If we applied God's word to politics, then shouldn't we take it for granted that the world has been convicted because it does not believe and take it from there? Isn't the, what do you call it, cognitive dissonance? of this conviction exactly the reason the world has spiraled into insanity and embraced it as a just the way "of life"?

For example, if we took the Gospel approach we say, "neither do I condemn you (You are forgiven). Go, and sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you..." :unsure:

Yes, and atheism is "insanity". However, if atheists or anti-Christians created eternal life,
God's "I AMness" would be disproved, because the Bible teaches that eternal life is God’s gift only to believers in Him (John 3:16).

Existential reality indicates that humans are mortal and life is painful, so it is rational to seek immortality in a heavenly existence, and the best hope for salvation at this time is the God who resurrected Christ Jesus, because God as the just and all-loving Judge (rationale for morality) is spiritually highest, and the evidence for Jesus as Messiah (the resurrection) is most credible. However, atheists deny the validity of this argument and are hell-bent on achieving immortality by becoming trans-human via AI.

Insane indeed to desire that any vaporous men remember them 'forever.'
