“Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society. Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority.”
Abba Hillel Silver
Abba Hillel Silver is right. No atheist group has ever come up with a moral code to match that of the Bible.
Atheist can claim there is no God that is their right in a free society but that does not mean there is no God.
C.S. Lewis in his book The Problem of Pain wrote,
“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.”
It comes down to an act of faith either you believe or you do not.
The writer of Hebrews saying,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....
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 11:1,6
For me if all there is, is this world then we are as a species to be pitied. I cannot believe this spark that we call the soul, this spark that is us simply vanishes upon death. there is far more than this mortal life. Martin Luther King jr. prayed,
“... help us to realize that man was created to shine like stars and live on through all eternity.”
That is my prayer for anyone who does not believe there is a God.
Think about it.
