Geez. I've read the entire bible many times and the consequences are irritation and aggravation.
Was there anything in particular that aggravated you?

I've heard about Atheists, but did not know why they think what they do, and at the same time I did not assume that they were any different than most human beings, including myself.
As far as I am concerned, people have just been exposed to different social circumstances that influence them in their decisions.
I think that Atheists are entitled to know more about what the SDA church has accumulated over the years, because of the comprehensive knowledge that it has which isn't even known by many of their own members, due to their own slackness, and a glut of false teachers and leaders.
When I say comprehensive knowledge of SDA's, they have in their writings the knowledge on how to avoid all of the major diseases, and the keys to longevity.
The average SDA today lives 10 years longer than any other culture in the world.
That figure was much higher in the past.
There have been other cultures up to the 1980's which were equal to the SDA's in longevity, but modern life style has reduced those numbers for them as well.
If SDA's had been faithful to their teachings since the mid 1800's, some of their descendants would be living up to and over 200 years old without experiencing disease and illness. And most people will immediately scoff at that.
The best that SDA;s have accomplished was in the 1960's where their longevity almost doubled the average. While people were dying in their fifties, they were living up to their nineties and over.
But as apostasy and fashionable thinking came in, the age was reduced to 25 years longer in the late 1980's. That figure has been falling ever since they gave up their traditional teachings and became like the nominal churches of Christendom.
The average age of the common population has also risen from around 55 to 69 + since the 1960's.
SDA's were certainly not the only line of long living people, but the causes of longevity are universal, and some cultures and families have unknowingly practiced
some of SDA health reform.
The source of SDA knowledge comes from principles outlined in the Bible.
God would like people to be wise and help themselves to avoid as much suffering as possible, but also to have a healthy mind that is able to have an intelligent understanding of truth.
It is not likely that the world will ever accept what God has given, but they are still entitled to know about it. And the same applies to everything that SDA's have been privy to, which God intended all should know.
It is inevitable that while I learn about atheists, they will learn about SDA's, and I hope that I have been balanced in that exchange.
