The Atheist Lifestyle, Not Christianity, Is For the Weak

The Ledger

I find it incredibly interesting that my atheist friends’ billboard along Memorial Boulevard has a background of beautiful blue skies and soft white clouds.

The Bible says in Psalms 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

The very skies that they use for their backdrop give acknowledgment to the existence of a God they say don’t believe in.

The Bible goes on to say in Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so there is no excuse.”

Excluding any biblical support and speaking only from personal experience, I have walked both paths, that of an unbeliever and now a believer. I can say that my “unbelieving” lifestyle was merely an excuse for a lack of moral accountability and a ticket to live life on my terms.

I have come to find out that an overwhelmingly loving God has a plan and purpose for my life that is unexplainably more fulfilling and meaningful than I can have imagined for myself.

The billboard caused me to research the atheistic lifestyle and belief system and most sources took me to its strongest proponent, Madalyn Murray O’Hair. If you Google her you will find very interesting reading of her self-destructive life and violent death, her own grandchild was murdered along with her

In my readings I found that she said that being a Christian is a “crutch” and for “the weak.” I can only say that living a genuine Christian life, that modeling the life of Jesus Christ, takes more guts, more fortitude, more self-discipline, more sacrifice, more self-denial, more forgiveness, more compassion, more humility, more tongue biting (the list could go on and on) than that of any atheistic lifestyle that has no moral standards or absolutes. So to my atheistic friends I humbly surmise that your lifestyle is for “the weak” as it requires none of the self-introspection, personal discipline and accountability that living a genuine Christian life requires.

In conclusion, I feel an overwhelming sadness for my atheist friends who are missing out on the greatest love that a human being will ever experience and buying into the lie that there is no God.

The Bible concludes by saying in Psalms 14:1 “The fool says in his heart there is no God.”

    To live a genuine Christian lifestyle we need to liver under Christ as he is the Captian of our lifes, not other alterative lifestyles.

    Agree with the post and with John in the comments.

    Madalyn Murray O’Hair’s son became a pastor as a young adult and appears to have to come to terms with his mother and the circumstances surrounding her death. I did a few posts on Ms O’Hair on my own blog last summer. Those who are interested can read more here:

    http://churchmousec.wordpress.com/tag/madalyn-murray-o‘hair/

    She was the daughter of a godly Presbyterian. She seemed to do things to upset him (e.g. child out of wedlock, left-wing socio-political activity). Later, she, like many others without faith, idolised money. (Some, like Margaret Sanger, idolise sex.) And, with all this idolatry comes death. Ms O’Hair’s life is a cautionary tale.

    In closing, I enjoy reading your blog and check in a few times a week. You feature a great variety of articles and perspectives. Thank you.

  3. Rod Swift Says:

    It’s easy to try and ‘pick’ one atheist, as you’ve done, and then try to tar-and-feather all atheists based on one person. This is, in essence, a basic and classic straw man argument.

    I note that a small minority of Christians are dead scared of atheist pro-information billboards and signs. For example:
    http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2008/12/11/43711_tasmania-news.html

    Does that mean all Christians are censorious? No, that’d be me constructing a straw man. :)

    Now, back to the topic at hand. There’s probably no god, so stop worrying and start enjoying life.

    Meanwhile, kudos for providing Mr Sunol (an avowed and adjudged anti-gay hatemonger and vilifier) a forum for his silly views. You should know a bit more about your correspondent.

  4. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    Rod Swift is a lair, does not know me and is very vinditive towards me

    Henry Collier died of a heart attack as he knew that he was very wrong in attacking me. He could not take the strain and his heart gave away. Now Henries court cases are finished and I am going to try and show all how this Henry manipulated the law, twisted the law and abused the legal system to get me found guilty of villificaiton on false charges

    Rod, shut your big trap or I will take you on as well buster and I tell you that you will not like it when you attack and come agaisnt God

    I have a twitter page, a facebook page, a blog and a web page I am putting my messages on which show the coming of the Lord trhough speaking on some articles to do with terrorism and other news events.

    John Christopher Sunol

  5. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    I tell you, all aetheist are evil people who attack God Himself, Henry William Collier found out what happens when you attack God when he had a heart attack putting me on false charges and manipulating the law to get me in supreme court.

    This is all I will say concerning this matter but I tell you this

    I AM NOT GOING TO SHUT UP, I AM GOING TO SPEAK OUT LOUD AS I now know that God is with me and nothing can stop me

  6. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    I would like to also put

    I do not attack or hate gays, never have and never will

    It is that those who took me to the ADT (Administrative Decisions Tribunal) did so on false evidence and set me up based on lies that came out of their mouths.

    I refuse to accept guilt, never will and know now that Henry was a wicked man who attacked God, he ended up finding out what happens when you attack God and now he is in front of the Lord answering for all his sins.

    I will not accept what Rod puts out on this page as anything but lies and false propagasnda based on liesl.

    I am not going to change now or ever

  7. Rod Swift Says:

    I notice how John Christopher Sunol claims that the ailing health of an elderly man is somehow proof of his sky god wannabe smiting some ‘judgement’ on him.

    For the record, it’s called the natural processes of life, John.

    Else, if you wish to ascribe some ‘reason’ for Mr Collier’s death, it could be easily arguable that your intractable court battles with him (rather than complying with the law) drove this man to a stressful death — and therefore you are responsible for his stress, and therefore culpable for his heart attack, and therefore his death.

    Would that make you a murderer?

    I wonder what you will say to your sky god in justification for your evil actions, John Christopher Sunol.

  8. Chris Marick Says:

    John Sunol has been emailing me with disgusting comments about gay people and Henry Collier. He is being both disrespectful to Henry’s family and intolerant towards gay people. Here are some examples of his recent emails to me:

    Henry died of a heart attack knowing that he was very wrong in taking me to court through the ADT. He frauduently manipulated the law and told lies to get me registered as a homopbobe.

    I am not going to accept this case now or ever and I am not going to stop doing what is best, Henry is no longer here to take me to court, God made sure of that.

    I am not moved or disturbed about it but now I am free to do as I want when I want and what I like when I like and I surely will. you and no one will stop me

    I am very highly qualified and I agree to dissagree with you over my taxi authority.

    I know that I am a fit and proper person to operate my own busines sin taxi as i am succeeding at the present moment.

    I also know that God wants me to stand for poltiics again and use my skills in marketing myself

    also the mardi Gras is a very evil peice of living shit which is a child molestors and drug dealers paradise. I will not shut up untill the Lord returns to earth again and I refuse to change

    Henry found this out to his detrment.

    this is all I will say to you

    John

  9. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    I will say no more than this,

    Both Rod and this stupid man Chris Marrick are both trouble makers and liars.

    1. I am not a villifiet and I am not willint to accept the outcome of the false cases that they with that of Henry put against me now or ever. Thus being I am I am only willing to accept Gods word

    I genuinely ask the owners of this board, i do not mind if you take down my posts or bann me as i have my own forum to write on, with my own blog

    but

    Please for your own sakes bann this Rod as he is only a trouble maker and lair and it sounds as though Chris is in the Same league.

    You are asking for spammers and hate mongers if you allow this man on your site who is obsessed with that of Homosexuality and his own feelings.

    I wish you all the best and pray that God makes you all successful.

    Thanking you for your assistance in this matter.
    I think it better if I do nto write to your forum any more as I have my own forum I can write to and I have already bannedd Rod and will also bann Christ

    God bless you all

    Yours John

  10. Sophie, Surrey Says:

    @webmaster, it appears that *if* these posters are who they claim to be, and not trolls, John Christopher Sunol has been convicted of hate speech in Australia and is not someone who is likely to contribute helpfully in debate.

    Administrative Decisions Tribunal of New South Wales
    http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/nsw/NSWADT/2005/261.html

    His remarks on the death of Henry Coller are totally out-of-order for a Christian.

  11. Rod Swift Says:

    Sophie:

    Thank you for your comments above. Yes, I am quite happy to attest that I am a real person, and not a troll. I am quite happy for you to have my identity verified by emailing rod at squack dot net (spelled out to stop spam bots).

    Mr Sunol is quite a difficult person to deal with, and if you google him, you will find he has quite an interesting form in peddling slightly out-there viewpoints on sexual orientation.

    Mr Sunol is very real. For example, you will find a link to his twitter feed from his website at http://www.johnsunolstaxiservice.com.au/

    You will also note that you can find his phone number there, if you want to verify he’s real and not trolling.

    You can also see him in video form, and it might put some of his more ‘interesting’ comments in context.
    http://www.youtube.com/temporaryemail

    His more interesting comments on the person at the start of this thread, Mr Henry Collier, is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q401JUhpBtM

    Mr Sunol still shows his Christ-like love, by attacking people like me and Mr Dogwomble. If you want to see him go OFF about this, then jump to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOGRo6TGMvo and jump to about the 1min 40sec mark :)

    I hope this helps.

  12. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    Dear Sofie

    These people are trouble makers who helped Henry set me up. Henry Collier was a very evil man and he set me up

    Do not beleive these people at all, I am not going to write to your web site again as I do not want to

    I have my own web site where I do not mention him.

    http://www.johnsunolstaxiservice.com.au/

    I am also on twitter http://www.twitter.com/JohnSunol

    I speak on the coming of the Lord as He is returning very soon.

    Ignore Rod, He is an online trouble maker and this other person is the same.

    Sorry for this mess

    Please take down my entries and that of Rod and this Chris

    Yours in Christ

    John

  13. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    I do not do hate speech, it is a lie and I was set up

    I can contribute to the debate in full

    Rod Swift is a trouble maker like that of Henry Collier

  14. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    Dear Sofia

    Yes I do agree with you, but you do not know the pain and anguish that this man, Henry Collier put me through, he was a dedicated homosexual activist and a troubel maker who missued the Australian court system to set pre-cedents in Australia. He told lies about me and this case you see on line is full of holes and can be shot down in the supreme court. I have this in order to do it but I might have to withdraw as it will cost me in excess of $60,000 to clear my name where I have spent that already because of these evil people.

    Please do not listen to Rod and/or the Christ as they both are trouble makers and online liars. This case was manipulated and false information put forward by Henry.

    Rod is a dedicated aeithist and trouble maker, online liar and homosexual activist. I do not wnat to mess up your sites so I will not write on this site again but pleae understand this.

    Rod and Henry created the trouble, not me.

    I wish you the best in the Lord and will write no more as i have my own site.

    Yours in Christ

    Moderator, please take down these posts, both mine and that of Rod, except maybe my first post as it is quite OK.

    thanking you very much

    Yours in christ

    John

  15. Caral Says:

    Please do not listen to Rod and/or *the Christ* as they both are trouble makers and online liars.

    Hmmm. A very strange statement, for someone proclaiming that they speak on behalf of Christ.

  16. Chris Marick Says:

    What John Sunlol does not seem to understand is that I don’t care about what his beliefs are, or that he wants to spread them. It’s not like anyone will take him seriously anyway. What I was opposed to was John writing hateful things about a dead man who can not defend himself. I am also against Sunlol writing hateful things about homosexuals and Muslims and that he seems to think freedom of speech gives him a right to say them (even though he blocks anyone from his site who has an opposing view).

    More abuse from John, emailed to me:

    “You are a fool mate, you do not worry or frighten me as I know that I am right

    God has told me that and my acdemic sources are quite acceptable.

    I am not going to stop, end of story and henry found out what happens when a person goes agaisnt myself and it is not in Gods will.

    i beleive he died because he was guilty of setting a person up, namely me.

    I am not going to stop and my blog and writings, with my You Tubes continue on whether you like it or not.

    The only thing is do NOT PUT A PROSTITUTE IN MY TAXI AND GET HER TO STIP OFF AND BRING A ACT ON TO ME. THIS WOULD DESTROY ME AND I WILL CRY IF IT IS DONE.

    I know for a fact that the gay Mardi Gras is a dirty filthy pedoephiles march run by those who have contacts with drug dealers and criminals and i will never accept it or change my idears.

    Also if you think so bad of me

    How then do I have the degrees to work in these areas or was a I a fraud and did not deserve my University degrees. I am also highy qualified to work in marketing

    John C.Sunol. MComm (marketing) UOW, Grad Cert Mark, B.Soc,Sc (Newcastle), Dip Mark Man, Ass dip Soc Sc, Adv Cert drug and alcohol work, Cert Pub rel, TAFE, Dip Min , Th,A.

    I geneuinely have all this behind my name, eventhough I do not use it.

    Henry had a heart attack as He was a very wicked man, He took me unjustly and wrong to the ADT on false charges and found that God has other things to say to him. So the Lord took this man out of out way.

    I am going to be a thorn in the side of many people and have many enemies, i understand that but I am willing to fight it and know that I will win.

    My blog is NOT GOING TO STOP AND NO ONE IS GOING TO STOP IT EITHER

    Unless you can lobby state and Federal government to force people to get a blog register with authorities, have their content edited before it goes in public, I am not going to stop.

    I will fight you lot all of the way as with Henry’s death I believe God is with me and will take out those that come against me.

    Yours,
    John”

  17. Chris Marick Says:

    Also, I find it amusing that John has asked the webmaster if this site to remove all comments that do not show him in a favourable light. He seems to think he can make horrible statements, then control where they are seen. This is not your website John. You can’t manipulate the truth and edit content at your will here.

  18. Rod Swift Says:

    There is one indelible way that you know Mr Sunol is lying — and that is in the way he describes the legitimate court action brought against him.

    Note how he says he was ’set up’. Exactly how? Did Mr Collier make Mr Sunol write the litany of slurry that he wrote? Did he possess Mr Sunol’s fingers and, like some puppetmaster, make him type the hate?

    Of course not.

    Just like Mr Sunol has written the same, hate-filled, evil and nasty anti-gay screeds to Mr Marick. I note they are the same sorts of statements that he made to Mr Collier on the Internet.

    The FACTS about Mr Sunol can be found by searching for his name (John Christopher Sunol) at austlii.edu.au — or just head over to http://www.john-sunol.info and read about the decisions there.

    But through all of this, Mr Sunol blames everyone but himself for his very own actions. Why will this man not stand up and admit he was wrong, acted indecently on the Internet (and still does) and refuses to change.

    No, everyone, John is like a petulant child who is unwilling to admit his mistakes.

  19. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    I am going off this web site.

    I say sorry to the Web master and suggest that they do the right thing by themselves and of God.

    make someone register before they allow comments on their web site, have a mdoerator as well to check all sites and do not be afraid tobann idiots like this Rod Swift or this Chris Marcik. I know these sorts of clowns which I call trouble makers and lairs, are out there. i have experienced it as i found this when Henry was alive and they set me up in teh court systems,.

    I suggest for the moderator of this site,

    1. Make everyone register before they can put entry due to the nature of the net.
    2. Moderate every comment with a moderator to allow just and fair comments, both negative and positive but delete and not allow trouble makers like Rod or that Chris to put anything like this they have put on and destroy your good comment board.

    I will say thisand leave it at that, then just go and carry on writing to my blog, which I do moderate quite heavily and I bann Rod and Christ from being able to put on my message board. I leave it open for all good comments, both negative and postive but do not want it messed up like this board has been.

    I also suggest that a moderator take down all comments by Rod Swift, any geek or anyone that attacks anyone else in such as way and that supid Chris Marck who i think is only a bot and in reality Rod Swift who like me is a real person but he is of a entirely different culture than that of me,

    Rod is a trouble maker, online trouble maker and hate stirrer

    and

    i am his victim.

    thanking you all

    and

    God bless

    if you want o talk to me in person please phone me on the above public work number of mine.

  20. Rod Swift Says:

    A quick summary of John’s last post:

    “I have been exposed as a liar and hatemonger. I will now call the people who have exposed my ‘lies’ liars, even though everything they say is true. And documented. In court decisions. Where I had a chance to mount a defence to the allegations. And I still lost. Now I will take my bat and ball and go home. Wahh, they are picking on me by exposing my past, my form, and my evil hatred.

    The end.”

    [Note, prediction: The last bit -- 'The end' -- probably isn't true. Anyone who really knows John Christopher Sunol knows he has OCD and issues to do with his noggin', and he simply cannot 'end' anything.]

  21. Rod Swift Says:

    Oh, then again, this is a gem:
    http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/nsw/NSWADTAP/2006/51.html (at paragraph 30)

    “30 Mr Sunol’s submissions. The basis on which Mr Sunol sought the Appeal Panel’s leave was that he is not legally trained and that he suffers from “cognitive defects” and “obsessive compulsive disorder”…”

    That’s right, Mr Sunol tried to have entered into evidence that he had cognitive defects and OCD. Mr Sunol clearly has ‘issues’.

  22. Caral Says:

    I suggest for the moderator of this site, Jon Sunol

    Thanks Jon, your comments have been duly noted and duly ignored.

  23. John Christopher Sunol Says:

    It is up to you to delete this rubbish

    This Rod is a stirrer and online trouble maker, I will not write to this site any more as I do not think you are not real Christians.

    These cases that Rod Swift has put to you are duly frauduleent and I have a supreme court case to prove them a set up. Rod is a Liar and I did nto want to mess up this site.

    If you will not take this down I will write to this site no more after this entry and ignore it. I do not think that you are genuine Christians.

    Rod has started this troubloe of fon this and you must realize this.

    I am not going to stop writing but it will be done purely on my own blog which Rod has been banned from with that Christ who is only a bot and realy Rod.

    thanks again

  24. Chris Marick Says:

    How are supreme court documents fraudulent? There is nothing fraudulent about the information Rod has posted. The information is freely and publically available to anyone.

    Amusing that you think I’m a `bot’ John. Do you even know what a bot is?

    People have the right to know the racist, homophobic and disrespectful things you have been writing John. Your problem is you can’t take criticism. You’d better get used to it. If you’re going to write such things, be prepared for debate and backlash.

  25. Chris Marick Says:

    On another note, I think the organisers of the mari gras would be interested to know the slander being printed about them and their event on public, online forums.
    They may wish to take action.
    Clearly Sunol is unrelentless in his vilification of gay people and the mardi gras. I feel the organisers of the event should be informed.

  26. Rod Swift Says:

    Chris:

    You may wish to note that John Sunol has been ordered by the State of New South Wales, Australia, to not post things that are SIMILAR to the vilifying hate speech he has posted.

    And he has no ‘Supreme Court’ decisions saying the ADT action was a ‘fraud’.

    John Sunol is again caught out lying.

    Moreover, though, did you see his double negative?: “I will not write to this site any more as I do not think you are not real Christians.”

    So, therefore, he is not posting here anymore because he thinks the Christians here are real Christians :) He must be one of the fake ones then, eh?
