Someone who calls themselves an athiest has posted the following: “Yes it is possible there is some god like being out there but it would be so far from our ability to understand that it would be a waste of time trying to. ” (I have been blocked from making any further comments on their blog. So I won’t give credit to the author of this quote)

I find this interesting for one reason. This person makes the admition that there is a possibility for the existance of God. But considers chasing after this thread of possibility a waste of time. Fine.  Is it appropriate to dismiss any possible hope simply because we can’t have it all?  And has that author considered the meaning of the word Grace? 

It’s much like saying, “I don’t know how to build a house.  So I’ll just live out here on the grass.”  We are warned that a simplistic approach to God is unwise.  Wouldn’t it be better to at least apply the same primary truths to our search for God that we apply to our own physical world?   But his (I assume it’s a he) approach is to dismiss the entire thing.  It is a choice one can make.  But I can’t possibly agree that it’s the best approach to God.

If we consider the worst case sinario of man’s descriptions regarding God and what His demands are, we are put to a serious task of bending our lives toward His nature so as to avoid any possible eternity in hell. Now, don’t we do that with storm warnings? We hear it on the radio or TV. We look out our window and see no sign of the warned storm. Should we just ignore the warning? No one will ignore it. They will make choices in regard to the warning.  And in the above quote I suppose we can surmise that this person has made a choice. 

But look at this person’s comment. This one decides that chasing after further knowledge is a useless cause. Ok.  Then, when it comes to teaching anything at all, this person must accept a “no response” from those who read his posts.  After all, isn’t that what he is doing with any possible knowledge of God?  Fine. Another quote comes to mind, “As you wish”.

By His Grace.
