A friend of mine recently shared her feelings about some comments she read by Atheists about Christians. She said, “I mean, really, if you don’t believe in God, just give it a rest, instead of talking about Him ALLLLLL the time!...What’s wrong with people these days?? It seems that atheist think about God more than Christians do…”
And I would say, why do they even care enough to think about it much less write about it? If they don’t believe, why does it even bother them that others do? Shouldn’t they just be content in the choice they’ve made? That is, if they are really content in the choice they’ve made.
I have to suspect that the ranting and raving about Christians has to do with the ranting and raving going on in their own minds that screams discontent, disconnect, disappointment and despair! They can only know real peace when they are brought in line with the God Who is there and Who really cares about their condition and did something about it. Jesus Christ came to seek and save the lost, to heal the brokenness caused by our sin. What hope the Christian has in this dark world!! Not so the “ranters and ravers”! They have no hope because they have no God, not because God is not there. But because they have said, “No God for me!”
“They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace’, they say, but there is no peace.” Jeremiah 6:14
