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.

 Some famous atheists are: John Lennon, Jack Nicholson, Jodie Foster, Sigmond Freud, A.J. Ayer, John Dewey, Emma Goldman, David Hume, Thomas Henry Huxley, Karl Marx, Thomas Paine, Ayn Rand, Carl Sagan, Margaret Sanger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Clarence Darrow, Madelyn Murray-O-Hair, Isaac Asimov, Ron Reagan, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Woody Allen, George Carlin, Katherine Hepburn, George Meyer, Gene Roddenberry, Robert Smith, Douglas Adams, Richard Dawkins, Paul McCartney, Christopher Hitchens, Bruce Willis, and Joseph Stalin.

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.
