In case you have not noticed atheism is catching the eyes of the public and the latest fad. PBS just showed a three part show on this topic. It was very intellectual and I felt it made itself look rather boring.

The person who wrote and starred in the show introduces the general public to the notion of  “Un-Belief”.  He tries to lure them in by showing how ridiculous and dangerous All Theists are:  Christians, Jews and Muslims and other religions.  And we know he is absolutely right. Christian who should no better are often the worse. They haven’y a clue how to love their enemies.

The problem with Atheism is that it is blind and does not see itself as a religion.  Tentmakers has a nice bit on the word Religion

Webster's Collegiate Dictionary traces the word back to an old Latin word religio meaning "taboo, restraint." A deeper study discovers the word comes from the two words re and ligare. Re is a prefix meaning "return," and ligare means "to bind;" in other words, "return to bondage

Atheism too binds one mind to a man made belief system.  It worships the logical mind of man. It tries to appeal to reason and science. It never points out the depressing end point to these of these thoughts and ideas and the hopelesness involved.

My favorite atheist quote

If there were no God, then there would be no atheists. --G.K. Chester

Anyway, while watching the other You tube video on Greed I came across this one.  Now I realize that God draws all men to Himself: but what would you say to this guy if he was sitting in your living room tonight?

I apologize because it is a little long but be patient ...oh how I can identify with this young guys perplexity…he a mirror where I was in the past…

What is the "Good News" ? More importantly how is anyone out there going to here it when they are deaf? At least God has given him the hunger.

Another bite of the scrolls and another Bitter Sweet moment

It appears that there are those who swim down-stream; making life easier, and there are those who swim up-stream; making life more difficult.
Either way, they are situated at opposite ends (freezing or boiling) – Extremism!  Both derive from the external, whereas, the latter condenses Gods Word to that of Hell doctrines, and the former congeals to self. 
 
Neither is the "Good News" spoken of throughout the Scriptures, nor by Christ Jesus himself.

My favorite quote:

"Man cannot comprehend the existence of error; He is too deeply immersed in it." -- jER

Therefore, given the opportunity "we can discuss this in greater detail?"

Beloved,
This guy knows his religion.  He's talking to himself on video about the same things that we have all questioned.  He's right.  The church's "good news" really sucks.  He is well schooled in christian doctrine.  I feel his frustration.

Exactly he is so close to the truth. That is why I found this video so intriguing....and engaging .  He is seeing the lies of Baylon.
