"If Christianity is false, it is of no importance. If Christianity is true, it is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is of moderate importance."
-C.S. Lewis

"The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond, but most people only look at it; and so they see only the dead letter."

-Phillips Brooks

I pray that if you are considering Atheism you will research on your own before making a decision. If you are a Christian I pray you will see that showing love, patience and wisdom is the only way to respond to anyone, including those with differing opinions. Far too many times Christians speak without thinking first. An Atheist has spent a considerable amount of time in deciding to become an Atheist and more than likely has a response on standby to anything you say.

I believe a huge problem today in all walks of life is acting on emotion. I must admit I suffer from the dreaded foot in mouth disease at times myself. Someone told me once that my view point was innocuous on a certain matter. I got mad! I didn't even know what innocuous means; I just got mad; silly huh? We must set in course our actions and allow our emotions to follow action NOT the other way around.

Psalm 14:1
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." - Psalms 14:1

What does the psalmist mean by fool? The term "fool" is in reference to a group of people who have closed their minds off to God and His word, NOT uneducated people. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary the definition of an Atheist is: one who believes that there is no deity. Is Atheism truly based on logic and knowledge or is it a control issue? I have caused a few car accidents; my wife has been in none. I am almost always the one to drive when our family goes somewhere. My reasoning is I want to be in control of the car should an emergency present itself with my family in the car. If I base my reasoning on statistics and facts, my wife is the wiser choice to be at the helm.

The practice of Atheism appears to revolve around seeking the desires of your own heart under the cloak of finding truth in reasoning rather than embracing the longing are all born with: seeking the truth which is God.
