Pues lo hace para mostrarnos una verdad mas profunda. Es que, cuando el verso habla de “los vivos”, no esta
refiriéndose a aquellos cuyos cuerpos están vivos, sino a los justos [aquellos cuyas almas están vivas, pues ya
tienen vida eterna]. Estos “vivos”, saben que sus cuerpos habrán de morir, pero no tienen temor, pues saben
que sus almas vivirán para siempre.
Por el otro lado, cuando el verso habla de “los muertos”, esta refiriéndose a los injustos [aquellos que se
oponen a la Ley de Dios], cuyos cuerpos están vivos, pero cuyas almas están “muertas en vida”. Es que, el
alma que no se fundamenta en la Ley Divina, esta “muerta”, y “nada sabe” de las verdades de Dios. Y, si esta
alma esta muerta, aun cuando su cuerpo esta vivo, ¿cuanto mas no estará muerta cuando su cuerpo haya
fallecido?
The reason why no prudent person would ever brag about being an atheist
Belief in the God of the Hebrew Bible, doesn’t demand you to portray the Creator as being “an old man
living in the Sky”. What it actually entails, is the belief in the existence of a Supreme (yet undetermined)
Power, who rules and judges mankind according to a simple but unavoidable moral Law: a Law that could be
summarized as “sowing and reaping” (also know as law of “measure for measure”).
In other words, that if you do good, sooner or later goodness will be done unto you (“what goes around,
comes around”); if you forgive, you too will be forgiven; if you show mercy, mercy will be shown unto you;
if you talk to God (in prayer), God will somehow manage to talk back to you; if you exalt the Creator, the
Creator will also exalt you; if you try to [unjustly] destroy someone else, someone else will also try to
destroy you;
and if you cheat and lie unto other people, other people will in the end try to cheat and lie unto you. Thus, it
befits the wise and prudent person never to tell anyone he harbors atheistic ideas.
Why? Because knowledgeable people might lose their trust in him, as they’ll think this person doesn’t
believe there’s reward for the good he can do, nor any punishment for the evil he might perform (a stance we
wouldn’t tolerate on anyone responsible for an important duty, like taking care of our elderly parents, or
trying to heal our sick children).
In short, to brag about being an atheist is no good at all, as it shows our lack of prudence and good judgment
(signs of a corrupted mind). And maybe that is the reason why the Hebrew Scripture goes on to say: “The
fool said in his heart: “There is no God”. They are corrupt; their deeds are vile...” (Psalm 14:1, Tree Of Life
Bible)
