Atheism unveiled

Advocates of Atheism are becoming more vocal and gathering more attention in the United States than ever before. They must be exposed.Thankfully the scriptures reveal the inner struggle of the professing atheist in more than one place.

Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.” The atheist will try to declare Theism as irrational and will offer as many arguments as he can muster to justify his own views. The Bible lets us all know that the rejection of God’s existence is not a “mind” problem. It is a “heart” problem. The truth is simple. Every atheist, regardless of his arguments, knows there is a true and living God. I submit his rationalizing is as much an effort to relieve his own mind about the truth of God’s existence, as it is to try to convince others.

Romans 1:20 speaks with equal and more forceful clarity than Psalm 14 when it states, “For the invisible things of him (God) are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.” Verse18 -19 tell that men suppress the truth of God in their own hearts. Later in the passage, verse 28 reveals that these same people do not like to retain God in their knowledge. They know He exists, but they just do not like it.

This information should be a help to theist and atheist alike. The reader can be sure that every atheist once believed in God. In reality, each atheist still believes in God, but claims unbelief outwardly. Rather than argue that point, we offer the following as a pathway to recover open and honest belief in God. The person who professes Atheism once rejected his belief in God. I commonly ask the professing atheist when he stopped believing. Some will try to convince me they never believed. Of course, I know that is not true and they know it is not true. Every atheist has something in his/her past that caused the rejection of God. For some, it was evaluation of the world and the conclusion that God does not do things the way the atheist would do things. Some think God is unfair. Sin and suffering are unfair. The reality of a place called Hell is unfair. On and on it goes. The atheist has imagined what he thinks God should be like and when God failed to measure up, he rejected God. Then there are some who have been failed or hurt by someone who supposedly represented God. Sometimes it has been a parent or perhaps a religious leader. The anger and bitterness held against the person is transferred to be held against God. Sometimes it is guilt that has come from plunging into immorality. Knowing that these sinful ways would be worthy of judgment by a holy God, the person chooses to reject God instead of rejecting sin.

Atheism is the heart rejection of God. The atheist is called a fool in the Bible, because he is rejecting what he knows to be true. To the atheist we encourage an honest evaluation of what happened to cause you to reject God. Return to Him. He is still there.
