Atheism is defined by Webster's New World Dictionary as, "1. the belief that there is no God, or denial that God or gods exist. 2. godlessness". An atheist, therefore, is a person who believes that there is no God. But what does the Bible say? The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. [SIZE=-1]PSALMS XIV:I[/SIZE] Atheism is a belief system that ardently denies the existence of God. God calls the atheist a FOOL. Many atheists spend much time and effort attempting to "disprove" that God exists. According to Romans chapter 1 they know that He exists, but they want to control their own lives and not submit to the Lord. They are actually rather tragic figures just like any other unsaved individual. It is hard to live out their atheism--if they did, they'd actually be considered crazy like O'Hair was. The atheist's RELIGION (which is simply a system of beliefs based on a philosophy) of atheism is simply a way to try to block out and override the truth--the ol' ostrich-head-in-the-sand technique: If you try to tell 'em the truth, they say "Shut up!" stick their heads in the ground and shout-- "There's nobody there, there's nobody there, there's nobody there, I tell you! See, I can't see 'em!" Well, atheist reader, Somebody is there and His truth has stood from the beginning of time and will continue for all eternity. God is not dependent on you in any way. Blasphemies, wars, famines, and political appointments come and go, but when the dust settles, there's Jesus. And there is nothing you can do about it but breathe out hot air. You will humble yourself before the Lord Jesus or you will be ground to powder. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. --Jesus Christ Matthew 21:44Most atheists have what I call the Don Quixote Syndrome. Let me explain. Cervantes wrote a book about Don Quixote a long time ago. Don Quixote would attack windmills as if they were his enemies. Of course a windmill is nobody's enemy. If what the atheist believes is REALLY his belief, then he would leave people like me alone. After all, if God did not exist, He and His followers would be no enemy to the atheist. We'd just be deluded people. Therefore IF the atheist REALLY believes there is no God and the fool attacks a Christian, then he has the Don Quixote Syndrome because the Christian is not his enemy. Nevertheless, God is real and THAT is why atheists have all these organizations and debates to "prove" that God does not exist. Atheist reader, if you would just be true to what you purport to believe, then you wouldn't have the Don Quixote Syndrome. My old pastor once ministered to an old atheist who had been a card-carrying atheist for decades--but as he laid on his death bed, he wanted a pastor. I don't know if he got saved or not. When it's time to die, many atheists are understandably uneasy and those that aren't should be terrified. There is hope for the atheist. He can be saved. In fact, there are plenty of atheists that have come to Jesus Christ. I refuse to argue with them, but will answer honest questions. Unfortunately, many atheists ignorantly say hard things against the Lord Jesus Christ and His people. Don't let fancy titles and big words shake your faith in the One who holds your eternal destiny. Think about this: What does the atheist have to offer you? Eternal life? Spiritual comfort? Love? Kindness? Comfort in the midnight hour when no one is around? No, none of these. He has nothing to offer you but blasphemy, hell fire and the wrath of God. The atheist will tell you fabulous fairy tales like you were spontaneously generated from a rock, a monkey is your daddy, a fish is your cousin, you have no hope, you should just live for today, when you're dead, you're dead.If you follow their ignorant advice and die without Christ, you WILL forever regret it and you will remember that someone told you the truth and you scoffed. Atheists try their hardest to argue a fact that is firmly established--God is real. You cannot look on His creation and its ways and honestly deny it. I won't argue that 2+2=4 and I won't argue that God exists. An atheist once wrote and said, "2+2 is not necessarily 4". Well, write any other number on your math test and see if you get it right. The bottom line is that athieism is a false belief system composed of fools--it's not new--the Bible told us about atheism thousands of years ago. Is there a real atheist? No. The closest thing to it is someone who has told themselves a lie so many times that they begin to believe it's true. !
Aside form this being parroted from elsewhere, this is an ironic statement considering you called them out into the Sanctuary. I look forward to your Catholic diatribe.
This article was taken from Jesus is lord . com how does that take away any truth of the message ? Hm ?
Can we have some direct communication from the spirit that is you as opposed to cut and past that you find relevant?
The word god is a derivation of the wood good. Your good is your god. Not one of us wants anything but our good based on our model of what good looks like.
did ya mean the word! good.goodness i see in people everyday,has nothing whatsoever ta do with any god.
I believe this might not be an honest attempt at a religious argument, but a form of demonstration, efficiently presenting every flaw common in an argument for or against religion, philosophy or political view in a compact format: It uses lot of straw-man arguments: It simplifies the opponent by stating falsely that they are of one mind, of one association. It misrepresents the things they tend to believe and greatly simplifies their beliefs to make them sound foolish. It uses arguments that also work against it: It claims that atheists attacking religion, which some but not all do, proves that they are in denial, while it is attacking atheism, by it's own logic this should prove the writer is in denial of his/her own doubt. It uses circular logic: X is true, because X is true, those that don't believe X are wrong because X is true. This argument is like a template for an argument using nothing, you could plug in any two competing ideas as the pro and con and it would remain equally effective, with only a little creative work in writing the portion with the simplified beliefs.
Believe in whatever flavour of sky pixie you like, but the concept that good can't exist without a god is rather distasteful. I don't to belief in something that I can't see to set my morals.
the word god is just a name for a supposedly supernatural being that nobody can ever proove the existence of. the word good means just being a decent human being.
As you like, but there are experiential conjugations for every word that we speak, and a word is meaningless without those experiential conjugations. There is a capitalized word God whose symbol represents a supposedly natural being. There is a word god, without capitals, which has more generous interpretations, more latitude of meaning. My discourse is offered to demonstrate the practical result of belief in God, or belief in god, or belief in good. God, good , god, are all the same mind set to our devotional nature. There is not one thing we do not do for our own good.
no can't see any relation at all ta them words.in what way is a believe in a god a pratical thing? that dont make any intelligent sense ta me.and if there is "not one thing" people do not do for their own good,then if everybody thought that way about life an people, then everyone in the whole world would be very selfcentred an all about themselves an their own good only all the time.what about for the good of others? they count too.
I don't know why believers and non-believers keep trying to convince each other of the rightness of their positions. What difference does it make either way? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I can only surmise TRUE BELIEVERS need to demonstrate how very knowledgeable and smart they are---compared to YOU.
