Twilight of Atheism

Stung by recent surveys showing that atheists are
more reviled by society than even child molesters,
and with science abandoning them as relicts of an old
victorian era, they won't give up without a last whimper.
Even as they see their leaders openly embracing God,
calling for Temples to built, and others claiming that
'godlike' aliens must exist to give their life a purpose.
It almost seems like atheists 'are cursed': the recent
horrifying death of Hitchens, the living death that Steve
Hawking endures, the paralytic stutter of Dawkins as
he struggles to debate a Christian scientist. In this
twilight of atheism, with both the public and all of
modern science against them, there seems no refuge.

Studies also show atheists often know their Bible (and history) better
than some people who have a special need to brag all day how
"Christian" they are.

So let's hear more "love thy neighbor" and less rabid hate from you, k?

After two hours of conversation, Professor Dawkins walks
far afield. He talks of the possibility that we might
co-evolve with computers, a silicon destiny. And heąs
intrigued by the playful, even soul-stirring writings
of Freeman Dyson, the theoretical physicist.

In one essay, Professor Dyson casts millions of speculative
years into the future. Our galaxy is dying and humans have
evolved into something like bolts of superpowerful
intelligent and moral energy."

[So the context of discussion is now established as being
in Dyson's far future, and the following must be interpreted
in that context]

"Doesnąt that description sound an awful lot like God?"

[Again establishing that the context is Dyson's future universe]

łCertainly,˛ Professor Dawkins replies. łItąs highly
plausible that in the [Dyson future] universe there
are God-like creatures.˛

He raises his hand, just in case a reader thinks heąs gone
around a religious bend. łItąs very important to
understand that these [future] Gods came into being by an
explicable scientific progression of incremental evolution.˛

Could they be immortal?

The professor shrugs. łProbably not.˛ He smiles and adds ,
łBut I wouldnąt want to be too dogmatic about that.˛

Because Creationism is the basis of those radical Moslem movements that

The Creation Ministries in Australia and USA and elsewhere are
Christian
-based organisations. They are not associated with radical religious/
nationalistic organisations.

Moslems need to learn that 82% of the quotations in the Qur'an come
from
the Biblical scriptures and most of those are from the Old Testament.

Muhammad missed out on the teachings of Jesus recorded
in Matthew 5 : 44 - 45(a) "Love your enemies,

and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you;
that you may be the children of your Father Who is in Heaven.

Before the unchanging God changed from a war mongering
mass murderer to a wimpy peacenik?

Any book based on the bible has to be pure evil, and pure
fiction, right?

You missed out on the teachings of Jesus recorded
in Matthew 10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword.

either didn't bother to do or didn't think were all that important.
You know, things like... reducing human misery and suffering...

Ephesians 6 : 13, 17 Wherefore take unto the whole armour of God,
that you might be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all,
to stand....and take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.

Jesus was speaking metaphorically, as He often did.
Jesus came to empower those who chose to be His disciples
to change the evils in the world, to make the world a better place.
Many Christians have done that. But there are still those who
would act in ways in the hope of preventing the Christian gospel
being given.
Acts 8 : 28 And we know that all things work together for God
to those who love God, to them that are called according to His
purpose.

Colossians 1:16 - 17
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are
in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by
him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

from God? (Colossians 1:16)

Every word of the bible is true, and we know the bible is true becuse
the bible says the bible is true, and if you remember from the
beginning of this sentence every word of the bible is tue.

These anti-creationist people would rather interpret the Gospel though
the words of a Mullah ratherthan the Gospel. Clearly, those who now
have most influence in this country are people with no love for Jesus
Christ, or the Holy Bible.
There are some things God does not forgive!

Mark 3:22-29 "he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has
forgiveness, but is subject to eternal? condemnation;

Matthew 12:31-32 "but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be
forgiven men." "whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be
forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come"

John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father but through Me."

They are not so much anti-creationist as anti lies and deception.

They have come to realise there is nothing to love about Jesus
or the bible.

>There are some things God does not forgive!

There are some things I don't forgive!

I can't forgive a deity that refuses to use its power to make
everything good for us.

I can't forgive a deity that allows so much hate and confusion
in its name.

eternal?
I see many Christians saying terrible things about God.

That sounds like blasphemy against the holy spirit.
