Truth Like Medicine: How This Atheist Came to Christ

World Religions in a Nutshell

From Ray Comfort’s book, World Religions in a Nutshell.

In a world filled with relative morality, shifting values, and murky intellectualism, God used simple logic and clarity of thought “like medicine” to bring Brent from atheism to eternal salvation.

I was an atheist who was an avid supporter of the Rational Response Squad and Infidel Guy show. I was even going to make my own show at one time to air on Free Thought media (the online programming site that hosted those shows).

Since then, through an unexpected journey, I made my way to the Lord. Though I know many Christians leave to become atheists, there are some of us who also did it the other way around.

Though I was an atheist, I was still a conservative Republican. I witnessed how the Left has tried to shift culture into a point of complacent moral relativism. People were no longer evil; they were misunderstood. There were more excuses than remedies. Along with moral relativism, I noticed that we also had pushed the whole concept of self-accountability out the window.

As silly as it sounds, that was a seed planted in my spirit. I saw that this “manmade” morality had holes in its structure. Logic would tell one that a house, no matter how nice, can’t be built on a shifting foundation.

“Logic and reason brought me here. I know I don’t know everything about God, but I know I don’t want to be a liar, a blasphemer, or an adulterer.”

I listened closely to the words you were all saying, even when I was against you. One thing that separated you from all other ministries is that you weren’t using emotion and ultra-kindness to entice people. There was a blatant truth. It was like medicine—it might not taste good going down, but the results will amaze. I was also intrigued with the concept that we are indeed evil if we see it through the eyes of perfect justice (which is God’s) and not through our shifting justice code.

I know it sounds weird, but it was the fact that there wasn’t a lovey-dovey, feel-goody tag to God’s justice that made me take this journey. The simplicity of God’s justice shot through my heart like a fiery arrow. It hit me that only man can take something simple and make it so complex and gray.

Logic and reason brought me here. I know I don’t know everything about God, but I know I don’t want to be a liar, a blasphemer, or an adulterer.

There were no tears or emotional outbreak. It was more like a wake-up call that I have to get things in order. Funny, what I once hated about your ministry is the one thing that saved me.

I know I have to do this with baby steps, but I’m glad I’m doing it. I had to lose some atheist friends (and family members) along the way, but I want perfect justice to follow. Thanks for your good work that you do.
