Atheists to Counter ‘National Day of Prayer' with Blood Donations ------------------ Lifesaving Action, Not Passive Prayer, Is the Message ---------------
What do you do on May 3, 2007, the
“National Day of Prayer,” if you are an atheist, do not believe in
prayer and are opposed to the observance of a prayer day being
imposed on all American citizens?
While Believers are praying on May 3rd,
groups of atheists will go to Blood Banks in scores of U.S.
locales to donate their blood and sign up for organ donation
programs. It is a nationwide action which we hope will point out
that there are alternatives to silently beseeching a deity to
perform miracles.
"We want to make a
public statement about how nonreligious people can observe the
so-called National Day of Prayer, which we have renamed
Gift To Life
Day.
If you want to start a Gift To Life Day in your locale; contact: Ken Bronstein: centerforatheism@aol.org
The Center for Atheism (CFA) was established by the New York City Atheists as a separate and independent national organization to propose, develop, and be a catalyst for new national activities supporting the objectives of atheists, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers, skeptics, secularists and separation-of-church-and-state advocates. CFA will accept and review suggestions from individuals and other secular organizations that will foster our goals. |
