I don't respect the concept of atheism but respect the people that cling to it. For a few reasons, irrespective of any "logical" reasons that life may hand one that oppose the existence of God, He still is God, from creation to the very breath we breath. Sugar doesn't stop being sweet once a scientist comes up with a "logical" reason why you can alter your mind to taste sourness when you eat sugar, you'll eat it and it will remain sweet. Another reason is, we where not born unbelievers, we believed milk will flow out of our mothers breasts when we where breastfed, not knowing, just believing. Ok, maybe you don't get that but here's what I'm saying: from infancy we all believed there is a higher being that created or orchestrates life, but a fancy degree later, we seem to have gained the audacity and eloquence to doubt God's existence. The same person who still believes in other powers (even basics like electricity) and used to wait for the tooth-fairy, easter bunny etc. For me there's not much sense there. I would rather believe and later find out God doesn't exist (which I highly doubt) than not believe only to discover He does exist and I'd spent my life in deceptive, time wasting and confusing thoughts and false theories, denying myself peace, liberty and the bliss of experiencing an omniscient amazing God. I might be offending someone, but I am not looking to argue with anyone, this is merely my 2cents worth. When one gets to know God bit by bit they realize, like I have, that He is a liberating God, He opposes religion and is far more simpler than what this world perceives Him to be. I've experienced a firm and loving God who is not interested in persecuting us for what we don't do right, but sent His Son to enable us to think and do good. He is the air we breath, we can't measure Him, taste Him, feel His texture or fathom His totality with our mere minds, but that's what faith breeds, believing in a God who's face you have never seen. I also know of how its His will for atheism to exist, and that when He rises to pursue the heart of an individual, no explanation or debate will withstand His love and mercy. Its also Him using my thoughts to write this piece, not to challenge atheists but to glorify Him to His own. We have been chosen, carefully selected to believe, entertaining any other thought that tries to exalt itself above the knowledge of God is unnecessary but guarding against these increasingly growing concepts is vital. For decades now atheism has become viral and perhaps because now I'm experiencing family and friends that confess it as their truth is why I am writing this piece. I believe this was written from the believer in me ONLY, which means tomorrow I will be extremely unable to channel myself to have the "debater" come out in regard to this topic. All sorts of questions, opinions, time lines, scientific theories will be posted but none entertained. God exists. If this makes someone angry I think that may have been the point and His existence opposes religion (and religion always dies screaming). To someone, I may not have made much sense but truth is not for everyone but hence I said in the begining, we need to respect everyone irrespective of what they espouse as truth.
