MEDITATION FOR THE SECOND SUNDAY BEFORE HOLY ATHEISTS' DAY
The Bible tells us that the fool says there is no God. The Bible is indisputably the greatest book on this planet. It is a bestseller like no other bestsellers. At any second of the day for the past 2000 years, no other book can come even close to its heels in sales.
Because of the supremacy of Scriptures, it has been said unfficially that 1st April is Holy Atheists' Day. It's a day for the telling of silly jokes, the playing of foolish pranks and a day to commemorate one's disbelief in God. It's a day for godlessness, un-Christian pranks and boundless folly - unchecked, unadulterated, undiluted FOLLY.
But do atheists deserve this description?
I have been invited by His Diabolical Grace, the Archbishop of the Holy Atheistic See of Babylon to give the homily tomorrow, the Second Sunday before the Holy Atheists' Day. I've prepared my exhortation and you, my dear folksies and blokesies, will get to read it in its entirety. Here goes:
"Thank you, Your Diabolical Grace, for the invitation to the Holy See of Babylon. I have been very much welcomed by Your Diabolical Grace and your flock of goats and although I was obliged to refuse your offer of carnal delights, I am touched by your hospitality.
I was recently very much annoyed by a horde of atheists in an atheistic forum which I have left. They admitted being very much wounded by my arguments and because they desperately needed succour, they sought the help of the moderators of the forum who decided to silence me. I was told that any mention of "God", "the Lord" or any mention of God's attributes would be deemed "preaching" and was a forum rules violation. Atheists are permitted to denigrate God but if a Christian so much as mentions God's name even in argument, he is guilty of "preaching". At the same time, I was told I was very much welcome to debate with atheists, as reason and logic were important to them!
Are all atheists cowards? Are all atheists so terrified of the name of God that they have to formulate rules to outlaw His name from being mentioned except in a way that is agreeable to atheistic ears? Are all atheists in trepidation every time a Christian seeks to debate with them? Do all atheists shake like a leaf when they engage a Christian in argument?
I am happy to say, my dear atheistic brothers that not all atheists are that yellow-bellied. His Diabolical Grace and I are the best of friends and although our two religions can never agree, he and I continue to argue and debate with fire and truth.
What are the faults of atheists? I will not say sin because that's the nomenclature of my religion. The faults of atheists are no different from the faults of Christians. Some atheists think they're brilliant (when they're not). Many people embrace atheism because they think it's the religion of most scientists and so that'd make them appear smart. But a fool does not become smart just because he adopts the religion of some scientists just as a chap does not become a grizzly bear because he eats salmon. I share the same religion with Francis Collins (the No. 1 genetics and genome scientist on this planet), Isaac Newton, Pascal, Alexander Bell, Fleming, Florence Nightingale, Albert Schweitzer and about a billion other scientists, philosophers and writers past and present but do I go round boasting that I believe in the GREATEST religion in the world? Do I tell the world that mine is the religion of the greatest artists, writers, musicians and dancers in the whole world? That the greatest music ever composed is all composed for my God and His Glory. No, I do not boast of these. If I were to boast, there would not be time enough for me to complete boasting if I started now and continued non-stop until I'm 100.
I see there is no singing and no music in this great Church of Atheism. I perfectly understand. Music and choral works are all in glory of God and you, naturally can have no part of it.
And now, let's rise for the benediction. May the blessings of Nought, the Emptiness, Nothing and Holy Vacuum be with you now and forever more. Amen."

Hi Ernie,
I see you're still at it! Just leave those damned atheists alone. They're not worth your time. Do you seriously think they'll listen to your tune and drown all their atheistic untruths like the rats that your piping is able to get rid of? You should post clips of your clarinet performances instead.
We're all looking forward to seeing you soon. Let's have tales from the Far East instead of all this religious talk. I'm sure you'll be the next Archb of C at the rate you're going, hopefully in time to crown William.
See you soon!
Tim
Hi Tim,
I will fight the good fight but I can't do it if they make things difficult for me. But they aren't so bad as in the other atheistic forum. In that horrendous forum (you've been in it to see for yourself), they were so nasty that even some of the atheists in the current forum were angry with it. To be fair to this new forum, they are the most decent atheists imaginable. After all, the chap whose name the forum is placed under did tell me once that I was a "most brilliant lad" when we met in a small town in Wales. You know what I'm talking about.
But atheists will be atheists and they have their flock to protect. We can't blame them. They are such a minority if some of them have their faiths shaken, you can imagine how bad it will be for them. Their already small numbers dwindling further.
I admit I didn't post enough of the China pics I took last year. China is incredible!!! I believe the word EXOTIC comes from China or something like that because you can't help but scream EXOTIC if you're there. When we next meet, I suggest we get to a crowded tube st and I say at the top of my voice, "The other day when I was in CHINA..." Imagine the stares from people around us!!! Yoopsies doodle!!!
They were wounded by your arguments? Then why was it the theist admin who banned you for trolling?
