I cannot comment until I have discussed it with god, sorry.
Apparently today is National Atheists' day. What are your thoughts on this?
There's a "National Day" for everything, it seems.
Too bad there's only 365 days in a year. (other than leap years)
EDIT: I wonder where you got that today was "National Atheist Day"?
I can't find it anywhere. The only reference to a "National Atheist Day" I could find, was to a joke from years ago - that has caused some people to believe April 1st is said day.
Truly? I'm astonished. I suppose it's no sillier than some of our Australian festivals.
Playful platypus week.
Dingo awareness festival.
Wombat Wednesday.
Bandicoot week.
Joeys in pouch month.
Gay koala day.
I think it would be more appropriate to have a National Worshippers' Day. After all, in every country except the US they're an endangered species.
I'm an atheist! Will I get free coffee or something? Otherwise, never mind.
you get a free lectures from christians ^_^
To hell with em
Like it actually means anything or as much as any other random topic 'day' reserved for celebrating or creating awareness .. Like 'National Hemorrhoid Day" or "National Clouds Shaped like cuddly pets Day"
Time to go pray to the Atheist god, Atheismon.
Pretty much nothing? That's all there is to it. It's not really a cause for celebration. You don't believe in an imaginary deity, life goes on.
I am not big on "days" In-general.
I am an atheist myself and I HATE it. [NO DISCRIMINATION ALLOWED]
My thoughts:
"I wish I would've known this earlier. Instead, all I did was sleep when I could've been out celebrating. I could be drinking right now. Having some cake and ice cream."
"Dang it, but I've gained too much weight lately. If I eat cake and ice cream, I'll gain even more weight. I wish I would've not gained weight earlier."
"Here I am, eating a cheeseburger and fries, with a Sprite to wash it all down. "
"What does an atheist do on National Atheist's Day? Maybe I should Ask people on Blurtit and see what they're doing?"
"On second thought, I'll just continue with the plans I already have and try to get some sleep."
"I should tell my friend about this. Maybe we can have a video cam celebration and she can set up a pentagram with some Harry Potter books in the middle. That sounds fun."
God has given us all an inherent need to worship. People try to satisfy that need in a number of ways. The true satisfying of that need comes from our creator, Matt 5:3 "Happy are those conscious of their spiritual Need"
Never knew there was a day not believe is a God, We can all be thankful he has given us free will and we the evidence that he exist. Romans 1:20 "For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward,because they are perceived by the things made,even his eternal power and Godship,so that they are inexcusable .
Philosopher Celestine N. Bittle wrote in his book God and His Creatures: “No people has ever been discovered which, in the strict sense of the term, is ‘atheistic.’ Individuals may be atheists; but a people, never. This universal belief is a tremendous fact.” It is strong evidence that man was originally created with the inherent inclination to acknowledge God’s existence.
