Pasteur saw no conflict between science beliefs and Christianity. He believed that science brings men nearer to God. As a scientist, he saw evidence of wisdom and design, rather than randomness and chaos. Pasteur said that, “The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.”
But on another topic, I read something today about Christian atheism.
According to Wikipedia, “Christian atheism is an ideology that embraces the teachings, narratives, symbols, practices, or communities associated with Christianity without accepting the literal existence of God.”
In The Gospel of Christian Atheism, Thomas J.J. Altizer said –
“Every man today who is open to experience knows that God is absent, but only the Christian knows that God is dead, that the death of God is a final and irrevocable event and that God’s death has actualized in our history a new and liberated humanity.”
Today, I take a stand for God because I am not a Christian atheist. Jesus changed my life supernaturally! Becoming a Christian was the best decision I made in my whole life. After this happened, I never looked for TRUTH again as I knew I had found His pearl of the greatest price. He was the real deal and there was no more need to search anymore!
The poem I am posting below is about an atheist who wondered if God really existed.
SOMETHING TO REFLECT ON….
Many years ago, the famous atheist Voltaire claimed that within a hundred years, “not even one copy of the Bible would be found in men’s hands.”
According to the Guinness World Records, the best-selling book of all time is the Christian Bible. It is impossible to know exactly how many copies have been printed in the roughly 1,500 years since its contents were standardized, but research conducted by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 2021 suggests that the total number probably lies between 5 and 7 billion copies.
Recently one of my readers got irritated at me for believing in the Bible.
Their message was simple, “How stupid can you be for believing in this book?”
They mentioned how it was all doom and gloom. Many parts of it is. I believe the Bible is true but I don’t like everything in it. I am a very sensitive soul and reading it, can cause me immense pain too. But if you look at real life, it is also full of doom and gloom sometimes. But do you disbelieve real life? Of course not. Because you see it. The Bible and “real life”, match in the sense that both are full of pain in some areas.
The Bible is very painfully honest! I hear you! But the Bible offers the answer to all this pain. Jesus! This is where it gets joyful and eternally better for you, right now! So keep reading 📚 the New Testament and give God a chance to explain Himself.
Now think of an Escape Room for a moment.
My daughter Bianca, went to one recently.
If you went to one with a group of friends, would you all be fighting if you found the way out?
Of course not.
Getting out was the absolute truth, as you escaped!
Why should we be mad at each other for finding the truth together?
Next time a person comes along with a different religious belief than you, love them, listen to them, encourage them and joyfully say, “Lets pray 🙏 and find the real truth together.”
All human beings ❤️ would like to know the answers to life.
We should not get mad at each other for believing in something different.
We need to gently work together with great love for each other.
We are not enemies. We are precious human beings made in the image of God.
This article I wrote below, is one of my favorite. If you are struggling to believe in God, feel free to read it. This was birthed earlier when I responded to Ratley who was not a Christian and simply did not believe! It is quite amusing!
Have a great day dear readers!❤️😘
Enjoy my latest poem below.
I love you all.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
(Genesis 1:1)
♡♡♡
The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
(1 Chronicles 16:26)

Man wanted to trust atheism
But he still doubted this belief
Atheism wasn’t helping him
He found no relief!
♡♡♡
The man stopped and thought
He decided to search some more
He looked for the real God
He saw an open door.
♡♡♡
The door led him
To a Bible
The Bible spoke of One.
The Bible spoke of a
Triune God,
The Father, Spirit, Son.
♡♡♡
He read all the pages fervently
Not knowing what he would find
This time, he prayed again
The real truth in his mind.
♡♡♡
Jesus was a name, he
Had never heard before
But for the first time
In his life
He desired to know
Him more.
♡♡♡
Then suddenly one day
The real God appeared!
Not in a visible form
But He was still very near.
♡♡♡
A light from heaven shone
A holy revelation came!
God saw the man kneeling there
God gently called his name.
♡♡♡
His first God wasn’t real
He didn’t exist at all
This One true God
Was different,
He answered
The poor man’s call!
♡♡♡
This real God
Was not an idol
He was the Creator
Of everything
He was the God
Of the Christian Bible
The God
Who conquered sin.
♡♡♡
With the man born again,
He learnt to trust this God!
This trust was truly real
And not for a fake God.
♡♡♡
His fake God was smashed
It had never left the earth!
It lacked the power of Christ
It only lived in dirt.
♡♡♡
How do I trust your God?
I hear you say today
I am tired of no victory
I need a better way.
♡♡♡
As a Christian poet
Who cares for you
I’ll answer you straight back
Please give me a minute
Please don’t turn your back.
♡♡♡
I know you are reading my poem
I see your seeking heart
You are still searching silently
For a light in the dark!
♡♡♡
Surrender your heart to Jesus
Repent of all your sins
Read the Bible daily
Get baptized,
Only trust Him.
♡♡♡
With a Creator’s conscience
It is easier to trust Christ
Stop and say now,
I put you
First
In my life!
♡♡♡
Love, faith and joy
Also blossom in your heart
With these jewels
All weaved together
You experience
A brand new start!
♡♡♡
How do I know your right?
I hear you say today
Isn’t atheism better?
Please convince me, I say!
♡♡♡
Atheism isn’t real
It is only a lie
Atheism excludes God
Atheism says Jesus didn’t die.
♡♡♡
Atheism has no book
To prove what it has seen
It’s origins are imagination
It’s truths, not factually seen.
♡♡♡
Atheism never answers back
It has no voice to speak
Imagine believing in nothing!
No wonder, man feels weak.
♡♡♡
God’s Bible is unique
It is a true living book
It has many accounts
Of the journey
That different
Men took.
♡♡♡
When they searched
For truth
They found God wasn’t an idol!
They knew
He was real
And so was the Bible!
♡♡♡
Pray to God first
And then you will see!
Ask Him to help you believe in Him
It’s as simple as 1,2, 3.
♡♡♡
He will help you, believe
You can’t find Him on your own
The way to believing in God
Is to stop scrolling on your phone.
♡♡♡
Go in your room and
Kneel down by your bed
Tell Him you read this poem
And you desire His presence instead.
♡♡♡
Keep praying in secret
Don’t ask for man’s wisdom at all
Rather be silent and patient
I know God will answer your call!
♡♡♡
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” (Jeremiah 33:3)
