April Atheists Day

 April Fools’ Day is a well-known tradition of pranking and joking around with friends and family. But did you know that it is also a holiday for atheists? That’s right, every year on April 1st, atheists celebrate their disbelief in God and mock the religious beliefs of others.

According to some historians, April Fools’ Day originated from the medieval practice of changing the calendar from the Julian to the Gregorian system, which moved the start of the new year from March 25th to January 1st. Those who refused to accept the change or were unaware of it were called “April fools” and ridiculed by others.

Some atheists claim that this date has now become a symbolic representation of their rejection of the Christian faith and its calendar. 

May atheists now hold that April Fools’ Day has become a day of celebration and liberation from the tyranny and oppression of religion. They argue that religion is based on superstition and ignorance, and that they are the enlightened ones who follow reason and science and reject blind dogma and doctrine. Many atheists use this day in particular to mock the Bible verse that says: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1). This verse implies that atheists are fools who deny the existence of God and live in sin and folly. They also enjoy making fun of many other alleged absurdities and contradictions of various religious beliefs and practices.

For example, some atheists like to wear T-shirts and hats that say “There is no God” or “God is dead” on April Fools’ Day. Others like to send greeting cards and gifts to their religious friends and family that say “Happy April Fools’ Day! You still believe in God?” Some even go as far as organizing atheist rallies and marches on April Fools’ Day to proclaim their disbelief and demand their rights.

According to some theologians, however, April Fools’ Day is more appropriately a divine reminder of the foolishness and wickedness of atheism. They claim that God allows atheists to have their day of fun and pranks, but also warns them of the consequences of their unbelief. They say that God laughs at the atheists and holds them in derision (Psalm 2:4).

Some religious groups have even organized counter-protests and campaigns to reclaim April Fools’ Day as a day of faith and prayer. Other Christians celebrate April Fools’ Day by witnessing to atheists and sharing the gospel with them. They hope to convince them of the truth and reality of God and his love for them. They also pray for the repentance and forgiveness of those who are lost and deceived.

So, who is right and who is wrong in this debate? Is April Fools’ Day a holiday for atheists or for believers? Or is it just a harmless day of fun and laughter for everyone, particularly at the expense of the gullible and easily fooled? You decide. But remember, don’t believe everything you read on April 1st. Unless you read it on the internet. Especially on a satire site like this one.

Piper Rebukes Driscoll, Defends Stripper Sword-Swallower

Piper Defends Male Strippers from Driscoll, Says Faith is "Erotic to the Core" MINNEAPOLIS, MN - In a surprising turn of events, prominent evangelical leader John Piper has come out in defense of male strippers, arguing that their profession is a valid expression of Christian spirituality. The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers. "Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper." Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensu...
