Atheist group at Dartmouth plans anti Mother Teresa event

Can't the atheists find a better agenda?

An atheist group at Dartmouth College is planning an event aimed at skewering the reputation of the late Mother Teresa.

The Atheists Humanists Agnostics (AHA) club sent out a campus-wide e-mail announcing the program on Tuesday and promising a “full-out romp against why one of the most beloved people of the century, Mother Teresa, is as Hitchens put it… ‘a lying, thieving Albanian dwarf.’”

The e-mail says the group plans to screen an anti-Mother Teresa film, discuss Hitchens’ book, Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, and question how the public has been “conned into thinking this woman [Teresa] was good.”

The e-mail states Teresa, who is on her way to sainthood in the Catholic church, “was not a friend of the poor,” but “was a friend of poverty.”

The email links to a now infamous article by the late Christopher Hitchens which attempts to debunk much of the lore that surrounds Teresa.

Cool, I say let them do it. It just proves how hateful and negative a group they tend to be.
I probably would be too, if I thought there was nothing after this life.

What do you get when you cross a Mormon and an Atheist?

A person who rings your doorbell for no reason.

What does an insomniac dyslexic agnostic do at night?

Lay awake wondering whether or not there is a dog.

Marcus. That video is really good, and funny. It made me think of something else that Atheist Tree might have happen.

He grows up into a huge, single tree on a corner in any town in the USA, and Every dog that walks by. LIFTS THEIR LEG and Pee's..

Would that PISS HIM OFF?

The best question to ask any Atheist is..."What is it you do not believe in? And can you prove it?"

I think that they should target Santa Claus next. After all, he's just a fabrication, right? We should not in any way, shape, manner, or form try to emulate his example of generosity, giving to the poor, love, and all of those qualities that appeal to the better angels of our nature.

Why not? Exposing Santa as a hoax serves that ulterior motive of getting us off of the hook for acting decently.... and like the hokey pokey, that's what it's all about.

KarlMarx? You mean......there's No SANTA CLAUS? Oh, no!

If they target Santa, after telling us there is No Christmas. Someday. When they get jobs, instead of spending their Welfare checks on Gifts for the 25th of December. They should go to work, and prove how generous they are by giving everything they earn to the Poor.
