(Caution: Tooth fairy spoiler. Do not read this to young children. Not that you would, but I’ve always wanted to give a warning before one of my blogs.)

These militant atheists are getting on my last nerve. I was raised by a wonderful agnostic, my daddy, who insisted I go to Sunday School so I could make up my own mind, and who took me to every youth group or church meeting I wanted to go to before I could drive myself. You might even say he was a major player in bringing me to Jesus! At least in taking me to where folks talked about Jesus.

Back to the atheists – if they’re so sure God doesn’t exist, why the heck are they so all fired up about trying to stop those of us who believe in Him from having anything to do with Him when they’re around, and even when they’re not around?

If a 6-year-old is talking about how much money the tooth fairy is going to bring her for her lost tooth, does an atheist raise the roof because the tooth fairy isn’t real? Some are so mean-spirited they might just do that, but most would probably just pat the kid on the head and smile benignly, knowing soon enough some older kid would spill the beans. The tooth fairy is no threat to an atheist’s beliefs, or lack thereof.

So, atheists – if you’re absolutely positive there is no God,  then how could my believing in something that’s not real have any effect on you?

Unless of course you’re scared there is a God and that if you get too close to someone who really believes in Him, you might catch it. Then you’d find yourself believing in God. And you’d learn about how God’s Son Jesus came to save us from hell, here on earth and in the hereafter. Then you’d –gasp! – become a born again believer and no longer an atheist.

And all your atheist friends, who are so cool because they don’t believe in God, would tease you unmercifully because now you do. How awful.

Here’s another spoiler:  when you die you’ll get to go live with Jesus, but when your atheist friends die – well God only knows where they’ll go.
