Ponders Baptist Church

Atheists are totalitarian. This is their end-game, and we have
provided numerous examples. The horrifying violence of the Atheists
is amply demonstrated whenever they have come to political power
in any country. If life has no purpose but to satisfy the senses, then
life is cheap.

Their methods are insidious, but consistent. Step one is the promise
of Utopia. Since there is no moral imperative, there is no limitation to
deception and propaganda. The ends justify the means in their
bloody world. This is a world where life has no purpose, survival is
awarded to strength, and strength is ultimately demonstrated through
violence. Among the Atheists, the worst of the lot eventually assumes
control, if we allow history to provide our examples.

… but let the Atheists speak for themselves about their goals:

Only Atheists Should Hold Public Office
By Andrew Riggio | Yahoo! Contributor Network - Sat, Jan 21, 2012

Religion plays a big role in politics. Noted polling organization Pew Research
just published a report detailing which candidate people are likely to vote for
based on religion. A USA Today report suggests Rick Santorum's popularity
in South Carolina has been significantly increased by his religious positions
on issues and support of the evangelical Christian movement. That's all a
shame because America would be better off if only atheists were allowed to
hold public office.

Let me start by saying such an arrangement would actually protect Christians.
Leaders who are influenced by religious belief often act in ways that support
that religion -- sometimes to the detriment of other faiths. While Christianity
may hold sway now in the U.S. other religions might someday enjoy a political
majority. If that day comes Christians who have advocated for religious
leadership will have no defense against the wishes of officeholders from other
religions.

Of greater importance, however, is the danger of religious leadership.
Theocratic nations restrict freedom and place adherence to religious dogma
ahead of real-world issues and common sense. A horrifying example is the
practice under Sharia law of punishing rape victims with death for sexual
immorality. This even happens in nations where Sharia is not officially used,
such as Bangladesh, where a 14-year-old girl was raped by a relative and killed
by punitive whipping, according to UPI.

Christian dogma is equally violent. The Bible calls for death as punishment for
talking back to parents, breaking the Sabbath, wearing clothes of multiple
fabrics, and failing to scream loudly enough when being raped, among many
other offenses listed by the Skeptics Annotated Bible. If Christian religious
dogma is taken seriously by leaders it could lead to terror and death.

Adherence to religious dogma also distracts from pressing, real-world issues.
The Bible calls poverty a holy thing. Mother Teresa called abortion "the
greatest destroyer of peace today" in her Nobel Peace Prize acceptance
speech according to the Nobel site. Religious dogma makes adherents want to
limit others' rights, dictate social ethics, yet ignore problems like poverty.

Atheist leadership would be focused entirely on the actual civic problems
facing the country. It may be the only world view that places real world
problems first and America needs that.

Atheists hate truth. They are not bound by it, so deception becomes
their primary weapon. They would hate for you to know what the
Bible says about the sanctity of life. All of our notions about charity
and protecting the defenseless are derived from the Bible. Recall that
while evolutionists teach survival of the fittest, the Bible teaches love
for the weakest. Let history record what happens when Atheists rule.

Can you imagine the outcry if the title of the article replaced Atheists
with The Wealthy or Post-Graduates? What if the title read, Only
Arians Should Hold Public Office? It would not be published
because the government of the United States was founded on these
principles:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

Where do you suppose those radical ideas came from? Aren't
Creationists supposed to be evil and stupid? Didn't we just hear how
bad the Bible is?

Make no mistake: the Atheists will win this game. There is coming a
time when it will be illegal to be a Christian. You will know this time
is very near when Christians are jailed for their business practices in
the United States. This will happen not when Atheists become a
population majority, but before that, when Bible-believing Christians
become a small minority. When the critical reasoning ability of the
majority is eliminated, the effects of propaganda will soar. That
time is not too distant.
