GODLESSNESS
All living beings, plants or animals, exist because they are created. Otherwise, how do you explain life itself? Or the cycle of recreation? Or the balance and beauty we experience in our surroundings? The creative force behind all existence is God.
The Book of Genesis of the Holy Bible says in chapter 1, verse 1, that 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.' Throughout the rest of this chapter, and continuing into chapter 2, it says that God filled the earth with light, skies and waters, moon and stars, hills and vales, birds and fishes, vegetation, and animals and man. God created a day of rest, made man to carry his image (characteristics) and place him in the garden of Eden and made for him a woman to be his life companion.
Man was created for God and God was there for man, always.God loves his creation, otherwise why would he put man in the garden of Eden where trees grow to please the sight and feast the mouth? (Gen 2:8) Yes, man needs God, his creator.
Unfortunately disobedience to God caused a deep split between his relationship with his creator God. Perhaps it was curiosity or perhaps an inner rebelion to challenge the Creator. Upon the suggestion from the serpent, the first man (Adam) and his mate (Eve) succumbed to the thrill of eating from the fruit plucked from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen chap 2 and 3). That disastrous mistake cost all human generations thereafter to be eternally separated from God because man now know how to challenge the very authority and holiness of God. Since that day, man was doomed to die, and die he did, because he could no longer live forever. He would only live a limited number of years before physical death would swallow his body back to the very earth from which he was formed.
Man was godless and became even more susceptible to a lifestyle of disobedience. The more he experience the thrill of 'being his own boss' the more he wants. He began to abuse and bully those beneath his level of intelligence and physical strength. He exercised dominance over those whom he can conquer and oppress. He believed in the immediate authority he can acquire. In so doing he attempted to be god. For every man who choose to stay away from a relationship of obedience to his creator God, he chose a life of godlessness and risk of an uncertain spiritual future. For does he ever think of what happens when he dies? Of where his soul travels to and reside? Or perhaps he does not care at all?
