Why Atheists are right

by Vicki Phipps

Created on: January 24, 2009

The reason Atheists are right is due to the fact that what we believe becomes our reality. Thoughts become things which create what we believe, whether you believe in God or not. Beliefs derive from the mind, and that's why scientific minds tend to need proof to believe anything is right or true. Still, the facts remain the same and belief doesn't need proof to be right and true. If you don't believe me, that only means you don't see through my view. Right or wrong, belief is a choice we make and that's why it takes faith to believe in something we don't see, and besides, even if we choose not to believe, that choice in itself is still, "a belief." You see, you have to believe God exists before He can exist in your life, and that's why an Atheist is always right.

It's not as mysterious as it seems, but a scientific fact. It's all about basic physics. We have no problem believing in the law of gravity, and I'd assume that even an Atheist would say I'm right. What goes up must come down. I know I'm right, because you see, I can see it to prove it. If I push you off a cliff, wether you believe in God or not, you'll fall and crash to the ground. That fact means you'll probably die, but that doesn't make an Atheist right. It simply means the universe works, but it's up to us to figure it out. Then again, once you've been shoved off a cliff a time or two, you'll believe in the law of gravity, believe me. It's that fact that leads me to yet another fact. The fact that I survived a deadly disease, with nothing but hope and faith, tells me that in fact God does exist, and to me, my faith proved it.

It's destiny, I believe, which leaves an Atheists confused. Still, I know how they feel, and they are right to feel that way. After all, even I used to believe that destiny just happened to me and when I died, I'd be dead, gone, over and done. It never made sense to me that someone like me would be created by some kind of "High and Mighty Being," who'd in fact, create me in His image. How arrogant that seemed to the non-believer I used to be. If I dared to believe, what would that make me? A princess? To think I'd be worthy enough to command the universal laws to work for my behalf would be an amazing thing, wouldn't you agree?

Can you imagine that? Then again, maybe you shouldn't. If you went out on a limb like that, no telling what you might attract. If you're an Atheist, you'd better watch out, because you see, if you imagine that fact long enough, you might attract the faith
