Atheists Use Video Showing Churches Burning & Bloodied Cross to Promote Army-Sponsored Concert

Why in the world would atheists be using a music video that celebrates the burning of churches and bloodied crosses to promote an upcoming music festival? While a viable answer to this question is hard to fathom, this is exactly what’s going on as non-believers prepare for “Rock Beyond Belief,” a massive Army-sponsored music festival occurring at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

Before we get into this bizarre video, let’s have a refresher surrounding how this atheist music festival came to be. Following a concert that was put on by a Christian group on the base in September 2010, you may recall that military atheists were offended. They began claiming that skeptics, too, deserve an event that celebrates their non-belief. So, after making a ruckus, the military agreed to give $50,000 toward “Rock Beyond Belief” (the same amount had been allocated for the Christian concert).

The event, slated for March 31, will feature various musical acts who celebrate the notion that there isn’t a God governing the universe. Additionally, there will be speakers, a rapper who promotes evolution and more. But it is one band called Aiden that is getting the most attention for its participation in the festival.
The rock group has a song called “Hysteria.” On the “Rock Beyond Belief” web site the tune is dubbed an “atheist anthem.”

Here’s the problem: The song has some troubling lyrics and the video for it includes burning houses of worship, a bloodied cross and other troubling images. Here’s how the song opens:
Love how they burn your synagogues
Love how they torch your holy books
Filling coffers with your grief
Filling coffins with your misery
Faith holding outright criminals safe
This is just the world we live in
Can you justify the pain
The death of fiction will save us all
And here’s the music video for the tune:
This, in itself, is odd, especially considering that this event is intended to be family-friendly. Will these be the sorts of images and performances that families will be subjected to?
It’s not entirely clear, but at one point in the band’s music video there are images of a cemetery. It appears to be a military cemetery. The lead singer, who throughout the video is dressed in clerical fashion, stands among the regimented headstones. One shot frames the cross at the top of one tombstone. Are they literally mocking the faith of dead soldiers?
In another song, called “Crusifiction,” the band sings:
Let me give you a little inside information about God
He’s laughing his sick fu**ing ass off
He’s a tight ass
He’s a sadist
Worship that? [...]Fu*k your God
Fu*k your faith in the end
There’s no religion
According to Justin Griffith, the organizer of the atheist festival, this latter song will not be played at the concert. Still, he defended the controversial video that has been posted on the “Rock Beyond Belief” web site.
A spokesperson for Fort Bragg says that there will be an examination of song and concert content prior to the performances. Unacceptable language and themes likely won’t be allowed.

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 9:49amOne of the differences between good and evil:
Good doesn‘t force you to believe or disbelieve it’s your choice and the choosing is improtant.
Evil is about removing choice and forcing you go believe what they believe or not believe.
Another difference is that Good gives Evil takes.
So lets say Athiests are correct and religion is a crutch for sad lonely people that need the comfort,

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 9:58amVery well said.
Personally I don’t care what you believe in as long as it makes you a better person and is not causing you to go out and cause harm on society. If you want to worship tomatoes, I would be happy to plant one for you. In the same token, I don‘t want to be bothered about my beliefs if they don’t match yours. Can we talk? Sure. Try to pressure me, it won’t happen.
I see that there will be a time coming that those in power will try to outlaw religion in America. They will start with Judaism, then go to Islam, then to Christianity, and finally get around to the non-Abrahamic religions. The government will be our new religion. That scares me.

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 10:38amSo, if atheism is a religion, like the Army just proved with its equal time/money, then it can not be taught in public schools. If it is, then other religions must be given equal time. The state can not promote the religion of non-belief in G-d over the religions of belief in G-d, if it is to remain consistent.

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 12:37pmMannax, you have a lot right except Islam will survive by sheer force, they will kill all non believers and they already occupy positions in our government that set policy. Because Christians and Jews have traditionally, at least since I’ve been alive (67yrs) been a positive benign influence for good. You don’t see Christians preaching and telling people to go out and do the wrong thing! It’s always about trying to be a better person and if you fail try and try again. What in the world is so threatening to atheists about the Golden Rule and hope for redemption? No one is forcing it on them. I certainly hope that the Christians on the base show up in force to be quiet, good mannered witnesses for the forces of good and love.

take a large portion of Pride and work it into a large shape for the filling. It should be pungent with Arrogance to the smell. This is how you know it is ripe.
Rebellion will be the base of the filling. It should saturate each other ingredient, so be generous with it.
Hatred is a sharp spice that will cut through the other flavors. Use it, but be careful or it may become distasteful to some sensitive eaters. You want as many people to eat this as possible. Be discerning with the Hatred.

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 11:37amSome atheists and many Christophobes love to point out only the hypocrisy and violence of the the Church (churches) since the Emperor Constatine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD. Christophobes ignore the enormous good the Church has accomplised over almost 2,000 years since Pentecost in charity, philosophy, ethics, education, art, architecture, music, literature, history, and much more. Atheists have their bloody history too: The French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, Mao’s Comnunist Revolution after 1949, Castro’ Cuba, etc. I can‘t think of even a one example of any enormous good atheism has done for Western Civilization when compared to Christianity and it’s cultural achievements. This concert isn’t a meeting of atheists using a rock concert to discuss and enjoy rock music with lyrics to share their disbelief. It’s a goverenment sponsored hate rally against Jews and Christians with Islam being noticably left out of the lyrics “sung” by this so called rock band. If Aiden really wants to shock and has the courage of it’s non believing convictions they should use a Muslim symbol, the crescent moon dipped in blood for example, and wait and see what kind of reaction Muslims have.Why doesn’t atheism have any concept of praise and joy for their disbelief as believers do for their belief?

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 6:19pmHave you ever read an atheism book? Or watched an atheist talk on youtube? It usually focused MAINLY on Islam. Christianity gets a lot of attention because it is domestic. Atheists have to live with Christianity being forced on them from all sides. Islam is more of a distant threat. But the main proponents of atheism, such as Dawkins, the late Hitchens, and Sam Harris, target Islam more than any other religion.

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 9:35amIt is interesting that atheism needs to attack religion. If they really believe that this is all there is then they and a tremendous advantage in that they can make their own morality. Therefore lying and really any thing they want to do is just a matter of will I be caught will anyone know. This should give them the advantage to do what ever is needed to get ahead in any way.They fear religion and especially Christianity. Christianity and it’s belief in the free will of choice is antithetical to there very being. It is the belief that a greater being (God) has stated what is good and evil. This is the exact sin of Adam to eat the apple to be God or God like. Since the belief in Christianity through this belief and philosophy will essentially be a stabilizing factor. It does not fit their into their system. It becomes the classic battle between good and evil. It has been this way in the past and will continue into the future. Obviously it would take a more detailed dissertation to completely explain all that is behind their conflict with religion so if any one is truly interested start reading some of the old religious philosophers, It is the same conflict we face with communism and its ties to atheism. It is their religion if you will.

The argument from ignorance that so many modern day believers make is that there was nothing before the big bang.. It’s amazing to me 100s of years ago christians would never believe the universe is expanding from a starting point billions of years ago.. now most do accept that and yet they find another angle to defend their fairy tale. Scientists don’t know anything about how the big bang started, but the fact that so many christians just assume nothing existed before the big bang is a testament to how faith can shut down thought.

It is the only way of life that really works and has a destination beyond this life based upon whether a man or a woman has received Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour, and begins to live their life empowered by the Holy Spirit according to the Word of God.
Unfortunate that you continue to deny that there is a God, the one and only true God, who for your information, has also permitted man to discover science and learn more about the world that God has created.
You too can find truth, which comes only from and through God. Until you find truth, you will neither ever be completed or gain entrance into the Kingdom of God.
A day will come when you meet the one and only true God. Better to meet Him now while you are on the right side of the grass rather than after you are placed on the other side of the grass. The consequences of your decision to receive Him as Lord and Savior now while livig will make all the difference in the world as to where you spend eternity.

I believe in God and Jesus but I don’t believe the theology that says you must be “born again” before you die or you will go to Hell.

Your problem is, you apparently haven’t sat down with yourself and really thought deeply about the nature of “creation” and consciousness. If you had, you might have considered whether matter creates consciousness or the other way around. I don’t need the Bible to tell me God exists, I have reasoned it out with my awareness and *conscious perception.* You don’t need a Bible to do that for you.
But all of that is perhaps over your head. All you want to do is argue over silly, simplified theological points based on fundamentalist interpretations of the Bible. Well, I’m not a fundamentalist, and I don’t think what we “believe” has any bearing on whether God exists or what He’s really like. The evidence for God is right there in your own head, with your own *awareness.* Anyone who honestly thinks a bunch of brain cells can create *awareness* is kidding themselves. Science tries to explain it, but it falls way short.
Go read Eckhart Tolle or something. Not Christian, not Biblical, and probably heretical to some folks here, but he at least can teach you something about your own consciousness.

I don’t claim knowledge over anything I am not certain about. And, I’m certainly not going to come to any faith based “wishful thinking” esque conclusions based on my 5 senses or anything man has had to say about it in history. The thought.. Just the “thought” mind you of a loving creator etc is a “good thought” Doesn’t make it true. Awareness may be a mystery still but your argument about consciousness being divine is such a strawman. If our consciousness was so damn divine, then you would not require a brain to manifest it. Getting shot in the head and surviving would not render you a vegetable. You walk around with your functional brain and say wow, this is so amazing.. Well lets see how you perceive everything after someone drops an anvil on your head. Even if the supernatural is true, that doesn’t make one iota of what religion has to say about it true. You can trick your emotions and believe whatever you want..

the jews always broke God’s commandments..its why they were handed over to the Babylonians….and the Assyrians…..you don’t know your history very well do you now?? laughable.
given the history of the jews in the OT, you would be far wiser to do exactly the opposite of what the jews do….who killed their own prophets? who made the golden calf?

Think about what I write in multiple contexts, it applies and is non-violent.
You are accusing christians of burning christian churches and for when non-christians burned Jewish churches in Germany, (read your history I lived there), it really takes away from you argument when you do that.
Just because a person goes to a christian church does not make them a christian and christians are forbidden to do such things. Ergo if they ARE burning churches they are NOT Christians.
If your just repeating what you were taught you might wonder why they sent you out so unprepared.
Why didn’t they tell you Hitler was bringing back the old German religions?

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 3:32pmAtheism was the state “philosophy” of the USSR. None of the revisionists here can dispute this fact. After 1917 tens of millions of believers, “counter revolutionaries”, immiginary spies, free thinkers, anyone who dared disgree in any way shape or form with the Soviet athiest state were arrested then shot or sent by the millions to die in labor camps in Siberia and other locations in the USSR. Jefferson’s concept that “we are endowed by our CREATOR with certain unalienable rights…” never existed in the minds of the Marxists who created the USSR who hated people as individuals with rights and a soul. The Nazi’s were Nordic pagans who hated Christ as a “weak effeminate Jew”. Unfortunately a lot of stupid German Christians, Protestants and Catholics, thought more of their pagan nationalist masters than they did of their faith in God and cooperated with this evil pagan concept. The Nazi’s hated Christianity. Hitler in his conversations, later written down, promsied that after Germany won WW II and had exterminated all Jews for racial reasons next on their hate list for total persecution and eradication were Catholics and Protestants in Germany and the rest of Europe. Of course they weren’t going to kill them, that would have been a waste of “good” European genes. Only their leaders, then they would erase the churches through persecution and brainwashing the youth of Europe to hate religion . Hitler would be pleased to see how Europe has lost it’s Christian faith

I think a “religion” with beautiful buildings and architecture to serve as a gathering point and social locus of the community, with an emphasis on philosophy, debate, teaching, education, character development, reflection, and morality is a very worthwhile and hitherto under represented institution.

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 9:22amTO SUSIE: Have you ever actually become a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ? Charles Stanley said there are two types of faith: intellectual faith and saving faith. If you merely believe in Jesus Christ with your mind, it means nothing; even the demonic spirits know He is Lord. You have intellectual faith if you are attending church as a social obligation or have believed in Jesus “all your life”.
Saving faith is when you can point to a time when you humbled yourself and agreed with God that you are a sinner. You asked God to save you because you understand from reading or hearing the Word of God that you can only be reconciled to God through acceptance of Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross for you, that He did for you what you could never do for yourself through good works. You must acknowledge that Jesus was raised from the dead and spent 40 days among His disciples and over 500 witnesses after His resurrection, and know with all your heart and mind that Jesus Christ is who He said He was–God Himself and the only Savior of mankind. And you must repent of and turn away from your sins and rebellious lifestyle. Only then can you be saved, have your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, receive the Holy Spirit, and be given the right to be called a child of God. There is only one path to God: believe in Jesus Christ with all of your heart and mind.

“How can atheism be a religion when an atheist doesn’t believe in religion? Isn’t that a paradox? Isn’t that hypocritical?”
Some atheist are not religious. But, there are some atheist who belong to churches and there are legally ordained ministers, who can perform every task that a clergy member can perform such as preaching to a congregation, access to hospitals and prisons, weddings, funerals, commitment ceremonies, use of reserved parking for clergy, etc.
Atheism is simply the disbelief in God/gods/deity. Atheistic religion is a religion without a God/gods/deity as the basis for their belief structure. Atheistic religion belief structure is based on science, reason, thought, compassion.
Such as the First Church of Atheism which is “Dedicated solely to ordaining atheists so that they too may perform ceremonies previously performed by religious men.”
Isn’t that a paradox? Isn’t that hypocritical? Possibly. Some atheist say yes, it is. Some atheist say, no it is not.
