Psalm 14: 1: "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Is every atheist a fool? Such a person is foolish in terms of what God has revealed concerning our eternal destiny. We have no hope if we assume there is no God who gives purpose and value to our existence. If such an assumption were accurate, our lives would be subject only to the illusion of random chance. This is not to say that every atheist is stupid, especially in the eyes of the world. However, the atheist is a fool in the things of God, including creation, salvation, death and dying, and hope. What hope can the atheist offer? None! Their message is that when you die, you are like an animal. No soul, no hope, just return to the dust. Now I love animals, but there is a difference between an animal and a human. Animals act on their instinct. Humans have the ability to reason, if they choose to do so, otherwise they act like animals. We are the most human when we don't act instinctively, but rather reason and think out a plan. As a Christian, I offer people hope that the atheist can't. They must be the most miserable sort. Don't be miserable.
