April’s Fools: Tweligionists

Yesterday was April Fool’s Day, when many religious folk  like to regurgitate Psalms 14:1 and 53:1, and call it “Atheists Day.” I decided to post a couple with my own commentary. Feel free to tweet back at them right from here.

Today is National Atheist Day. No coincidence that it's also April Fool's Day. Psalm:14.1 – The Fool says in His heart, "there is no God".—

No shit it’s not a coincidence, you just made it up.

Happy April Fools Day !
My Pastor said it's the holiday for Atheist, because anyone who doesn't believe there is a God is a Fool ! LMAO—

Your pastor sounds like a real hoot! ROFLCOPTER

April 1st is National Atheists Day! "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" Genesis 1:1 =)—

I feel like you don’t understand the joke.

RT @pocothecat April Fools' Day – Atheist's Holiday. Ps. 14:1 A fool has said in his heart "There is no God." #ChewOnThat #fb—

RT @NebraskaAtheist: Several FB friends posting “April Fool’s – Atheist Holiday!” Yeah, you drink a cosmic Jewish zombie’s blood every week..and WE’RE the fools. #ChewOnJesus

For 3 years I've been driving around with this bumper sticker: "NATIONAL ATHEISTS DAY APRIL 1" Always means more the actual day. #Psalm14uno—

This one I actually replied to, saying something like “I’ve been driving with a McCain/Palin sticker for 3 years. Yours is more embarrassing.” He replied by linking me to Ray Comfort.

There has been discussion about whether we should embrace April 1st or not. Sure, why not? You certainly gotta love the irony. @GodlessAtheist gets the last laugh:

Matthew 5:22 "anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell" How many Christianity fails on April 1? #atheism #atheist—
