Heathen: One who is regarded as irreligious, uncivilized, or
unenlightened, is unacquainted with the true God
Today the heathen has tried to upgrade his
status by calling himself an Atheist with portfolio. Some of the nosiest
atheist today are associated with the arts.
The strength of atheist is the
power to argue, to counter any argument against their viewpoint. The power of
their intellect has squelched their spiritually and it lies dormant within but
is still there, alive, waiting to be discovered.
To be a true atheist, he must be
totally given over to the proclamation of his belief system, to be an
evangelist so to speak. One might
consider their system unscientific for to prove their theories (there is no
God) they must be able to reach beyond the grave and if successful in doing
that it would open the possibility of that which is supernatural, an existence
beyond the grave.
The common denominator between
Christianity and Atheism is that both are faith based; Two belief systems that
contradict each other at every point.
When both cases are put forward
with their evidence neither on the surface can be proven except in the court of
human experience. I am quite satisfied
to allow the Atheist to be convinced in his own mind that he has taken the
right way to wisdom and by the same token the true Christian should be allowed
the same grace.
It would be unfair for me to judge
an experience I have never had but should be freely able to enjoy that which is
daily on going and is that which is beyond the intellectual, whose reality is
in the realm of the spiritual. All arguments for and against each position can
be succinctly stated but one seems to be they have exchanged the spiritual for
the intellectual and the other the spiritual with the intellectual.
Many who were considered to be
great on the stage of human endeavor have declared themselves to be an Atheist
but should they be able to speak from the grave would their theories still be
the same?
There is no one who has
experienced the new birth that will deny the existence of his GOD. The
experience of the new birth for the Christian is the proof that sustains the
faith of the believer.
