Atheist' May Be Mad At God. Agnostics Don't Care Either Way

Which scares you the most?  Atheism or Agnosticism?

Atheism is spreading rapidly across the world, especially in America.  In my heart I have a certain level of respect for the modern atheist because of their commitment to something.  Often times these days you will find that an atheist is more knowledgeable about the bible than some Christian's.

 I understand that their goal is to only discount the bible, but the truth is a powerful message.  Even the spirit that attempts to discredit truth has to bath in its presence and be held accountable for distorting its meaning.  To the believer, an atheist is doing the same thing that Jim Jones did; or Saul who was also Paul.

But do they study the bible for ammunition or are atheist' simply a growing number of former (learned) Christian's?  My hunch is that you will uncover a fair amount of both, which declares to me that they have spent, and are spending, some time bathing in the spirit of truth.

The discipline to study our bible is the greatest challenge of Christianity. The difficulty in understanding its content forces many of us to disregard its value, especially as a road map towards prayer and towards the simple message of righteousness through Christ.  If you would like to use the modern canonized bible to confuse people, that is hardly a difficult task.

However, the truth is like a double edged sword and the bible is a document that you would be safer to never have read at all.  Revelation doctrine declares that civilization hangs on the balance from those who have yet to learn about the gospel of grace contained within the Christian bible.  Atheist have organized their own religion around the notion that none of this even exists.  The problem with their effort is that they offer no incentive to those who conclude that atheism is right.  What is the consequence if there is no God and no Jesus Christ our savior?  There is no consequence, so why bother?

The religious fervor of modern atheism has forced the really smart fence straddlers (called agnostics) into a virtual pool of collective freedom from this tug-o-war of righteousness.  Smart people who listen to the skeptical view of God can easily be convinced that there simply is no proof one way or another.  All of those Moses stories and Jesus miracles could simply be like Greek mythology after all, and no one is alive to verify the truth.

The agnostic remains straddled on the fence because the flower and the humming bird, the sunrise and the sunset make it hard to discount God altogether.  Yet, even these miracles are hardly proof.   The agnostic considers both sides of this religious tug-o-war to be a strain on their enjoyment of life and freedom from religious oppression.  They are right because religion, and its oppression, is the very thing that Christ came to save us all from.  Religion is entirely of the devil. When worshiping God, or denying his existence becomes a burden, you have probably been overrun by religious indignation.

Agnostics and Atheist' are, by design, educated objectors. They are not the ignorant of God or of the gospel. Never fear the danger to those truly ignorant of Christ, for every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, and every man on earth will be given the opportunity to know the Son of man. At the risk of minimizing the atheist religion, they are nothing more than people who are mad at God and gather together to deny his existence in response.  God can use the angry one's in the end just like he used Paul.

Agnostics on the other hand have the idea that we have no way of knowing (or caring to know) either way.  Agnostics are among the lukewarm fence straddlers that lack passion either way.  There is a thin line between love and hate because they come from the same emotional passion. To organize people together in atheism takes a passion for your cause.  Indifference is the highest expression of not having love, and agnostics may be the modern idealist' in the greatest realm of spiritual danger.
