Brain-bending: atheist and Christian views on life compared

By Rev. Austin Miles


Are Christians and atheists at opposite ends of the pole or is it a simple matter of up and down? Is one system at the top of the pyramid or the bottom of it? This has been argued for decades. At last the answer will be finally settled. Both sides use the the very same sentences to explain their philosophy. For this fascinating revelation read this from top to bottom:

An Atheist's View on Life

I will live my life according to these beliefs
God does not exist
It is just foolish to think
That there is a God with a cosmic plan
That an all powerful God brings redemption and healing to the pain and suffering in the world
Is a comforting thought however.
It
Is only wishful thinking.
People can do as they please without eternal consequences
The idea that
I am deserving of Hell
Because of sin
Is a lie meant to make me a slave to those in power
"The more you have, the happier you will be"
Our existence has no grand meaning or purpose
In a world with no God,
There is freedom to be who I want to be
But with God
Everything is fine
It is ridiculous to think
I am lost and in need of saving

A Christian's View on Life

Now read this view from the bottom to the top
