"Do I look Like a Guy with a Plan Harvey?"


Doesn't it seem akward at times the way people talk about religion? I mean, its interesting to see what people actually believe about things. Have you ever honestly had a conversation with a true Atheist? One that has not only not believed in God, but has researched it, studied it, and put his whole lifes concept into the idea that there is no God.
Its crazy the way Atheists can speak, and not just speak, but passionatly speak about how God doesn't exist and how if there is a God, then why doesn't He do something.
One of my proffessors asked a question during one of his lectures. He asked the class about shining a light in a blind man's eyes He said "If I shine a light into a blind man's eye, will he see light?" Essentially the answer he gave was no, they never would because they lack the ability to see light.
He likened this to God, and how sometimes no matter what we say or do for a person, they just won't see light. No matter how much God does for them, or how much He blesses them, there free will tainted by sin, still says "nope, sorry your not real" I mean how does this happen? How can someone just not see light? Its almost like there is a secret understanding about God, and understanding that only those who've opened themselves up to God, can see. Is this true? I mean, does the wages of sin really go that far? So far that it completely blinds us to God, not just relationally in our spirits, but in the world we exist in as well?
One of the Psalms essentially has God asking a quesiton to the readers. I'm Paraphrasing heavely. The Psalm essetially says (from Gods point of view) "Have I hidden myself from you?" "Is there anything that I haven't shown you?" I mean, maybe its a sin issue? Maybe the wages of sin go so deep that it does in fact blind us all toward God. I mean, we all started out having to essentially discover that God had been looking for us, and thank God we all had churches that helped us get there; but in scripture God says it "Have I hidden myself from you?" I mean, God has given us every indication of His existance. Romans talks about the conscience of a person being from God, it talks about the very world around us in nature being a physical representation of God's power and design in the world, and that we have no excuse for not believing. So whee does it end, the whole Atheist thing? The world may never know.....
