Back to Homepage, click Here An atheist cannot prove that God does not exist, so that puts him in the camp of the agnostic. He simply doesn't know one way or the other. So then, what makes an atheist think what they have to say about life and God is of interest to anyone at all? The only thing that distinguishes them from others is not superior intellect, but a certain coldness of heart that shuts out facts about God. In reality, atheists' are deserving of our pity and prayers, not contempt. Often times there is emotional confusion in the heart of an atheist. There is a wanting to connect with God but also an unwillingness for fear they may be rejected by Him. Psychology has amply demonstrated that atheism is most often rooted in a bad "Parent/Child" relationship, usually between father and son. At times, there is something more nefarious behind atheism, something that lurks around or within atheists, inspiring them in such a way that they want others to be blinded as they are. And it ends up as a classic example of, "The blind leading the blind" because in their "Misery they want company". And who among us has not heard the atheists' mantra: "Religion is the cause of wars". Is that so? Let them consider that in the last century alone, over 170 million people died at the hands of atheists like Lenin, Stalin, and other such men. More peope died in Cambodia during the rule of Pol Pot, the atheist, in just a few short years than Christians who harmed each other in over 2,000 years. And what is the message of hope that atheists bring to the world? Just do good to others, peace of earth to those of good will without God in the picture because nothing matters in the end, anyway? Are we to settle for the idea that we should be happy because our lives served something bigger than ourselves, perhaps some evolutionary process? Are not atheists the same people who rebel against the fact of God because he is bigger than them, and their agenda? Of what good is atheism if our lives are meaningless and we are destined to die and be forgotten? What gives an atheist the right to complain about religion? After all, they want to impact others with their views of life, do they not? "IF" in their need to tell us there is no God, why should anyone give a single whit about what they think? After all, according to them, there is no ultimate accountability for anything in the end anyway, so who cares what they have to say? And who does not understand that atheists' are most often great lovers of their sin? They embrace atheism like a "drug of choice" hoping to escape the emptiness in their heart. Atheists' hope to escape the consequences of their sin as they drift off into the land of delusion thinking there is no accountability for this life. In the end, Atheism becomes the opiate of the irrational. And when they are done with their argument that a loving God cannot exist simply because evil and suffering exists in the world, let these giants in their own minds turn round and tell us what they see when they are done shaking their mighty fists towards the heavens. Let them tell us what they see when they turn their eyes back towards earth. Have they done the world any favors? Has the suffering they complained about in life disappeared? No! Is God still there for them to blame? Not in their minds, they've done away with God. So then, who do they have a beef with now? All the suffering, sickness, and death in the world still exists and has been assigned to them by their material god because there is no one else to blame. The face of their god indeed has suffering upon it, but it's the face of dumb anguish that does not offer any hope for anything whatsoever. It is the face of a cruel god who mocks them and tortures them in their hearts and minds during the time he alloted for them to exist. And they are like masochists who are small minded people that enjoy watching others suffer as they try to instill doubts and fear into the souls of others. Yet, they mock suffering on a Cross that turns suffering and what seems like dumb anguish in our own crosses into something co-redemptive that St. Paul spoke about as we suffer with and in Christ. Atheists' are the people who slap the face of the Holy One just before He went to the Cross, as He suffers with and in His faithful. They strike His head with a reed, they pluck his beard, and put a crown of thorns on His head, and they are deaf to the cry of forgiveness. And they think they have a message of hope for the world? Let atheists be mindful that their god is coming like a killer asteroid on its way to meet them in destiny. And when their god greets them as the grim reaper, he will render one final judgment against all they think and do by obliterating them with a death blow, stomping them into the grave. The fool in his heart says there is no God. Let atheists stop complaining about evil, suffering, and death in the world. Their task to make this a better world falls infinitely short of man's needs and desire to live with God for all eternity. Let them face the fact they will indeed meet the face of Christ at judgment. For the one who believes in the God of Revelation, the facts about God that can be known with the light of reason become a stepping stone to belief in what He has revealed. This trial will reveal the path of atheism which leads to damnation, and it will examine whether the "world" crowns its own by heralding and ushering in atheistic thought in order to blaze a path of rebellion for sinners. Atheists would turn the Salvific Greeting of "Peace on earth to men of good will" into "Chaos in the world for those of ill-will". As you read this book you will find yourself living vicariously through someone in the courtroom. At times you may see yourself on the witness stand and at other times you may see yourself as one of the attorneys or one of the jurors, but one way or the other your religious convictions will be indelibly affected by the facts that will be presented in this trial.
