The Atheists In Their Folly

The atheists in their folly
Celebrate the alleged ‘death of God’.

God's Atheistic Paradox
people who do not
happen to profess
to or believe in the truth
of the true Christian faith
may still enjoy receive salvation
may even receive death bed salvation
just because atheists do not believe in God
does not mean God does not believe in some atheists

Well, you know, Thomas Jefferson, who was the author of the Declaration of Independence said he wouldn't have any atheists in his cabinet because atheists wouldn't swear an oath to God. That was Jefferson and we have never had any Muslims in the cabinet.

Theism verses atheism
Belief in God is not theism.
Disbelief in God is not atheism.
Fear of God is theism.
Ignoring God is atheism.
Theists feel they will be protected.
Atheists feel they will not be punished.
Theists invoking the God,
And atheists ignoring the God
Live in the same state of well being.

Does God Believe In Some Atheists?
atheists do not believe in God
but does God believe in some atheists?
to say God does not believe in
specific individuals however bad
is not scriptural because God
can God will save; whoever God pleases?
judgement is mine sayith the Lord
Saul of Tarsus judged did not believe in Jesus Christ
but Jesus Christ believed in future Paul of Tarsus?
Christ cured disease blindness hatred used Paul's passions

Monstrosities That I Observe Among Christians
I. It’s a monstrosity that some people believe
It’s a monstrosity that some people believe
that a deadly illness,
poverty, loss of a job and income
and every disaster that happens daily to people
results from their sin,
where people live outside the hand of God
and when I think about a one-year-old child
that is dying of cancer,
see how people that were wealthy
now is on the street,
it reminds me about Job,
while there is still trust and hope
in the biggest darkness.
II. That the eating of meat is sin
Some people believe
that according to the Bible it is sin
to eat meat
and so easily they forget
that the Bible says clearly
that some meat foods are clean,
that Jesus himself multiplied fishes and bread,
that shepherds caring for their flocks of sheep
were informed about the coming
of the Son of God
and still I wonder
why the shepherds had sheep?
III. That atheists originate from the teaching of some churches
That the doctrines of other churches
compel people to become atheists
as there teachings are free from all truth
and only true Christians
in that particular Christian faith are serving God,
as if God is not reaching out His hands
to all Christians
and every has do not have dedicated people
and then they hit on their breasts like the Pharisees
and say that they are elect children
of Abraham,
while they are really a brood of vipers
and the atheists that I know,
are people that struggle
to find God in science,
as if a person can bind Him
to figures and symbols.
IV. That the will of God is carried out
That the will of God
is carried out in every decision
that a church organization
or its representatives take
and when a minister requests you to do something
it comes from the mouth of God Himself
and if you are not able to or want to do it,
you are rebelling against God.
I have heard ministers
using prayers to force
their will upon people,
as if they are twisting
the arm of God
to turn things to their way.

Ceasefire
Believers, stoked by a thirst-quenching fire
scale mountains with hope-braided rope.
Atheists, being damper and drier
tackle gentler slopes of Mope and Cope.
Some ride a pendulum high, to inspire
music and art beyond mortal scope.
Others, content in a logical mire
wash layers of mud with plain soap.
Unflinching believers aspire, won't tire
aligned by an inner gyroscope.
Less particular atheists acquire
bits, here and there in a whimsical grope.
Once, creation myths were shaped by desire
like a slow turning kaleidoscope.
Advent of printing fixed faith to require
no deviation from dogma's tightrope.
Maybe evolution was the supplier
of protective spiritual envelope.
Still, who would conspire, to maim with crossfire
unless she be a hard misanthrope.

How can God allow this...?
The cry goes up…
making atheists out of believers,
believers out of atheists…
The answer offered from the wise
or wiser, is
God granted Man freewill…
without qualification…
so couldn’t He have arranged
that we could commit suicide,
but not murder? Wouldn’t that
be fairer…?
Seems not – He has to keep
by His own rules; those same inexorable rules
that allow a single tyrant
to bring down a whole nation -
do we dare say: with its own consent?
And man seeks to rule his fellows’ lives
by some shadow of that divinely ordained law:
granting to us, in some countries, though not all,
the right to carry arms… that gun
we carry ‘for our own defence’;
we who cannot all defend ourselves
against our own impulses;
we who defend the right
to portray murder without limit on our screens…
as if to see it acted out, still preserves, maintains,
even asserts, our innocence…
we, too, dispense freewill..
and call it ‘rights’…
the solemn bells ring deep and slow;
pause; say nothing; remember; learn.

There are atheists and Christians, and there are people in both groups who are a little too heavy-handed.
Practically all the prominent leaders of thought in China today are openly agnostics and even atheists.
Belief and disbelief
Belief is the believing something
Of which you are not sure.
Disbelief is the disbelieving
Something you are in doubt of.
Aren’t theists and atheists one?
