(I'd like to call the atheism a religion for atheism is no more than a sort of human belief.)

 

Does an atheist speak highly of filial piety? Christianity has been encouraging it already.

 

Do atheists shout patriotism? Christianity promotes wholesome patriotism, too.

 

Do atheists call for human rights? Atheism is not entitled to claim human rights. Because the communists who believed in atheism have trampled down human rights thoroughly. on the contrary, Jesus loved human beings and sacrificed his life for them. The Bible teaches us to love our neighbors as ourselves.

 

Does an atheist speak of hope? Atheism is not qualified to speak of hope because many atheists committed suicide in despair. However, Christianity insists on resurrection! Christianity gives us the hope that, even though one dies here on earth, he will certainly be resurrected to get eternal life. Jesus himself died and resurrected from death to be the first fruit of resurrection of all who will be resurrected.

 

An old saying goes, "He who has never been to Seoul persists more strongly in his opinion about Seoul (than one who has)." We Christians know well what atheists are saying. By the way, Christians know what atheists don't know, and Christians are experiencing what they don't experience. Why are men such as atheists arguing about what religion is and what God is? Be quiet! Keep quiet, and you will be positioned at least in the middle!

 

Some Christians had lived the life of atheist before they became Christians. They were fed up with such hopeless atheistic life, wandered and sought for a new hope for a long time, and found it in Christianity.

 

All the good teachings in the world are already in Christianity. The glorious civilization of the West (democratic thoughts of human rights and equality in particular) was built on Christianity. When you become a Christian, you will own all things of the world and all the brilliant hopes of the future. Therefore, why should we Christians be attentive to the atheism, a false religion that is nothing else than an empty shell?
