Atheists oppose Pennsylvania having "Year of the Bible"

Christianity is getting more and more pushed away. A leading atheist group is fighting Pennsylvania for calling 2012 "the Year of the Bible." In February 1983, President Ronald Reagan declared "Year of the Bible for America." Similar atheist groups protested but a resolution came that explained that they weren't forcing Christianity. They wanted to reinforce that history does evolve from the Bible as well.

The priest at my church made some great points on Sunday. Society expects Christians to keep our faith silent. It's something to do privately but not something to discuss or act on. Now our President expects Catholics and others to help support abortion and birth control even if it's killing a human life.

I feel very close to Jesus. Most of my decisions (good or bad,) rely on my basic Christian beliefs. I'm not perfect but try to remember what a loving life Jesus led.

Currently, I'm teaching the beatitudes to my PREP class. As I was teaching, I had an epiphany that Jesus was right. If we live by the beatitudes, we will have a happy life.

Loving others, being unselfish, giving to others, respecting others and respecting ourselves lead you to be happy. Jesus Christ knows what He is talking about!
