I saw on the news tonight that an atheist group has put up a billboard on one of the busiest highways around here, it's advertising a gathering they're having on the National Mall in D.C. The billboard says "celebrating life without God" (of course the didn't capitalize the g in God). I've read a lot of posts and even made a few on the FB page that the news anchor posted on. While I don't agree one bit with what they are doing, I don't wish them any ill will, in fact, I've been praying for them. They're even angry about that. They are saying that they feel that we as Christians are looking down on them by praying for them. Hmmm....
First of all, how can someone celebrate life without God? Even if they refuse to acknowledge the existence of God, He's still very much in their lives! Where do they think the very air they breathe comes from, or their own existence, or the food they eat, or EVERYTHING? God is the Creator of time and the universe and everything that exists and this group has the audacity to claim that they are living a life without Him? These are people who are very educated, very accomplished, and very smart yet they can't or I should say won't acknowledge their Creator. The very one who gave them that intellect that they use for every purpose but to glorify Him.
Secondly, I believe that they feel inferior when we say we will pray for them because their very souls know that their minds are misleading them. Every person that has ever existed has done so for the purpose of giving God glory, when they don't do that, their soul (which longs for God) tries to make them acknowledge Him, but their carnal minds and bodies do everything to fight it. If they don't believe in Him, why are they spending all of this effort to fight Him? Or are they just trying to convince themselves and and everyone else that He isn't?
I will continue to pray for anybody and everybody who doesn't believe in the Lord their God, His son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity!
