Have You Ever Wondered...

[wyguy]

If atheists really believe that this life is all there is, why do they waste so much of their precious little time fighting against Christianity? Why aren't they going out and living every single second of their one life to the fullest instead?

Can it be that they know, deep down, there really is a God, and one day they will have to stand before Him to give an account of their lives, so they instead, "suppress the truth in unrighteousness?" (Romans 1:18)

Thoughts?

I know some nice atheists, so I won't lump them all into one category. However, I think the answer is pride and foolishness.

Pride, because they value being right, want to be seen as right and showing those Christians just how foolish they are.

Foolish, because...

Psa 14:1a The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."

i think it's more likely that since they don't have God, they have no love... and like to pick arguments with people. not just anyone. it's not that they think christians are "easy targets"... in fact, it's just the opposite. they are more psychologically stimulated by arguing against christianity with christians. they're arrogant in their attitudes, but they don't want some wimp that will blindly agree with everything they say, they want a challenge! and christians who are steadfast in our faith give them that challenge.

To be honest, I don't think they are that smart. How can they be when they think the universe created itself from nothingness, and life created itself from inanimate matter?

I personally think they are scared - deep down afraid that they may be wrong and they want either verification they are right or some proof that may convince them they are wrong.... Doubt is a scary thing....

Doubt is a scary thing

I doubt that.

Hmmmmm, why do I suddenly feel like Wile E. Coyote and a ten ton safe is about to drop on my head?

I have asked that very question of many atheists on different forums. Most have no answer but I've gotten the 'trying to reach the ignorant' response a few times.

Absolutely. All humans know there IS a God.....but some are so deceived by the one they serve (even if unconsciously) they are in total denial.

It would be horrible to not have God....and be unsure of where you were going. If they were sure .... they would be out having all kinds of atheist fun instead of worrying about Christianity. You will note they don't rail against Hinduism, islam, Buddhism or any of the other false 'religions'.

Why should they care? Think about it, wouldn't it be better to just let us live our ignorant lives instead of wasting so much of their precious little one lifetime putting out TV shows, movies, DVD's, books, websites, YouTube clips, blogs, etc., that fight so hard against us?

If they really thought this was all the time they will ever get, they would ignore us and live a carefree life.

I did some fast cruising of atheist websites and blogs....did you know that some offer Bible study for atheists? Why would they need to read about something they don't believe exists? Of course they offer articles on how to argue with a theist. They also sponsor legal actions against 'bigotry' by Christians, offer advice on how to 'come out' to your Christian family and thousands of other things; all targeted at Christianity. Not a word about muslim countries where being an atheist is punishable by death. They even post lies such as 'separation of church and state' is guaranteed by the Constitution (it isn't). They focus exclusively on Christianity.....does anyone ever ask themselves why?
