A Rejecting Fool

Ray Comfort tells about a poster promoting atheism. It features pictures of Darwin, Jefferson and Lincoln, Ben Franklin, Einstein, Carl Sagan and Ernest Hemingway. “Atheism:” it says, “good enough for these idiots.” But is that true? Franklin wrote: “It is that particular wise and good God…that I propose for the object of my praise and adoration.” Einstein said, “There are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views.” Darwin said he was compelled to look for an intelligent mind behind the universe “and I deserve to be called a Theist.” Jefferson was a Deist, not an atheist. Lincoln clearly believed in the Bible’s God. Carl Sagan said he didn’t know if there was a God or not, and settled for being an agnostic (the Greek form of the Latin ignorant). Only Ernest Hemingway—novelist, drunkard, suicide—fully qualifies on all counts. Not an idiot, but sadly called by God a fool for rejecting the display of His glory (Ps 14:1).
