Have You Ever Wondered...

[LeonaWithHumility]

I think with some it's a case of denial; if God doesn't exist then their sinning is ok. Many others just can't believe what they can't see and touch. I believe that they argue with us out of fear. They put the Lord down because it's impossible for them to believe in His power and love.

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?

In short they're pawns being used by Satan... it gets much worse in the end when they have a leader to follow.

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:

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?

Completely agree and good answer to your own question...!! They know there is a God they just don't want to be held accountable because they still love their evil ways(not that we're perfect either).

They might even feel that since they have rejected the truth and don't know it, that they can use that as an excuse with God to get a free pass to Heaven with their sins and all!! False hope!

John 3:18-21

18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.[a] 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

What a great passage! My 2 cents is this, If we, the Christian, are right there, existence becomes illegtitimate. There whole existence is based upon that one belief, "there is no God". They need this to be true like they need there next breath. With this mind set, life is pointless, and therefore they can live life any way they wish, all along they have to "supress the truth in unrighteousness". We and our world view and faith present a colosal size threat to there world view and faith. Its a great feeling to have truth on our side!

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....

Right

They focus exclusively on Christianity.....does anyone ever ask themselves why?

Because Satan doesn't need to spend too much time on false religions. Why would he direct his unknowing followers against the false religions he wants to promote?

Exactly. It's very telling.

The world can tolerate any belief - except Christianity.

I think it's one of the best proofs that Christianity is true.

lets put it this way: there is no such thing as an Atheist, there are only Agnostic who need to be made realize that they are not at all Atheist but a Agnostic who CHOSE to make him(her)self THINK that there is no God. to say "there is no God" is to make an absolute statement. in order to make an absolute statement that so completely and utterly refutes something or someone, one must first have absolute knowledge in regards to that said something or someone or else he(she) cannot keep from a possibility of being wrong. one cannot say that there is no gold anywhere on earth lest they, or someone else before them or something, first searches every atom and every littlest particle of this planet and its atmosphere for any whatsoever trace of gold. no Atheist has enough knowledge to make a statement like "there is no God". no one can claim to be an Atheist without fist having absolute knowledge of everything there is to know.
