How is your characterization of Worship any different?
The roots of atheism are almost always moral not intellectual.
I don’t have any invisible friends in the sky. And neither does anyone else.
Many scientists begin with the assumption of ‘No God,’ and then conduct their “experiments, hypothesizing, theorizing” accordingly. It’s funny, though, when it comes to discussing origins, when it comes to considering the presence of matter which cannot self-create, when it comes to trying to understand the beginning of beginnings, they have no answer (even the “bang” of the Big Bang Theory” requires that very same non self-creating matter in order to have something to “theorize about.)
As much as science (or the atheist) wants to run from this, this much can be concluded with all certainty: since matter is not self-creating, then the existence of matter has been determined by something (SOMEONE?) non-material, to wit, spiritual. One wonders where would we be in our understanding, in finding cures for diseases, for example, if the scientist would start from the position of “there IS [a]God.”
A scientist walks up to God one day and says, “We don’t need you. We can find the answers to problems on our own, we can find cures for illnesses on our own. We can discover reasons and causes that don’t require You...In fact, I bet you I can go into a lab right now and create life just like You did!”
So, God, reluctantly takes up the bet and the scientist begins. He walks outside his lab and begins to look around until he finds what he believes is a favorable spot in the ground and commences to dig. After he has scooped up a shovelful or two he hears a voice from Heaven say, “You must use your own dirt.”
“The Earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof...”
“All things were made by Him and for Him and in Him all things consist”
“The fool has said in his heart, “[There is] No God”
What do you know for sure?....
AND how sure are you that you know it?...
This the difference between a God-Lore believer... AND an atheist..
Atheists tend to be a bit arrogant..
“believers” tend to be more “demure”...
I am not going to spend any time trying to convince some one that God exists, it would be just like some
nut trying to convince me that oil and gas comes from dead animals.
And i also will not be hard on people who do not believe in his son.
John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
One of the most horrifying conversations I ever had with an atheist was when he told me that “tragedy and death add beauty and richness to life”. Which I find to be utterly insane...
His ‘logic’, if you can call it that, was that you appreciate life more when it is short and hopeless...which is insane. Why not schedule everyone for execution and maximize the happiness?
You will rarely ever find an atheist who loves humanity enough to work day and night towards the goal of somehow trying to replace the lack of hope. If they can’t believe that God exists then they should be desperately working to replace that absence of salvation with some other technological or social miracle! At the very least it would show a great appreciation for the idea of human dignity and victory over barriers!
But the majority of atheists are misanthropic psychos...
