Atheists know the truth

I have not seen God before. I have not heard him speak. I have not touched nor smelt his presence. He does not exist. Look, don’t look at me with those eyes. He does not exist. If he existed all the problems in my life would not have existed. Don’t talk to me about him.

See am wasting my time around discussing such matters. Good, you are now asking a correct question. Yes, I believe in the supernatural; the existence of the demons, gods, wizards and all the characters in Harry Potter and the Greek myths. Don’t tell me this is strange. God is a myth, a superstition. Who even brought this God ideology into this world?

Now this is the story. The white men came to my country. They had to find a way to tame us. Therefore, they brought the Bible to caress our conscience, give us a feeble mind and make our character weak. That is all. The Bible does not have any authenticity. Look! I speak from a logical point of view. Our mind is a blindfold of myths: myths about Jesus, his father and the third entity. They are all myths.

In the beginning were words and the words were lies that brought darkness unto the surface of the earth. The darkness covered our eyes, forcing us to believe untrue stories about heaven, hell, creation and the only begotten son of God.

Therefore, this is the story so far. He has made a submission that there is no God. He has fixed himself in a system where he only beliefs in Greek myths of creation and magical powers.

Now this is what I want to address. To the non-believers of God(s), is it that you don’t belief because God disappointed you and you can’t find a place in your heart to forgive Him?

Is it that you don’t belief because you don’t have enough facts to support what the believers claim as faith,or maybe because the people who parented, oriented and taught your core values and principles don’t belief? What is the exact concrete reason that makes you not to have faith in the things unseen?

To the other religions apart from the saving Christianity, I know you hateto read this but you don’t expect me to lie here. Listen to the atheists; you will realize they don’t argue against you but Christians. It is normal to ignore those on same the page as them. They can’t find fault.

They can only fight against what is exactly opposite to their perceptions. Just like truth against falsehood. There are no in-betweens. You want to challenge me, fine bring it on but I will not argue because the end justifies the means. They find us more challenging because they know the truth.

Ask them why they are always biased. Why do they claim to preach against religion but end up focusing on Christianity? They always mention the church in their arguments and submissions but not the Buddhists temple nor the mosque nor the shrine. Why do they hate Christians?

Fine, you are logical. Don’t throw your logical reasoning away. You can use logic to understand religion or Christianity. It is just a matter of reasoning beyond the intellectual mind and understanding. You need deeper things other than just philosophy to accept the existence of God.

Be challenged togo beyond logical reasoning and a fixed mind to seek and find the truth whereas the truth shall set you free. Be concerned about your salvation. Where are you going after death? You believe hades in the Greek and roman myths and you don’t see it to be strange, what about heaven in the presumed Christ myth?

Compare and contrast the stories of different religions, history and the natural phenomena around you linking them with the creation story whiles putting them side by side. There is a connection.
