This just in: Airhead America, that leftist talk radio outfit, is launching a program devoted to atheism.
Really, I’m just amazed that Airhead is still around, with the talk about Chapter 11 bankruptcy and all. I suppose that reports of its death are greatly (and lamentably) exaggerated. Then again, as my mother used to say, "Weeds don’t die." But on to matters of greater import.
It has been said, "If there were no God, there would be no atheists." And, certainly, without God there would have been no entity to create man. Since atheists don’t believe in God, though, I’ll present something even they cannot disagree with: If there were no beliefs concerning God, there would be no atheists.
This raises a very interesting issue about the curious folks bereft of faith: Atheism is necessarily adversarial. It’s not a world view born of an attempt to answer a question, but of an attempt to oppose an answer. It’s not based on belief, but on the fact that its adherents lack a certain belief.
It’s much as if a person said that he wasn’t a Republican or a member of any other party, but an anti-Democrat. Sure, some may say the analogy is invalid because an anti-Democrat wouldn’t deny the existence of the Democrat Party; he’d just oppose their platform.
In practice, though, atheists collectively do tend to oppose the beliefs of those of authentic faith; atheists tend to be pro-abortion, have libertine mores and hew to leftist ideology. Let’s put it this way: Conservative atheists aren’t exactly a noteworthy Republican voting block.
In fact, Airhead’s first guest on this program will be the odious Christopher Hitchens, the moderately intelligent columnist who recently penned a piece of trash titled God is Not Great. This is relevant because Hitchens doesn’t describe himself as an atheist; rather, to his credit, he is more honest and calls himself an "anti-theist." In truth, I think that description better characterizes most "atheists" than the misnomer currently applied to them.
The bottom line is that we people of faith define ourselves relative to God, or what we perceive Him to be. Atheists define themselves relative to us . . . or what they perceive us to be. Is that all you aspire to be, atheists, people who are defined by their adversarial relationship with others? Remember, if atheism disappeared tomorrow, our beliefs wouldn’t change one iota; if all faith disappeared tomorrow, though, where would you be? And doesn’t it bother you even a little bit that you offer the world nothing but cynicism?
At the end of the day, you need us. We don’t need you. We have God, while all you have is us. Ironically, we have become your Devil, that entity you loathe, fear and fight against.
But here is the question: What are you fighting for?
