No Atheist In The Wilderness by HardMirror(m): 8:07pm On Dec 26, 2016
I was watching National Geographic Channel some months back, It was an episode of "Ultimate Survivor" with Barrack Obama on the show.
At the end of the show, Bear grills prayed for the president of the United states, asking God to guide the president and bless him.

Obama made a statement that got me thinking, " No atheist in the wilderness, no atheism when you are lost at sea..." It got me thinking.

I could imagine a boat lost at sea, parked with men without religion and superstition.

I could imagine a storm taking the boat off course.

I could imagine these strong defiant men, fighting the winds and waves.

I could imagine these men running out of food.

I could imagine this men enduring painful cold nights, the cold cruising through their mortal bodies and leaving pain in it's wake.

I could imagine the man staring into the darkness looking around at the supposed endless boundless ocean.

No one in sight...

No light but that of the stars and moon.

Shivering...

The hunger...

Then a ROAR!!!

What is that?.. Again a shadow creeps by...!

It's under the boat!

Peeping from the sides unto the water illuminated by the lone moon...

Yes! It's under the boat!

Alas! It's larger than the boat!

Goodness! What is it? The boat which is their only protection all of a sudden becomes insignificant. For the shadow beneath must be 10times larger!

They have heard the legends, the monsters and the mysteries. The unknown lurks in the dark.

These are brave men. They have always held their own. They work to feed their families, the work to make a home, they fall trees to make fire to keep themselves and their families warm. They have killed beasts of the field, air and sea and fed on their flesh.

Now death has come to feed on their own flesh.

The devil reaches out for their souls.

Men that never called on God can only hold on to God now, for here their strength is f no good. Death comes calling only the hand of an Almighty is able to save.

They find good.

The night passes, there is land just a few kilometers away! The hand of God has taken them to shore!

Getting to land, every sailor goes on his knees praising God. The God that heard them in their distress and saved their souls!

God Almighty! I will worship you forever, for only you could have saved my soul.

There are 2 sets of men in life.

Those who make their own destinies and those whose destinies are made by others and circumstances.

Rebellion against God is the beginning man conquering nature. For even the bible acknowledges the tower of babel a symbol of man's determination, aspiration, the beginning of dreaming the impossible. For over 5000years later an american looked to the sky and said before the end of the decade man shall set foot on the moon and it came to pass.

The fall of all great empires comes from man handing his fate to God.

For God shall not fight your battles, God will not cure or eradicate your diseases, No! God would not make you travel faster than sound.

Man defying nature, defying God has brought us all these. We have conquered the seas, we have conquered the sky. We have ended many plagues. Man did all these...


BUT in the face of weakness and helplessness, man imagined God!

Religion is for the weak.

But aint we all weak? What is man but the breath of his nose. Take that away and man is nothing.

Allahu akbah

Almighty God be praised the giver of life.

God has found relevance in the mysteries our frail minds are confronted with, for only in them will God ever be relevant. Else man wld have never created God.


Atheists are strong!

Atheists defy circumstances!

Atheists make their own destinies and live with the consequences of their actions.

Obama simply alluded to a passage and fact found in the Bible, he's well read. This attention seeker OP is a most confused fellow. It sucks to be a sinner.

No need to thank me, don't embarrass yourself with desperation. i don't need your attention neither do i notice the supply or lack. i don't expect you would be able to resist or challenge or debunk what i say, all you need to do is keep quiet like the devil usually does, or scamper. The scriptures is right when He says let everything that has breath praise the Lord. It's not a plea, you can't help it even in hell.

One thing I will assure u is dat, at d end of life every atheist will come to realize dat they have ignorantly fought against what they would hv defended, bt by then it will be too late.
Man's desire has always bn filled with ego.
What do atheist believe in?"science" ,who created science ,man nd who created man "Nature" nd what is nature (zero answer).
How were we able to b d only being amongs D entire creature that can actually make use of itz intellect, inwhich case is d reason y science was born... NATURE. what is nature (No answer).
We Dnt believe in the invisible, bt every man inhales and exhales air every second which is invisible nd no one is actually talking abt it.
D scriptures is false and every miracle deceptive,yet itz Vry obvious that dey can Neva b a fake without D original or a lie without D truth. for (example u can't produce a fake Mercedes wxy class,simply because there's no wxy Mercedes anywhere) yet every atheist believes dat every miracle are fake.
The simple truth is that I will rather believe in that nature that made man(Jesus),than the science that man made.

Denying the gods is atheism, not denying God. The atheists are a part of God, but the religious gods want us to believe that they are God. Sometimes I admire the courage of the atheists who deny the gods(Yahweh, Allah, Moloch) and tap unknowingly into the pure wealth of the unlimited knowledge of Almighty God(God the Universe) who doesn't care about your religion or belief.

God is so great that we can't quantify his size. The only thing human cannot quantify its size is the Universe. God alone can quantify the Universe. Even Yahweh has weight and size according to the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH
Doctufos: Adspiramen 23:18
18. The weight of the vessel was about eighty-
two shekels. But the weight of Yahweh alone
was about thirty-eight thousand shekels.
, but Almighty God his father has no quantifiable weight and size. GOD IS GREAT.
