God's Atheist

Chapter 2: God: The Most Discussed Subject Of All

Today, let's reason together and use logic concerning the subject of God. We must agree that the whole issue of God is the most discussed by all of humanity. I am intellectually in total agreement with an atheist's thought process. I was very fortunate to have been raised in a small Ohio town by a mother and father who were old enough to be my grandparents. Mom was in her late forties and thought she had cancer. She always referred to me as her little tumor. Dad was born in 1897, mom in 1904. Growing up, we seldom locked our doors as there was no need and virtually zero crime. Today I look around and what do I see? Major cities with vast homeless populations living in tents. When I was a teenager marijuana was the drug of choice, today it's fentanyl. In my 72 years I've witnessed numerous wars, the oceans being dumped with plastics that will never dissolve, vast corruption within the leaders of our nation and the world in general, an unending barrage of advertisements in all media to buy this and must have that. A prison population that is the largest in the world because prisons are for profit. A health care industry that is also centered around the almighty dollar. I saw a poster of a future doctor reading on his first day in medical school, "A patient cured is a customer lost." Cancer patients being pumped full of drugs that simply do not work, chemotherapy destroys the immune system and is over 90% ineffective. Why is it administered? Money. I've watched mega church ministers preaching about Jesus. One needed a new swimming pool for his $750,000 estate so he could baptize the new converts, the congregation happily gave. One of the wealthiest organizations on the face of the earth is the Catholic Church. Why? They've indoctrinated entire populations to tithe so they won't go to Hell. I've seen Christians going to church every Wednesday and Sunday pointing their fingers constantly all through the week at the sinners. That prostitute is going to Hell, she better get right with Jesus. God help that drug user's soul. These people will certainly wish they had listened to the good news of the gospel now that they're burning in Hell forever. I've read that Hell is a place of demons, darkness, fire, pain, torture and unending increasing agony. Forever. I've known numerous people full of anger, rage, jealousy, hate, fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and deep depressions. I've had several close friends commit suicide and I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope is gone, unrelenting loneliness and extremely deep re-occurring depressions. I came very, very close.
