How true this article is! Atheists are willing to talk about atheism in their atheology and develop that theology of theirs' to their hearts' content, but no talk of God is allowed, no talk of beliefs or faith or religion outside that. When I say "no talk of God allowed" what is meant is no talk for God or for Jesus. But the atheist is more than willing to share his hostility against God and against Christ. If you are willing to engage in this behavior with the atheist then by all means, join the club says the Atheist.

This is an unethical doublestandard!

The article is about the varying views of atheism. They can't seem to agree on much. Some atheists might think having sex with a 14 year old is a sin, others might think 16 or 18 even 21. Consensual pedophilia is a sin, but not necessarily to the Atheist because it is consensual. Most atheists are in favor of homosexuality. No Christians are! And since atheists lower the bar on pedophilia like they do for same sex or even sex with animals, we have a hard and concrete example of the immorality of Atheists.

The atheist has no objective reference or standard of truth, because the ideas that go through an atheist's mind are all valid depending on your flavor of the month and changing tides; or, the needs of nature! There is no reason why one idea might stand the test of time and others not. Whereas in Christianity we have Scripture that can pinpoint what is objective truth through a clear understanding of God's word in the 66 books of the Bible. Even if the government permitted sex with 14 year olds, Christians would hold fast against this crime. Whereas the Atheist could say sex with 14 year olds is permissible because the population needs to procreate more otherwise the human race will expire.

An interesting example of this is found in the tv series, "The Leftovers." About 2% of the population is raptured, and those remaining on earth try to rationalize their existence why they were not taken but left (1 Thess. 4.14-18 ASV). Some scientists discover a way using radiation to make a person vanish leaving the same trace elements as in those who were really raptured. People give up a great portion of their wealth to receive this simulated raptured. There is one qualifying question given to everyone which is: "Image there are twins. One will grow up to cure cancer but only if the other dies in their childhood. Would you permit the latter to achieve the former? If the person answered Yes then they were denied the vanishing treatment." The point being, you need to be of a purer conscience for it to work. Perhaps the trace elements are more like the raptured if you answer the question correctly. Take the red pill in the Matrix. The blue pill is for Atheists. So in Atheism pedophilia is permitted under some circumstances for natural reasons. Under Christianity no circumstances would permit this. Therein lies the difference.

In my experience I have discovered that the atheist will retaliate and even try to destroy you if you mention reasons why atheism is immoral and false. So be ready for the fallout when you speak your mind by the Holy Spirit. You're going to be a casualty of Christianity, though you will be greatly rewarded as Luke 6.22 says.

Watchman Nee wrote on Polycarp,

A first-century Christian leader named Polycarp was arrested. The proconsul urged him to swear by the genius of Caesar and say, “Away with the atheists.” He caught up the last words of his judge. With solemn visage, and looking up to heaven and waving his hand, Polycarp cried out: “Away with the atheists.” The proconsul, perhaps mistaking this as a sign of yielding and recanting his Christian faith, pressed him further: “Swear, and I will set thee free; revile Christ.” His answer is memorable: “Four-score and six years have I served Him, and He hath done me no wrong. How then can I speak evil of my King, who saved me?” All threats and seductions alike having proved powerless, the proconsul announced to the assembled multitude that Polycarp had confessed himself a Christian. Whereupon the pyre was readied and heaped up. There he offered up his last prayer—words of praise and thanksgiving that God had deigned to accept him that day as a sacrifice well-pleasing to Him.

The atheist may try to put on a friendly face, but he is really festering underneath. Be careful around him. He has you a target on your back now. He'll act strangely towards you from now on, behaving weirdly and even estranged.

These matters don't just vanish once the communication has ended. They will always rear their ugly heads upon any meeting, because ultimately the atheist is going to Hell because he rejects Christ and thinks we came into existence from nothing; or, the universe always existed. That's crazy! Crazy ideas lead to other crazy ideas, another way of saying what the Bible says, "sin begets sin!"

Something can't come from nothing for that which does not exist can't cause anything (non-existence can't bring something into existence), and infinite regress of nature is impossible, because if it were true, you would have happened already, having had an eternity to do so.

Think how challenging this is for the Christian because the Christian is restricted by the thought police (Atheists) which Christians are required to regulate themselves, or be defriended and shunned like the Apostles were. Satan is the god of this world and imposes such lording over others to further his agenda against God. Some atheists allow 10% content against Atheism, others allow 40%, while others allow 80%. It depends.

It get's worse. The Atheist will say you can discuss anything else "except that religion" referring to Christianity. Not only are they targeting Jesus in particular, but they are also restricting discussion on anything that the word of God has a say on. For example, you can't talk about why homosexuality is evil, because the word "evil" implies God's judgment. There is no such thing as evil in atheism. The atheist doesn't want to be judged by God so they pretend God does not exist. The only way to ensure He does not exist is to disallow any discussion on any number of subjects that Christians are hard pressed to leave out God our Creator and His redemptive design.

Some I have come to know allow 0% while they have no such restriction they place on themselves to express their occasional anti-God and antichrist comments. You can't even say the word "sin;" you can't use any analogies or parables in the Bible, you can't quote Jesus, and Genesis does not exist, etc. The historicity of religion is blocked out and Christianity is a large portion of that. If you don't sense the evil in this, you need to get a conscience! The vast majority of human experience is denied by the impotence of atheism, for the fear of being judged by God is their motivation.

Again, this is an unethical doublestandard!

As Watchman Nee aptly wrote,

To recapitulate what was said earlier, all things have been created by God who is the sole source of all things. He is also above all things (see Acts 17.24-25). As men witness these created things all about them, they worship God. It is therefore wrong and foolish for the human mind to invent atheism. The things in the heavens and the earth lead us to the knowledge of God (Rom. 1.20). Yet because all these things are so varied and complex, God’s enemy Satan attempts to unite them into one [statistically currency], for he recognizes how impossible it is to sum up so many different things in God’s creation.

God’s things come from God. So far as He is concerned, the created things which come from Him are not at all for sale. For all is grace. The sunlight, for example, cannot be measured, and it need not be paid for—since He causes it to shine on the unrighteous as well as on the righteous: His grace even causes the rain to fall on them both, without cost to anyone (Matt. 5.45).

Someone said, “I need not argue with you. If you simply stop doing these bad things and begin to live more morally, God will immediately return.” How factual that is, for many fail to believe in God not because they have good reasons to do so but simply because their multitude of sins hinders them from believing. They are compelled to be atheists.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. (Ps. 14.1)

Without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him. (Heb. 11.6)

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin. (Rom. 3.19-20)
