Is There a God?

UNTIL NOW I have followed in the present book the precept of Jesus: “Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.”

My opponents wanted to pursue a certain course of arguments. I have walked along with them. I have discussed their arguments even when the issues were not at all important.

But now I would rather concentrate on the principal question at issue between atheists and Christians: Is there a God to worship, to rely upon, to be protected by, to be comforted with, or not?

According to the French atheist theoretician R. Garaudy, totality and absoluteness is not God, but “the name man.” There is nothing superior to man. Christians believe in God and in His promises to assist them in this life and to provide life eternal. Garaudy writes, “To us atheists, nothing is promised and nobody waits for us.” Sad words indeed! To atheists, not even the loyal friendship of their own comrades is promised. Garaudy was rejected by his atheist friends. Nobody waited to extend him a helping hand or a friendly gesture when he was in distress. He found himself alone.

A young composer was poor and had to live in a rented room. A friend encouraged him, “When you die, there will be an inscription on the wall of this house.” The composer was enthusiastic, “You really mean it?” “Surely,” was the reply. “There will be an inscription ROOM TO RENT.” No more than this can Garaudy wait for after death.

Man is God. The whole atheist-humanist creed breathes this belief.

Having in view this delusion, one of the Soviet underground poets, I. Gabai, was moved to write the following verses:
