The problem for God-haters is that the Scriptures, which were written by God, have been proven to be correct down to the letter while astrology, faith healing, etc. cannot make the same claim.
For example, part of the book of Revelation gives details about a future time when a world dictator will force everyone on earth to receive a mark in order to buy or sell. That was written in approximately 95 AD. It is absolutely impossible for a man, writing in the first century, to know that the time would come when human beings would be able to number every single person on earth unless there was a omnipotent, omniscient Being telling this first-century man what would be occurring thousands of years after his death. And, in the year 2009, not only is a one-world government well on it's way to reality, a global currency which would have to be in place for the Revelation prophecy to be fulfilled, is in it's beginning stages as well.
There is so much evidence of His existence that one has to be so entrenched in hate and enmity with God that he can look at the evidence and deny it and reject God.
But not to worry. God will grant the atheist his wish: eternal separation from Him and the people who love Him and claim Him as Savior. You will never be forced to accept God, or be with Him, or experience His blessings or a relationship with Him. He doesn't force Himself on people.
Too bad the same can't be said of those who hate Him.
Ooh, a literalist. This should be fun. Still believe the Earth is flat? Oh, I know, it's all either taken out of context, didn't use the right Hebrew word, or it was just metaphor. I've heard it all.
The simple fact is that most of the OT was written before any society in the world started realizing the Earth may be a sphere. The inaccuracy shouldn't be a problem for anyone who takes the "inspired by God" approach.
And you're stretching it a bit on the Revelations thing. The money isn't the mark. The mark must be on you so you can engage in commerce.
You will never be forced to accept God
Well, at least not since Christians lost absolute power in government.
