IRRATIONAL RESPONSE SQUAD

by David J. Stewart

Jude 1:15, “To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

       There is not a more Godless and evil group today than the Rational Response Squad (RRS), a group of atheists who have launched a website called The Blasphemy Challenge (which offers to send people a DVD if they post on Youtube.com a video of themselves condemning themselves to Hell).  "There's only one catch: We want your soul," the website states. "It's simple. You record a short message damning yourself to Hell, you upload it to YouTube, and then the Rational Response Squad will send you a free 'The God Who Wasn't There' DVD." 

The website states... "You may damn yourself to Hell however you would like, but somewhere in your video you must say this phrase: 'I deny the Holy Spirit.'" "Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, 'Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.'" 

Those are all actual quotes from their website.  Can you imagine such hatred for God and the Bible?  God will not be mocked (Galatians 6:7).  The Rational Response Squad website promotes such blasphemies as The God Who Wasn't There Movie, Jesus is for Suckers T-shirts, Infidel Guy Radio, Jesus is a Mythicist Campaign, and the Sense & Goodness Without God book.

ABC Nightline ran a story on these blasphemers, getting the attention of evangelist Ray Comfort.  This led to an ABC Nightline Face Off, in which Brian Sapient of the Rational Response Squad actually called Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron "TERRORISTS."  That's pretty scary folks?  When professed Christians are being labeled as "terrorists" on national TV, something is very wrong.  Read what Rosie O'Donnell said about Christians. 

Tragically, many Americans do NOT appreciate what God has done for them, and have NO gratitude.  Very few Americans truly appreciate God enough to live right. 

The ABC Nightline Face Off took place in New York City...

It was a warm Saturday night in New York City as a mixed crowd of atheists and Christians converged on Calvary Baptist Church in midtown Manhattan for the first "Nightline Face-Off." And it wasn't long before temperatures began to rise inside the auditorium.

The question for our debate was "Does God Exist?" and both sides went at the issue with a series of passionate declarations and critical attacks on the arguments of their opponents. It was a clean but unflinching contest.

Former child star Kirk Cameron and his evangelist colleague Ray Comfort had pledged to prove the existence of God, scientifically. Cameron and Comfort run an organization called the Way of the Master, which comprises a Web site and cable television show, all focused on preaching what they say is the truth of Christianity.

Ray Comfort did make good on his promise to prove the existence of God, using various arguments.  He held up a painting of Mona Lisa and pointed out to the audience that there must be a painter if there is a painting.  Only a fool would say otherwise.  Of course, the atheists laughed at him in disagreement.  Well, they won't be laughing in Hellfire.  Mr. Comfort pointed out that creation itself was scientific proof of God.  And by the way, this is exactly what Romans 1:20 states...

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."

Don't miss the last part of the verse... SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE!  You have no excuse!  Biblically, there is NO such thing as an atheist.  In the early stages of a child's life, they recognize that there must be a God, a Divine Creator.  It is public school brainwashing, with the lies of Evolution, that blind children to the truth.  I want you to think about something, which if you'll be honest, PROVES that evolution is a lie. 

Here's the thought... children must be taught Evolution or they would never believe such nonsense.  A child who sees, hears, feels, touches, and tastes God's creation doesn't need to be taught that there's a Divine Creator.  It is obvious knowledge!  Evolution must be taught, because nothing in nature supports it's claims, i.e., it doesn't come natural.  Evolution is a cleverly crafted system of lies to counter the Word of God.

During the ABC Nightline Face Off, Brian Sapient said that creation just happened.  Now that is just ridiculous folks!  I agree with Kirk Cameron... "It takes more faith to be an atheist than it does to be a Christian."  There is not one legitimate shred of evidence in support of Evolution.  Psalm 19:1 states...

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."

Interestingly, Ray Comfort has written a book titled, God Doesn't Believe in Atheists.  By the way, I am not a fan of Ray Comfort, as he teaches damnable Lordship Salvation.

The atheist's website... at http://www.rationalresponders.com, has much profane cursing on it in the videos.  The overwhelming theme of the Atheist's website is destructive, trying to disprove the existence of God. 

At the end of the BLASPHEMY CHALLENGE video, a woman boasts "I deny the Holy Spirit and I'm not afraid."  Well young lady, you will be... YOU WILL BE! 

"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2nd Thessalonians 1:8). 

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:15).

"Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men..." (2nd Corinthians 5:11)

Hell is for unbelievers...

"But the fearful, and UNBELIEVING, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death" (Revelation 21:8)

The Atheists at BLASPHEMY CHALLENGE.COM are correct about one thing... they have committed the unpardonable sin.  There can be no salvation other than through Jesus Christ (Acts 4:10-12).  If you blaspheme the Holy Spirit's conviction by deliberately rejecting the Savior, then you are hopelessly lost in your sins.  Ye are fallen from grace, i.e., you've passed up your only ride to Heaven.

The Irrational Rational Response Squad will one day bow on their faces before Jesus Christ...

"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

The Laws of Thermodynamics state that energy can be neither created, nor destroyed.  Brain Sapient attempts to use this scientific fact to discredit the Biblical account of creation.  Mr. Sapient alleging that God could not have created something out of nothing, for in doing so He would have violated nature's laws.  However, it must be noted that Mr. Sapient's reasoning is from the perspective that the Bible is not the World of God.  The Bible states in 2nd Peter 3:5...

"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old...

Here is the entire creation account in one simple statement... that by the word of God the heavens were of old.  God literally SPOKE this universe into existence, i.e., Jesus Christ, by His own Divine Power, spake everything into existence (John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:14-16).  Man was the only exception, whom God lovingly formed with His own hands from the dust of the earth.  What a Wonderful God.  It is unbelievable, that a 20 or 30-year old pipsqueak would dare attack the honor, integrity and very existence of God. 

To say there is NO God is an absolute statement, which is impossible for a person to prove.  There is no way that any one person could know everything.  I laugh when I hear astronomers say that only 10% of the universe has been discovered.  How do they know that?  Maybe it's 1%, or .0000001%, or 100%.  Truthfully, they DON'T really know.  No one does except God.

I find it interesting that many of the same people who claim to be atheists also believe in aliens.  By definition, God is an alien, i.e., He exists beyond this earth's atmosphere.  Could not your alien be God?  This is a good argument for atheists.  If you claim there is NO God, but you believe in extraterrestrial life, then you have contradicted yourself horribly.  I'll tell you something else that's interesting, MOST of your atheists are young folks.  Look at the people behind the BLASPHEMY CHALLENGE video and website... their kids!  Well, kids to me at least.  It's interesting that most atheists are younger folks, who are either in college or just graduated (brainwashed with worldly thinking). 

You see, most people wise up as they grow older and experience life.  I can guarantee you that those blasphemous websites will disappear one day, when those children grow up.  I don't see too many 70 year old men and women aggressively supporting atheism.  Oh, but how many wonderful dear saints of God are in their silver years, clipping coupons from years of serving the Lord. 

If you'll open your heart, and not just your eyes, you'll see the wonders of God all around you.  In one of the Atheist's videos on http://www.rationalresponders.com, a young woman states, "I can't feel God, can't see God, can't touch God, and can't hear God... so why should I believe in God?"  I suppose she doesn't believe in gravity either, because you can't see it.  The truth is that we can see God, if we want to acknowledge Him.  Nature itself declares the goodness and omnipotence of God (Psalm 19:1).  Our own human body is incredibly complex, yet amazingly simple. 

The human eye is absolutely astounding.  Mankind can't even repair a damaged spinal cord, let alone create a life.  Yet, we kill millions of babies and destroy life that ONLY GOD CAN GIVE.  It hurts me to see young people blaspheming God, and denying the Holy Spirit.  Those brats need to see what it's like to grow up in a Communist nation, with no freedom, little food, and contaminated water.  It's amazing how many people fall on their knees to God when disaster strikes, as did the folks on the sinking Titanic.  We are a spoiled nation in America, and many of our children out-of-control brats. 

Sadly, yesterdays brats are today's adult, so we have a nation of spoiled brats.  And that's a good word... "brat" (i.e., a troublesome child).  America is plagued with brats, who arrogantly shake their fists at God in rebellion, flaunting their sins, and openly blaspheming His precious holy name.  Woe unto America!
