Atheists Don’t Have a Prayer
10/9/09 Insights from Study I could never work up a good dose of animosity toward atheists even if I needed and wanted to. They are so wrong-minded that I feel sorry for them. They are missing the greatest gift available to mankind – love from his Creator. The love is there, but they are missing it.
You cannot be angry with someone who insists the moon is made of green cheese. They are so content to be deceived that only the supreme joy of discovery of truth can conceivably be in the works for them. It’s the same sort of uplifting mystic theology that welcomes humility because only the humble person can accept and enjoy God’s rescue.
It seems like every time I hear atheists use science to prove the non-existence of intelligent design, they always wind up validating my belief in God. The most recent example is the declaration that science, having found that all life forms stem from a single cell structure, has proven we all evolved from the same source. But without considering intelligent design, how then, if it all began with a single type of cell, did some of us become scientists and some become liver flukes? If evolution begins with only one cell, what force kept us from all being great white sharks?
For me as a spiritual person believing in the immanence of God in the world, science is interesting but not necessary. And atheistic beliefs cannot alter God’s master plan, so in the great scheme of things, atheistic hatred for that which it denies exists is pitiful. Atheists do have a role to play in God’s design, and I defer as always to God’s plan. We all occupy the same place in the mind of God – we are all understood, and loved anyway. If he’s good enough for God, the atheist is good enough for me to accept. It’s just too sad when his hatred makes him so nasty he can’t afford to accept enlightenment.
