Evangelism about Nothing

Now, I'm sure if podOmatic -- the host for the Revolution 21 podcast -- were to put ads for Fred Phelps' nutball "Baptist" church in Kansas on the homepage of a gay podcast, there would be hell to pay.

Rightly so.

But if podOmatic puts ads for an atheist movie -- say, "The God Who Wasn't There" -- on the homepage of a podcast devoted to the proposition of reintegrating faith into life (and into music radio).

Well, that's what podOmatic did with the Revolution 21 podcast page. Amazing . . . but not really.

What do we call that? Probably "diversity," for "diversity" is a one-way street in this society.

Frankly, I want to know what the @#$& atheists care whether people believe in God or not. It's no skin off their noses.

So what motive do they have to "evangelize"?

Fun from spreading misery? Jealousy run amok? Spite? A cry for help?

I mean, if you believe in God, live according to what you take to be His will, kick the bucket but it turns out there really ISN'T a God . . . what have you lost? Nothing.

If you're an atheist, do as you will, make "documentaries" trashing the notion of a deity -- specifically, the reality of Jesus Christ -- then you assume room temperature and come face to face with Jesus Christ . . . .

Oops.

Congratulations! You've just lost everything and gained eternal torment!

Atheism. It's not just nothing; it's a Hell of a bad wager. (Props to Blaise Pascal.)
