The atheist doesn't believe one one and I trust God for it. i have no other choice.Brant Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593149504013469895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043107720628785237.post-51615082281703572132012-03-01T13:03:25.668-06:002012-03-01T13:03:25.668-06:00...although, I have wondered now and again, what i......although, I have wondered now and again, what it would be like to do whatever I wanted, without any thought of eternal consequences.<br /><br />And I think that is where the Law of Unintended Consequences kicks in.<br /><br />It all seems fun and fine and grand at the start - but always ends badly. I think that is seen in the world time and time again... witness Whitney Houston, say. And thousands of others.<br /><br />God's ways really are the ways that lead to the fullness of life because He is the one who designed it. He knows how it works best!StoryGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111140726689379002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043107720628785237.post-72398095458483343632012-03-01T11:22:41.624-06:002012-03-01T11:22:41.624-06:00If you were really wise - as of course you are! - ...If you were really wise - as of course you are! - as an atheist you would be living pretty much the same way you do now, since you would have deduced that the way to live described in the Bible really is the best way to live. You would see that God's way (even though there really isn't a God, of course) really is the way to life at its fullest.<br /><br />But then you would miss out on knowing you are truly loved by the creator of the universe and your life has actual meaning...<br /><br />...but, details!<br /><br />It amazes me when I think how "the world" tries to go its own way, and live apart from God and His ways - and how clearly it doesn't work! The world is a huge mess, with wars and pain and suffering because we don't live the way God created us to live.<br /><br />Imagine what the world would be like if we ALL did!<br /><br />..well, I guess that would be heaven!StoryGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111140726689379002noreply@blogger.com
