Tis that time of year. It’s that wondrous occasion where Christians ‘round the world gather together in their homes to worship the birth of a child. The child is believed to be the Savior, the very Son of God. It’s also that time of year where we lie to our children about a fat-man who romps around the arctic in a big, red coat, plotting and planning on how to give out presents to well behaved children around the world.

Then there is the dark-side of the holiday season. It’s also that time of year where atheists take off the masks and issue a full-scale assault on beliefs that differ from their own. All in the name of diversity and being open minded, of course.

Something has, not so recently, occurred to me. That is the hypocrisy of the atheist cause to de-thrown God and “entice” folks away from their beliefs. That hypocrisy is in the assault against people’s religion all the while never recognizing that atheism is itself a religion. It is the religion of self-righteousness and utter laziness, and whether they will admit it or not, atheists need religion. First, what spawned this conversation? This billboard from the very friendly and informative, American Atheists.

What I am going to do is show you just how full of holes atheism truly is. Since it routinely accuses religion of falsehoods and insists on dismantling the faith of others, it’s time that they had a taste of their own medicine. And when I say “they”, I am not throwing all atheists under the bus, but all the many atheist organizations that make a living off of mocking the beliefs of other people.

Atheism needs God. What’s more, it needs religion. Otherwise it would rot and decay, probably into a set of established values, principles and concepts on the creation of mankind and the Earth – like a religion or something.

What makes me say that?

Atheism is a moral leach. Because it does not possess a set of core values and principles it has to syphon them from other organizations – like religion. I personally believe that we are born with a basic understanding of right and wrong. We instinctively know that killing and hurting people is wrong, but after about age three things start to become a bit murky, and we become subjects to societal norms. Our societal norms, or at least historically, have been those pesky Ten Commandments that were once found in courthouses ‘round the country.
