Is it
Christmas again? It sure feels like it, with aggressive atheists [1]
popping up to take gratuitous shots at believing Christians.
Ernest Perce V, the Pennsylvania director of American Atheists, is demanding state lawmakers rescind a decision to celebrate 2012 as the “Year of the Bible,” according to FoxNation [2]. The Bible, he says, is “barbaric.”
You might remember Perce V from a recent story that was right out of the “Can’t they both lose?” file. Last Halloween, he participated in a Pennsylvania parade dressed as a zombie Prophet Muhammad, and was physically attacked by a Muslim man. Last month, a Pennsylvania judge dismissed the case against the Muslim [3].
Now, in a vicious assault on Christianity, the American Atheists have erected a billboard [4] in Washington, D.C. and Harrisburg, Pa., that blatantly defiles the Bible and Christian beliefs. The billboard depicts a black slave, neck encircled by a medieval slave collar, and grossly takes the scripture Colossians 3:22 “Slaves, obey your masters” out of context.
The billboard has already earned backlash from African-Americans and Pennsylvania citizens, [5] and was vandalized and removed. Other black critics included Rep. Thaddeus Kirkland, D-Del.
The anti-religion organization has raised similar billboards in the past, and are now foisting their godless rhetoric on Muslim and Jewish communities [6] with the message, “You know it’s a myth … and you have a choice.”
This billboard is only one of many efforts by the left [7] to drown out Christian voices. Who knows, if Ernest Perce gets his way, our freedom of speech might be next on his hit list.
