Apologetic Argument - I'm an Atheist

 I'm an Atheist

I have seen this statement many times in different groups that I am a part of. It is a profound statement that boldly says "I do not believe in God, and I know there is no God." It is different than an "Agnostic" which is someone who professes that they "do not know if there is a God". but back to the Atheist, the person who has proven to himself, using some method that says without a shadow of doubt that there is no God. This is something that I recently have thought about and it makes me wonder what proof they have, or what method they used to convince themselves of such a bold proclamation.  

Here is what I have come to understand. Atheists want to be known. They want their position to be known to others and they need this self affirmation in order to give their lives purpose. Without God the only purpose they have is to randomly stumble through life, hoping that they live a Good life, because they have no definition of Good, so they can live however they want and say it is Good. So here is the basic understanding of what the truth of Atheism is. 

1. No long term goal. Any goal ends at death. so the best they can hope for is that by the time they die they don't find out there is a God. 

2. No Moral Standard, other than what they themselves develop, or what some other person develops for them.

3. No basis for a good life. Because there is no standard of Good, other than what is made up by you or made up by someone else for you. You live only for yourself or to be seen good by someone who made up the definition of good you subscribe to. 

4. Thoughts have no purpose. Any thought that is developed, is a random spark of energy that happens between cells inside of your brain, and those thoughts are random and may never happen again. 

5. The best you can hope for is that Christianity is not True. You have condemned yourself to going to hell, or to nothingness since you don't believe in hell.

6. Naturalism if that is an Atheist's belief, ends at death. the result is nothingness.

7. Legacy on the world is the hope of an Atheist, but it doesn't really matter does it?

In my opinion it is a very sad and depressing life that is presented to the Atheist. I am a Christian who will live forever in the presence of a loving God who has defined what is Good and he is the pure definition of Love. An Atheist will always go through life questioning if there is a God. He will argue against it, he will adamantly state scientific stats, or methods or tout about all the things HE heard about from other Atheists or Scientists or whatever things he uses to convince himself of his "truth". But in the end, when all is said and done he will know that he can come to God, Confess in his Belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and be Saved. God's Grace is so Great that even an Atheist's ramblings is not sinful enough to stop God from loving him. 

The WORST that can happen to me is the BEST that an Atheist can hope for.
