World Religions
Islam
Christians should love, not fear, Muslims. If you look under the surface, you’ll see just how hopeless their religion leaves them. By faithfully sharing God’s grace as revealed in His Word, you can watch the light of Christ’s salvation break into their darkened hearts.
What About Other Religions’ Holy Books?
Most other religious books do not make the claim that all knowledge is deposited in their god; and if they did, they would not be able to make good on the claim. The Mormon gods change with time. The Koran teaches that Jesus is not the Son of God.
Atheism
In a recent article titled “Why I Raise My Children Without God,” the guest writer (who remains anonymous) explains why she no longer tells her children about God: “When we raise kids without God, we tell them the truth—we are no more special than the next creature. We are just a very, very small part of a big, big machine.”
Evolution is a Religion
Two influential biologists believe that evolution is a religion—a religion of atheism where there are no end products and where evolution reigns supreme.
