Atheists
accuse humans of creating gods in our own image. Assuming they're correct, we see that this is nowhere
more true than in the atheist community itself.
“[The
Christian God is] “Arguably the most unpleasant character in all
fiction: jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving
control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a
misogynist, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal,
pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously
malevolent bully.”
We
are usually repelled by the characteristics we think we see in others
that we dimly recognize in ourselves. This is Richard Dawkins'
perspective of Creator God.
In
reality:
Creator
God reveals Himself to us.
Through
the Bible He describes Himself.
Through
Creation we can intuit some of His attributes.
Through
Jesus the Christ, Creator God displays His character in as clear a
manner as is possible.
-
He displays power over nature
-
He displays power over sickness
-
He displays power over death
-
He displays power over sin
-
He displays love and mercy and patience and forgiveness
If
you want to know what your Creator is like, learn about Jesus who
said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen Creator God,” and “I
and Creator God are one and the same.”
All
of this goes over the heads of atheists. The laziest of the bunch
just say, “Jesus never existed,” and believe, they really
believe that they've solved their issue of accountability before
God.
Atheists
do in fact invent god's in their own image. The gods that atheists
invent are always virtually powerless, impotent and incapable of
love. They are in fact gods that are unworthy of our worship.
Thankfully
at this time of year we celebrate the arrival on earth of our Lord,
our Saviour, our Creator. He came not to condemn us but to show us
the way Home.
Don't
be such a fool that you turn away from the offer of an eternity.
Merry
Christmas
God
Bless
Happy
Holy Days
