Ah, The Atheist Utopia Grows

It creeps and claws its ugly tentacles into every sphere of life. In the Netherlands, a leader in Godless society, death by design has grown in popularity (almost 20%) every year for the last six years. So full of meaning and purpose (he says sarcastically) are the lives of atheists, that 5% of all deaths in the Netherlands are now people choosing to end their lives. 

That's not counting the unassisted suicides.

Mobile teams of those willing to deliver death (Levenseinde), roam the neighbourhoods, taking the lives of those whose physicians have refused to cross this line for reasons other than terminal illness. Newborns with disabilities, adults with depression, even chronic pain is enough to make atheists and functional atheists believe that this life is just not worth it.

Those who see euthanasia as the panacea to our social ills either can't see or wish to not see that our right to die today will lead directly to our Duty To Die tomorrow. As the population ages, as resources become increasingly scarce and as the fact that life without God really doesn't allow for an earthly existence of meaning and purpose, death will become the expected outcome for those requiring almost any type of extra health care.

Do you want to know what's coming to North America? Just watch the social experiment taking place in Nations where atheists lead people away from Creator God and toward human wisdom. The inevitable fascination with and longing for death goes hand in hand with atheism. 

Did I say the tentacles of atheism claw their way into every area of life? Just ask the wife of a man whose morality is based upon desire, about the atheist utopia.

What Does It Matter?

Some people can’t be bothered to think through the evidence for the resurrection. 

They believe what they believe and nothing much is going to change that. If that’s how you want to live, I guess that’s your business. 

For me, I like my life to make sense. For example:

The resurrection means that my life is not futile -

It shows that God exists. People do not naturally rise from the dead. It was most certainly a supernatural event.

Certain important things in life are proven to have an objective base by the resurrection. For example:

. The resurrection means that God is in control.

. The resurrection means that Death is not the end.

. Jesus went into the tomb to show in an unmistakable manner that He came out. 

. Because Jesus lives, because He has proven His power over death, we too, according to His promise, will live again.

The resurrection means that Forgiveness is real -

Jesus has the right to condemn me to an eternity in hell.

He has promised to not do that because of my faith in what He has done.

He has shown the power to overcome the consequences of my sin.

What Use, Sorrow?

Many people wonder why God allows / causes suffering, tragedy, sorrow, difficulties.

There are of course many reasons but three obvious reasons are:

. Pain and sorrow drives those who are destined to reject Him further and further down the road to destruction.

. Pain and sorrow drives those who are destined to salvation into the arms of Jesus.

. Pain and sorrow are used by God, more than anything else, to bring about character change in those who long to become like Jesus.

Consider These Real-life Examples:

A man keeps score by how much money he makes. He cannot seem to stop judging those who make less.
- He is fired from his executive job - no one executive job but two.

A woman keeps score by the age and style of her furniture. She cannot seem to quit thinking less of those who have older, smaller, less than.
- The downturn in the economy forces her to buy used.

A person with depression becomes overly dependent on her husband.
- A death in the extended family forces her husband to leave her on her own while he takes care of business.

A woman lives with guilt because of being physically abusive toward her children. She prays for “gentle hands.”
- Arthritis renders her hands all but useless.

A man struggles with chronic unfaithfulness.
- Medications to treat a physical condition makes sex nearly impossible.

A man struggles with chronic lying.
- He is caught in a series of lies that threatens the survival of his marriage.

Without these difficulties and sorrows, these people would, in all likelihood still be caught in the folly of their ways.

Fools will cluck, cluck at the meanness of God for bringing these difficulties into these people’s lives.

Each of these people are today, giving prayers of thanksgiving for having been released from their bondage.

Fools will say that all this is coincidence.
