War, crime, drugs, economic downfall and poverty are a few problems we face in today’s society. Where would someone find peace and contentment with troubles in our world?
Some find it through family and friends, while others through the love of God.
People in society who believe God doesn’t exist take a radical approach as to dealing with religious issues. The lack of belief in God is known as atheism.
I find it peculiar how the atheistic ideology promotes denying God, but has no solid evidence to disprove the existence of God. There are smart people in this world who know man didn’t create the world, sun, moon and stars, nor give humans the breath of life.
According to a recent report conducted by Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, 92 percent of U.S. residents believe in God or a universal spirit, and atheists only consist of about four percent of the population. Atheism may be a minority in our society, but there are still organizations that seek advocating the belief God is not real, such as the Atheist Community of Austin. They’re a nonprofit educational corporation used to develop and support the atheist community and encourage positive atheist culture.
There are those who worship and depend on God in their everyday life and to know there is an organization trying to refute the being of God is utterly disappointing. Denying the existence of God is saying this world is the work of some other being and this is not the case.
Atheists choose not to accept God because they believe they make their own destiny and trusting in prayer and having dependence on God is not how they want to live. Some believe God to be a mythical character and others may have lost their faith and stopped believing. Atheism is a choice, and this philosophy of having no God diminishes the foundation on which our country was built.
The Atheist Alliance International states they focus the power of diverse independent groups to facilitate common purposes and give atheism a growing voice in public affairs. The Alliance said they can persuade legislators and educate the public with a nationwide united effort to recognize the threats to freedom from basing laws and policies on religious doctrines. The goal is to establish strong, democratic atheist organizations in every state and worldwide.
I hope this day never happens. Pushing the idea there is no God is morally and spiritually wrong. Atheists know in their hearts there is a God, so they work extra hard to endorse the notion he doesn’t exist. It may help some atheists get through life not worrying about Judgment Day, Heaven and Hell, but those who believe in God and the Bible know the truth. God is not a mean and unfeeling spirit seeking to harm the world, as some may believe. Atheism should not be embraced because the last thing we need is more negative energy in our society.
Dependence on God is how individuals cope with the problems of the world and having committees or alliances trying to dispel their belief shouldn’t be allowed. God does exist, and it’s up to each individual to accept him.
