'Why Believe in a God?'
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,450445,00.html
I would like to go on record as saying; Thank You "American Humanist Association" for spending $40,000.00 to place this most important question directly in the faces of so many people."
"Why believe in a God?" Well, for one thing it is for our own salvation. Because we as humans have been graced by our creator with compassion for one another. It is through faith in Jesus Christ alone that we shall share eternally in the Glorious Kingdom of Almighty God and because of our love for one another that we share this "Good News" [Gospel] with our earthly, human brotherin. (Thank's again for asking.")
There is no doubt, that these souls are afflicted with loneliness during these celebrations and activities. As Christians gather in celebration of Holy Days, those who have turned away from God and toward the things of this earth for fulfillment will feel with great emphasis a taste of the unending emptiness that awaits them eternally in their present condition.
This is Gods way of reminding those He has chosen, those whose hearts have been blessed with His Holy Spirit, to reach out and to help those who have gone astray.
You see, without God, then truth is relative, goodness is relative, happiness is relative. No longer focused on God our creator man will define truth, goodness, and happiness on an ever changing social basis of societal norms. What is true to one person, may not be true to another, hapiness is based on a comparative analysis between ones self and ones neighbor, and goodness is simply anything that makes the person feel good.
What a horrrible, empty and chaotic world that would be. Marriage would cease to have any meaning, honesty would only have meaning when it was in ones best interest, even human life itself, would no longer hold meaning or value.
Thank you once more American Humanist Association for helping us to remember.
Go in peace.
And Go with God. :groupray:
Ads proclaiming, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake," will appear on Washington, D.C., buses starting next week and running through December. The American Humanist Association unveiled the provocative $40,000 holiday ad campaign Tuesday.
"We are trying to reach our audience, and sometimes in order to reach an audience, everybody has to hear you," said Fred Edwords, spokesman for the humanist group. "Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion."

Well said! This is so true, especially during the time of year when people of faith gather in public assembly to share the gift of Gods Word with one another it is of the utmost importance that we remember those who have not yet heard or have so far refused to hear the Gospel of Gods substitutionary atonement through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ."Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion."
