The Athiest Bible

After work I took a short detour to the bookstore on my home. Like always I walked over to the Philosophy section first and something caught my eye. I saw a book entitled The Atheist Bible. Just the title is ironic which may have been done purposely but it was not the title in which I am writing about but its context. I examined the book front to back and then opened up to the first page. I was hoping for some strong pieces of text countering the bible like I thought it would. I thought there would be very intelligent points made and very good questions but instead it was a collection of quotes from a assorted number of authors such as Walter Emerson. I read a few quotes and how great they may have sounded they had no potency. There was no swaying arguments no great points or questions just bitterness, hatred, and ignorance. It clearly reminded me of a young teenager rebelling and criticizing his parents for his hardships and disappointment when things did not go his way.

I would have bought the book if it had something more than just quotes because if your where at war wouldn’t you want to know your enemy’s plan of attack. Besides, if they brought up or asked a good question that i did not know the answer to i would know my ignorance and fix it my doing some research and study so i am prepared for the question.

The reason i am writing this is because i have become to wonder why Christianity is so criticized and watched over like a hawk when no other religion or even cults. Anti-believers spend so much time trying to disprove Christianity but never the Muslim faith. When was the last time you saw a show on the Discovery channel going into the past in attempt to to destroy their religious stories? Now when was the last time you’ve seen this done to the christian faith? I’ve seen a lot of those shows. How many times do you here people say they hate the Muslim God and how many times do you hear the same for our God. I believe that it is because deep down they really know that God is their father. Because the Christian faith is so disputed and hated, it is more reason for me to believe that the bible is indeed the words of God. If our religion is just of a lie as the Muslim, the Buddhist, or an Native American faith then why would christian faith bethe only one that is so focused on attack. Granted Christianity is a big part of the western culture but if Atheist believed that there was truly was so God then why would they work so hard to prove something wrong as they do. For example if a person told me that the ocean can not support life i would know they were wrong. I would question what they said and counter their statements but i would not spend more than a few seconds talking to them if they do not realizes how wrong they were because as I say there’s no point in taking a blind man to an art gallery.

I come to believe that it is the devil that pushes doubt on what we know to be the truth. Emerson said that any person with intellect would question the faith and more intellect would lead to more questioning. But it is not intelligence that questions the faith it is perhaps the lack of intelligence with the replacement of another. Socrates said, “I am more ignorant than wise”, what we do know is much less than what we do not know. It is the choice of your intelligence to what you bend it to believe, all of what mankind knows is based on speculation( for they do call it hypothesis). Albert Einstein was not only one of the greatest thinkers alive but was a christian. The more he studied space and science the more faith he had in God(this would disprove Emerson’s believe in the bible).

God lets the bantering of the atheist continue because more doubt that is contributed among Christians and non believers stronger the faith must be in a believer and stronger is he.
