The Atheist Delusion

The Atheist Delusion is the notion that if there were only “proof” or if only they could witness a miracle, they would believe. The sad truth is that there is no amount of proof or spectacular miracles that would ever be enough for the atheist to believe BECAUSE “light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19).

I was reminded of this when reading the miraculous account of Christ’s healing of the two demon-possessed men in the country of the Gergesenes. And what was the response of the people upon seeing such a miracle? “They begged Him to depart from their region” (Matthew 8:34)!

Signs and wonders will never be enough to convert the darkened heart, but will actually be used by Satan to lead many to follow the Anti-Christ in the religion of the future (Revelation 19:20). As our Lord Jesus Christ so aptly says it, “If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead (Luke16:31).
