Atheist and God

Atheist and God

“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.” 
                                                                             C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
I once got into a debate with an atheist. He in all seriousness said he couldn’t see God therefore God didn’t exist.
To which I said he couldn’t see love therefor by his reasoning Love didn’t exist. He argued that it wasn’t the same, but it is. Just because you can’t see anything doesn’t mean it nonexistent.
This man pointed out to me that the Genesis account of creation was wrong. That the world couldn’t have been made in six days.
It threw him for a loop when I told him it didn’t matter to me if the world was made in six day or six billion years. The only thing I believed was important was that it was made by God and that God truly exists.
In the end however belief in God is a faith thing.
Hebrews states,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” 
                                                                                                          Hebrews 11:1
The writer of Hebrews going on to point out
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
                                                                                        Hebrews 11:6.
For me I think it is important for the individual to decide for themselves whether God exists or not, and if the teachings of Christ are true.
As C. S. Lewis said,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
The Choice is up to you.
Think about it.
