The Blasphemy Challenge

Why do people do this? Is is merely to get attention? There really is no point. If you do not believe in God, then why go through all of the silly antics. However, they should note Pascal's Wager. A loose paraphrase would be that if God does not exist, then it does not matter if you believe or blaspheme God. We all die and that is it. However if He does exist and you do not believe in Him, or in this case, blaspheme Him, then the consequences are dire. Consequently to play it safe, one may as well believe. This is certainly not proof of the existence of God (there are proofs), but it makes one think - or it should make one think.


Atheist Clubs in School?

Student Opinion Question | Would People Join an 'Atheist Club' in Your School? - NYTimes.com: "Would People Join an ‘Atheist Club’ in Your School?

From the New York Times - It is apparently a valid question whether there should be atheist clubs in school. This is a surprising question since there are all kinds of decadent clubs in our schools today including even sanctioned homosexual clubs. Many school kids join these clubs even though they are not homosexual. They merely want to show their support to those who are. Gone are the days of a negative stigma of such a lifestyle.  Now atheists too want their own club. One must ask, to what end? What is the purpose for such a club. It is perplexing why there are organizations centered around atheists at all. Why do they care if some believe in a higher power? Why are they eager to get more converts to non-belief? It must be the same reason a local drug dealer wants to obtain more converts. It  makes them feel better and it could even line their pockets. It is still a baffling question.

The new push for atheist clubs in school will meet little resistance. If local families hear that such a club is forming, they will merely shrug it off and move on with their lives as our society spirals down to the depths of immorality and selfish-idolatry.
