Discernment Day Ten

There is no god. Really?

Did you choose to be born?
Have you ever seen anything spontaneously appear?
Have you ever looked at Mount Rushmore and thought, “I wonder how many years of wind erosion it took for that to form?”
Have you ever seen a sand sculpture at the beach and thought, “Wow, look what the waves did?”
Have you ever looked at a house and thought, “Look, a tornado must have blew through a lumber yard?”
Have you ever studied the complexities of the human eye, or the amount of activity that goes on in the body for blood to clot and thought, “Wow, all those important functions that have to happen at just the right time all happened by accident?”

I must say, to believe that there is no god takes more faith than I could ever muster. Of course, this is to be denied with the argument that only those of less intelligence need a god of sorts, yet, intellectually speaking, god cannot be explained away and if intelligence is what is necessary to eradicate God, then I pray I never reach that state of intellect!

At conception innate knowledge of God is written on our hearts. Those who turn from God know in their hearts what they are doing. Even the heathen and pagan, as well as idolaters know they are turning their hearts from God. Why would they choose such a thing as to turn from their Creator? Because to confess and acknowledge a Creator means the necessity to subordinate one’s own being to another, to be accountable. In other words, if there is no god, then I am accountable only to myself and to none other, which in essence makes me my own god, which then begs the original question, “Did you choose to be born?”

New challenge, discern what is wrong with the following statement:
Pastor, church is so important to us, it is the most important thing, but my child has an activity (game, practice, event) scheduled that conflicts with what you have scheduled, so can you change your schedule?
