Atheists are so deluded and arrogant that they cannot see how really pathetic their worldview is. Atheists display a horrifying mix of delusion, arrogance, and ignorance, especially when you consider the effect it has on society. This cocktail of cockiness blinds them to the poverty of their own worldview. Their underlying anger and aggression is revealed when people don't agree with them. Ultimately, they are a dangerous group, but what makes them cling so desperately to this faith-based system?
Having spoken to many atheists and after much prayerful consideration, I have come to understand why people choose to rely on the crutch of Atheism.
So what conclusion can we make from this? Is Atheism a delusion? Is it a mental illness? Is it a willful choice to reject the conditional love of Jesus and instead embrace sin? Or is it a demonic attack on the souls of the foolish? God clearly demonstrated His existence many times in the Old Testament (Genesis 6-9; Exodus 14:21-22; 1 Kings 18:19-31). He walked on the earth as the man/god Jesus, who demonstrated His divinity by walking on water (Matthew 14:22-33), killing innocent pigs (Matthew 8:30-32), and raising friendly armies of dead (Matthew 27:52-53). He did this so that when He comes back with not-so-friendly armies of angels (Revelation 19:12-14) we won't be surprised. Ultimately, I don't think it matters why atheists refuse to believe. Our response as loving Christians is set. We are commanded to convert the sinner, baptize them in every nation (Matthew 28:16-20)> This includes the godless, disgusting atheist, because they're doing their best to recruit right now.

- They Seek Pleasure Without Consequences
In an argument made popular by Charles Darwin, No God = No Judgement. It is a matter of historical fact that the reason Darwin and his science friends sought and eventually fabricated "proof" for evolution was to lend an air of decency to, if not outright justify, sin. People don't feel guilty for sneezing, the argument goes, because it's a natural thing the body does when confronted with a tiny foreign thing like pollen. There is no guilt because it cannot be "wrong" to do what is natural. And so goes the argument that because evolution proves there is no God, there must be no such thing as sin. For the atheist, rape is as morally neutral as sneezing. The first reason one adopts the atheist worldview is to sin without moral restriction. Of course the Bible tells us that just because God will leave them to their own barbaric ways (Romans 1:22-27), He will not be taken granted of. Just because His justice isn't swift according to our human sense of time, it doesn't mean it's not Righteous (Psalm 7:11).
- They Have Daddy Issues
Many adults adopt the atheist worldview because they are angry at their parents. Perhaps their parents were drunks, or abusive, or Pentecostal. Perhaps they simply did not work hard enough to stamp out the natural sinful rebellion which is a part of the child (Proverbs 22:15). As a mother, I know the best procedure is to teach the child by the time they have reached their first birthday that any noncompliance or disobedience will not be tolerated. The Etheldreda children know that when they obey and are grateful, they will continue to be blessed, and see their physical needs are met. If they are not sufficiently obedient and affectionate, they have no reason to expect anything from anyone else. In this way, they know the LORD's Justice long before their little memories have taken root; they grow up simply knowing This Is The Way It Is. As they mature and learn to read the Holy Bible, the stories they find the Scriptures reveal familiar lessons: God will not be ignored, God will not be mocked. God will have the last say (2 Kings 2:23-24; Genesis 19:26; Revelation 20:15).
- They Seek License To Be Arrogant And Condescending
"There is no God" is the war cry of the atheist. It defines their personal worldview, and reveals the state of intellectual and moral decay of the atheist. The statement itself is both unprovable, because it is not intended as a description of fact, and un-debatable, because there is no way to argue against personal conviction. They take to heart the idea that if you repeat a lie often enough, it will believed, and belief requires no proof. They argue, they demand attention, the become angry if they are not placated. The illogical nature of their worldview is lost on them. The Bible teaches that God’s existence is clearly seen in the universe (Psalm 19:1-4), in nature (Romans 1:18-22), and in our own hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11), but the atheist refuses to read the Bible, refuses to hear the Word.

- Atheists Are Aggressive People Who Want To Oppress The Peacekeepers
Atheism, like Islam, aggressively seeks to do everything in its power to silence any voice that dares to challenge this worldview. A recent example is Neil deGrasse Tyson and his taking advantage of the good will of the Fox Television Network to air his pro-science, anti-Christ show, Cosmos. Even with the generosity of the Fox Television Station, NDT refuses to extend even one minute to explain the controversy, as if it doesn't even exist. He outright refuses to allow Christians equal time to teach the Truth, and refuses to mention the fact that all this evolution fantasy is concocted by atheists who desire naught but a lifelong, guilt-free sin-fest. That kind of deception is typical of the atheist, who rejects Good for Evil (John 8:44).
So what conclusion can we make from this? Is Atheism a delusion? Is it a mental illness? Is it a willful choice to reject the conditional love of Jesus and instead embrace sin? Or is it a demonic attack on the souls of the foolish? God clearly demonstrated His existence many times in the Old Testament (Genesis 6-9; Exodus 14:21-22; 1 Kings 18:19-31).

Amen, Jesus!
