Are you an atheist? I once considered myself to be one. Is there such a thing as atheism? And is it a rational philosophy? What is Yahweh's view of those professing not to believe in Elohim (God)? We shall attempt to answer these and other questions on this page.

If you are an atheist/humanist, then I have a short book for you to read. It was written by a philosopher at the end of his life about 3,000 years ago in which he examines the humanist lifestyle, having experienced it fully for himself. Except for a couple of sentences at the end of his book, and one or two brief references elsewhere, he doesn't even discuss religion - his whole treatise is one of rational, scientific observation. If that appeals to you, then I'd like to invite you to read that now - I think, no matter what you believe or don't believe, that you'll be able to identify with it. All it asks is that you open your eyes wide, look around you, and use some common sense. Enjoy!

Atheism is not a common grounds for all religions, ways, philosophies and world-views -- it is a distinct world-view and religion of itself, that is in disharmony with all other paths.

Most atheists, when attacking religion, demand that if God exists that He should eradicate suffering from the world. This is one of the main reasons they reject Him. Nonetheless, 'No pain, no gain' is a fact of life that most atheists overlook. Everything worth something is attained through a certain degree of suffering and pain. If this life is not all there is, then whatever suffering we experience here is simply a means to a wonderful end. The fire that tempers steel, tempers my soul for glory, an idea that makes more sense than what atheists are offering since they are not able to eradicate suffering anyhow. In political systems where they have obtained complete control they have created even more misery. Atheists reduce themselves to a meaningless accident, the result of a cosmic hiccup fourteen billion years ago. Life to them is inherently pointless and irrelevant, nothing more than random chemical reactions. It takes more faith to believe that than to believe in a God, any day.

Three cultural paradigms*
showing how the One World Religion is Evolving
|
CHRISTIANITY
Old Paradigm |
HUMANISM
Transition |
GLOBALISM (N.W.O)
New Paradigm |
BIBLICAL ABSOLUTES & VALUES |
RELATIVE VALUES |
GLOBAL (N.W.O) ABSOLUTES & VALUES |
|
The Bible reveals reality |
Science alone explains reality |
Feelings and experience prove reality (existentialism) |
|
Yahweh (God) is personal (loves us) and greater
than His creation |
Religion is a crutch, an illusion, the opium of the people (atheism/fascism/ communism/liberalism) |
An impersonal universal god (pantheism = occultism)
makes all things one (monism = satanism) |
|
Teach personal responsibility (accountability to Truth who is Yah'shua the Messiah/ Jesus Christ and Torah) |
Teach human rights (you are your own truth = self-worship and self-accountability) |
Teach collective duties, responsibilities or obligations (the state is Truth = Totalitarianism = no accountability = dictatorship) |
Don't tolerate sin (but love sinners) |
Tolerate all lifestyles (moral anarchism) |
Don't tolerate dissenters (zero tolerance = persecution = prison, torture and murder) |
|
Trust Yahweh (God/Elohim) |
Trust self (self as god) |
Trust the state (state as god) |
* A cultural paradigm is a social awareness,
a worldview, a pattern or framework for understanding reality,
a point of view that determines how the general public evaluates
good and evil, right and wrong. A paradigm shift
means a cultural transformation, a total change in thinking,
seeing, and evaluating social issues.
