There is no God

Psalms 10:4 - In the pride of his countenance the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, "There is no God."

Psalms 14:1 - To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good.

Psalms 53:1 - To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none that does good.


A 14x48 Billboard on Manchester Road in my community went up the other day. Its theme is "Imagine No Religion" with a stained glass window background. For more see here.

While it is tempting to blame religion for much of the evil in the world, such an analysis is naive. While atheists love to point out that without religion there would have been no Spanish Inquisition, Taliban or World Trade Center, they forget the other side of the ledger.

Have people been slaughtered in the name of religion? Certainly. Yet, the Crusades are a drop in the bucket compared to the massive death toll caused by atheistic regimes. The leaders of the French Revolution shoved God out of their social justice crusade, and the result was a blood bath. Stalin is responsible for the deaths of at least 20 million of his own people, and Mao Zedong's death toll runs upwards of 40-70 million. From Pol Pot in Cambodia to the Kims in North Korea, governments freed of "religion" – those utopias of atheistic communism - have murdered millions upon millions of people. People of various religions continue to fight all around the world, but, anti-God governments streamline human death.

Any time people get starry-eyed about imagining "no religion too" they need a little history lesson.
