How disproving actually proves

There are those who dedicate their lives to rebellion. But against what? Against fiction? Can someone truly rebel against the imaginary? Would a person spend their life defiantly opposing Hogwarts’ rules about first-year students owning brooms? Such a notion is laughable. Fiction doesn’t provoke rebellion; it doesn’t demand opposition. And yet, some wage a lifelong war against something—and that something is unmistakably real. 

Many who pride themselves on defying God and rejecting truth live lives marked by chaos, addiction, and self-destruction. Their personal relationships lay in ruins, shattered by selfish pursuits. Some are born into privilege with opportunities to uplift and inspire, yet they squander their gifts in the pursuit of indulgence. Rather than bringing joy or wisdom to others, their influence leaves behind despair, depression, and moral decay.

Such individuals are often celebrated as enlightened rebels, champions of so-called liberation from restrictive morality. But their lives tell a different story—one of emptiness, turmoil, and an endless pursuit of fulfillment that never comes. And herein lies the irony: their rebellion does not disprove God; it confirms Him.

If Jesus Christ and the Bible were mere myths, why spend a lifetime opposing them? Fiction does not demand such obsession. No one loses sleep or wages war against Cinderella’s glass slipper or the laws of an imaginary utopia. Rebellion only makes sense if there is something real to rebel against. Those who rage against God, who dedicate themselves to rejecting Him, are not fighting a fantasy—they are resisting the very truth they claim does not exist. And what legacy do such lives leave behind? A life of broken relationships, personal torment, and influence that led others into despair, not hope. He fiended for fleeting highs, yet his soul was starved for the lasting fulfillment only truth could offer. 

Critics may argue that just because people rebel against something doesn’t mean that thing is true. People have resisted false ideas throughout history—many fought against geocentrism, for example, but that didn’t make it true. Why should Christianity be any different? The difference lies in the nature of the rebellion. People rejected geocentrism because they found a more compelling truth. But when people rebel against God, they do not replace Him with a greater truth—they replace Him with themselves. Their rebellion is not based on rational discovery but on defiance, indulgence, or a desire to escape accountability. A person rejecting an untrue scientific claim does so for truth’s sake, but those rejecting God do so to serve their own will. This is why their lives often spiral into chaos. Their rebellion does not lead to enlightenment but to destruction—an outcome consistent with rejecting absolute truth. To truly be insane is to reject reality itself—not by mistake or ignorance, but by willful defiance. Insanity is not merely holding a false belief; it is clinging to falsehood in the face of overwhelming evidence, denying what is obvious, and constructing a world that exists only in one’s mind. When a person rejects God, they do exactly this. They do not replace Him with a greater truth, nor do they build their lives upon something more stable. Instead, they enthrone their own will as the highest authority, redefining morality, truth, and purpose to suit themselves. Sin, by its nature, is irrational: it offers pleasure at the cost of destruction, promises freedom while enslaving, and blinds people to their own self-inflicted ruin. Those who live in rebellion become trapped in wicked cycles. constantly running from a truth they know, deep down, they cannot escape. They are not simply wrong—they are choosing insanity, and it is a trick of the devil to make the world idolize figures that do just this. 

Some people reject Christianity not because they truly oppose Christ, but because they have encountered a distorted version of the faith—one marked by hypocrisy, legalism, or abuse. This is an understandable and painful reality. When someone has been wounded by those who claim to represent God, their rejection is often more about self-protection than rebellion. They are not necessarily fighting against truth; they are reacting to a falsehood that was presented as truth.However, this explanation does not account for everyone who stands against God. There is a difference between stepping away from faith due to personal wounds and actively waging war against it. Many who fight against Christianity do so not from ignorance, but from knowledge—fully aware of what the Bible teaches, yet choosing to resist it. If God were merely a myth, there would be no need for such opposition. People do not devote their lives to disproving fairy tales. The intensity of their hostility suggests something deeper: an internal struggle with truth itself.Even when someone rejects Christianity because of a poor representation, this does not disprove the idea that rebellion often confirms truth. If anything, it suggests that deep down, they know something is wrong. Their anger toward religious hypocrisy implies that they recognize a standard—a vision of what Christianity should be. But if truth did not exist, how could they have such an expectation in the first place? A counterfeit only exists because there is something real to imitate. When people resist a distorted version of faith, their frustration may actually point toward the reality of God, not away from it. Instead of disproving truth, their struggle suggests that truth must exist—and is worth seeking.

While some non-believers may appear content, this does not mean they have found true fulfillment. Many distract themselves with achievements, relationships, or personal philosophies, but these things cannot replace the deep, unshakable peace that comes from knowing God. Temporary happiness does not equate to ultimate satisfaction. Additionally, the Bible itself acknowledges that some people will seem to prosper despite rejecting God (Psalm 73:3-12), but their end is what ultimately matters. The argument is not that every atheist suffers visibly, but that rebellion against God leads to a life without true meaning or eternal hope. Furthermore, those most vocal in their opposition to God—the ones whose lives become consumed by rebellion—often exhibit destructive behaviors. The patterns of addiction, brokenness, and despair are not universal among non-believers, but they are disproportionately evident among those who actively war against God.

It is undeniable that mental health struggles can affect anyone. However, there is a key distinction: when a person suffers but has faith, they have an anchor, a foundation of hope beyond their circumstances. Those who reject God and live in rebellion often lack this foundation, making their suffering aimless and their attempts at fulfillment futile. Moreover, the argument is not that every struggling person is in rebellion, but that those who embrace a lifestyle of defiance against truth often experience deeper turmoil. Sin, by its nature, leads to destruction. When someone rejects the truth that brings life, they inevitably embrace choices that lead to decay. The consequences of rebellion—self-indulgence, addiction, broken relationships—are the natural outcomes of a life lived in opposition to wisdom.

If morality is entirely subjective, then the concept of rebellion becomes meaningless. A person cannot truly “rebel” against a system they do not acknowledge. And yet, many aggressively fight against biblical morality, treating it as an enemy. This reaction itself proves they recognize some kind of authority in it.The very hostility toward biblical truth reveals an instinctive recognition that it makes a claim on their lives—one they choose not to accept.Furthermore, history shows that moral relativism leads to chaos. Societies that reject absolute truth ultimately descend into moral confusion and self-destruction. If morality were purely subjective, there would be no basis for calling anything evil—including actions universally condemned, like murder or slavery. The rebellion against God is not just a rejection of personal belief; it is a rejection of the very foundation of order, meaning, and moral law.

The loudest voices in rebellion against God do not live lives of peace, fulfillment, or lasting joy. They may revel in temporary indulgence, but their pursuit of pleasure often turns into addiction, emptiness, and despair. Their opposition to Christianity is not rooted in reasoned argument but in an aversion to truth itself.

No one devotes their life to resisting fiction and is taken seriously. The following of those who rage against God follow because He is real, and His truth demands a response. Their rebellion does not invalidate Him—it proves Him. And for those willing to set aside defiance, the truth offers something far better: life, peace, and joy that rebellion can never provide.
