Uhhmmmm… Your point is?

Thanks for the thoughtful response (even though it seems that you didn’t really think about my comment).

Read Psalms 14 and 53;1 THE FOOL HATH SAID IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.

Any Christian in America can still believe. Any Christian in America can still declare publicly, on their own, how and what they believe. Any Christian in America can still attend church. Any Christian in America can still freely practice their beliefs. So how is this trying to eradicate Christianity

All that we’re doing is saying we don’t want the government at any level, promoting one particular religious belief.

The problem is that it’s ONLY Christianity. It isn’t Islam. It isn’t Judaism. It isn’t even secularism. And the minister said that this is a chance to share the Gospel.

You really want to insult people’s intelligence by saying that “atheists seems to be offended just by the mere mention of the name “God,
Christ, etc.” So, I would imagine a program in which they will not find
a substitute for is making them cringe with spite and anger.”

You want to believe? Great. If the folks who are hurting want to seek out Christians for comfort and help, fine. We don’t have a problem. The problem is that this group is trying to use people’s pain to sell their ideas.

If that’s what Christianity stands for, I’d rather pass on it, thank you.

We aren’t complaining about Christians stepping up to “(comfort) a family after a loved one has died….” All that we’re saying is that this is a sly attempt to convert people who are emotionally vulnerable.

Let those Christians keep stepping up at their own expense.

Fine. Let the ministers pay for their own training at secular schools the way any counselor does. We’re not trying to “tare (sic) down those who are willing to help.” We’re simply saying don’t use the government to pay for religious proselytization.

There’s actually a sly and subtle con job at work with this plan. Take people who are in severe emotional distress, who are extremely vulnerable, and slide a particular religious belief in while they can’t defend against it.

This isn’t “Christian” love. It’s religious prostitution.

How do you prove that something that doesn’t exist, really doesn’t exist? Okay, then prove that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. Prove the Easter Bunny doesn’t exist. Prove that Mighty Zeus, King of the Gods, doesn’t exist. Prove that Krishna doesn’t exist.

You want people to believe? Prove that your God DOES exist.
