Atheism = 0 - Nothing


Atheism = 0 - Nothing



Atheism claims to represent reason, science and the real world. However, in reality, Atheism is a religion. Nothing is its God. Atheists worship Nothing because, even though they can not prove it scientifically, they believe, or have faith, that Nothing created everything. Atheists have Nothing like the Bible, which is a standard to teach values, ethics and morals. Atheism provides Nothing to give life meaning and purpose. And Nothing has endowed atheists with “the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Atheism gives Nothing to comfort atheists when they suffer tragedy. Nothing gives atheists hope for life after death, or ultimate justice at the end of this life, with a reward for kindness and punishment for cruelty. And so we can see that Atheism just has Nothing to offer.



The practical advantage of Christianity over Atheism

THE PRACTICAL ADVANTAGE OF CHRISTIANITY


OVER ATHEISM



Let us compare Christianity with Atheism from a practical point of view. Christianity is very practical because; #1 it provides a written, therefore stable set of rules of conduct, which is virtuous. This simplifies decision making, and protects from harm, and provides the wholesome feeling of being morally clean, - Atheism does not! #2 It gives a purpose in life, a work – the ministry. This work gives people’s lives meaning and value, from which comes self esteem, - Atheism does not. #3 It provides a philosophy which shapes the character of peoples lives. The lives of practicing Christians are generally characterized by altruism, or service to God, neighbors and even enemies. And this promotes happiness, just as Jesus promised it would, - Atheism does not. #4 It also provides a loving family of like minded friends who help and care for one another. This satisfies our need to be part of something bigger than ourselves, a community. – Atheism does not.

In summery, this faith provides; #1protection, #2 promotes physical and mental health, #3 guarantees a measure of happiness, and, #4 satisfies our need for community. – Atheism provides none of these practical benefits.

Looking at the spiritual aspects of that faith, there are the added benefits, which, again, Atheism does not provide, of; #4 a wonderful hope for the future, and #5 the comfort from the belief that there is a loving heavenly Father, who will help Christians, in a variety of ways, with their problems.
