'Duck Dynasty' Star Points To Calendars As Proof That Atheists Don't Exist

Si Robertson, one of the stars of reality television show "Duck Dynasty," said last week that he doesn't believe there are any atheists.

"I don’t believe — there's no such thing as an atheist," he told the Christian Post in an interview published on Friday. "Because there's too much documentation. Our calendars are based on Jesus Christ."

"Whether you believe in Him or not, every time you sign your calendar, you write down the day's date, you're saying He's here," Robertson continued. Robertson also said that in life-and-death situations, atheism ceases to exist. "Because if you get in a serious bind, the first thing you’re going to do is look around and say, ‘Oh (God) please help me.'"

Robertson, a Vietnam veteran spoke to the Christian Post while promoting a new film, "Faith of Our Fathers," which tells the story of two Vietnam veterans.

then have him tell us what the calendar is based on.

Even he should be bright enough to compare 3 single digit numbers.

9. Well, it proves that he's functionally illiterate, at least.

Most of the names of the months are from pagan religions. Days of the week, too.

Moon and Sun days, along with Thor's Day, Saturn day, Juno's month, and lots more.

The months from September on are just based on Latin numbers.

He's just a man of no letters at all, it seems.

What a pile of crap!

And for the record, the last time I was in serious shit, I believe I uttered an 'oh fuck me' and not a cry for mercy from a deity.

I do however, still get a kick when I can make someone else scream out his name.

even I doubt even folks like this are stupid enough to think months and days are related to Christianity.
