 Have you ever noticed how many atheists hate God and how angry they get at anyone who dares to believe in Him? There were a lot of times growing up when Santa Claus totally failed me (thanks for the socks etc.). But, I don't hate Santa Claus or people who like or even believe in Santa. I wouldn't try to sue anyone who dares play, "Santa Clause is coming to town" in a public building. This is because Santa isn't real. I mean if God isn't real, then God only is a figment of my imagination. How can you hate something that I am imagining? I'm imagining, Mr. Ed wearing roller skates right now, they don't hate that imagination do they? They don't hate the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny, do they? So why do they hate my "imaginary" God?
I mean, if I had an atheist friend, (I would like to have one, but they don’t like me) so if you can find a polite and friendly atheist out there, let me know. I'm serious. Anyway, If I had an atheist friend who had three imaginary friends named Big Daddy, Jayzee, and Casper (the ghost) and my friend sincerely believed that those 3 imaginary friends were really 1 imaginary friend, I wouldn’t get angry about it. In fact, if Atheists had imaginary friends that gave them more peace, helped them to be nicer (and not so angry all the time), and more honest, I would think that would actually be an improvement. So the next time an atheist gets angry at me for believing in God, I will ask them, “I don’t hate your imaginary friends, why do you hate mine?” If God is only imaginary, why are students and teachers prohibited from talking about, reading stories about, or even praying to God. Would you get so upset if someone talked about, read stories about, or even prayed to the Easter Bunny? You might think they were crazy but you would still be so secure in your knowledge that the Easter Bunny doesn't exist that you wouldn't be threatened by it at all. So, if you are an atheist and you hate God and you despise anyone who believes He exists, this proves that you are not 100% secure in your belief that there is no God. You see, people who are insecure (doubt their own position) tend to cover their insecurity with anger, insults, and even violence toward anyone who is on the verge of defeating their arguments. So if you are angry, this shows me that you are insecure because there is a "reasonable doubt" programmed into your heart by a Creator that you refuse to acknowledge. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/… I am sure that if any atheists read this, they will get angry. But their anger only proves my point. (Hint to any atheists who reply: try to be polite, if you can. Then we might actually be able to have an intelligent debate about the most important question of life). If there is no God, there is no reason for them to get angry…unless….

Darryl has an MA in Christian Apologetics from Biola University (CA), an MA in TESOL from Azusa Pacific University (CA), and a BA in Political Science from Truman State University (MO). Note: Please share these articles as conversation starters on important topics, even if you disagree with them. Just state why you disagree and go from there. My hope is that they will help English-speaking Christians share their personal faith and beliefs on important topics with their non-Christian loved ones.
For Non-Christians and Christians Outside the USA: Please consider these articles as a gift to you sponsored by others. For American Christians: If you are blessed, encouraged, or even challenged by these articles, please make a tax deductible donation of any amount via the "Become a Financial Partner" button above, as God leads. Your finances will be used to continue and expand our apologetics, discipleship, evangelism, and other missionary ministries in Cambodia and globally (without charge to the recipients). Some missionaries who have been professionally trained as musicians etc. compose, perform, and sell their music in order to help fund their mission work. Decades of research, education, and a lot of money has been invested in me so that I am capable of communicating on these topics on a professional level. For me, these articles are my songs. Songs are often a "cry of the heart" which cannot be suppressed. I have tried my best to remain silent on these issues in the past. God may lead me to be silent again in the future. At this moment, I cannot be silent. I have come to the conclusion that when the Bible says, "the workman is worthy of his wages," (1 Timothy 5:18) that this truth does not ONLY apply to pastors. I believe that it ALSO applies to fairly tipping our waiters and waitresses etc., for their services. This is especially important if they depend on this for their income. If this offends you, then that is only indication that my articles are not valuable to you, therefore no "tip" is requested. Archives
