All Atheists Should Read This

There are many people who consider themselves atheists.  They don’t believe in the existence of God.  I used to be one of them.  In fact I used to argue against the existence of God, the Bible, and anything to do with religion anytime the opportunity came up, and even when it didn’t.  I was a hard core atheist.  Then one day at a party, during one of my rants, someone said to me “You argue so strongly against the Bible but you have all your facts wrong, have you ever read it?”  I said “Well, yea sort of, a bit here and there but not all of it.”   And they said “So how do you know what you are talking about?”

And I knew they had me.  They put me in my place.  I had nothing more to say.  I couldn’t argue with that and I had been publicly shamed and exposed as someone just full of hot air without any knowledge of what I was talking about.  This made me very angry, but I knew they were right.  I had no facts to back up what I was saying, just an opinion.  So then and there I said to myself “I’ll fix them, I’ll read the Bible and equip myself with facts to back up my arguments and then I’ll show them that I’m right.”  

So that’s what I did.  I started reading the New Testament and made notes along the way that I could use in my arguments.  But the more I read, the more questions I had, and the more I learned about Jesus, the more I saw that he was a pretty good guy.   He never hurt anyone, he just wanted to help people.  He healed them, he fed them, he taught them, and he promised them that he would prepare a place in heaven for all those that believed in him.  This was not at all what I expected.  

After reading the first four gospels, I stopped reading the bible and decided to prove that it wasn’t true.   So I spent the next 7 years reading every kind of occult book I could lay my hands on.  Channeling, transcendental meditation, ufo’s, reincarnation, I read them all.  I was searching for something that would explain why man was on this earth and where he was headed after death.  But nothing satisfied me, nor did it make any sense.   All I was reading was someone’s opinion and every writers opinion differed from the other writers opinion.   Who was I supposed to believe?  And where did they get all this knowledge of the unknown from?   Just like someone writing books on interpreting dreams.   Heck, I could write that too.  It’s just an opinion.

Well, to make a long story short, after that 7 year period, I started reading the Bible again and soon after that came to the conclusion that there was a God, the Bible was the true Word of God, and Jesus was who He said He was, the Son of God who came to die for our sins.  So I asked Jesus to forgive my sins and to be my mentor, guide, teacher, and friend, and my life has never been the same since.  In fact it’s been awesome.  I’ve had my ups and downs but all in all, I have peace, love, and joy in my heart and Jesus has been the best and truest friend I have ever had and He has helped me a lot in my life.

So why should all atheists read the Bible?   Because most of them haven’t.   The are like I was, just full of an opinion that they think is right without knowing what the Bible teaches.  So why not read it and see for yourself.  Find out first hand what the Bible says.  Because if you read the comments on BIN, or listen to what atheists say against God or the Bible, you can see that they don’t have a clue what the Bible teaches.   That’s why their arguments are so ridiculous.  Just like mine were before that man put me in my place.  So I say to all atheists:  Read the New Testament.   Then at least you will know what you are talking about when you make comments or talk about the Bible.  And who knows, maybe after reading it you will find that Jesus really is a pretty nice guy that you would like to get to know better.
