One reason some choose atheism is to deaden the sting of a corrupt nature. If we can convince ourselves that there is no God, then we think we will never have to give an account for our wickedness. However, it is not only the Atheist who has a corrupt nature; all of us do. The difference is; some acknowledge it, and ask God for forgiveness and help. The nature your nurture is the one that will dominate.
God also accuses the atheist of a lack of understanding. Atheists cannot be accused of lacking knowledge or education. Many have a high IQ, and are well educated. However, as someone said, “The bigger the belfry, the more room for the bats.” Observation and understand can be worlds apart. The atheist rejects the revelation of creation. Psalm 19:1-3. “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.” As I understand this verse, the atheist will have to say, “I was just too dumb to see it.”
The atheist also rejects the revelation of conscience. Every atheist believes there is a moral law of right and wrong. Notice how Paul describes it. Romans 2:14-15. “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;).” God will use their on argument against them.
The atheist also rejects the revelation of Scripture. Any person can know beyond any doubt that the Scriptures are an accurate revelation of God, if he wishes. We give one challenge to the atheist on this matter. John 7:17. “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.”
Finally, the atheist rejects the law of congruity. When you find the key that fits the lock, you have the right one. The only key that answers the question about creation, conscience, Scripture, where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going, is the acknowledgment of a wise, and an all-powerful God. Otherwise, we must continue to swim in a cosmic swamp of soup until science can pull us out. The key that fits is an understanding that there is a God.

Blue is a graduate of Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, Michigan, the same school I attended in the 1970s. Blue’s LinkedIn page “humbly” says:
PASTURED THREE CHURCHES, ONE I STARTED WITH “0” PEOPLE AND HAD A HIGH ATTENDANCE OF 1800. PURCHASED FIVE ACRES OF PRIME PROPERTY, AND BUILT TWO BUILDING WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF SIX MILLION DOLLARS. ALL ARE PAID FOR. WE HAVE SENT DOZENS OF YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN INTO THE MINISTRY AND MISSION FIELD. DEVELOPED THE PAL MINISTRY, WHICH IS A FULL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. ALL DONE BY GOD’S GRACE!
As I have often said, when it comes to IFB preachers, penis size matters.
Pingback:Dismal theology-related quote for the day | Civil Commotion
I have yet to read anything from a Christian that shows they actually understand atheism.
As with this quote and the others I post from Evangelicals, they keep repeating the same worn-out lies about atheism. Over and over and over ….
“PASTURED THREE CHURCHES”. Hmmm. Clearly spelling is an isssue for him. ?
Churches are like cows? ?
Well, I mean, you’ve gotta milk ’em for all they’re worth…
if the only reason christians can find to keep from murder, rape, robbery, lying , child abuse, sex abuse, domestic abuse is a 2000 year old fairy tale book, it is they that lack morals and ethics, not athiests
The word ‘God’ doesn’t answer any questions, it’s simply the original ‘God of the gaps’ argument; I can’t understand something so saying god did it somehow explains it. The reality is, and it fits in with what ObstacleChick says, that life, the universe, and everything, is actually much more understandable without God, and that’s what believers don’t get. Everything concerning God complicates life; just look at this blog and the lives it’s messed up! Look at all the difficulties such as the problem of suffering, failure to answer prayers, trying to comprehend the Trinity, that all go away if there’s no god.
The problem is that guys like this one are so desperate for god to exist that they have to resort to confusion, distortion, and plain lies to somehow justify their position. What’s even more scary is that I think it’s genuinely possible they really believe it.
Theists warn of a world without God and the evils that shall befall us. How can they possibly know this since we’ve never had a godless world? Christianity has had 2,000 to make its case. Look around at the fruit of Christianity and the damage and harm it causes, especially in its more Fundamentalist forms.
HAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!! You’re killing me with the IFB penis jokes, bruh!! ??
