Instead of focusing on such worthy targets of change -- like rampant drug use, sexual abuse, abortion -- the leftist game plan is being used by at least one group on the Internet to attack ... God.
Godisimaginary.com has posted 50 "proofs" that God does not exist, except in the heads of silly Christians. Christian belief in Jesus and God is compared to children's belief in Santa Claus and is no more real, the site's proponents insist. They then ask others to join them in eradicating belief in God, much as they rid the country of smoking or got women the right to vote.
"There once was a time in America when no woman could vote. Yet, somehow, even though women could not vote, they all have the right to vote today. How did that happen?
"There was once a time in America where the large majority of people smoked cigarettes. Smoking was allowed everywhere -- even on airplanes and in public restrooms. Yet today, smoking is banned in most public spaces, including airplanes. How did that happen?
"The way to change the world is to change people's minds. As more and more people openly discuss the fact that 'God' and 'Allah' are completely imaginary, the world becomes a better place. The people who believe in 'religion' look sillier and sillier. Eventually, religion becomes a fringe activity that is meaningless."
I have a simple question for these atheists. If God is imaginary, as they say, then why are they expending so much time and energy to debunk the belief in Him?
Could it be that they hate Christianity so much because it sheds light on their own sinfulness and their need for forgiveness that only God can provide through His Son, Jesus Christ? That would mean that they are not the masters of their own destiny and, indeed, have no real control of their lives.

This country's biggest threat
The most insidious enemy the U.S. faces is not militant Islam. Neither is it communism, global warming, the economy-ravaging price of oil, or even an invasion by extra-terrestrials.
No, the biggest threat this nation faces is from within. I like to call it "The Attack of the Do-Gooders." You know, those people who think they are acting to preserve Mother Nature, protect those less fortunate or different and defend minority rights so they push for or enact legislation that chisel the garment off Lady Liberty and tie her hands behind her back. They fight for seemingly good causes and are convinced they are doing good -- hence the nickname -- but in reality, they are stripping us of our freedoms, exacerbating problems and eroding the strong foundations of this democracy.
Now they have a standard-bearer whom they can rally behind, a man of great rhetoric but little substance. Barack Obama is great with cliches and might be just as good leading revival meetings, but he has few specific strategies and the ones he does have lead to higher taxes, less freedom and more dependence on foreign oil. And on the foreign policy stage, he is a nightmare. Pulling troops out of Iraq might be a popular move, but it will lead to increased chaos in the Middle East and an increased security risk to the U.S.
The Republican alternative is not a lot better, at least on the domestic front. But John McCain at least is strong on foreign policy and will fight the environmentalists to make us less dependent on Opec.
In lieu of another Jefferson, Adams or Lincoln emerging to turn back the Do-Gooders, that might be the best we can hope for right now.
