Why do Atheists possess greater FAITH and BELIEF than the Christian?
Atheist, you do “believe” that there is no Creator; therefore, you do “believe” absent natural and Scriptural evidence to the contrary. You can’t have it both ways; therefore, you “believe” and express incredible “faith” that all of Nature emanated from a naturalistic origin which is a much “greater” faith than that of the Christian who “believes” that Elohim (Genesis 1:1) is Creator yet you have NO evidence of a Naturalist Origin yet Elohim has expressed and articulated clearly the who, what, where, when, why, concerning the creation narrative and He has provided eschatology, fulfilled prophecy, that under girds His ownership of said creation narrative. Atheism is a “religion” of unbelief in a god or a creator and this “unbelief” is a “belief” in a naturalist origin of all things which is an expression of unfathomable “faith.” Atheism is kin to Secular Humanism-Darwinism where you worship and serve that which has been created rather than the Creator (Romans 1:18-32).
Atheist – Secular Humanist, why not simply employ “naturalism” and prove the absence of a Creator and let’s rid ourselves of “religion” and the much-despised Christianity and the Church?
Commonsense, void a crippling obsession with satiating one’s penis or vulva in aberrant pleasure, tells us that the supernatural Universe which encompasses us, permeates us, 24/7/365 possesses the divine earmarks of “design” and purpose – and – commonsense uninterrupted by the proclivities of self-righteousness, arrogance, hedonism, narcissism e.g., atheism/secular humanism tells us that this unfathomable “design” must be under girded by an omnipotent Designer who is most probably existing outside the constraints of Time and physics; therefore, commonsense tells us that if a Designer exists and the complexity of that design (the human genome for example) most likely emanates from a supernatural design that said Designer would be remiss if He, She, It, They, did not reveal them self, themselves, to those “created” and in conjunction with that revelation provide logical reasoning for having created the supernatural “creation” that engulfs us 24/7/365.
If one is honest and they perform a diligent search for that “Creator” there exists only ONE-SOURCE where a Creator has not only identified “Himself” but He has also thoroughly explained the who, what, where, when, why, concerning His creation; that source, the “Canon of Scripture.” In fact, our Creator has told the atheist, the secular humanist, the unbeliever, that He exists and that their denial of His existence is foolish (Psalms 14:1) because He has clearly revealed Himself through what He has made in nature and placed before our eyes (Romans 1:20), a supernatural creation which cannot be duplicated by created beings constrained by Time and physics; furthermore, our Creator has entered the Realm of Time and walked among us for 33.5-years in the form of a man named Messiah Jesus and He has clearly proclaimed that Elohim is One, our Creator, and that anyone seeking peace and intimacy with Him must enter that relationship through “faith” in the Son, Jesus our Messiah who died for them as Messiah Jesus defeated the works of Satan at Golgotha (John 3; 1 John 3:8b)…our Creator exists.
If the atheist is so sure that our Creator does NOT exist, why not bring forth a valid explanation, causation, reasoning, for what confronts us daily in nature using a naturalistic explanation so that we can rid ourselves of “religion” and the much-despised Christianity and the Church and pursue moral relativism void conscience with uninhibited pleasure?
If our Creator does not exist, why not prove His, Her, Its, absence to a believing-faithful segment of the World so that their desires and efforts to constrain their behavior via conformity to sustainable morality might be proven irrelevant and let’s all pursue moral relativism because “if it feels good, do it;” after all, tomorrow we die and nihilism is our deity and life really means nothing in summation of all things?
As a Christian who has debated the atheist for YEARS, I can only quietly giggle in anger when I receive rebuttal from the demonically led atheist that my Christianity is inferior because I don’t play by their rule; that is, I’m not the meek and mild Christian victim of their ludicrous demonic religious mockery and hatred; I tell the atheist the uncomfortable Truth; that is, they are dying in their sin (John 8:24), their lives in atheism are nothing more than nihilistic impotency and lest they repent and trust in Jesus they will suffer horrifically as they approach the “second death” in Hell due their rejection of Messiah Jesus for the forgiveness of sin (John 3; Revelation 20:11-15).
I do consider the atheist a sissified, self-endowed, ignorant fool and if one is repulsed by that character summation all one must do to acknowledge the truism that atheists are spiritually dead, cognitively handicapped, servants of Satan is sit quietly for a few minutes and absorb their demonic rhetoric as they dehumanize and insult and mock a Christian seeking to share with them the Truth of Scripture, the Gospel.
Atheists are bully tyrants, fascists, in a demonic religion of ha-te – sexual perversion – infanticide – Marxism – Progressivism. I do not recommend a Christian, one that adheres to Paul’s admonition to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:25); that is, to rebut critics of Christianity with “meekness and gentleness” to engage the demonic atheist…it’s not worth the injury to your obedient and loving soul but I know the atheist, they are sissified bullies…so let’s do this!
You sissified bully atheists in this forum…I have noticed over time how you treat Christians, especially @JustSayin…shame on you hypocrites as you gag at a gnat and swallow a camel.
Christianity v. Atheism; Light v. Darkness; Creation v. Evolution; Commonsense v. Absurdity
Christians are people who have sought answers to life’s questions and pursed those answers not in Darwin’s foolishness (Origin of the Species) but in the Canon of Scripture and Christians believe that the Scriptures are authored by Elohim, the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2), and that the Canon provides the who, what, where, when, why, concerning mankind’s presence within the Realm of Time and our destiny subsequent death of the body; whereas, the atheist – evolutionist believes that life evolved from nothing via a cataclysmic explosion of energy from an unknown cause and from this chaos all life, the complex human genome, and unfathomable design was formed and functions.
Christians are people who believe that life is present for cause, life has a purpose beyond 70-years of seeking to evade death of the body. Christians believe that all of creation has manifest for cause with purpose and that Elohim (Genesis 1:1) is the Author of all life, Time, matter, and Elohim has created the Worlds for a specific eschatological purpose which is expounded upon within the Canon of Scripture and demonstrated by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Christians believe that obedience to the moral law written upon our heart by our Creator is the highest goal of human existence and that intimate relationship with our Creator is the epitome of all existence within Time and Eternity and this intimate relationship with our Creator is only possible by grace through faith in Jesus our Messiah believing that Jesus died to pay our sin-debt owed the Father, a debt we could never pay our self (John 3:16).
On the other hand, the atheist believes that life is defined by randomness and chaos and nihilism and that sensual pleasure, the flesh, the orgasm, narcissism, are the goals of existence; therefore, “if it feels good, do it“….”party hearty” because tomorrow we die.
For me personally, I’ll trust the Holy Spirit’s version, thank you.
Yes. I learned that a handgun is not nearly as effective as touted in the media and Hollywood. Irrespective of caliber, shot placement is most critical. I learned that what and how you practice manifests itself under the stress and urgency of handgun self-defense; therefore, practice correctly, repetitively, muscle memory is true and train the mind through mental exercises, scene scenarios, what to do, how to respond, what you will say or not say…the mind is just as (or more) relevant than physiological practice…think it through…settle it in the mind and the hands will follow but it must become innate.
Subsequent terminating the threat…keep your mouth shut…answer the questions of law enforcement only to the extent that you did what was required to save life…volunteer NOTHING but to establish probable cause and KNOW what lawful probable cause actually is.
Practice fire control discipline…you are liable for every trigger squeeze….every round that is discharged is potential liability….I’ve seen scenarios where police offense reports were generated for every round discharged as law enforcement attempts to find that one-round discharged unnecessarily.
High-capacity weapons, magazines, are good but they can become a 20-year liability if you’re NOT disciplined. Jury’s and Grand Juries typically interpret high-capacity weapons as garnered by RAMBO types…they are inherently suspicious of the legitimate intent of one who carries high-capacity weapons and extra magazines; YES, though it’s better to be tried by twelve than carried by six, be cognizant of your actions, your words, your weapon, and how they will be interpreted by an ADA and the Grand Jury reviewing your shooting status.
A hammer-less five-shot 38sp shouts-out “I’m interested in self-protection” while a Glock 19 and extra magazines shouts-out “I’m ready for war…bring it on!” Red Dot Sights – Lasers are wonderful supplemental tools but they’re interpreted by Juries as Rambo Toys…be aware!
It’s your life, your freedom, your family, your decision. Don’t do anything to incite a confrontation. Don’t wear political attire in public if you decide to carry. Don’t intercede in arguments or fights or confrontations lest absolutely necessary to protect life (walk away)…MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS when carrying concealed…be the guy in gray in a crowd…blend in…stay aware. Be lawful, be permitted, be kind, be polite, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! and keep your mouth shut!
If you discharge your weapon, law enforcement IS NOT YOUR FRIEND but your adversary as is the ADA and the Judge who interprets the probable cause statement and your bail or bond…shut your mouth!
Liberal v. Conservative; Left v. Right; Democrat v. Republican; Satan v. Jesus; Evil v. Good…nothing has changed down through history…
Discussion,
Conservatives – Christians clamor and fret and worry over our fallen World and the Nation of America that is leading the way to Hell yet we fail to understand that all we see is nothing more than a modernized reiteration of what has manifest in response to an angelic coup d’etat initiated by a rebellious, anointed, cherub angel, a coup d’etat waged against Elohim that is foundational to the creation of matter, Time, physics, the human genome, the Heavens and this temporary Earth as a temporary repository for that angelic coup.
America’s Democrat – Progressive Party is NOTHING new or novel within the Realm of Time as these people are the demonic seed of the Adamic and Noahic generations that were annihilated by water save eight…same people, same servitude to the pagan god of Molech (child sacrifice – abortion) and Baal (sexual immorality identified in this current generation as LGBTQAI++).
Nothing new or novel to see here people…just a hoard of demons and the demonically possessed having methodically infused America’s posterity with their wickedness and vileness celebrated as “freedom” via atheism and secular humanism and abortion and sexual perversion.
America’s enemies are the Party of Darkness i.e. Progressive-Democrats-Marxists and their attributes are insolence, rebellion, arrogance, ignorance and moral defilement and they will proliferate, procreate, until that Day; therefore, as America dies in Hell do not be dismayed, those who belong to Messiah Jesus are not yet HOME (Hebrews 13:14-16).
“O you who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10 (ESV)
Please don’t be naive or passively ignorant concerning America as a dying Constitutional Republic. America is on life-support and She will not survive as a Constitutional Republic because Her heart, Her children, their heart and mind and soul, have been methodically abducted by the demonic i.e., the Progressive – Marxist Agenda.
Beginning with Progressive John Dewey, the Father of Modern Education, America’s children have been incrementally, methodically, brainwashed via public education to become faithful servants of Satan and Satan’s proteges, Karl Marx and Charles Darwin. Progressives via historical revisionism and evolutionary theory have destroyed the essential foundations of America’s Constitution via revisionist history and a rejection of Jesus as Messiah through evolutionary theory forced upon American students as a “biological science.” When you teach children that they are the descendants of apes while simultaneously mocking the Genesis narrative, why are we surprised when America’s citizens conduct themselves as apes via atheism, secular humanism?
The moral and ethical rot that flows freely from America’s institutions of “education” is just now bubbling to the surface for all to see but do not be naive, America is a rotting corpse and that odor that flows from a Democrat – a Progressive – a Marxist is the odor of Hell and our posterity is destined to suffer horribly.
Many place their faith in Donald Trump as the savior of our Constitutional Republic and I support President Trump’s valiant efforts as well but understand that even if President Trump is victorious over the demons of the Democrat Party in November of 2024, President Trump will only be a human “band-aid” on a hemorrhaging artery and a body of people who have sold their soul to Satan and that body is presently in an advanced state of decay and moral rot.
Again, America’s posterity will suffer horrifically and America’s “men” and the Christian Church have no one to blame but themselves for not eradicating the metastatic malignancy of demonic Progressivism before same abducted our children and molded them into servants of Satan.
This temporary life constrained by Time and physics is a temporary battle ground for an unfathomable war with its origin in the eternal Spiritual Realm and you and I are intricate players in that war between good v. evil. Our purpose here is as warriors who will choose to ally with our Creator or our Creator’s nemesis and our destiny is wholly contingent upon our alliances in the here and now.
If you do not understand this reality, a spiritual reality clearly articulated within the Canon of Scripture, nihilism is the resultant, nihilism is pervasive and spiritual ignorance is death of the body, mind, soul. Our Creator has provided you with His battle strategy within the Canon of Scripture and Elohim has clearly articulated the who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning your origin and your purpose and your destiny; therefore, you are provided the opportunity to KNOW and LIVE ABUNDANTLY in that knowledge or deny and DIE IN FUTILITY; if you desire “meaning” and “purpose” in this temporary life you will find it in the Canon of Scripture and ultimately in a personal, intimate, relationship with your Creator who is Jesus our Messiah; otherwise, your tenure upon this temporary Earth will be of no account, an existence of wastefulness.
You are a spirit encapsulated, constrained, confined, within a decaying body of flesh and your spirit is created in the spiritual image of your Creator (Genesis 1:26-28) possessing certain divine attributes of our Creator; therefore, if you exist apart from your Creator through denial of His existence and sovereignty over your life, you will exist in nihilism, a subpar existence defined by an all encompassing sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo, you will question your raison d’etre and life will have no lasting purpose or joy. If you choose to honor your Creator, Jesus Christ, by faith and trust in Him as your Sovereign Lord, your life will be filled with purpose, hope, peace; therefore, choose wisely. Walk daily in Christian sanctification via obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit; here, you will find peace (Galatians 5:16; Romans 5:1). This life is NOT about religion’s days and diets and rules and regulations or secularism’s sexual fulfillment and money and the acquisition of things; this life is about serving our Creator and honoring His will through faith, nothing more than an intimate; personal, relationship with the One who created you; herein is the answer and purpose of life within the Realm of Time.
Jesus said,
39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.41 I do not receive glory from people.42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? John 5 (ESV)
@Putin challenged me to provide an eleventh-reason why Atheism is killing America; this, in addition to the ten-reasons articulated in a Debate Premise published on 3/09/24 in this DebateIsland forum that teams with representatives of Satan i.e., the vile atheist…
Reason#11 why Liberalism-Progressivism-Atheism are destroying America is the do-gooder virtue signaling LEFT’s warped understanding of human nature as the atheist denies the Biblical sin-nature of humanity (Romans 5:12) and erroneously, foolishly, believes that human nature is basically “good” and all that is required for that “goodness” to manifest in reality is the provision of Maslow’s needs made readily accessible…an ingratiating environment conducive to human realization of nirvana and then there would be World peace and interpersonal relationships of love, joy, fulfillment….these are the thoughts of a demonic fool and we see them played-out in real time via our current war on police; war on jurisprudence-bail-confinement-do the crime do the time…the decriminalization of theft, drugs, forms of assault…BLM, ANTIFA….the atheist is a boil on the butt of America.
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
There exists NO religion, secular or theological, that requires greater faith from its adherents than the religion of Atheism.
Consider this: The Atheist must believe that nothing produces everything, non-life produces life, randomness produces fine-tuning, chaos produces information, unconsciousness produces consciousness, and non-reason produces reason and “In the beginning” there was NOTHING that exploded and from this chaos emanated design, logic, reason, purpose, morality, LIFE – the complex human genome.
With that said, what are the defining religious “tenets” of Atheism?
1) Faith – belief that nothing created something.
2) Infanticide – seeing that life is the product of a primordial soup that arose from the abyss, life has no intrinsic value therefore narcissism is god, sensual pleasure is the epitome of existence and reality; therefore, anything or anyone that is an encumbrance to one’s narcissistic desires is easily remedied by death of the “obstruction.” In Atheism, children are a byproduct of sensuality; therefore, expendable through death and a simple flush of the toilet.
3) Lesbianism – Gayness – Bisexuality – Transsexualism – Queerdom // Seeing that objective morality is an irrelevant construct of man’s theological religions, the secular religion of Atheism strictly adheres to “moral relativism;” therefore, the human body is a social experiment for pleasuring sexually and the epitome of the “human experience” is one’s sexuality and the freedom to express same void societal limitations…to Hell with societal morality – long live the sexual genitalia as icons of godly pleasure.
4) Moral Relativism – “If it feels good – do it” – after all – It’s your life baby…enjoy it.
5) Darwinism – Evolutionary Theory – a lesser god in Atheism from which all things find purpose in origin. Nothing created Something that exploded and provided Meaning; therefore, Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins are atheistic deity.
In conclusion:
Atheism is a religion of the demonic – an all encompassing destructive entity in any society seeking sustainable mores, norms, values, a healthy and productive foundation for a future posterity. Atheism has no place in American society based upon the precepts of a Constitutional Republic that was founded upon the precepts of Christianity. Atheism and its parishioners are to be feared and shunned and ostracized from a society if that society is to have any hope of sustainability.
