An Atheist’s View On Life vs A Christian’s View On Life

An Atheist’s View On Life


I will live my life according to these beliefs

God does not exist

It is just foolish to think

That there is a God with a cosmic plan

That an all-powerful God brings purpose to the pain and suffering in the world

It’s a comforting thought however

Is only wishful...thinking

People can do as they please without eternal consequences

The idea that

 I am deserving of Hell

Because of sin

Is a lie meant to make me a slave to those in power

The more you have the happier you will be

Our existence has no grand meaning or purpose

In a world with no God

There is freedom to be who I want to be

But with God

Everything is fine

It is ridiculous to think

I am lost and in need of saving

A Beautiful Soul

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the Scott family, friends, and church members of Bishop William Darryl Scott Sr. - Senior Pastor Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, Virginia Beach, Virginia on his untimely passing today.


May GOD place you all on eagle’s wings, and continue to strengthen you, as you face this perilous passage of pain. Please know that your Faith is being tested, but this should be a time for celebration, not of sadness, as Pastor Scott.’s life was a celebration of agape love, because he brought Peace and Joy to the congregation and members of his beloved church, as well as thousands of others, who had the privilege to come into contact with this humble servant of GOD, over his 33 years of GOD ordained Ministry.


My friends, you will be undoubtedly experiencing the agony of deep grief, as part of your emotional state for some time to come, so make no attempt to hide it or avoid it. You need to express it openly, and face it bravely, as we bid farewell to our beloved Pastor's Blessed Soul. Embracing grief, would be the only way to purge the pain from your system.


Pastor Scott has now gone home to be with our Majestic Creator, and our LORD and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST. He is now free of the distractions, and encumbrances of this dirt suit that retards us all. so let’s celebrate his sending home in a manner never seen before, his life has just begun.


Stay strong, and remain focused my friends. May GOD Bless you all richly, as you continue to administer his legacy of Love at PGBC…..To GOD Be The Glory!!!!
