The temptation to drift into atheism and life in the West.

The temptation to drift into atheism and life in the West. The temptation to fall into atheism increases when you live in and raise your child(ren) in an environment where things seem to work. These are typical questions: What do I need God for if I can work hard, earn honest living without bending anything; if there is God why is He watching while evil people are killing innocent people, why do Christians suffer the same ill and misfortune as non-christians, etc. The West that many see as the land of pl e ntiful opportunity is not without its own shortcomings that needs g odly intervention - what seem to be an absence of evil and devil is nothing but a disguise of reality.
