Atheist Snark

I've read on numerous occasions how atheists taunt Christians with something like, “So when science works to cure diseases, I suppose we're working against God who wanted to send disease and suffering into the world as punishment.”

Or something along those lines. Sound familiar Hugo?

Reality check: God did not want sickness and suffering to come into the world. Suffering, pain, death and loss are simply the consequences of the sin that we humans invited into the cosmos. We chose that consequence when we chose death over life; when we chose our way over God's way.

On the contrary, the kingdom of God, the kingdom that He gave everyone and the kingdom that He will once again give those who choose it, is one of absolute and total freedom from sickness and instead He will give us the existence of perfect Love and Peace and Justice.

To say that working for the end of sickness is defeating God's desire is to say that when Jesus gave sight to the blind, made the crippled walk, healed lepers and disease of every kind, He, Jesus was was working against God.

It's saying that when Jesus healed every type of consequence of sin including death, that God was working against God. That God was defeating God's desire.

It shouldn't surprise. Regarding all things spiritual atheists exist within that type of convoluted thinking - all the while calling themselves Brights.
