I don't understand why others choose atheism. But I can't blame them. I can't show them a holy Christian life either. I am just a sinner, and continues struggling to become holy only. I am not God. The tiniest knowledge I have can't compare to the perfect knowledge of God why he created the world as it is, fallen and sinful.
...the "Religiously Unaffiliated" (atheists, agnostics, and people who don't identify with a specific religion) actually outnumber Hindus. This group accounts for about 1.1-1.2 Billion people globally -Gemini 3 Fast, 3 April 2026
Stats are as follows: Christianity ~2.4-2.5 Billion, Islam ~1.9-2 Billion, Hinduism ~1.2 Billion
I can't blame them. If the seminary philosophical studies haven't trained me to explain why there is suffering and evil, I could have blamed God and made a mess of my life also.
I can't blame them. I think it is even better to believe there is no God but believe this life is what we make it, making some men of good will a more responsible citizen than a person believing while blaming God all throughout life.
My reflection actually started asking why God permitted such mixture of belief human beings have up until today that AI can already easily explain who God is.
Is God's initiative to speak to man inutile? Well, I told myself I am an atheist just for this time being. I believe what happens to me happens because I am the one responsible about it. Until my parents were mercilessly killed in a ghetto, and can't say anymore it is still my responsibility. I don't even have a concept of God. Regardless, it was the responsibility of other bad people, in short. So for an atheist like me whether or not I believe in God, evil still happens. Is it Christianity's fault? The muslims don't think so, since even in Islamism, evil still happens. The same with Hinduism which has no central system belief, evil still happens. So it's not belief or nonbelief system that causes evil. The initiative of God to speak to man is not the cause of evil. I think it is more ancient than that.
Can we say when the world has become Christian only, then God's initiative to speak to man through his Son Jesus Christ has become effective? The wisdom of God is unfathomable. I can't just say that variety of belief makes up for a reference point that makes his initiative or covenant even more than effective actually. And we don't really know how the Kingdom grows in silence.
It is still though Jesus' followers responsibility to live and preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. But we can now see that evil still happens with or without religion or with even varying belief systems. As in the movie Clarita, Fr. Benedicto realized in the end that it's a folly to believe in God without believing Satan also exists.
I tell you, whether or not you believe in God and in Satan as real, you cannot undo it now that you've heard it from me.🤣
Well that was also my first reaction when the Bible told me as if it's like the "Red Pill" in the movie The Matrix, it cannot be undone.🤣 My sweat was something I can't explain back then. I should have not read the Bible in the first place.🤣 I told that to myself when I was still in high school and have not yet entered the seminary.
But here I am, even telling you whether or not you believe in God, Satan, you will still feel their reality in one way or another. You're just one in the billions of people with varying systems of belief or no belief at all who will one day die whether or not you follow any health hackers out there. You will still die. And yes throw this readings away if you don't want the red pill swallowed for there is no turning back. You don't know what is life after death. But God has actually told what it is. You just have to ask any AI out there what is the truth.
Nope, I am worse than clickbait creators out there telling you that this life is a simulation.🤣 I am actually telling you the truth.🤣 Pee in your pants if you want. I had my restless nights way back then when I first encountered the harsh reality of knowing what is true. Now suffer it yourself, first timers.🤣
Actually the ghetto orphan I first mentioned was Batman, and Spiderman also realized that with great power comes great responsibility. Now you are relieved, since our accountability is now a good movie to watch unlike my constant reminder that it's a great burden to know what is true. We all watch movies whether or not we are an atheist, etc. And whether or not we subscribe to its tenets, we are all affected by the common life we've been handed on. "It's a great entertainment," retort says something about our common lot: we hope to leave this life a better world. And whether or not we have that superpower or none, were we all not affected that it's actually better to hope for the best and leave this life a better world, even though evil is left and right continuously happening. In a movie, we can all see ourselves not a helpless cog in an almost insurmountable face of evil, all in such spectacular, suspended, and detailed storytelling mode of experience.
Yup, Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole, according to Gemini 3 Fast, is the highest-grossing film series of all time. But Spiderman comes at the top, seconded by Batman. And yes I'm not making things up. Those were the stats speaking for themselves about our viewing habits. We just don't want to state such sentiment out loud and clear. That religion is actually an inner longing acted out as something shouting deep within us, not something forced by others or Other from the outside. And such movie stats don't lie.
