The atheist and Christian view of life
December 23rd, 2013
I came across this today which I thought was very clever. It contrasts the Atheists view and the Christian view of life. One you read from the top down, the other you read from the top up.
The Atheist View of Life
I will live my life according to these beliefs
God does not exist
It’s just foolish to think
That there is an all knowing God with a cosmic plan
That an all powerful God brings purpose to the pain and suffering in the world
Is a comforting thought however
It
Is only wishful thinking
People can do as they please without eternal consequences
The idea that
I am deserving of hell
Because of sin
Is a lie meant to make me a slave to those in power
“The more you have, the happier you will be”
Our existence has no grand meaning or purpose
In a world with no God
There is freedom to be who I want to be
But with God
Life is an endless cycle of guilt and shame
Without God
Everything is fine
It is ridiculous to think
I am lost and in need of saving
(Now, read the lines from the bottom up for the Christian view of life)
