Frankly, I think atheism is too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, then we should never have found out that it has no meaning. Everything is too complex, too intricate, and well designed and sculpted NOT to have meaning. The truth is science without religion is actually lame and religion without science is... Well, religion cannot do without science for religion IS science. Imagine, believing something that seems crazy and stupid to be plausible but it's a fact because your eyes saw it, or your brain believed it more because it SOUNDS more tactical and reasonable than a being who resides in the skies, watching over us, so that we would give up our lives at the end of it and ascend into a white space filled with gold, clouds, and hymns. Heck, who wants that?—they ask frequently. Not outwardly but within. They want nothing of such boring eternity so they retract this thought and are forced to believe all of these because... They are “facts”
The truth is that nobody wants to fall under any religion because they are scared of the commitments and the rules shouldering them. However I surely say to you that God has no religion. God IS religion. Believe in God, you automatically are in his religion.
Don't read this text with an arched brow because you simply don't understand the waters I'm trying to stir in the deepest part of your mind. But you can however set yourself free and soar into the heights of open-mindedness and try to understand these little things about we Christians; why we do what we do, why we believe in what we believe and the reason for believing in it.
Surely I say unto you, we weren't brainwashed as you atheist claim. We were never forced to serve this being. Yes our parents brought us up in this faith and nurtured us, instilling the fear for this superior likeness into our hearts and souls but we had a choice. We went into the four corners of school, soared the circumference of the earth, yet we found no other plausible belief concrete enough. It is not that Christianity has enough backing or whatsoever, it's just that, Christianity is just too solid NOT to be The Way.
Don't be shaken, don't beat yourself up, bringing up scientific backings concerning the ingenuity of Christianity or other faiths, the thing is, no matter how much proof you bring forth, no matter the amount of facts you dig up, science is simply too young to understand.
Religion birthed science. It was from the same religion that science came to be. The understanding started from the mind, a mind which was fueled by the spirit of the most high, that later birthed the pragmatic thought... Science.
While few may agree with this theory, others might come here and question God's actions in the old Testament and the new testament however it is good to answer these questions but it is wise to leave carnality for the carnal man. For no matter how deeply thought-out he may appear he can never understand the things of the supernatural. They accuse us of being narrow-minded and gullible for believing in something that we have never seen nor heard, something that was written in a sticky book that was edited and reedited by the same humans who criticised Him. They laugh at us, wishing we'd see the light but they don't know that the only light they see is enveloped in the darkness. Therefore, their light is the darkness. You shan't argue with these people. The same people who believe in fairies, a man who could fly, wears a blue suit with a red cape and can shot fire from his eyes. A man who was not even proven to be real, but was actually created. By the same mind that God had designed. They worship a winged man who shoots arrows filled with love potions, half man half horse, horses that could fly, and dead people who aren't dead. They call them zombies. The same people who claim that we are narrow-minded believe in these man-made fictitious beings.
Do not be angry, for I say again, atheism is just too simple a thought and thinking that you're free is actually a bondage. And a rail to utter destruction. What happens to a blind, misguided person? He/she walks into a moving train and gets crushed to bits.
You're misguided, science won't help you, God will— for he is science.
Think about it.. Atheism is just too simple.
