The FOOLishness of Atheism
Happy April fools! There's been no other time in history worth acknowledging atheism but April 1 and it's a sad thing really that people choose to reject there is a God. Psalm 14:1 says, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." So how foolish is atheism. Atheists say, "Thou shalt not bear false witness Christian!" when their system is in fact nothing more than a bunch of lies, God is no delusion and that intelligent design is not a magic wand argument. Still they insist Christians are liars, frauds and responsible for all the mess the world is into.
Here are just some things noticeable:
Note: This entry is not meant to create anger against atheists but atheism. The atheist must take time to consider the fact that God is still willing to forgive them while they are still alive, only if they let Him. We are here to hopefully soften their hearts but sadly many of them have continued to harden their hearts no matter how high the cost may go. We love them enough to preach to them the truth that there is a God and His Name is Jesus Christ!
1.) They have a hard time believing there is a God yet they buy one pagan myth to another, remove the theistic part and account it for the world's existence
Like it or not, Charles Darwin was NOT an atheist1. He was a deist and probably a Freemason himself as he came from a line of Freemasons. Evolutionists are not necessarily atheists and the idea of mankind coming from lower lifeforms marching to a higher lifeform is all part of a paganized society's way of thinking and it's being believed by MOST world religions today. Many atheists have adhered to Charles Darwin as the "man who killed God". The problem is MANY evolution textbooks are NOT written by atheists. They simply got the idea to try and explain God away. They call agnostics and other forms of theists to be idiots and Charles Darwin was a theist!
Their argument can be as, "Well I don't believe in God because I don't see God." However they have not SEEN evolution happen, they have NOT seen the Big Bang or whatever pagan myths they have adopted yet they believe it. They say Christians are unscientific yet NOTHING proves their claim that life came from nothing!
2.) They have a failure to account for morality due to relativism
Perhaps one of the most famous quotes of atheism is this,"The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference2.". And it's a pretty self-contradictory system. One can notice that atheist blogs are usually filled with bad words. Plus, it's best that the URLs of the Devil will not be placed here, they shouldn't get any more traffic than they already have and Christians should NOT waste time reading them and get stressed!
So here they call Christians dishonest yet they believe there is no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference. For example, how can they call Christians to be dishonest for mentioning about sin when there's the statement that sin is just a fantasy word and people were just doing what they could to survive. Or another, how can human sacrifices be wrong if there's nothing but pitiless indifference. Perhaps a trip to an atheistic Communist country like Cambodia could at least open the eyes or reading of the atrocities done by the dictator Mao Zedong in China (we recommend reading "Mao's Last Dancer", though it is a secular book by Li Cun Xin, it does detail MUCH of China's atheist regime). This philosophy gave rise to dictatorship aside from Roman Catholicism and Islam. By teaching so in the secular schools, it was resulted to more school fights, more school shooting and tiny problems have grown into mountains. This is all based on pitiless indifference.
This however does not mean atheists are necessarily totally wicked and immoral, some try to do the best they can to keep society in order but they still fail to account for morality with their philosophy.
3.) They laugh at the Bible yet they buy atheist literature as their Scriptural references
Weird but true. They put the Bible to the test yet popular atheist literature becomes their source of Scripture. Some of these books happen to be "The God Delusion" and "The River Out of Eden" by Richard Dawkins or other books even some, dare to call Christians as bearing false witness. After doing some cross examination, it can be concluded that these books are written out of bitterness and hardheartedness against God (like the Pharaoh of the Exodus). It's amazing to see the Word of God that has stood the test of time to be always put to the test despite the evidences yet they HARDLY put to the test the writings of their favorite atheist authors. Atheists quote their authors mostly as if they never make a mistake.
Thou shalt not bear false witness anyone? Their books are nothing more than a bunch of lies backed up by another bunch of lies. Many of these books happen to be foul-mouthed, full of bad words, sexual references and not to mention hypocritical. The sad truth of atheism is that it's nothing more than a system people adopt to avoid God in their way of thinking and lives.
4.) They can't tell the difference between Christianity vs. world religions
Various atheists have compared Christianity to world religions when there are hardly ANY common grounds except that they're theist. Well it's NOT enough to be a theist- one must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for who He is (the Son of God) and what He did for sins to be saved. They have compared Christianity to religious terrorism (such as the Inquisition and the Crusades or Islamic terrorist activities) when there is a BIG difference. Christians preach the Gospel and are narrow in doctrine in the sense they are John 14:6 proponents that salvation is ONLY through the Lord Jesus Christ but they are commanded to love their enemies and pray for those who reject the Gospel.
What about atheism? Most of the time, those who reject atheism have ended up in brutal treatment. The Khmer Rouge of Pol Pot and Mao Zedong's regime were known for its torture of not only other theists but also the Bible-believing Christians! While one can point out and say, "Hey many Communists are Catholics." but they fail to account for how Communism was also fueled by atheism. While they condemn Islamic theocracies and Catholic theocracies for cruelty, they fail to see the cruelty of the Tiananmen Square Massacre or how the Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong created a massive genocide.
