Topic > Cultural Disadvantages: Cultural Baggage - 1111

Even if atheists pray that there is nothing after death, this will not provide an escape route or any shelter from the impending wrath of the Holy God. Can man remain naked before the King of Kings, in the revealing light of all truth? Can he answer for each of his sins? When judgment comes, no man will ever be good enough. So atheism is useless, indeed the only good thing that atheism manifests is irony. It is ironic that the central philosophy of atheism is “Think with your head” (285), yet most, if not all, of its followers completely fail to do so; so atheism is a silly religion with a severe devotion to ignorance. He is ironic because he preaches tolerance but is grossly intolerant of anyone who does not accept the atheist faith. Once again, as Ehrenreich's children revealed, “the world would be a better place” (285) without other religions. Finally, it is ironic because Ehrenreich speaks of her family being “disillusioned with Christianity” (284) while she herself is a slave to the deceptive illusion of atheism. Not even atheists will find hope in anyone else's help, and the weight of their sins will drag them all helplessly into the grave.
