The Atheist Got It-Catholicism Answers

There has been a video circulating YouTube that quite frankly makes me laugh and roll my eyes.  Fun video-editing, cute poetry tricks, and a hipster jacket does not guarantee you with the truth.  Truth does.

After this video was posted, there was another video posted by a YouTube guy named The Great Atheist. (please excuse the cussing, he just REALLY gets it)

He lays it down from a non-Christian perspective, which is great demonstration as to why that popular video is wrong and at the core falls short of an important truth.  The Great Atheist gets it---God tells us to do the radical.  He says that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  He has come to bring swords, not peace on earth.  What does this mean?  This means that as Christians we are required to give our lives, love Him the most, and yes, follow HIS religion that He placed on earth.

Christianity was never meant to be a spectator sport.  It is a Way of Life, which requires faith and radical Truth to follow.  The Great Atheist lays down what probably is the main reason why I choose Catholicism.  The relationship with God requires faith and choosing...the only thing worth it.  There is something that comes as a result of a relationship with Jesus.

Coke is soda----yes, it really is.

But enough bashing from a non-Christian perspective, because that doesn't tell the whole story.  What is the answer to the lies in the video?  What's the next step?  Catholicism.

BadCatholic, my favorite Catholic blog out there at this point, totally boom-roasted the I-love-Jesus video.  Please read---he lays it all down perfectly.

I won't add any more argument-wise. There have been multiple poems, posts, and videos posted in the last 48 hours about it.  I simply want to share the truth, because that's all that matters.

At the top of his blog, Marc has a beautiful quote: "Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair." (GK Chesterton, the man whom my dear friend Ruthie calls her soulmate)

Truth exists, the Incarnation happened. As a result, humanity is never the same. Christians believe what we believe and follow what we follow because we fell madly in love with the Best Thing that will ever happen to us.  We're freaks, we're dorks, we've chosen something radical.  There is something crazy that

Here's some videos with truth, truth, and truth for my visual friends.
