Atheism: the Intellectual Embarrassment.

"Just because a few atheists believe that everything came from nothing doesn't mean that all atheists believe that." Robert Madewell

It’s not a matter of not believing it. It’s a matter of definition. If you say of your Ford Expedition that you have no belief that there was a maker, then you think that nothing made it. It just happened. You have defined yourself as having that mentality.

So if you call yourself an atheist, you are saying that you have no belief in a God--a Creator. Creation just happened. Everything you see--all the different breeds of dog (both male and female), all the different breeds of cat (both male and female), all the different fish in the ocean (both male and female), giraffes, elephants, cattle, sheep, horses, birds, flowers, trees, the sun, the moon, the stars, the four seasons, night and day, the marvels of the human body--the eye with its 137,000,000 light sensitive cells (we have been made well Robert) . . . all these marvels of creation were made by nothing. They all just happened. That’s atheism at its core. What an intellectual embarrassment.

Then the professing atheist has the unbelievable gall to consider himself intelligent, and he thinks that science backs up his delusion. Think of the ludicrous language an atheist is forced to use. He can’t say that creation was "created" and he has to avoid saying that everything has been "made." He will even say that he has no beliefs . . . that he is "without belief." His problem is that he hasn’t thought his beliefs through. If he has any intellectual self-respect he will move from the "nothing created everything" belief, to the "something did it but I just don’t know what it was." And is doing so he distances himself from the embarrassing label of "atheist."

With the number of Christians in the world, the number of people Raptured in insane situations will be quite high I believe. The destruction is potentially catastrophic:

-people raptured on the toilet

-people raptured heading down the Autobahn at maximum velocity

-Christian pilots raptured, and in some cases co-pilots as well, converting the
airliner from a means of transportation to an 700 ton missile

-Christian doctors Raptured in the middle of a surgery

-Organ donors raptured before their parts are taken

-School bus drivers and all the children on board raptured, leaving the bus to careen down residential streets

-Ambulance drivers raptured on the way to the hospital at 70 mph, leaving the passenger in the back gurney

-Death row inmates raptured moments before their execution, leaving prision and state officials baffled

-Some cities with their senates, congress and infrastructure missing

-A mom raptured while driving down the highway leaving her unbelieving teens careening within the un-piloted vehicle

-Zoo keepers raptured, leaving hundreds of animals to starve to death

-Dogs and cats run wild in the streets after their owners have been raptured

-Crime explodes as a result of many police officers being raptured

-Thousands of inmates escape prisons and flee into city as a result of raptured security personnel

-Terrorists bolster their efforts to plot against the U.S., thinking the disappearances are a sign from "allah" that the infidels are being punished, the worst of them disappearing all-together.

This is just a fraction of what can occur. Truly, you may be in the middle of something when it happens, but when it does, just be glad that it did and you were taken. No matter what you were in the middle of when the rapture happens, you won't care when you see yourself soaring in the clouds about to meet God. It won't even matter. Just be glad you weren't left here to face the aftermath, now that would be embarrassing and horrifying. The chaos that will fall on our planet will be a blessing compared to the grief you'll feel at being stuck here for 7 years, 3.5 of which you are not likely to survive. I honestly don't care what I'm in the middle of, just take me home Jesus!!
