I’ve been seeing Christian propaganda lately on facebook. Normally I ignore it, but today I decided to comment on one of them. The original post had an image that said, “I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am a Christian. I invite you to learn more about my beliefs.” It then had a link to mormon.org.
I replied with a comment saying, “I am an atheist. I don’t believe in silly god notions. To learn more about my beliefs, go to http://godlessons.com“
I looked back a couple hours later, and my comment had been deleted, but the post was still there. Unlike how I usually act, I realized then that these Christians are afraid to see that atheists even exist, and decided to make this image.
The mere existence of atheists puts Christians’ belief system into question, and that in itself is perceived as an attack. This is why billboards, bus ads, and any demonstration of atheism puts Christians up in arms. It makes the other side known. So much for “teach the controversy” huh?
Anyway, I want anyone that is tired of seeing Christian propaganda on facebook to post this picture to their wall. Let people know that we exist, and that their propaganda is not wanted any more than they want to see atheist propaganda.
