Calling out atheists! (by anon)


This post is a call to all atheists, agnostics, and other non-Christians, to wake up and realize the truth. First, I am a strong Christian believer. The Bible is the only foundation for all knowledge and truth and all understanding of right and wrong. I believe Jesus saved me many years ago, I love Jesus for this and I live my life, with Jesus in my heart, always. Knowing that I am saved makes me a better person, because even when I feel so angry I could hurt someone or break something, or when I feel so sad I could just give up life and kill myself, I think of Jesus and how I am saved, and continue strongly, knowing that God has a plan for me.

I have faith in the Bible, not in science. I'm not trying to blast science, it's just that with all the science in the world, we'll never understand the wonders of God and His creation to their fullest. Look out at the night sky, and just think about how anything this extraordinarily perfect and lovely came to be. To think that we can explain all of this with science and technology, without a mention of God being the creator, is terribly misguided. All those people out there spreading scientific theories about a God-less universe, take scientists to be gods. Everyone who believes in the theories formulated by scientists is no better than someone like me, who believes in the words written by men who have written the Bible. And for those of you who believe the words of philosophers from many years ago who try to explain away religion and God, you're no better than I.

Why would one want to believe that humans are worthless? That when we all die, we'll all be dirt, and that's it? No one can live a fulfilling life believing in these things. Humans mean something in the big scheme of things, and we have a purpose, yet so many people are out there ignoring it. I don't want everyone I know, especially my friends and family, to go to hell. So I must shine on and be a light for God, and I must show people the way. When things get rough and I feel weak, I pray and ask the Lord for help. I get guidance and support. Non-believers, how can you think you're so great and knowledgable, and live life without guidance? Humble yourselves, understand what Jesus has done, and live with Jesus in your heart.

  1. This posting on atheism is so filled with misconceptions and broad generalizations about atheists and science that it is difficult for a non-Christian (I include myself here, although I was raised in a Christian tradition) to respond. I also wonder if the writer has really read the Bible, since that is the surest way that I know to appreciate how wonderfully human it is.

  2. I agree this post just seems to be from someone who hasn't read the bible (just saying it seems like that not that they really haven't because i dont know that) it seems like this person is just the type of christian who goes to church on sunday and takes everything the preacher says as truth but doesnt take the time to read the bible for themselves. A few questions for the person who made this post.
    1) If you believe the bible gives you understanding for right and wrong how do you reconcile all of the atrocities committed by your god and by his people in his name?
    2)How is it that if you dont believe in the christian god does that make you think humans are worthless?
    3)If you a lowly human doesnt want your friends and family to go to hell, how come your god who is suppose to love us more than anything, how can he send people to hell? If he truly loved us why wouldn't he not make hell and put everyone in heaven? Why not make it where if your not a christian that you just stop existing?

    I would like to know your answers for these questions because this might help us understand each other. I used to be a christian but when i started to think for myself i started to read and learn about everything in the world and most importantly i read the bible and i saw how horrible and unmoral the book is. Hope to hear something from you soon.

    1. 1) There is a difference between what God does and what people do in God's name. People mess up even when they think they are doing what God asks.
      2) Life is meaningless without some higher purpose. If you believe you are nothing but worm food in the end, that is sad. The end comes quick.
      3) [Please type better] I don't make the rules. I don't pretend to understand God's motives.

      The Bible is not immoral. Jesus came to satisfy the law so that the law no longer binds us like it did before. Now all one needs is Jesus which is clearly and convincingly laid out in the New Testament.

    2. 3) But you did just make the rules. You are determining "how" someone should interpret the bible and God - your way. (Versus, for example, the other "people who do things in God's name" another way, etc.)

      Being "Christian" is a very broad spectrum people vs breaking it down into a denomination. Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist, and on and on. (There are at least 22 versions if not more.) Which version of Christian are we speaking of here? Are you someone who believes the Bible to a literal standpoint? Also do you believe the bible is infallible?

  3. lol. When faced with the meaningless universe atheists must reckon with as a consequence of their beliefs, they have nothing to say in the face of Christianity. With Jesus, meaning comes back into life!

  4. Jesus is my lord and savior. I have complete faith in the Lord and in Jesus, praise the lord. Jesus set me free. I am waiting for the end times and the rapture. I decided to withdraw from school and turn my life over to Jesus. He knows whats best for me. I am waiting for a sign. I have a terrible pain in my knee but I have been praying to Jesus to heal it so I will not be going to the doctor because Jesus is more powerful than any doctor. My aunt has cancer and I keep telling her to pray, that she does not need to see a specialist or chemo or surgery. Just turn it over to Jesus. On the one hand, I feel very sorry for the victims in Colorado but on the other hand I know that it was all a part of God's plan, even Zimmerman said that shooting Treyvon Martin was part of God's plan. Due to all of the paintings and pictures, I firmly believe that Jesus was a white man sent by God to free all the people in the world. Finally, the bible is the literal word of God and is the only book we will need. I will never return to college because the bible has all of the answers.

  5. Honestly, people, this is all flamebait. Don't feed the trolls. Save legit debate for something that actually has substance on this topic. Moving on now...

  6. Jesus is the reason for the season. Thankyou Jesus for what you did on the cross.
    In your precious and holy name, amen

  7. Give me one shred of proof that one man had to spill all his blood so that everyone who has this belief that he is god will be cleansed and allowed into heaven?

    All that Christianity crap is a bunch of bullshit made up by simpleminded a-holes. They might as well believe in the Greek gods too.

  8. Look if you read the Bible front to back, you'll understand the truth of it. You'll see that scripture interprets scripture, and that's all there is. So many atheists take science and logic as a way of obtaining knowledge and understanding, but I use the Bible. We just have faith in different things. And so if anyone tries to bring logic into a debate about the Bible being true or not, you can't do that. God does not abide by the rules of logic. Anyway, I still know so many people will go to hell if they don't believe, and I don't want that to happen. And if you don't think God has a plan or a purpose for you because you think there is no God, well I'm sorry for you. There's no way we live on this earth for no reason. We are one in a billion billlion, there must be a purpose for it. There must have been a designer, and that is God.

  9. Yes 8:55, praise the lord. I was a junior getting good grades until I realized that God has a plan for me, so I left school. I do not have a job and waiting for God to reveal his plan to me. I have stopped reading any books except the bible, it is perfect.

  10. Do you support human sacrifice? Can killing someone solve our problems?

  11. The writer of this post is an athiest in regards to every god other than the Christian one and should address the other religions (maybe at least one as an example) for why an athiest ought to convert to Christianity rather than Islam, Polytheistic "pagan" or "heathen" religion, or somesuch. Those gods have as much credibility as the above mentioned deity.

  12. What if your god is the wrong one and the Muslims are right or the Scientoligists. I mean they have books too.

  13. "Everyone who believes in the theories formulated by scientists is no better than someone like me."

    Except when I plug in my hair dryer, it turns on.
    When I take medicine, I get better.
    My watch is accurate.
    Computers.

    "Theories formulated by scientists" are physically affirmed thousands of times a day, all over the world.I have experience the presence of any deity.

  14. Take your rant, replace every "God" with "Allah" and every "Bible" with "Quran"

    Now re-read it and tell me if you become a Muslim.

    2. Well, that wouldn't quite work, because the Muslim belief in Jesus is nothing like the Christian belief in Jesus, mostly because Muslims viewed Jesus as a fraud and a fake, where the Christians believe Jesus was God. It wouldn't work to simply replace words, because the doctrine of the Christ is different.
