Biden's Global Initiative Grants 'to Promote Atheism Worldwide' Faces Backlash by bn365: 2:23pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
"Its one thing for the Department to be tolerant and respectful of a wide range of belief systems" and "to encourage governments to respect the religious freedom interests of their citizens." "It is quite another for the United States government to work actively to empower atheists, humanists, non-practicing, and non-affiliated in public decision-making," the letter read. "Any such program – for any religiously-identifiable group – in the United States would be unconstitutional." "In addition to its constitutionally dubious legal foundation, we also question how such a grant or cooperative agreement program advances the foreign policy interests of the United States," it continued. "Were such programs known by the citizens of the target countries, we would expect that local populations, interest groups, and governments would bristle at what any ‘objective observer’ would see as ‘covert’ funding from a foreign power designed to shatter local religious and cultural relationships." The Republicans pointed out that atheism and "humanism" are both "official belief systems" protected under the First Amendment’s right to religious freedom and said they would "like to know what other United States government programs supported with appropriated funds are being used either to encourage, inculcate, or to disparage any official belief system – atheist, humanist, Christian, Muslim, or otherwise." President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken "announced a ‘competitive’ process that would award grants of up to $500,000 to organizations committed to the practice and spread of atheism and humanism, namely in South/Central Asia and in the Middle East/North Africa," . https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-republicans-demand-answers-biden-admin-grants-promote-atheism |

Adherents of the two most violent religions in the world will come here and start crying under this thread. They've forgotten that the teeth the Dog uses to play with it's child is what it will use to bite it. 200 years ago when they were shoving religion down the throats of your ancestors no one imagined that one day will come, when the same tools used to promote your religion will be used to discourage it. Full cycle. |

Now that the US is slowly inching toward full communism, Atheism has to be the state religion, right? Oh and by the way, How many people died under communists/socialists like Mao[China], Hitler[Germany], and Vladimir Lenin[Soviet Union]? Take an educated guess ![]() Aidejay: |

I'm well aware that most people who quote Friedrich Nietzsche's "God is dead" do not understand the meaning of the quote. He was afraid of what would replace God, and he was opposed to the idea of Atheism. "Build back better" is about destroying what was ie Christianity, family, Fuel etc Everything that held societies together and its place, replace it something new They want to promote transgenderism, but I doubt you're aware of the "covert" push going on right under your nose. Christianity is intolerant and the Bible is a hate book because its opposed to homosexuality etc Russia has already been where you're going and back. Christianity is flourishing in Russia, but the United States wishes to experiment with Communism. FERNANDEZISBACK:

The US government has never funded any religious belief system prior to Atheism, and the backlash is based on the fact that it is unconstitutional. Read up on "separation of church and state" Aidejay: |

bn365:What part? Well if you ask me about this German dude...he was perched on a precipice between old style tradition and contemporary modernity as you prolly have come to know it..... He wanted us to be prepared as possible..because if we were not well enough prepared the future we would encounter would be full of negation and despair...what is happening now.. ![]() I will say Nietzsche's philosophy is a mix of atheism..nihilism and perspectivism..He believes that there is no objective meaning in the universe..that existence is meaningless and that our values are nothing more than products of our own perspective... Did you read about his argument? that there are two central ideas in philosophy..which is the idea of God and the idea of the self... He claimed that both of these ideas were created in order to explain things that could not be explained...He also claimed that God was created to explain the universe and the self was created to explain the experience of consciousness...He argued that both of these ideas are myths that need to be overcome.. Understood?are you even a philosopher or noise maker? ![]() |

I let you talk bull on my thread, even when i knew you're a midwit You're dumb lightweight trying to pass off as an enlightened individual. If you've read the book "antichrist", you will not say he's an Atheist. You can only fool yourself. His critism of Christianity was from one who wants to better the religion. If you know Jordan Peterson, you will know Nietzsche's philosophy. That's how I got to know Nietzsche and was introduced to his books. FERNANDEZISBACK: |
Re: Biden's Global Initiative Grants 'to Promote Atheism Worldwide' Faces Backlash by FERNANDEZISBACK: 4:21pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
bn365: ![]() You was introduced.. ![]() Hence my word sort of an atheist..he was raised protestant then he rebelled..He critisised modern religion saying it only pretends there is morality... Friedrich found his anwers in ancient Greece and their belief system...Especially Dionysus got to him... The man preached spirituality and personal belief system...He stood against organised religion and supported individual spirituality...what does that make him? He used to quote Goethe who referred to himself as an “old pagan” and said “We want to remain pagans .. Nietzsche praised atheism passionately when he wrote..“I am proud to be atheist...Atheism is innocence.” ![]() When I says Friedrich was an atheist..I meant in the sense that he lacked belief in God...It is unlikely that he was a Deist because he believed that outside world was bereft of meaning... He also did not agree with the central teachings of Christianity...so what's ya point? ![]() You know nothing about this dude tho.. |
Re: Biden's Global Initiative Grants 'to Promote Atheism Worldwide' Faces Backlash by bn365: 4:26pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
It's obvious you take me for a dunce when I can clearly see that you're taking quotes online. Atheists lay claims to him and would have you believe he's one of them. Give me quotes from his books with the page/chapter FERNANDEZISBACK: |

Re: Biden's Global Initiative Grants 'to Promote Atheism Worldwide' Faces Backlash by bn365: 4:53pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
Bra, i don't ever pretend to know more than i do know. That's why I'm a Christian. I don't assume to be all-knowing, only God is all-knowing. Atheism claims to know. You have to elevate "Self". Watch Jordan Peterson read Nietzsche's quote "God is dead" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFCWtqPEDAY FERNANDEZISBACK: 1 Like |
