Tropisms: Why Atheism Is Dumber Than A Stump
by Bucktowndusty
Atheism states that humans are random, gaseous mixtures of nitrogen, oxygen and other contaminants, and that no entities exist outside of physical nature. Thought is a property of matter, not a gift from some heavenly being, they profess. Yet, studying the simplest of life forms such as plants makes it impossible for me to believe in such an ism.
Plants exhibit a behavior called “Phototropism” where they bend towards light. Plants produce hormones called “auxins” that speed up the growth in cells on the shady side of the plant which makes the plant bend toward the light source. Throughout the day, plants track the movement of the sun and make adjustments to match their tops to capture the optimum amount of energy. Plant roots practice the opposite &mdash Hydrotropism &mdash where they grow towards water.
So, Atheists... why do plants exhibit such behavior? The most likely answer will be that they do it to survive. But how do plants, life forms without brains, understand the concept of survival? Answer: they don’t, but whatever designed them does!
Think about it. Somehow plants understand the concept of energy. They use photosynthesis to capture it. Somehow they know there’s an energy source some 93-million-miles away that moves throughout the day, which they track for optimum energy intake. This demonstrates knowledge of matter, Astronomy, geometric angles, and energy efficiency. But, how could plants understand energy without brains and Chemistry degrees? How could plants know Astrology without telescopes? How can they understand angles without protractors? How can they precisely match the sun’s progression through time and space without watches and GPS? Answer: They can’t, but whatever designed them can!
It gets better. Most roots grow in the opposite direction from the sun toward water. Mind you, water falls from the sky and enters the ground through a concept known as gravity. But, how do plants understand the physics of gravity without having apples fall from trees and hit them in their non-existent brains to enlighten them? How do plants know that water is one of the keys to life and they should soak it up greedily, instead of, say, some liquid beverage developed by Atheists that they may randomly spill nearby? Answer: they don’t, but whatever designed them does!
To me, there’s nothing “random” about any of this.
Atheism was created to sooth people that struggle to answer the question “why”. Atheism gives its practitioners a way out &mdash a way to disconnect themselves from their manufacturer, and their burden of proof. Religions were created to sooth people that struggle to answer the question “why”. Religions give their practitioners a way in &mdash a way to connect with their manufacturer, and his tranquility of truth.
Understanding this distinction, I choose to embrace religion &mdash making me, at least, as smart as a plant. And, if I were to say, “Embracing Atheism makes one as dumb as a stump, but equating Atheists with stumps would be an unfair, upward promotion,” would Atheists understand? Answer: they wouldn’t, but whatever designed them would get a good laugh.

Now You See Um, Now You Don't

The victorious, out of control, reactions of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed remind me of Maryland’s former governor elect, Glendenning, a few years ago, when on the morning after the election he stood before the television cameras and announced, “I can’t believe it, I’m really the governor of Maryland,” as though it was the first and only surprise birthday party he ever had. How amateurish. Similarly, Pelosi’s plastic smile projected the enlightenment of a twelve-year-old awakening one morning to discover that, overnight, she had mysteriously sprouted size thirty-six-D breasts. And Harry Reed? For sure, he stood before the press and peed in his pants.
Halleluiah! Now that the Democrats are in charge of our congress the skies over Washington D.C. will light up with the festive red glare of rockets. The people have spoken and the Democrats will get down to work passing earth-shattering, mind-numbing legislation like free school lunches for needy kids whose parents are unionized and earn fewer than two hundred thousand dollars per year. Likewise, they’ll hail their greatness by raising the minimum wage for illegal immigrants to seven dollars per hour and amnesty for overtime. With each of these celebratory conquests they’ll summon news conferences and show their giddiness as they did when they tinkled in front of the cameras for skunking the Republicans. I don’t know, but some how, their greatness escapes me.
The truth is, Democrats can’t carry Bush’s jock strap. President Bush, on the battered side of the isle, had to deal with a couple of wars, hurricanes, floods, fires, proliferation of nuclear weapons, rogue South American dictators, left nuts, right nuts and THOSE who have waged political war against him for the past five years. THOSE, of course, only criticize, as THOSE haven’t the faintest idea how to deal with the multitude of complex problems that Bush has had to deal with – especially the war in Iraq where what you see is not what you get.
A case in point is how to deal with peace-loving Muslims who run behind bushes as mild-mannered Clark Kents and emerge in red and blue suits as terrorist Supermen. That is to say, how do you deal with Muslims who run behind bushes as mild-mannered, peace-loving Muslims garbed in white sheets, carting peened-copper goods and emerge, without the cart of peened copper goods, still garbed in white sheets, but with their heads (except their eyes) wrapped in hound’s-tooth cloth and carrying AK47s and RPGs? After they murder a few dozen innocent woman and children who are eating their free lunches, they run back behind the bushes, remove their hound’s-tooth cloth, hide the AK47s and RPGs and emerge again as mild-mannered peace-loving Muslims garbed in white sheets, carting peened-copper goods. So tell me again Democrats, what were all those simple solutions you had for winning the war in Iraq?
Time will tell, but if I were to run behind a bush as mild-mannered A. Hamilton, garbed in Levis and a T shirt that pleads, “Stop Hillary Now,” and emerge garbed in white sheets wearing sandals, Id say of those who voted for the Democrats in the last election, “Forgive them Father, for they know not what the didith.”
