Is God a
Narcissist? Or Why Atheists Cringe (with Subtext)
by Michael C.
Keith
“We’re
alive. So, we can thank God for that.” (Too
bad about all the others though.)
“God saved us
from dying in the accident.” (He saw if
wasn’t our time.)
“The Lord decided to
keep us alive.” (Out of all the
others, we were chosen.)
“God’s grace kept
us safe from the storm.” (That
killed all those other folks.)
“Everybody else
perished, but God protected us.” (He
singled us out as Christians.)
“The Heavenly Father
guarded the members of our family.” (For
living by His word.)
“The Savior lifted us
from the fire, but all the rest died.” (For
not seeking His salvation.)
“We asked Him to spare
us.” (And He listened to our
calls for help.)
“Guess the Lord was
just on our side.” (And not with
that other family.)
God watches over His
people. (Not those who reject Him.)
“Our faith in the
Almighty is what saved us.” (That’s
why we lived and they didn’t.)
“He showed mercy for my
wife and me.” (‘Cause we are
churchgoers.)
“The Holy Spirit
answered our prayers.” (That’s
the way of the Lord.)
“Thank God for curing our
child of cancer.” (We asked him
for a miracle.)
“He kept our
house standing during the quake.” (God
made it stronger than the others.)
“We didn’t lose our
fortune during the recession.” (Because
we invested in the Lord.)
“Give yourself
over to Him.” (And He will let you enter
paradise.)
“You’ll burn in
Hell if you deny Him. (That’s what
happens if you don’t praise Him.)
Amen . . .
