Honestly, you all have very good points, and unlike a lot of strong believers i can see how and why some athiest believe in things like they do.
First off, Realville has his own free will and right to believe in what he wants, as does every other person living in this country.
The Hypocrisy that the Christian faith has in some of its churches is a HUGE dilemma of why many non believers say and act the way they do, or in some cases, just dont believe. You all know the story of so and so that preaches the Chrsitian gospel word for word on Sunday but can also be seen partying, drinking, lusting, and gloating on throughout the rest of the week. I could go on and on about different people like that, but you all know the story as we are all mature adults (hopefully).
We are all sinners, like it or not. Nobody is perfect and we all sin on a daily basis, without knowing it.
The Christian faith teaches us to message to non believers and spread the word of the gospel. That is great and we SHOULD do that. But we SHOULDNT force our religion on anyone like some try to do. Afterall, we all have free will, and from that we will find inner peace with God, or we will succomb to the true sins for which we pay in the end. These people that get caught up in Billy Graham and 700 club shows need to realize that anyone who needs to see the celebrity spolight of national television is more than likely not teaching Christian, especially our youth the right message.
The fact that the man we put all of our faith into died for what he believed in should show each and every single person that you must give up everything and SACRIFICE all things in order to reach the promise land.
I think that in order for anyone to "live right" we must find a place of worship free of all things that could make it burn to the ground, after all thats what the devil wants. I think its important to find a place where you can feel welcomed and feel like your being talked directly to instead of a church where hundredss of people attend and your just another person in the pues or at the altar. I find that there is usually one church in every town where it seems like the mayor goes, as well as all of the other big businessmen and city royalty that seem like they only show up for there place inside the city and also for there spot at the top. I think its important to sty way from those types of places as many people could really bring out the hyprocricy to its full effect. Im not saying any of those are like that, because as the bible states its not my place to judge and i pass judgement on noone because they will get judged one day sooner or later.
I know its hard for athiest to believe in the world we live in today. Theres so many question marks out there on this and that and how things really went down, and my only answer to that is, you either have faith or you dont. Its your choice and by that choice in my eyes, its between you and God whether you believe in him or not.
But, when you take a little you must give a little and a lot of Athiest go to far in there talks against Christianity and should show respect for the people who dont force them into there beliefs. Just like we dont have the right to push ourselfs on athiest, they have no right to degrade or belittle Christians. We, as a country shouldnt show favoritism toward any realigion, especially minority reliagions such as Mulisms. Nobody, regardless of race, religion, or wealth should recieve better treatment than anyone else. This happens way to often in our government as we seem to cater to the minority.
But im no preacher, nor a saint, or do i live right all of the time. For that i will have to answer. I truly hope all you find peace inside yourself before your time comes and i mean that. For any non believers i say, God bless, and may you find your true meaning as others can not make choices for you, but i will say find somewhere your comfortable and give the lord a try. But dont let ANYONE persuade you into doing anything that you do not truly want to do and dont fall victim to pressure.
