more distant cousins still of aardvarks and manatees, yet more distant cousins of bananas and turnips … continue the list as long as desired.”

Let’s here it for Professor Turnip!

#2: Stephen Hawking (theoretical physicist)

(Notice the Applause sign, please.) He said, “I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.”

Of all the gifts God gave this brilliant man, wisdom was not one of them.

Last but not least, is a man who continues to waste everyone’s time and money with frivolities. He is none other than…

Doo Dah Parade, Pt. 3: Atheists United Vs. Truth

Can you think of anything more foolish than a cadre of unbelievers declaring in unison that there is no God while marching in silly costumes at the 2011 Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena?

I can think of something more foolish: a cadre of believers preaching the truth that there is a God, a God who will hold them accountable for their actions and their unbelief. (Click here to start at PART 1)

“For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.” (1 Corinthians 1:21)

I haven’t seen Bruce the Atheist since 2008 when he and his friend Millstone Frank tried to persuade my daughter that there was no God. She remained unconvinced and you can read about it here.)

Well, Lo and Behold! There was Bruce dressed up as a poor rent pilgrim proud of his blasphemous parade float and signs. There was only one thing to do: Preach. In fact we preached to this darkened crowd twice just to make sure they heard our message loud and clear!

Here’s the first session:

Want to see the second video where an atheist heckler shouts, “You’re an idiot! You’re an idiot!” until Bruce the Atheist whisks him away?

Atheist Tuesday: The Forbidden Easter Ad

What is it about the resurrection of Jesus Christ that makes non-Christians tremble in fear, distrust and continued disbelief? Why is this fact so controversial even though it was an actual historical event verified by a multitude of witnesses?

Edwards Cinema, a California theater chain, thought Compass Bible Church’s ad promoting a local Easter service was too hot to handle—and pulled the plug—even though there was a signed contract and thousands of dollars paid to run the commercial in it’s theaters. Here’s the reason why, according to Senior Pastor Mike Fabarez: “[They said] it uses the name of Jesus and so we’re not going to accept that ad.”

Pastor Fabarez offers further explanation.

“You can show movies and contract with movie companies and producers and show all kinds of things that use the name of Jesus in all kinds of pejorative ways and as expletives and everything else.
