A View On Life

Yesterday my folks showed me this poem and I loved how it was written.  I am a Christian and it really spoke to me.

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 if fine
It is ridiculous to think
I am lost and in need of saving

A Christian's View on Life

I hope you think on this. May God bless you today.

Is only wishful thinking
People can do as they please without eternal consequences
The idea that

or
The idea that
People can do as they please without eternal consequences
Is only wishful thinking.

Sad indeed, but joy for those who believe in the living God, and rest in Him for the hope and salvation.
