Me again...the only reason I'm posting is because you all have now really confused me about the whole question about Atheists and their alleged connection to Satan. The original post I made was inspired by comments made that linked Atheists directly to Satan - saying they are children of Satan - which essentially makes them sound like Satan worshipers, and therefore "bad" people. I took offense to this, because I do not think that a person who denies the existence of "gods" or "deities" is automatically a bad person - or a child of Satan.
Now, you have posted things like "I'm with you, I don't believe all Atheists worship (or even acknowledge) Satan, it's like you said, they worship no one or nothing." and "Most atheists dont believe in satan, so
they aren't worshiping him."
Previously, you posted things like, "If you don't choose God and follow Him exclusively, you choose Satan by default." and "God doesn't "make" a person a child of satan, a person chooses that himself. If he does not choose God, then he chooses satan by default because those are the only 2 options."
I'm glad I came back to read some more, because now I see that some people don't agree with their own assertion that Atheist = Satan Worshiper.
No one asserted that all Atheists worship Satan.The person/Creator of the Video we were discussing on this thread was the one who asserts that by choosing to be an Atheist - by default - he was serving Satan. Some of us choose (based on scripture) that his personal conclusion was a valid one. You're permitted to disagree with us if you like, but my position has never changed on this. I believe that ALL Atheists, by default, no matter how many 'good works' they do are still serving Satan - by default - because they choose not to take the FREE GIFT of eternal Life that God the Father has offered them. The reason I'm glad to see that is because, as I stated repeatedly, it isn't true.
I don't mean to be offensive, but are you GOD? Does what 'you' think or feel make anything 'true?'... No, not anymore than what any of us 'say' or think make anything 'true'. What GOD says is what's true and that's what we repeat because we repeat what He teaches. You don't have to receive it but I believe you're here by design and not by accident. And every single post that was made to try to show me anything different never really supported that idea.
I think you're interpreting what you want to interpret perhaps because you want to validate what you already believe regardless of what anyone says maybe? I don't know.. not trying to be mean or offensive, but could it be possible? There are more than two options -
That's what the WORLD would like you to think... as with most things -
Other things don't matter.. choosing 'whom' you will serve does. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.- Joshua 24:15and this case, there are at least
three from a Christian perspective. Follow God, Follow Satan, or Follow No one.
You did mis-understand, it's Follow God, Follow Satan or follow no-one... no one is still Satan. For those who have 'never heard' the Gospel of Christ, that's a different story... but to all who have heard & reject, that's equal to following Satan by default.
Additionally, as is the case in all areas of humanity, there are people who do and say things that are not appropriate.
This is true, because we're ALL Human.. even ChristiansIf a person is a true Atheist, he or she really shouldn't bother making fun of God or Jesus, or Buddah, or Zeus, because, in reality, he or she doesn't believe in them.
Makes you wonder doesn't it? MOST Atheists don't bother tearing down something they don't believe in. And, as I stated before, most Atheists are fine human beings, doing selfless things for other people, helping charities, volunteering at charity events, and just being good citizens in general.
God doesn't 'judge' us based on OUR definition of goodness closetsmkr, but 'His' definition of goodness, and outside of Himself our deeds are as filthy rags. We just can't do 'good' until we get GOD. One has to receive the FREE GIFT of the Salvation of GOD through Christ Jesus in order to be 'good' according to God's standards ...no matter how many 'good deeds' we do on this Earth. OUR 'definition' of what constitutes a 'good' person is not accurate, but God's is
Again, Atheist - NOT the same as Satan Worshiper.
