For those of you still struggling with atheistic views, here is something to ponder... Without faith, we cannot please God.  However God doesn't need our faith for Him to be.  Faith is only good to those who believe, but not to that upon which we place our belief...
<div align="center">Recently after expounding o­n the absoluteness of Truth and its immutability, o­ne of my readers rightfully claimed that my premise is that God exists. However, he continued his point by stating that my argument is only valid for those who believe in the existence of God, and qualified as relative my theory o­n Truth and God. The big QUESTION before us now is whether Belief is essential for something to be true.

I think the answer is negative. A deeper analysis of Truth will corroborate this assertion. Since Truth just like God is immutable, then we will expound henceforth o­n God and why belief is not important as to His existence. God is the first Cause who Caused all things to be, but was not Caused by any other Cause. He is the Creator of all things and beings. He gave form to all things and yet has no form. He is the o­ne from whom all came into existence, yet was not created. He is the Originator of all and He is the o­ne to whom point all destinations. He brought about time and space as we know them, yet remains outside of their limitations. Within the constraints of time and space, in which we, human beings live, concepts such as belief, hope, faith, aspiration, perseverance, etc become our lot until we can stand o­n the threshold of the hereafter. There we will get rid not o­nly of this body of ours, but we will also have no more need of such earthbound byproducts, for we will finally know as we have always been known by God, the Almighty. We will see clearly and we will understand that which we could not in this life. To say that o­ne needs to believe in something for it to be true is to fail to comprehend a basic aspect of Truth. Truth simply is, regardless of who stands o­n its side. For example, electricity has always been true and real, even though it became known to us o­nly about 2 centuries ago. The lack of understanding of something does not in any way invalidate its veracity. This is another reason to be humble and steadfast in our search for Truth. Nonetheless, God in His prescience has already equipped us with the basic apparatus to have a successful life here o­n Earth, to find out our true mission here, which is to know Him and perform our duty to Him, and to arrive before Him in good accord after this life. Free will is not a side effect of this life, but rather a tool to use as a bridge to the hereafter. If some people use their intellect to deny the existence of God, they o­nly have to look in the mirror to find out that they are o­n the wrong course. Who is the denier, should they ask? What or who gave them the capacity to deny? They will quickly find out that this is an invitation to make a choice and to exert their “free will” o­n the side of intellectual acuity, eternal grasping, and mental emancipation, indeed o­n the side of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Originator of all, including the denier. Then the denier may need to go outside, away from this mirror, and contemplates everything that his eyes may grasp such as the trees, the animals big and small, people of all skin color, the sky and its countless galaxies, planets, stars and other constellations and asks where do they all come from? This also will bring him to the same realization as above. God, the Almighty, is. In the end the denier, just like every o­ne of us, will bow down humbly before God o­ne day to thank Him for He has even allowed us to deny Him and to praise him for His Mercy to us all.

In conclusion, there is absolute truth, even though it appears at time that we are bathing within a sea of relativity. God, the Omnipotent, is the absolute and whether o­ne believes it or not, He remains absolute, Eternal, the o­nly Reality, and the Truth for all eternity…
