This debate has gone on throughout my lifetime, and well before. But before I descend into this snake pit of dispute, I want to point out something. This is all very much a sidestep from the real issues. I drop in now only because people on both sides – Christian and Atheists – make it a big deal.
Dumb stuff Christians say when they treat the Bible like a science book.
A pig with lipstick. The pig is atheism. The lipstick is true scientific discoveries but placed on the pig in an attempt to make atheism look “sciencey”.
Christians have lipstick-laden pigs too! For the Christian: Why are you arguing with scientific evidence? Fight the atheism behind the evidence, (or lack thereof). But stop fighting true science.
Humanity – Something Very Different.
It is tragic to see our country on fire over the same race issues that have plagued America for hundreds of years. The tragedies of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor and many others show we are still in need of national healing.
There are very few issues more contentious than this one. Many strong feelings on both sides of the debate. One side claims the other is murdering babies. The other side retorts back a violation of civil liberties and abuse of a woman’s freedom.
That’s the famous quote from Invictus, a poem by William Ernest Henley in 1875. Apparently, you can ask him about it. Surely he lives since he claims ultimate control over his fate and his soul. Right?
I have been on both sides of this debate and now find myself solidly standing on the side of belief in the Christian God.
How could I possibly stay an atheist with such a horrible, homophobic theory? The Gospel vehemently disagrees.
I cringe whenever I see one of those screaming, hate-sign-carrying church people. Please don’t tell me I have to call them my brethren. Ugh.
Previously, I discussed our atheistic culture and how its bankrupt ideology provided me with no meaningful answers to life.
Christians say they have faith. Atheists say they have science. Really? Truth is, we both have both.
There have been lots of questions about how I can be both an Atheist and a Christian. Maybe this blog entry will help clear it up.
When you have a story like mine, one of abuse, neglect, and powerlessness, you find yourself searching for answers – a desperate quest for meaning.
I tell my Atheist friends, “The only reason you are still an atheist is because you are bad at it.” I am a good atheist. That’s why I now believe in Jesus.
Yes, I am an atheist. And yes, I am a follower of Jesus. Now before you label me delusional, please read a bit further.
