ANOTHER CHALLENGE TO ATHEISTS TO MATCH THIS BOAST
By: Robert T. Lee
One of the things I love to do is stress the superiority of TRUE CHRISTIANITY over atheism, agnosticism, non belief in God and over every other manmade or demonic religion or philosophy.
Oh dear. Pride before a fall. ;)
For example: Consider any of the founders, fathers, giants or leaders of atheism of old to the present. None of their writings are worth reading. Nothing they say is worth listening to. They are not worthy role models. None of them have any true honor, nobility or righteousness about themselves.
There are no great 'leaders' of atheism. No founding fathers. There have been those who have spoken out against religion. Those who have stood up to bigotry. And plenty who have been persecuted for their opinions.
But consider true Christianity: It has such noble patriarchs as Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - such righteous men as Joseph, Moses, Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, David, Solomon, Daniel, the Prophets, the 12 Apostles (excluding judas and including Paul) and many others - men, women and children of whom the world was and is not worthy.
Lets take a look at these 'noble patriachs' and 'righteous men'
Looking through the bible you can see how god commands his prophets to slay thousands, rape and pillage villages etc. Moses was particularly evil in this respect. Perhaps it is forgiveable to commit such crimes in the name of god. But to me, I consider it disgusting.
Many more of these prophets told of death and suffering to all those who did not convert to christianity. Using fear to change people's beliefs. Some of the characters in the bible use peaceful measures to get the message across. But you have to bear in mind that what the bible contains is a heavily biased 'account of events'.
The Almighty God actually spoke to some of these noble men, but He has never done so in a favorable way to an atheist, or any other heathen. These men and others also gained God's approval and was made righteous in His sight. But where is the atheist and non believer who remained as such who is pleasing to their Maker? Not one!
Atheists, do not speak to god, because they don't believe he exists.
There have been many people throughout history who have claimed to have recieved wisdom from god and gone on to commit terrible crimes. eg.) The Yorkshire Ripper who mutilated women during the 1980's claimed he heard 'god's voice' telling him to do it. Saying 'god told me to' is one of the most popular cop outs you can say.
Consider also the great and righteous works these men and others performed. There's nothing an atheist has and can perform that can match.
Atheism, agnosticism, and any other heathen belief has nothing worthwhile to offer to itself or the world. You degrade yourself to the lowest level when you embrace anything atheism has to offer.
We can look at many scientific inventions, discoveries, ways of life, people's rights, family, love, friendship, freedom, happiness etc... I could go on.
Atheism is not a destructive force. It is a freedom from oppressive religious beliefs. Atheists have to take responsibility for their own actions. Do what they believe to be 'right'. We have a wide variety of moral sources from which to pool from. We don't limit ourselves to the bible which can be interpreted in so many twisted ways.
