Food for Thought for the Atheist
Thoughts
of Atheist vs. Judeo/Christian Beliefs
The following text uses "you" as
a general reference to an atheist to present atheistic ideas for the purpose
of illustration only. There is no critical intent, but I do have
serious concerns concerning the fate of atheists.
What If:
If you are right then when we die
there is nothing more for us, and you and I will be in the same condition,
nonexistent. I will have found satisfaction from a mind trip, and
will have missed out on some fleshly pleasures, which don't satisfy, and
in the long run won't matter. There won't even be any satisfaction for
you that you were right.
But:
If I am right we will both exist
eternally, in a glorious place called heaven for me, and a dreadful place
called hell for you.
and,
If you are right the universe will
eventually burn out, or possibly collapse upon itself, but before this
happens man will continue to evolve (barring extinction) until the greatest
minds and talents of our time become inferior predecessors (so much for
respect). In short nothing including us really matters.
But:
If I am right there will be an eternal
heaven and an eternal lake of fire, and man is a final creation. We are
all valuable and precious to GOD and everything matters very much.
and,
If you are right there is no absolute
standard of right and wrong, but only a consensus of man, which is changeable
and situation dependent. For example genocide could be a bad thing
today, but a good thing tomorrow, depending on prevailing attitude.
I am adhering to a standard that may be fleetingly beneficial, but really
doesn't matter.
But:
If I am right there is an absolute
standard of right and wrong, which is determined by an unchanging and Holy
GOD, who can not tolerate sin. I would like to mention here that
I do not mean to imply that I am saved by right living, please refer to
this message
for more information.
Conclusion:
It looks to me as though if I am
wrong it doesn't really matter, but if you are wrong it matters eternally,
and you lose BIG.
The beliefs expressed are my own,
and are intended to open the hearts of unbelievers to receive revelation
of the truth of GOD and salvation. I do not intend to represent myself
as an absolute authority or expert. I believe that the Holy Bible
is the infallible word of GOD and that the information provided here is
borne out by this word, but don't take my word for it, always test everything
said against the Holy Word of GOD. Please e-mail Here
