The atheist will mock people of faith. I have even seen someone refer to the living God as the sky fairy. But you need not be concerned, my atheist friends. I will hold nothing against you.
You point at us and say we are pathetic. Let us take a look at the definition of pathetic.
The atheist is born and unwanted child. Even though mommy and daddy may well have desired him, he appears as one who is not destined for anything. According to the atheist there is no one beyond time to desire him. Therefore his mother and father have given birth to nothing.
The atheist lives his life for the sake of a good cause, or so he would have us believe. But how can abject futility produce a good cause? They are trying to convince us that logic says, “something can come from nothing”.
Such a man wars to protect futility. What an odd country of origin. The atheist will only have brotherhood as long as he is able or willing to speak. But when he ceases to contribute what value is he? Some may speak of what he has said. But the man himself does not live in history. Before he is dead they ignore his existence. What an odd Brotherhood.
He was not before he was born. He was not in his life though he lived among us. And according to him, though you look for him he will not be found.
What sort of mind holds to these things? With what do they busy themselves? What could possibly be useful in such a life? Such a man is forced to busy himself with the things of pride. And to try to destroy the peace of others. He was nothing more than a branch blowing in the wind which disturbs a peaceful Lake.
Peace is certainly not one of the running things in the bible, and as there are over 30,000 interpretations of the christian religion but specifics in mathematics, I will stick with non-belief. I have too many facts in science and absolutely no evidence in religion to dispute my choice.

Why do you care about what is peaceful? You live as a Deadman. Why do you war with us at all? And why do you care about scientific facts? When you are gone from here you will have no mind to remember them. You see how you support the article I just wrote. Even your reply is chocked full of futility.

The entirety of this blog is a testimony to what is happening to me. I have the proof within my soul that the living God is able and willing to converse with and direct all his people. If this was not so for me I would have nothing to say to you. But because it is true I am not afraid to speak.
You believe as you do because you say there is more proof in this world then there is in the words of the Bible. Have you read the Bible? Have you given months of prayer to consider the truth of those words? Have you tried to believe? Or have you summarily dismissed it because others told you to do it?
I have looked into science and found it rather unimpressive. I have looked into the Lord Jesus and found him astounding. If you wish, you might consider my testimony. In Christ we are something. If this world is all you own you are nothing. Look at your own testimony.

If what I have told you is true, and my conscience allows me clearly to say that such things are true, then you are faced with a dilemma.
You believe the word of science because those who study it can repeat a finding. You yourself have not discovered all possible findings. So you must by faith believe what they tell you.
It is not possible for science to measure the things of the spirit. But when someone who is of the Spirit testifies to you you count his words as folly. Don’t you smell non-sequitur here? Science explains what can be quantified by the flesh. The Christian explains what can be quantified by the Spirit. If you need something more to grasp you might consider the Bible and Christian beliefs as a lab coat, and other investigative apparatus.

I do respect your right to your beliefs, I just find wonder in a different place. My wonders are incredible to me and further disprove the existence of a deity. To me the most incredible thing is to watch a show like Cosmos as it chronicles the EVOLUTION of the universe in great detail. I can find no personal wonder in Jesus because I have no real proof of his existence. I am a person of fact and cannot believe just because. If God shows himself, I will be the first one to be converted, until then I remain an atheist in wonder of the incredible universe!

He shows himself in the very universe you call incredible. It’s his universe you’re appreciating. Remember the first question? Go back and back and back through purpose, reason and answer. Lay aside the explanations that you heard since you were a child an answer this one question. Why is there something instead of nothing? In whatever you might have said you never tried once to answer that.

Two things I want to say and then I’ll leave you alone.
1. We began our conversation because you attacked christianity on my blog. Now by your words you say, ” can’t we all just get along”. Of course we can if you don’t attack.
2. I assume I am not the first one you spoken to. So you’ve likely heard the following verse before. ” the fool says in his heart, ‘ there is no God'”.
What you may not have heard, what is certainly worthy of saying, is this. If he has referred to men such as yourself, as a fool, from a distance, how do you suppose it will go for you when you stand before him face to face?
There is no peace for those who do not love God. That’s why when you read the bible or have heard of it, there is apparently no peace. I don’t know how old you are but I guarantee your days are numbered. And I also guarantee at the end if your days you will see him.
