Atheist rejected God because of science, then science led her to God

Decidedly “100% atheist,” Mariah Jones pitied Christians, believing they reject reason and the advancements of scientific knowledge.

“I did not believe in God,” Mariah says on a 2019 video on her YouTube channel. “I didn’t believe in spirituality at all. I thought believing in such things was silly. Basically I was just a strong believer in science.”

Right after high school, Mariah joined the Navy in 2013. It was in the Navy that she developed anorexia and bulimia.

“It grew more and more aggressive as the years went by,” she says.

Once out of the Navy, she enrolled in college, and she positively relished the science classes which at first affirmed her belief in nothing.

“I used to enjoy when people would bring up God so that I could try and destroy their argument with science.” she admits. “I would ask them impossible questions that would put them in this awkward position and make it pretty much impossible for them to answer.

“I hated when people would talk about Jesus.”

Her distaste for Christianity was extreme, fueled by the grip of the evil one in her life.

“My mentality towards Christians and anyone who was religious was like, You’re wasting your entire life trying to live by these impossible standards and these rules that supposedly God created just to go to a place after you die,” she says. “I thought religion was a man-made construct that was harmful to people.”

Then a boomerang struck in 2017 in her second year in college. The same science that in the first year of college affirmed her atheist became the science of the second year of college that undermined her atheism.

Specifically, how could biological molecules with astronomical number of atoms all sequenced with confunding minute precision have just come together by chance? she wondered.

See related article: scientist Sy Garte became a Christian when he studied molecular biology.

So at first science contributed to her atheistic arrogance. Then, as the classes advanced, they deconstructed it.

“Having to accept that everything just formed on its own by itself on accident, it didn’t make sense to me,” Mariah admits. “It really started to bother me because deep down I didn’t want to believe something. I didn’t want to take that responsibility.”

Mariah stayed after class and probed professors looking for logical answers.

“What came first, was it the blood or was it the heart that pumped the blood?” she quizzed them. “Was it the skin that held it all together or the organs inside the skin? How did nothing turn into something? How did nothing result in intelligent life? How did an explosion result in living breathing loving unique beings?”

The professors were of no help with these befuddling questions. So, her mind wandered to the obvious: there had to be an outside agent guiding the process, an external agent with a purpose from another dimension.

Her progression bugged her. She had always felt sorry for those who saw the need to believe in God. But now science was leading her towards him.

“Eventually I recognized my biases and I knew that I was being closed-minded towards the alternative which was God,” she says.

As she pondered what she had vowed never to do, she prayed to God.

“I refused to call it a prayer at this time,” she recalls. “But I basically said, ‘God if you’re real and you really exist, would you not want me to know you? Would you want me to wonder forever about if you exist? I don’t want to be disrespectful to you. But I just if you’re there, I want you to give me a sign and I’ll believe.’”

Immediately… nothing happened. To be truthful, Mariah felt embarrassed and dumb.

But as the next six months unwound, things happened: vivid dreams that reflected Bible verses and scary events rattled her.

Mariah was disinclined towards Christianity. So she searched every other religion: Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Buddhism, you name it, she researched it.

Finally, she looked into the character of Jesus in the Bible, and what she saw startled her.

“I started studying the Bible and learning about Jesus and the meaning of his life and death and what he claimed his purpose was,” Mariah says. “I ended up finding out that his purpose was essentially for me.”

Then in December 2017, her battles with anorexia and bulimia came to a head.

“I was trapped in this violent cycle that would never end, never, no matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t break out of it,” she admits. “I remember being in the bathroom. I was in the bathtub and I was throwing up. I remember feeling like, How long will I keep doing this? I felt so enslaved by this disease, this addiction”

As the water was running, she broke down crying for the first time.

Without any forethought, she cried out: “Jesus, please help me.”

This time the response was immediate.

“I can’t explain the feeling what it was. It was love. Someone loved me. I felt stillness, peace,” she explains. “Within seconds the crying stopped, not on my own. Something had come over my entire being. There are no words. The entire room was filled with Jesus.”

The anorexia and bulimia simply disappeared from her life.

“I felt healed,” she thinks. “It felt almost like I never had an addiction to begin with. This darkness, this heaviness that was over me for four years, gone completely. I went to bed that night shocked – in a good way. I just could not believe what happened to me. I still can’t fathom what he did to me.”

A few days later, she received Jesus Christ into her heart.

Initially, Mariah was reluctant to share her testimony online because she feared a blowback from her atheist friends.

“I know what I’m going to face. I know people will probably make fun of me. I’ve accepted it,” Mariah says. “I know who I used to be. I would have laughed at me. But I don’t care. I will never forget what he did for me. I will always be in his debt. This is just a small, small portion of my gratitude for what he did for me.”

Secretary of ‘Atheists in Kenya’ Resigns: “He Has Found Jesus Christ” · Caldron Pool

May 31, 2021 / newlifenarrabri / Leave a comment

“A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.”

The secretary for an organisation promoting atheism in Kenya has resigned from his position after converting to Christianity.

A statement issued by the Atheists in Kenya Society revealed Seth Mahiga was no longer interested in promoting atheism in the East African country after he “found Jesus Christ.”

The notice, which was posted to Twitter on Saturday states: “This evening, regretfully, the Secretary of the Atheists in Kenya Society Mr. Seth Mahiga, informed me that he has made the decision to resign from his position as Secretary of the society.

The statement continues: “Seth’s reason for resigning is that he has found Jesus Christ and is no longer interested in promoting atheism in Kenya.”

A day later, the organisation shared a 30-second video of Mahiga during a church service where he confessed Christ and announced his plans to resign from the society.

Mahiga said he is now so happy to be in the house of the Lord and to live by his ways.

Former atheist C.S. Lewis, who described himself as the most reluctant convert in England, once warned: “A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere– ‘Bibles laid open, millions of surprises… fine nets and stratagems.’ God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.”

Mario Murillo: The Democrats Are The Party of Atheism

DEMOCRATS: THE PARTY OF ATHEISM

Atheism can never just ‘coexist’ with Christianity. It is working to eradicate Christianity. The Democrat Party has embraced atheism, and has gone so far as to call it its biggest base.

Many are going to rail against this blog. But no one—no matter how outraged they become—will be able to controvert two facts: Atheism is proactively anti-Christian, and: Democrats have gone atheist.

We will take the second fact first. Here is what Democrats say about themselves:

“The Democratic National Committee (DNC) passed a resolution praising the values of “religiously unaffiliated” Americans as the “largest religious group within the Democratic Party.”

The resolution, which was unanimously passed at the DNC’s summer meeting on Aug. 24th this year in San Francisco, California, was championed by the Secular Coalition of America, an organization that lobbies on behalf of atheists, agnostics, and humanists on public policy. The group celebrated the DNC’s move as the first time a major party “embraced American nonbelievers.”

“Religiously unaffiliated Americans overwhelmingly share the Democratic Party’s values,” said the resolution, which adds that they should advocate for “rational public policy based on sound science and universal humanistic values.”

‘Sound science and humanistic values’ are their excuse to remove the civil rights of those who insist on believing in God.

You doubt me? Sarah Levin, director of governmental affairs for the Secular Coalition of America, praised it as a way “to ensure that policy is driven by science and evidence, not sectarian beliefs.”

That means that any part of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, considered by atheists to have come from “sectarian beliefs,” can be removed.

Result: No prayer. No worship. No church.

Again, do you doubt their intention about religious liberty? Right after ratifying their atheistic platform, Democrats took a shot at believers who use “religious liberty” to threaten the civil rights of LGBTQ Americans. What they really mean is the other way around. They will use this platform to not just threaten, but remove the civil rights of Christians.

Wake up! They want to overrule the Constitution to erase freedom of religion. Christianity is their target.

Now let’s look at atheism itself. The Bible is not vague about atheism. Psalms 14:1, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.”

Why does the Word of God take such a harsh tone toward atheism? Simple, look at the fruit of atheism:

The taproot of Marxism is atheism. Marxism has killed 100 million people in the last century. Atheism provided the vacuum of conscience needed to ethnically cleanse Russia, China, North Korea and many other places where it operates as the engine of a culture. When the Bible says, “they have done abominable works,” it isn’t kidding.

Atheists suffer from elevated rates of depression and suicide, which they admit. Staks Rosch is a vocal atheist, humanist, and progressive. Writing in the Huffington Post he said, “Depression is a serious problem within the greater atheist community and far too often, that depression has led to suicide. This is something many of my fellow atheists often don’t like to admit, but it is true.”

Denial is not a new thing to the atheistic mindset. Atheistic Democrats claim to rely on science, but only when it suits them. Biology clearly and emphatically recognizes only two genders. Ludicrously, Gavin Newsom said that he based his decision to illegally close churches on science, but when confronted with biology, he noted that there are things more important than science.

The Democrat agenda blatantly believes many things are more important than science when it comes to climate, morality, equality and environmentalism. That is why the no-God-driven leftist policies of the West Coast are consuming entire states in wildfires, riots, addictions, and every misery known to man.

Democrats turn a blind eye to the scientific process when it comes to accountability. Their policies have imprisoned minorities in violence, despair and poverty. Do they rethink or reevaluate their catastrophic experiments as scientists would? Never!

It is time for every weak-willed Christian, sitting on the fence, to wake up to the agenda of atheism. Richard E. Simmons in his book Reflections on the Existence of God, compared Christianity and atheism by saying this: “They are not just two separate views of life; they are opposing, mutually exclusive, views, delivering opposite conclusions about the meaning of life and our existence as human beings.”

Atheism then, provides the necessary inhumanity required to justify dismembering a baby, in some cases cutting its vocal cords so that the team can’t hear it screaming. Atheism was the inevitable conclusion of a political party that needed a construct in order to live with blatant hypocrisy, complete fabrications of social conditions, and out and out hatred for American history and Judeo-Christian values.

And, indeed, if you vote for them, you are denying your faith.
