Atheism: Misery Loves Company

1. Why Atheism? Many people often wonder … why ‘Atheism’? What makes a man (or woman) decide to doggedly preach, promote & teach a ‘belief-system’ (religion) that believes in death-after-death and whose ‘scientific-model-of-choice ’ (‘Darwinism’) after ‘millions of years’ of ‘Evoluion’ (sic) at best can still promise nothing better than a 100% mortality rate for every generation of mankind; surely after so many ‘billions & millions of years’ of the Cosmos and people ‘evolving’, why couldn’t Evolution have gotten it right by now?

2. The ‘God-Doesn’t-Exist’ mantra. Imagine a ‘scientist’ (sic) walking into a huge mansion of stupendous proportions (comprising 100 rooms) in search of the wealthy industrialist owner of it. Imagine the ‘scientist’ rummaging through only 5 rooms only to find them empty, then turn on his heels and fleeing the premises in anger widely proclaiming that there is no influential, powerful rich man living there and that the rumour of his existence had all been a hoax … wouldn’t that be silly? This is exactly what atheists are doing everyday.

   For instance, Science tells us that (i) roughly, only 5% of the Cosmos has thus far been explored and that the rest (95%) comprises ‘undetectable by scientific instruments’ dark matter + dark energy; and (ii)  that roughly, only 5-10% (some sources say 4%) of the oceans has ever been explored.

   It thus stands to reason that God may be hidden from the scientist’s view in the 90% of the oceans and/or 95% of the Cosmos they still know nothing about. However, even had they known 100% of everything there is to know about the oceans and the Cosmos, they still might not be able to find God with their scientific instruments; you wouldn’t find Henry Ford in the engine of a Ford automobile either.

3. Why ‘Atheism’? The reason is simple: The BIBLE (i.e. the Moral Law of Moses and the Gospel of Jesus Christ) exposes HUMAN FRAILTY & FALLIBILITY and SIN and the Creator's demand for REPENTANCE.  Atheism is a convenient ideological niche for the apostate mind and conscience to hide from the brilliant light of God’s immutable holiness ... just walk into a room with a Bible in your hand and see how the atheists cringe and/or flee as if the book were lethal kryptonite.

4. The mystery of the attraction of the Bible to sincere souls. It is said that in some Jewish traditions (in the days when toxic printer’s ink still did not exist) the old Jews were taught from childhood to mix  fragments of their worn Torah with honey and eat the sweet pulp in terms of the tradition: “How sweet are Your Words to my taste! More than honey to my mouth!” [Psalm119:103].  

   Jesus Christ has explained: “For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.” [John3:20-21].
