Conclusion of 1 - 6
}{
Since the philosophy of naturalism and modern atheism exclude absolutely every possible reality except the natural in spite of the voluminous bodies of evidence in favor of transcendental realities, we can also conclude that atheism is the most closed-minded world view imaginable. We talked about atheism as a delusion. We saw the connection between the philosophy of naturalism and a prison. People are trapped in this delusion prison with Satan as the warden. He has blinded the people who are trapped in his prison and they are unable because of this to see what is directly in front of them. Blindness is an affliction which prohibits people from seeing what is right in front of them.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe not, lest the light of
the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of
God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:4
There is a reason that the vast majority of people have genuine anecdotal experiences of transcendental realities. A person with an experience is never at the mercy of a person with a theory or a philosophy. This book doesn't attempt to discern what the experiences mean in relation to the different transcendental experiential possibilities but there must at least be an acknowledgement of the reality of their
existence. Apart from that obvious evidence we looked at logic and good. They are both without natural origin and are universally applicable in nature. Logic is an a priori designed to be used as a tool to assist in our understanding and comprehension of the natural world. “Good” is our universal and static goal for judging our actions and the actions of others and by extension whatever else is happening around us. Logic leads us to proper judgment. Millions of people are imprisoned all over the world based on logic they themselves did not understand as judgment was handed down against them based on our ability to access a transcendental knowledge of what is good or not good. In chapter 2 we talked about the religion of atheism. The philosophy of naturalism must ignore vast amounts of experiential evidence as well as evidence from virtually every scientific discipline. Therefore it must be a religion. We talked about how modern atheism fits with the definition #6 from dictionary.com which states: “something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience: to make a religion of fighting prejudice”. Atheists make Youtube videos; write books, etc promoting their world view making bold declarations that fly in the face of reality as we know it to be. We know things about history, for example, that soundly refute the atheist world view and yet modern atheists simply ignore the evidence and move forward with their promotion as if the evidence isn't there. This exhibit’s the fine line between the religious zealots trapped in the philosophy of naturalism and mental instability. Perhaps the line has been completely blurred and may no longer exist.
In chapter three we discussed the doctrines of Atheism. We discovered and isolated five main constitutional categories which seem to make up the religious dogma however unaware the participants may be. We talked about the reality of cannibalism as an acceptable mindset in the religion; not that they are eating other people daily or even at all but we showed evidence that they have already made up their minds as far as their willingness to do it if the need should arise. It may seem odd to write about this and believe me I thought so too at first but in the atheist worldview, like any other prison, there is no shortage of weird activity taking place. And what a person is capable of doing and in fact has already made up their mind that they would do, begins with a decision made in the mind and heart first. Cannibalism is the default position of the ungodly as we pointed out from scripture (Ps 53:2-4, Jer 19:9 and Heb 4:12). People are what they think, not what they do.
Next we talked about the doctrine of elitism; how the academic indoctrination mills place so much emphasis on the intellect that any other source for enlightenment is utterly discarded and rendered the object of ridicule. Elitism puts a level of false dignity on the religion of Atheism and provides the building material for prison walls built by the atheists themselves.
Next we identified a particularly cruel doctrine: defeatism. We gave real life examples of the defeatist mentality so entrenched in the religion of Atheism. These people are eventually convinced that there is no hope at all for them in any area that is outside their own mental capabilities. In fact, when offered the very real hope that is available because of the truth of the existence of the transcendental creator who loves them and offers them salvation the atheist becomes almost hostile and resents the offer. It is a disgusting worldview and the Bible tells us to defeat these types of mindsets at every opportunity, hence the reason for writing
this book.
Next we talked about the doctrine of liberalism. It is a main tenet in the religion of Atheism and a very destructive one at that. Liberalism, by definition, is basically an “unrestricted” lifestyle in every area of pursuit. This is by definition a mental disorder. No one can live a truly unrestricted lifestyle. We all must implement conservative principles into our daily lives in order to be considered functional, trustworthy, and sane. There is no way for a person to remain married if the person does not self-restrict him or herself to one sexual partner. This is a conservative, restrictive action to conserve the marriage. We all must self-restrict. If people lived truly liberal, unrestricted lives the world would be in utter chaos. Liberalism is a childish mental disorder and the people wh live such lives only remain alive because of the conservative values of the adults who make the mortgage payments, keep the hospitals running, and exercise healthy, conservative lifestyle choices instead of liberal, unrestricted, destructive ones.
Finally in chapter 3 we talked about the doctrine of the philosophy of naturalism. It’s the philosophy which decides that there is nothing outside of the natural universe. Even though there is no possible way for them to know this, the atheists have come to the conclusion that transcendental realities do not exist. So as a sub-doctrine they have come up with the theory of pan-genus biological evolution as their creation story. There are literally thousands of credentialed scientists around the world who have soundly refuted the “evolution” theory but their work simply fall on deaf ears in the atheist community. There will be references to the scientific work which refutes Darwinian evolution in the resource section of this book. In chapter four we discussed the mental disorder associated with Atheism. We all use logic in our lives. From the time we wake up in the morning we have to use logic to get dressed. Before we do that we have to use logic to make the decision to get out of bed. All of the minuscule aspects of our routine, daily lives require the use of logic. This very fact of life is the greatest refutation to the atheist worldview and renders it an indefensible mental disorder. We discussed the futility of holding the atheist position since by using logic to defend it you are actually borrowing from God. Essentially the atheist uses logic to function on every level including in every debate against theists. And we pointed out the delicious subsequent irony in it all; that the very moment the atheist forms his or her first sentence in a debate he or she has effectively lost. It would be no different than having a person tell you there is no such thing as Wal-Mart after you have witnessed them shopping there.
In chapter five we discussed “Primum Succurrere“. The indefensible nature of the philosophy of Atheism is obvious to those not trapped in the delusion bubble. So we pointed
this out as a form of hastening to help as the phrase “Primum Succurrere“implies. Modern Atheism is idiotic. The Bible calls atheists “fools” which is a synonym for “idiot” per dictionary.com which defines idiot as “an utterly foolish or senseless person”. In spite of the voluminous amounts of evidence for the existence of transcendental realities including but certainly not limited to real anecdotal evidence which makes up incalculable experiential storehouses of refutation against the atheist worldview, atheists persist in a collective rant against the reality that is experienced by so many. It may seem harsh to call people idiots but hey, the Bible was way ahead of me on this. In fact the Bible says to answer the atheist “according to his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit”. The word conceit is defined as “an excessively favorable opinion of one's own ability, importance, wit, etc”. It makes sense, right? Those of us who actually know God personally and proclaim His goodness publicly are often ridiculed by members of the atheist religion saying that we have an imaginary relationship which is not real. It’s a classic logical fallacy called converse fallacy of accident; that just because the atheist has never had such a relationship then no one has ever had such a relationship. There is so much evidence for the existence of the supernatural including nature itself which, according to atheist Richard Dawkins, is “overwhelming”, that only an “idiot” could ignore it.
In chapter six we discussed the very exciting and obvious fulfillment of biblical prophecy that we see expanding as the atheist delusion bubble expands and traps more and more unsuspecting people. The prophesied second coming will not happen until a few things first occur. One of these things is the “falling away” we see here:
¶Let no man deceive you by any means: for that
day shall not come, except there come a falling
away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son
of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2:3
The falling away, or modern Atheism, is a predictable event as we move forward through the stunning prophetic fulfillment outlined in chapter six. As believers we ought to rejoice in this as we see the day of the Lord fast approaching. We explained briefly how the first five trumpets have already been fulfilled with the sixth trumpet of Revelation blowing right now. The following resource section of this book will give you a website to visit to learn more about the seven trumpets and their remarkable relationship with current events. Make sure you take advantage of that free material as well as the affordable extra material. Don’t wait to educate yourselves on this topic. The heat is turning up against you and if you allow yourselves to become complacent, lazy, or uninformed then the old saying becomes evident in your life: “if you’re not at the table then you’re on the table”.
