Hmmmmmmmmm. Is ignorance bliss? With this subject matter, is it a safer positition the non believer chooses, to lessen the impact of having to justify to oneself the posibility that there could be more to life than flesh and bone? That a mothers instinct and protection of her children is a chemical reaction, and not possibly the notion(?) that man was created in Gods image, and that the instinct of protection may in fact be a devine conotation, a plan for mankind, even a blueprint of life?
Is it safer for people to deny their spiritual self, because they do not understand it?
Or could it be that those who try to increase their spiritual growth, and open their hearts and minds to accept the lessons of love and compassion, may indeed validate the existance of God, on the same scale as to believe the sun will rise tommorow and when it sets, you can see stars in the heavens---and when we expand our chests, we breath in gases that sustain us. Do not these very things become your reality? for the believer, God is just as real. His Word is written, it is documented, it is an historical record that transcends science. To believe in God is not by its acceptance a denial of science. It may never be that science will prove the existance of God. God is proved by faith, and is revealed to those who believe by the power of the Holy Ghost. It is documented and accepted by most all the religions of the world, that Jesus Christ, Son of God in the Flesh, lived and died and was reserected as a testimony of love and redemption, and the basis for man to return to God after death in the flesh.
When you die, will your body turn to dust. It surely will. But what of your soul? Will it die as well? I believe not. I believe the soul that is in all man,which in and of itself is the man that God created (not and ape or transmutted tadpole) is in the pervue of His Grace, and when at his choosing He decides to reunite the soul with the body, He can make it happen, for it is an eternal process and is spiritual in nature. That is beyond the scope of mans understanding. But it cannot be denied just because you haven't seen it happen yet. You cannot tempt God to act in the way you want. He allows you to make free choices. In essence, He allows you enough rope to hang yourself. But He has provided a ransom for you, and you have the opurtunity to accept Him. Again the choice is yours.
For me, God is as real as the air I breath, I will not deny Him. I am happy beyond measure knowing his Love for me, and for you. It is the very foundation of life itself, the very purpose I was placed on this earth, to learn, grow, multiply, teach, love. This is no accident of some space time continuim. This life is a designed and planned part of exaltation for all the hosts of Heaven that suported and loved God in the pre existance. The very fact you can read this is suffecient proof to me that God loved you enough (and you Him) to send you to this earth to obtain a body and go through lessons of life on your journey to exaltatation. Yes, life is a journey, a Devine journey. Study the God of your choosing. Learn the Truth. It is there to be revealed to those who will but seek after it. Don't sit back and claim atheism, or agnostic, step up to the plate and justify your belief on Truth. There is no truth in athesim, just ignorance.
Is ignorance bliss?
I think not.
