Atheists Want Leadership Positions in Christian Organizations

The U.S. Supreme Court is confronted with atheists that want to have “equal opportunity” in Christian organizations. The apparent reason that atheists want to be a part of such religious establishments is so they can control them. Christians are countering the atheists and want the freedom to choose their own leaders on religious grounds. What will the Supreme Court decide?

    I can see the muslims or scientologist letting an atheists on their board. But then again the christians religion is the one and only one to be hated by all who aren't christian. What other religion is everyone trying to shutdown?

  4. Dolores Adams says:

    The athiests do not belong in a Christian organization as they do not believe in God.
    They are trying to take over and ruin our Christian faith.

  5. priscilla says:

    if the government in any way…approves of this..then it is time for all Christians to leave the so called churches…will b hard for the atheist to take part in an underground body of believers…

    I'm a secret atheist who plays the piano/organ at my local church (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoERIL-CsZY). I see Christianity as an art form, a cinema, a museum, a play, a contemplative story time of a good-feel science fiction series. I guess if you're one who actually believes in this stuff, the best you can do is wish things get worse in the world, as a sort of way to prove to yourself Jesus/God is real. But I'll fight for your right to freedom of religion.

  7. Edward says:

    If an atheist wants to attend a Christian organization, let him in.

    What better way to reach him for Christ.

    Just don't let him have a leadership position until he is saved.

    Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, Volcanoes, monstrous fires, horrible winds, atheist in the pulpits, necked women walking the beaches,
    and sometimes on the streets, sodomites nearly everywhere, Christians believing in evolution, children being raped by their preachers,
    and the list can go on and on. Colleges full of fun-seekers, and only a sprinkling of those seeking TRUE EDUCATION. God has abandoned this country and many others, yet He is still protecting the few TRUE Christians that are bold enough to share the truth as it is in Jesus, with THE faith starved that are just waiting and wondering if they can be rescued from the gates of HELL.

    Money, gold, silver, mansions, yachts, the lottery, fornication, consuming monstrous pride, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and every other evil habit the human
    mind is capable of inventing is within 'arms length to the great masses of those that thrive on sin and sinfulness!

    God is very soon going to let the Gates of hell loose, and then the horrors of horrors will erupt. It will NOT be pretty. A "HELL" will be just around every corner.

    Prepare to meet thy God!

    When you see Rome united with the Religions of the world, know that time is VERY short.
    She will demand obedience from ALL THE WORLD! Those that resist her will become
    homeless and hungry. This is the time of the BATTLE between the mark of the Beast
    and the SEAL of God.

    Note:There is to be NO literal 'mark' it is simply symbolic 'language' of whom will be loyal to Rome
    and who will not.

    Real Christians KNOW the SEAL of God, they ALREADY have it in their 'forehead' see Revelation 7:3

    • TJW says:

      then go BACK there!!!!!!!

    • Dave. Fouser says:

      It just might be that you only HEAR about it in America – do you know of any other country that airs its dirty laundry like America? Don't bother answering – with the current administration we'll soon be shut up also.

  11. gary says:

    The spirit of "Anti Christ" is beginning to increase it's push to kill all Christianity so that the world can worship the coming "Beast". We all must beware!!!!!!!!!! We all must be ready!!!!

  12. Tea party Michelle says:

    AMEN to that Tea Party Jim

  13. As an evangelical, white, conservative I am placing my demand to the Supreme Court that I be appointed Co-President of the United States of America. I am not holding my breath.

    The upcoming Supreme Court appointment is critical. The Obama administration is frantic in wanting to get it done before the November elections.

    It appears that we are saddled with this administration at least until 2012. There is one thing that can be done between now and then to bring at least some level of control, Vote in 2010. Vote Conservative, Vote Repeal, Vote for Removal of All unapproved Czars (which they all are). Vote in 2010.

      We are in no position to accept being ‘saddled’. Throw the saddle off — get the unnatural non-citizen out of the President’s chair, and as you say repeal the bad and restore good. Be sure you, your friends are (1) registered to vote, and (2) Vote at every opportunity (it is not an option, but is your duty!)

  14. conservadiva says:

    Do the names Harvard and Yale mean anything to you? They should as they were once theological seminaries teaching young men Biblical truth and turning out a highly literate clergy in America. Funny that they are not doing that today…what happened? If there are even any Christian clubs on the campuses of Harvard and Yale, I would like to know about it. If so, please post. Thanks!

  15. Carmel Vella says:

    What other reason would these real unbelievers have other than to infiltrate , influence , and eventually kill the faith. ?
    DO NOT ALLOW THEM IN>>>>FIGHT THEM FOR YOUR LIFE>>>>>>>>>

  16. AGD says:

    OH WELL, IF THEY WIN, THEN CHRISTIANS SHOULD INSIST ON THE SAME PRIVILEDGE IN ALL ATHEIST ORGANIZATIONS!

  17. E D Stewart Jr says:

    Though Scripture teaches us that unbelievers do not fully understand the Bible, certain unbelievers have been called into very prominent roles by God, Pharoah being the one which most readily comes to mind.

    • Ben Faust says:

      Any Church who would be forced to ordain Pharoah or let him teach Sunday School would have problems… lol… Or perhaps he could just be hired as the teacher of the Christian school's Bible class. "Of course we know the God of the Hebrews isn't any different from the gods of the Egyptians, but here's today's reading from the mythical book called the Bible." God used Pharoah, but he would have no place as a leader in a Christian organization.

    • Lee says:

      It is true that God did use Pharoah. However, Egypt believed in multiple gods and not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Atheism is a johnny come lately religion. Atheists have no place running a Christian organization of any kind!

    • Dave Fouser says:

      God uses Satan with the same effectiveness.
