Letter From An Athiest

This is an excerpt of an email to Ray Comfort from an atheist:

Ray,

You are really convinced that you've got all the answers. You've really got yourself tricked into believing that you're 100% right. Well, let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other humans? If you're right, as you say you are, and believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speak with me you are speaking with someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your 'loving' god created, yet you stand by and do nothing.

If you believe one bit that thousands every day were falling into an eternal and unreachable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness. That's equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes you walk blindly directly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand idly by and do nothing. You're just twiddling your thumbs, happy in the knowledge that one day that 'walk' signal will shine your way across the road.

Think about it. Imagine the horrors Hell must have in store if the bible is true. You're just going to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If you're right then you're an uncaring, unemotional and purely selfish (expletive) that has no right to talk about subjects such as love and caring.

The entire discourse between Ray and this atheist is now in a fascinating book called, Intelligent Design versus Evolution—letters to an atheist. (taken from the Way of the Master website http://www.wayofthemaster.com/atheistletter.shtml )

I'm amazed at this letter. The atheist is actually right. Why aren't we in the streets telling people of the horrible fate they will come upon on judgement day? Can we just walk right on by while people are dying and going to Hell? Are we more interested in the world than lost sinners being damned to Hell? Why aren't we seeking and saving the lost the way Jesus did? Shouldn't we be on our knees crying out for their souls? Listen to this amazing quote by Charles Spurgeon:

"Save some, O Christians! By all means,
save some. From yonder flames and outer darkness, and the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, seek to save some! Let this, as in the case of the apostle,
be your great, ruling object in life, that by all means you might save some."

Wow! Seeking and saving the lost should be our #1 priority in life, that and glorifying God!
