Atheist Governments Blame Christians For Lack of Progress

The same scapegoat game is played all over again. If Nero could put Rome on fire and then blame the Christians for his crimes, the atheist governments can do the same thing. The same old practices just keep happening and history repeats itself until the Lord comes. For the atheist, they say that Christians are to blame... for them Christians stop progress in science and technology because of their moral arguments against certain breakthroughs (ex. abortion, cloning, genetic engineering), sexism of any kind, for teaching people that there is a God, etc. One of the worst God-hating atheists Karl Marx called that the idea of God is an opium to society, while he also has mentioned that he hates God with a passion! The atheist hates God no matter how many times they deny it!

Let us take a look at nations where ran by atheist school of thoughts. One may take a look at the historical facts and figures of North Korea, Vietnam, China and Cambodia. Atheists say, "Well atheism has nothing to do with it." Not all atheists are bloodthirsty and destructive as Pol Pot or Mao Zedond but one can take a look at some ideas of atheism. Richard Dawkins perhaps the greatest atheist alive today said these disturbing word from his book, "The River Out of Eden: A Darwinina View of Life":
"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 indifference."

For the atheist, it's the age of man and they say Christians are against science. Christians are not against science in general but its wrong use. For example, a Christian scientist will go against certain practices like genetic engineering revealing the consequences of playing God. For a Christian scientist, science is God's creation and a gift that must be stewarded carefully. Not for the atheist according to what I quoted of Richard Dawkins above. For them, everything is just selfish genes, it's all about no design, no purpose, no evil, no good... nothing but pitiless indifference. All the while, they would call God as cruel and unjust, the Bible as a sadistic book (frequently quoting from it while saying it's just a work of fiction and foolishness)... which they contradict themselves.

One may want to take a look at what atheist dictators like Kim Il Sung, Kim Jung Il, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot to name a few did to drive their country to poverty. For Pol Pot, he was against anybody who was literate enough fearing if they read the Bible, they would oppose him so he had them killed. For Mao Zedong, he tried to get rid of any form of Western thought because it would inevitably lead to the Bible being preached. A lot of things like keeping people ignorant and uneducated were done so they could not read the Bible while giving them their Communist education in the process. All the while, their actions hindered progress (Mao Zedong's two infamous revolutions namely the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution caused China to spiral to rathole poverty) so they decided to use anybody they considered to be Christians as their convenient scapegoat.

I remembered the incident written by Dr. D. James Kennedy in his book "Why I Believe". He mentioned that North Koreans have an incredible fear for that "little black book". Though the commander was a Buddhist that time, he ordered every man to carry a pocket Bible which I believe he too got converted. It should be interesting that if the Bible is just a story book according to atheists, why do they fear it? It can be simple as John 3:20 says that men love darkness and refuse the light. The atheist is willfully ignorant (2 Peter 3:5) and many continue to be so. Again, do they even realize that atheist states' falling apart is a result of atheist's willful ignorance?
