They Claim To Be Atheists

By Ken Hughes
Jan. 5, 2006

To be something you should believe in something. If you don’t believe in anything then it stands to reason you’re nothing. I can recite many things Atheists don’t believe in but nothing they do believe in. Charles Darwin was an Episcopal Clergy student in his youth. He came from a prominent English Unitarian Family of mostly Doctors. Darwin’s belief in God and lack of faith in the strict religious teachings of the day brought him to study biology and eventually create the theory of evolution. There’s no mention of Darwin ever losing his faith in God. Atheists hold Darwin up as their God. Why is that?

It’s possible there are two separate but equal theories of how life was created and still have God a part of both. I find those who’re cretin there’s no God suspect. The written word of God has survived over four thousand years. I haven’t seen an Atheists holy book around anywhere I’ve been. Since Atheists claim, they aren’t organized into units such as churches or meeting halls how do they spread their word. Is it up to each individual Atheist to fabricate their own parables then pass them on by jungle drums?

There’s an alternate theory no one seems to have considered. That’s God has no religious affiliations whatsoever. Jews consider Moses their spiritual leader, Muslims Muhammad, Christians Jesus Christ. All seem to put God on the back burner when it comes to honoring their religious leaders. If all have rejected God as the ultimate source for spiritual leadership then why would God choose to be part of their religious beliefs? My point is no one’s qualified to make an educated declaration of what is and what’s assumed to be the truth about God.

In an article today Nicholas Olson Called me a Theist, actually he called me a bad Theist. I’m not sure how he arrived at that conclusion but I’ll accept it’s his opinion and he has a right to it. He’s not exactly right in his view of my belief in God. I believe God is all things to all men. It’s a matter of what they want him / her / it to be. God can be the sunrise over a snow-capped mountain. God can be the sunset on a tropical island. God can be that voice that warns is of danger or gives us advice when we seek it. God can be the good in us. Can an Atheist claim an affiliation with a higher power or do they assume they’re the highest power.

When I see one species feeding on another species, when I see old plant life feeding the next generation of decade plant life, when I see water and sunlight are necessary to sustain life on earth I have no doubt there’s a God. When I see scientists taking the elements God put on earth and turning them into useful products I’m not about to question there’s a God. When I remember twice being brought back from deaths door I have no doubt it was God who made it happen.

I have no quarrel with Atheists and there lack of faith. What I do have a quarrel with is their trying to make the rest of the word adhere to their views. If Michael John McCrae wants to write an article each day professing his love for his savior Jesus Christ so be it. The Atheists don’t need to read them. Mac and I have the same right to our beliefs as any Atheist has to theirs. Skip Toomaloo has every right to quote scriptures no one need read them that doesn’t care to.

As I’ve said many times article should be to inform and entertain. Those writers who can only attack other writers should find a new hobby or find chat_rooms where such conduct is acceptable. Hostility only breeds contempt.
