The folly and foolishness of Atheism

The greatness of western civilization itself is testament to the folly and foolishness of atheism. Where are the atheists in the history of western civilization? Let’s have a look, shall we?

Who are the great leaders in western and world history, starting with the single greatest influence in the history of mankind bar none, and that is the man from Galilee whose birthday we celebrate in the west every December, the one western civilization divides its timeline by, as in B.C. + A.D., I think you know whom I’m talking about, the Babe born in the manger because there was no room at the inn! Any atheist there? Nope!

Ok, how about Moses then, who brought down from the mountain the very commandments of God, any atheist there? Nope!

Ok, so far atheists are 0-2. So let’s move on to the rest of the richness and greatness of western civilization. Look at all the great artists in history, those who have created masterpieces, artists such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, etc. is there an atheist on that list? Nope!

Now what was the inspiration of these masterpiece painters I just listed? God and the Holy Bible of course. But in the camp of atheist artists, is there great inspiration in that camp? Nope! Their inspirations are base, earthly things. So “art” from atheists consists of things like homosexual erotica, a crucifix in a jar of urine, dung on a painting, etc. And with the darkened minds in our society today, people are unable to distinguish between true art and crap. A hundred years ago, if an “artist” brought a literal bucket of crap into an art gallery and tried to pass it off as art, they would have rightly kicked him out and said “that’s not art, that’s a bucket of crap!”. But today, I’m sure a modern atheist “artist” could pass off a bucket of crap as art by inserting a cross in it and there would be other atheists trying to pass the guy off as a genius.

Look at the truly great literature in western history, the works of Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, etc., is there an atheist in that list? Nope! In ALL the arts (writing, painting, music, etc.), are there any truly great, uplifting works from atheists in any of these? Nope!

It is as the classical composer Brahms said about atheists: no atheist has ever been or ever will be a great composer.

Now why is that? Why can’t the atheist camp produce great works of art in literature, music, painting, etc.?

HERE IS WHY ATHEISTS CAN’T PRODUCE UPLIFTING WORKS OF ART:

The atheist cannot produce uplifting works because of his beliefs. That is, because art reflects the inspiration of the artist, any inspiration emanating from an atheist artist can only reflect base, coarse, earthly things and not uplifting, heavenly things. Therefore, instead of uplifting and inspiring, atheists can only degrade and debase. Such is the folly and foolishness of atheism.

Besides being absent from the categories of great leaders in world history and great art through the ages, atheism is absent in the rest of the greatness of western civilization as well. Look for example at all the great architecture in history, the historic cathedrals and such, were any of them designed by atheists? Nope!

Look at the founders of the Ivy League colleges in America, were any of them atheists? Guess what? Nope!

And have a look at all the hospitals and benevolent organizations in history and once again, atheists come up pitifully and pathetically short. But that is no mystery. For look at what a darkened mind it was that came up with the theory on the origin of species which brought science into its dark ages. For in such a darkened mind, one devoid of God, there is none of that uplifting and noble stuff like Jesus taught us about caring for the least among us. Instead, the theory of evolution was spawned in a darkened mind that harbored and elevated inhumanity over love and goodness. For not only was Darwin someone who considered blacks less evolved than whites and closer to apes, but in stark contrast to the teachings of Jesus, love for the least among us was not altruistic behavior to be pursued according to Darwin. Consider the following quote from Darwin:

“With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.”

—Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man

Quite the noble philosophy, eh? Is it any wonder there are no benevolent organizations or hospitals founded by atheists? And that’s not to mention that wonder philosophy of eugenics, which contains parts and parcels of the theory of evolution.

The lesson learned here is all the movers and shakers of western civilization (Jesus, Moses, etc.), the cream of the artistic crop in western civilization (Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Shakespeare, da Vinci, Rembrandt, Milton, etc.), and the great leaders of American history (George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, etc.), were all inspired by and believers of the Bible and their inspiration came from above.

The evidence is overwhelming to say the least that western history itself is testament to the folly and foolishness of atheism. It is no wonder that one of the greatest scientists in history, Sir Isaac Newton, called atheism senseless and odious.
