Can An Atheist Believe In God?

What makes an atheist? Is he or she one who says “God absolutely does not exist”? Certainly most atheists I know wouldn’t say that. Unfortunately, like most religious people, most dictionaries misrepresent atheism, with definitions like “Denial of the existence of God.”

What Atheists Believe

1. Evidence and experience are the proper basis for any beliefs.

2. Those who make an assertion have the responsibility to prove it.

If a person has no experience to convince him, and you can’t prove the existence of God, he has no reason to believe God exists. He also has no reason to say God doesn’t exist, if he cannot prove this belief. Why would he waste time trying to “prove” the non-existence in reality of a concept as nebulous as God? If someone said a blue snake in the sky ruled the universe, you wouldn’t believe it, and you would be an “aserpentist,” but you wouldn’t start gathering evidence to “prove” that no invisible blue snake was up there, would you?

You might wonder, since atheism is simply non-belief due to unconvincing evidence, rather than an opposite belief, where does this leave agnostics? The most honest classification would be as a type of atheist. They hold open the the possibility of a god (as does any rational atheist if presented with good evidence), but since they don’t actually believe in God, they are atheistic, aren’t they? Perhaps those who call themselves agnostics are just afraid of the other “A” word.

Of course, words refer to something, even if it is only to ideas. In that sense, we can say God exists as an idea, and a powerful one at that. Some atheists even like various versions of this idea. God, the idea, may be the cause of wars and horrible crimes, but he (it) can also be an uplifting or at least useful concept.

We might refer to these types of ideas as “useful lies,” because regardless of their truth or falsity, they can be beneficial as “operating principles.” The idea that everything happens for a reason, for example, doesn’t have to be true for it to be a useful belief or operating principle. It can certainly get you looking for the lessons and other values to be found in bad situations, rather than getting depressed.

We can say then that God exists, at least as a common belief, or “useful lie.” This idea may even do some good in the world. What about His existence in reality? Actually, even an atheist can believe in that – the moment God comes down and shakes his hand.

One World Order; The “Return of the Khalifate” An Opinion, Part 3

One World Order; The “Return of the Khalifate” An Opinion. Part 3.
Catholicism & Mohammedanism.(Islam.) In our look at a one world order, I wanted to take the time and do a little comparison between two religious factions. These two are completely different from one another. Remember this study is intended to get all to start thinking about world affairs and the beginning of the end. This is just one interpretation.
1. Catholicism; We see in scripture the seven Hills on which the Great Whore sits.

Revelations 17:9; “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” This is a reasonable assumption, that the hills spoken of, are the seven hills surrounding Rome. But what we must also look at is the anti-Christ is not only a man of peace, but also a man of war. The Vatican does not have an army nor have they had one sense the Crusades.

Catholicism as a whole is not a totalitarianism entity. In other words, The Catholic Church has been loosing respect and members for some time now. The Christian community as a whole has 2.1 Billion believers, but only a part of these are Catholics. The Catholic Church has alienated itself from the remainder of the Christian Church by its practices of calling The Pope Holy Father and not allowing personal involvement in Biblical interpretation. The Bible expressly prohibits both of these practices. Unlike the Religion of Islam, Catholics can renounce this religion and go on, with the religion of Islam, there is no way out, or should I say no way out safely. The Vatican is not as powerful as it used to be in the 18th century, because of the massacre of the Protestants in Europe.

The Papal control of world religion is steadily on the down Cline. Thou there are many scriptures pointing to the Papal authority as being the figure of anti-Christ. There is one insurmountable obstacle, The Pope isn’t Jewish and neither can be. Why? Because the Israeli people are looking for the Messiah, and He must be a Jew. This is not to say that Catholicism could not be involved but this makes it a little tougher to fulfill prophecy.

(TSK)Dan 12:11 –
the time: Dan_8:11, Dan_8:12, Dan_8:26, Dan_11:31
the abomination: Heb. to set up the abomination, etc. Probably Mohammedanism, which sprang up in power the same year as the papal, ad 606; and 1,290 years from that time will be ad 1896, and 1,335 years ad 1941. Dan_8:13, Dan_9:27, Dan_11:31; Mat_24:15; Mar_13:14; Rev_11:2
maketh desolate: or, astonisheth
a thousand: Dan_1:12, Dan_7:25, Dan_8:14; Rev_11:2, Rev_12:6, Rev_13:5
Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

2. Mohammedanism.(Islam.) First lets look at the word;”Subdue”, from Daniel 7:24.

SUBDUE;
1. To conquer by force or the exertion of superior power, and bring into permanent subjection; to reduce under dominion. Subduing implies conquest or vanquishing, but it implies also more permanence of subjection to the conquering power, than either of these words.
2. To oppress; to crush; to sink; to overpower so as to disable from further resistance.
3. To tame; to break by conquering a refractory temper or evil passions; to render submissive.
4. To conquer; to reduce to mildness.
5. To overcome; to conquer; to captivate.
6. To overcome; to overpower and destroy the force in charge.
The last definition is to subdue by treaty and words of kindness.
Islam is supposed to be a religion of brotherly love; but in contrast to this Idea, it was and still is a warier, domineering and oppressive religion. This idea stems from the word Jihad. (Holy War)

Mohammedanism, sprang up in power the same year as the papal, ad 606. This is an important fact, sense both religions came to power in the same year. Muslims constitute 1/5th of the worlds population. The U.S. Population is, 295,734,134 (July 2005 est.) Islam religion is approximately 1,003,000,000(1.3 Billion.) Now imagine if one man controlled all Islam, this would constitute a very Impressive Military, wouldn’t it?

The anti-Christ will be an unknown, the position of the Khalifate hasnt been filled in years. Here is the definition Khilafa and Khalifa.
Khalifa is an Arabic word literally meaning “one who replaces someone else who left or died” (English: caliph). In the context of Islam, however, the word acquires a narrower meaning. The Muslim Khalifa is the successor (in a line of successors) to Prophet Muhammad’s position as the political, military, and administrative leader of the Muslims. The prophetic role of Muhammad is strictly not included in this definition, as the Qur’an and Hadith clearly state that Muhammad was the last of the prophets.

Khilafa is a related Arabic word which, in the context of Islam, is used to denote the government of the Muslim state, of which the Khalifa is the head. A workable analogy of Khalifa and Khilafa is president and presidency or king and monarchy. The Khilafa is a fard kifaya on the ummah.

The first Khilafa was Abu Bakr, 632-634 AC. I haven’t been able to find the total number, but would it be interesting if this upcoming Kailafa would be the 666th? This message is intended to inform and enlighten all into the beginning of the end of the Gentile rule. This is an insight, an opinion, on todays activities around the world.

Atomic Clocks: Why They Are The Best

A common problem with many clocks is that there are times when they may be wrong. Hundreds of years ago, time did not need to be as accurate. If you are minutes late today, that could put your job in jeopardy. Modern technology has answered this problem with the most accurate time keeping possible. Scientists have used atoms to find a consistent way to keep time. They have also made this information available so that civilians can use it as well.

Atoms have a constant oscillation frequency that can be used to accurately keep time. This is the best way to keep time. Even the rotation of the earth or star tracking has its inconsistencies. Such accurate time keeping is essential for GPS navigation and plotting courses for space probes. Your clock at home doesn’t necessarily need such an accurate ticker, but it is nice to know that it is correct.

The machine that uses an atoms oscillation frequency is very complex and expensive. This makes it nearly impossible for you to own an atomic clock of your own, right? Well, there is an atomic clock located in Colorado that is used to keep the standard national time. This clock is equipped with a radio transmitter that feeds a signal for the standard time.
Consumer atomic clocks simply read this signal to give the most accurate time. So when the power goes out, the clock can simply reset itself using the signal. There have been problems with clocks reading the signal. The further away you are from Colorado, there is a higher chance that an atomic clock might not receive a signal. Make sure to test a clock before you buy it. Many stores will have a clock on display to ensure that it does work in the local area. If a store will not let you test a clock, beware. Even if you are not far from Colorado, the clock might not have a good receiver.

Without a sufficient signal the clock is usually useless. Most atomic clocks rely on the radio signal and there fore will not function without it.

Building an Ice House on Mars

There is ice at the Martian Poles, one of the poles has water ice in abundance. Such an ice over region could easily be converted into a habitat for a Martian Colony of human explorers. Taking humans to Mars is not such an easy task, keeping them alive once there even harder, bringing them back not easy at all. The polar water ice cap may hold the key to building a successful colony on Mars.

Do you remember the James Bond Movie that took place as the ice hotel? There is actually a place where they build one every year for visitors. Sounds cool and indeed it is, but can we use this idea to build an ice colony on Mars tunneling under the ice, chipping away and building rooms. Using the ice to derive oxygen while using the hydrogen for power. The ice can be converted to water to drink and grow plants for food? We can build small micro hydro-electric systems to provide power as well to provide back-up.

I propose that we build Ice Hotel Type habitats in the Mars Ice Cap for exploration and human colony and establish this as out exploratory base camp on Mars. This outpost will be our first step in moving man beyond this pale blue dot. The ice cap makes a lot of sense as a place to build an outpost and colony. Who knows we may find some life already living there.

David’s Star Rising: Solving A Giant Problem In Israel

This brief study into a well-known, biblical narrative — the story of David and Goliath — aims to present what might be called in biblical terms, “The uncut version.” By this, I do not mean to suggest that I have found some new extra-biblical text or other that sheds new light on the familiar account. I mean to convey rather, that a much closer study of the text’s details we already know, against the backdrop of the rest of the law of the Lord, reveals quite an interesting “story going on behind the story.”

Specifically, I intend to show that this account portrays a silent victory, not just the obvious one — victory over a Philistine giant at the hand of an underdog — but it aims to show instead to show that young David, a most unlikely candidate for the job, has the heart of a king. David’s star is rising. And it contrasts his faithful heart with that of the then-present king, Saul of Benjamin, who does not have such a heart. It is the account, not of David versus Goliath, but of the beginning of a much longer narrative, of David versus Saul. So then, let us begin the venture. Here is the text from 1 Samuel 17:1-54:

… And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.

Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul. And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. …And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself 40 days.

And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy brethren; And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge. Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him … and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren. And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid. And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel. And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

….And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him. And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. …And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands. And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him . . .

Notes and Commentary.

1. The first of several points worth scrutinizing in the text comes from noting that the primary job of tackling the giant fell to Saul, for he was king, and the Bible specifies as belonging to the king the task of defending God’s Name and punishing the wicked (see Romans 13). Now surely a king may delegate the task, but it rests with him to get the job done, so that, if no one else comes forward, he must bear the risk himself. In this task, Saul abdicated his role as king, failing to go forward as the champion of Israel against the wicked giant. David took up the slack.

2. Second, let the reader note that, at the first, Saul sought to discourage David from joining the fray because he judged David by mere outward appearance — and Goliath also. But David’s confidence rested in the fact that he had seen that GOD WAS WITH HIM. David thus rehearsed his deeds not to display his own greatness, but a summary of the greatness of God in these words: “The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Having been trained by the Lord Himself, David was a man of great faith because He understood the Lord, and knew His ways.

3. The third point needing attention comes by way of a flashback into the history of Israel. Let the reader take note that in the days of Joshua (son of Nun) and Caleb, Israel had faced a similar problem. God had commanded the armies of Israel — just freed from Egypt — to go up against the giants in the land to face them in battle. God expected them by then to have learned from his many mighty miracles, and especially his power displayed against Pharaoh’s armies — the lesson that David had grasped (namely the importance of God’s covenant refrain: “And I will be with you”).

But Joshua’s contemporaries — jut like David’s — “were sore afraid.” They focused on just what Saul had — outward appearances — size, countenance and training. David — like Joshua and Caleb — regarded only the greatness and overpowering competence of the Lord. At the rebellion in the Sinai desert — God had told the people, Go up and take the land FOR I WILL BE WITH YOU. But they were afraid of Giants like Goliath, so they would not fight. Like Saul’s men, they were sore afraid.

4. God had placed the seven nations of Canaan under the ban for their extreme wickedness, whom Joshua’s generation was commanded to slay. This command to eliminate these nations was transgenerational, meaning the obligation fell to each successive generation in Israel — down to David’s day. And there were then (quite obviously) still giants in the land, like the ones faced in battle and killed by Joshua and Caleb. The Philistines were their descendants, and David was the modern day “Joshua” and Caleb” — two men of whom the Scripture says “whose hearts have fully followed after me.” This is precisely the same sense in which it says of David he “was a man after God’s own heart.”

5. David went up against the giant with God’s blessing, spoken upon him by God’s lawfully appointed civil magistrate, King Saul. Saul had blessed David in the Name of the Lord, as it says, “And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. …” And so God was with David, for David aimed to obey God’s command to go up and take the land, ridding it of a giant problem. David was doing Saul’s job for him — the job of the king of Israel.

6. The text says that Goliath cursed David by his gods. According to the word of the Lord, this act of blasphemy warranted the death penalty (Numbers 15); especially was this so in the case of cursing David, for David uniquely stood — as we learn later in the text — as a type of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord’s anointed. Also, the Bible specifies that the king was to see the death penalty carried out by way of stoning. This is precisely what David did. He stoned Goliath to death in the Name of the Lord — precisely fulfilling the duty of the chief civil magistrate. Here, we see in immediate and quite bold relief that David has the heart of a king, for he carries out the Law of God against the wicked to administer justice.

Finally, by way of summary then, since David challenged the blasphemous Philistine in the stead of Saul, and then slew him by stoning — fulfilling the king’s duty twice — the Law of the Lord stipulates that “by the testimony of two or three witnesses is every matter established” (Deut. 19:15; 2 Cor. 13:1). This text then recounts that David was the true king of Israel in the place of Saul. Two witnesses had confirmed the matter. Saul would go on to earnestly seek to curse David by imposing the sword against him without just cause, showing that he was really just like Goliath, a man who despised David (i.e. Christ) and transgressed the law with no regard for the lives of the innocent. Saul was — in the end — a Philistine at heart, while David possessed the heart of a king.

David’s star was rising.

The ideas are completely affordable and the range of textures style and colour mean there will be something to everyones taste.

To mark the re-emergence of a passion for carpets Danielle is creating a fantastic, themed, styled space that consists of six contrasting themed rooms. The Fun on the Floor house will demonstrate how carpet is a material that can transform a home without costing the earth through a combination of texture, style and colour. People who go and have a look for themselves can expect to explore the sensorial nature of carpet, appreciate its luxurious look and enjoy the fluffy feeling underfoot – not to mention appreciate its sound absorbing qualities.

2008 has seen a resurgence of Seventies style across the board. High-waisted, wide leg trousers and floaty, floral maxi dresses litter the fashion magazines, while Eagles and Led Zeppelin concerts are as popular as they ever were. In regards to the home, Shagpile carpet flooring and deep shades of Biba-esque purple are becoming top trends in the interior design world.

Top carpet manufacturers have announced a huge 400% increase in sales of Shagpile carpet since 2006* and the primary focus in new carpet sales is in new-style, textured flooring – from jumbo yarns and irregular hand knotted styles, to carpets made to look like pom poms.

In terms of colour, on trend customers and interior designers have been requesting classic 70’s shades such as deep purple, tangerine orange, and forest green.

The Fun on the Floor house will be open in July exclusively to media and then as a working showcase to consumers to explore options for their own home with on-hand expert advice.
