Atheists use "unholy water" to ceremonially defile highway
Christian groups had anointed the roadway, asking blessings on those who travel it and for God to protect the community from drug smugglers

So Christians aren't out to change peoples beliefs - wouldn't that be covered by the whole preach the gospel thing. Shouldn't true Christians welcome the free exchange of ideas as Paul appeared to do in the New Testament. Surely untested "blind" faith is the anathema of true Christianity where the emphasis is not on seeking unity but truth. Scientific studies clearly show how easily the human mind can be made to believe things that are untrue; by the use of psychological techniques. This should make Christians more aware of how important it is to put all things to the test - to be open to the possibility that stuff they know just isn't so. Any study of Christian history will show that many beliefs held to be certainties in one era, were then revealed to be fallacies, in later eras. We should not be surprised if some dearly held beliefs today suffer the same fate. If Christians would subject their thinking to the rigorous testing required by the teachings of the bible they would gain much more respect, and a more ready ear, from non-Christians.

I swear that these athiests need to get a life! Are their lives so boring and meaningless that they make an issue about every little thing? They call people who believe in God "bigots" but no one is trying to change their beliefs! Last I heard we don't torture and burn "heretics"! We have freedom of religion here and that means the athiests can believe what they want and the rest of us can believe what we want. The fact of the matter is that they are the bigots who want to force their beliefs on us! As I understand it, one of the objections that athiests have is that a lot of wars are started and kept going by religion. Actually most of the time religion is just used as a rallying point to get people riled up. It has nothing to do with God. These militant athiests are doing the exact same thing, they are using their beliefs to create a lot of needless conflict. Probably so they can feel important. They seem to think that any display of religion is an attack on them. Why? I would love to hear of any legitimate case of persecution against athiests. I have not heard any stories of athiests where they have been physically assaulted for their beliefs, or who have been denied employment, or any of the other criteria where anybody could legitimately claim discrimination. In fact I don't really think that most people even care whether someone is athiest or not! As in most cases of the athiests throwing their tantrums, it is just much ado about nothing.

pmksou: Have you ever checked your facts? The Muslim Allah is the God of Abraham, just like our God. They descended from Abraham just as the Jews did. Also, Buddha is Chinese in origin, not India. Krisna is from India. If you truly believe in the Bible, you would know that the judgement over who goes to heaven and who goes to hell rests solely with God. In fact, you, by assuming to pronounce the judgement yourself, put yourself in danger of hell fire. Is it possible this is an example of you practicing the Doctrine of Jesus where he said to love your enemies?

If anyone tries to defile what God has blessed, he/she is a fool! They are not Christians and they don't believe in God or any God for that matter. They don't attack Muslims because Muslims don't believe in God. They believe in a God called Allah. Indians believe in Buddha. Atheists do not believe in any God and they are headed straight to Hell.

Apparently they must believe there is a GOD, otherwise they would not try to undo the Blessing. How stupid they present them themselves. Why only attack Christians? , if they don't believe in any God why do they not attack Muslim Holy days ? Seems they are the Bigots. But we will continue to pray for the LOST, they can't stop us from doing that for them. God Bless Them!!
