Atheists & Agnostics

When David Bowie died, there was an online petition directed toward God to bring him back. In the words of another deceased rock legend, Jim Morrison of The Doors, “You cannot petition the Lord”.

I realize that the concept of a God may be foreign and seem foolish and not very cool to many. And no doubt it seems that way to almost all Atheists. Most frown and look down their noses at those of us who believe. They often think they are too intelligent to believe in an omnipotent being and many become very cynical at the mere mention of religion or God.

However, I am obligated to try to appeal to & convince the non-believers and those Agnostics who are sitting on the fence that God is very real and living very strong. I know this because He has both spoken and shown Himself to me, please hold your laughter. I know you are probably saying to yourself that this guy is certifiable but I assure you I am perfectly sane, after all, I am far from the only person who has ever heard God or felt His presence.

I, too, was once like you; I was skeptical and snubbed my nose at religion and the mere mention of God. I questioned God’s very existence and I had many unanswered questions.

Please allow me to do my best with the knowledge that God has left within me to answer some of these same questions I once had myself.

Is there a God? Is God real? Throughout time, many of the greatest minds in the world have believed in God. Can so many great minds from Newton to Einstein be so wrong, for so long? The world and everything in it, on it, and around it, is just too beautiful to be a chance stroke of luck. You need only look out your window at nature anywhere to witness the glory of His creation.

Why does God make us struggle? To expect God, or to blame God, for not intervening on our behalf and then be angry at God for not fixing our problems is being unreasonable. God tests us and wants us to continue to evolve.

Why am I here? What is our purpose? We are all a cog in the wheel. Mankind did not start off in spaceships, we were meant to evolve from the tiniest micro-organisms into a near-perfect being. If we can avoid our own self-destruction, humanity can then begin to fulfill our true purpose of uniting and repairing our world. Then, by the grace of God, we can go on to multiply and spread His vision throughout the universe and beyond.

The vast majority of the problems we face today have been created by man, not by God, thus they must be remedied by man. Yes, God will aid us because He loves us but ultimately we have to figure it out for ourselves.

If God is real, why can’t I see Him? Can you see the wind? Of course not, but you know it is real because you can feel it. God works very much in the same way for those of us who believe in Him. We may not be able to see God, but like the wind, we can feel Him and then we know He is there.

Many religions have been corrupted and now give God a bad name. Many do more harm than good. Far too often, God’s name has been twisted to serve the individual, the political party, the religion, the sect, or the nation.

DIFY is like no other religion, it is a secular moderate religion that embraces inclusion, not division, science and a combination of both creationism & evolution. We follow what we believe is God’s plan for both a peaceful world today and His vision for a better and brighter future for all of us tomorrow. We invite you to join us and help us change our world. There is no shame in welcoming God into your heart, only joy for yourself and God.

Whether you call God, Allah, Karma, The Universe, Spirituality, or Father, as I do. Know this, that we are all a product of His incredible design and we were all created for a reason.

When judgment day comes and God pronounces judgment upon us all, as shocking as this might be to many Atheists, their day will come too. I can assure you. On this day very few will still be devoted Atheists but by then it may be too late.

For the proponents of Atheism, those who wear it like a badge of honor and believe that their brain is the only God they will ever need. To you I say this, make peace with the creator soon, because you never know when your day is coming.

There is no worse fate imaginable than on your judgment day, the day you are to meet The Creator, that He turns His back towards you and says those four dreaded words that no one should ever want to hear, “I never knew you”. Humble yourselves now and have faith in the Lord before it is too late for yourself and for your soul. There is a good reason why they call it “faith”.
