The god of Atheism


At blog Makarios I wrote about the Triune god of atheism: Science, Pride and Intelligence. Atheists actually believe that technology and intelligence can save us. 
Stephen Hawking and like minded atheists take the absurdity one step further. They think that all we need to do is inhabit a different planet to save our species. 
These people can’t seem to figure out that where ever we go, we and our inherently flawed nature will go too.
These men can't see that our problems lie a little deeper than where we live. I'm not surprised. They can go no deeper in search of solutions than to invent machines to help us move further away from our neighbours.
When you only believe in the material, well, the material is all there is to save us. Atheists believe that we can think our way out of our problems, but on atheism, our beliefs and in fact our thinking is based upon determinism.
Oh sure, atheists would like to borrow from the Christian concept of free will and believe in our ability to be rational, but on atheism that is simply not allowable.

The Trap of Intelligence

While most atheists are, in the words of Chesterton, “Mere brute beasts,” some are intelligent. Those that have been blessed in that manner admire and worship their intelligence as though the gift instead of the Giver of that gift had the power to save.

A month or two back I was describing how Jesus used parables to reveal truth to hearts that were receptive, and to conceal truth from those who were not receptive.

An atheist who fancies himself to be a member of the intelligent subset responded that he found the parables extremely easy to understand.

Does irony make you sigh? Or perhaps bring a tear to the eye?

This man had read / heard the parables, perhaps several dozen times over the years:
He learned nothing
He heard nothing
He saw nothing
He got nothing

He walked away empty in mind and soul saying,

“That was easy!”

Nothing revealed -
Nothing received -

“That was easy!”

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."”
1st Corinthians 1:18-20
