Christian leaders use Easter to attack atheism

[HuckleB]

Religious leaders have used their Good Friday sermons to launch an attack on what they call a recent surge in atheism.

"Thousands of Christians crowded into churches this morning to mark the solemn Christian festival of Good Friday.

Sydney Anglican Archbishop Peter Jensen told his congregation atheism is not the rational philosophy that it claims to be. Dr. Jensen told the congregation that atheism is as much of a religion as Christianity.

"It's about our determination as human beings to have our own way, to make our own rules, to live our own lives, unfettered by the rule of God and the right of God to rule over us," he said.

"What we're really seeing, once more an example of the contest between human beings and God over who rules the world."

WTF? :banghead:

Is this what Easter is supposed to be about to Christians? :shrug:

I don't think this is representative of Christianity, or Christians, in general, and I hope most DUers agree that these sermons are pure BS.
