Creationist's opinion of Atheists. Must be read to be believed.
This comes from a Daily Kos post about Ray Comfort. Or as we refer to him here on IM the Banana Man.
This is how Comfort responded to a question posed to one of his followers about Atheists.
For an atheist, a starving child is no big deal, because it's just evolution's “survival of the fittest” in action.
I have never met and Atheist who thinks like this. However when we do provide help it is in the form of actual money and food, and not Bibles and attempts to "save their soul."
Starvation, poverty, disease and death are evidences that the Bible is right when it says that we live in a fallen creation.
There has NEVER been a time in human history when all of those things have not been part of our existence on this planet.
We are the guilty party, and yet sinful atheists (in the ultimate gesture of a delusion of grandeur) stand in moral judgment over Almighty God—when they have no real basis for any morality.
There are plenty of very ethical and moral Atheists. And I would argue that our morality is superior because it is based on a real desire to do the right thing and to help others, and not based on a fear of eternal damnation or the reward of eternal life. Using the system of reward and punishment is a method used to train dogs to stay off the furniture, not how to instill a sense of morality in human beings.
The Bible says we are to love our neighbor (others) as much as we love ourselves. Instead of doing that, most secular governments spend billions of dollars each year creating weapons to kill people.
The country that spends the largest sum of money on weapons of war is America, a country that Fundamentalists claim is a Christian nation. And when our many wars are waged, among the first to sign up are Jesus worshiping Christians.
A plane hits severe turbulence. Flight attendants quickly take to their seats before getting food to the hungry passengers at the back of the plane. The atheist is like a man who sees those hungry people, makes an insane leap of logic, and says, “Those people are hungry. Therefore no one made this plane.” Atheism believes that nothing created everything. It is a quiet form of intellectual insanity.
I don't even have an answer for this last one. That is literally too stupid to deserve a response.
It never fails to amaze me how little these people understand non-deists.
In their minds morality comes from God or it does not exist at all. Therefore they see everything in black and white, where they see themselves as good and everybody else as consorting with the Devil.
There is simply no reasoning with a mindset like that. And sadly Ray Comfort is not alone when it comes to those delusions.
Fortunately for all of us they are being chased further into the shadows by the shining brilliance of the new enlightenment.
