Atheists Can't Protest Everything
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen
Buon giorno. Generally speaking, in my experience, readings and so forth... Whenever I hear about atheists in the news, they're up to mischief.
Most of these things have a flimsy excuse, a misinterpretation of the spurious Constitutional "wall of separation of church and state". Oh, sure. It's in the Constitution, all right. Article 124 of the Soviet Union.
However, there are a few things that they can cry and fuss all they want, they cannot be changed.
First, the reading from Genesis on Apollo 8 has been immortalized:
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

- Crosses on roads in Utah to honor fallen troopers are protested
- Fighting the "National Day of Prayer"
- Ray Comfort's special edition of their sacred text, Origin of the Species, enrages them
- Street sign "Seven in Heaven Way" honoring fallen firefighters from September 11 is protested
- On that note, atheists are trying to block the September 11 World Trade Center cross from being used in the memorial
- Attempting to block the restoration of a huge cross in Illinois
- A California war memorial cross is forced away
- Protesting a Sunday morning meeting at Answers in Genesis
- Signs directly attacking God and Christianity at Christmas time
- Suing over the reading of Genesis 1 on the Apollo 8 moon mission in 1968

There's more that they can't touch — literally.
There are followers of Jesus who have been on space missions. What I think will be the biggest irritant of all is the fact that Bibles were taken on NASA missions to the moon. Although they were on microfilm, Edgar Mitchell had the written Word of God with him on the moon. Also, the Lord's Supper was observed on the lunar surface. Dave Scott left a Bible on the Rover on the Apollo 15 mission, and the astronauts did a brief but touching ceremony for astronauts and cosmonauts who had died . Guess if atheists want to protest, they can do it all they want. But if they want that Bible removed, they'll have to go and get it. Not that they'll get popular support, capice?

How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?
