I'd say it means that atheists are responsible for shining the light on the world.

Of course. Just like that guy that invented evolution. Darwin.
Although the invention of evolution seems to be more important to the atheists, the light bulb, has enabled people to move around at all hours and get into trouble. Before the light bulb taverns closed early and there was not much problem with "riding a horse while intoxicated", at 3:00 AM.
So, the invention of the light bulb is what enables people to drive drunk. And btw, the cell phone and it's use while driving has caused many a death. So is the cell phone a good thing or the work of the devil?
All things that are called progress, aren't necessarily progress.

God uses even the unbelievers to fulfill his righteous purposes. The light of Christ, unlike the Holy Ghostt, fills the immensity of space and everyone upon the earth is influenced by it in some degree or fashion.
Since the opening of the heavens, as indicated, man has conquered the darkness of night through the development of the electric light, the incandescent light, the neon light, etc.
Gas lamps were a laboratory novelty in the early life of Joseph Smith and his followers, and the electric light as invented by Edison was not given to man until 1879 and 1880.
Great strides have been made in conquering pain and disease. The life of man has been prolonged, and pain alleviated through the use of anesthetics, medical and surgical discovery and development, refrigeration, sanitation.
Think of the great advances in transportation, railroads, steamships, automobiles, airplanes, jet planes, and so on.
We have the marvelous means of communication, such as the telegraph, the telephone, radio, television, Telstar broadcasting, and now space exploration and space satellite technology.
Surely, we can say with Morse when he sent the first message by telegraph in 1844, over a forty-mile line, “What Hath God Wrought!”
The glory of God is intelligence; in other words, light and truth. All intelligence comes from God, and anyone whose mind is opened to the development of inventions for the benefit and blessing of mankind receives that light and truth through study, through research, through inspiration and guidance from the Spirit of the Lord, whether that individual be a Morse, an Edison, an Alexander Graham Bell, an Orville or Wilbur Wright, or whoever he may be.

Atheists don't believe in the devil either so how can they be a tool of the devil. Remember God said, "Let there be light". Its easier to read the bible at night with a light bulb.

Edison was a deaf workaholic. In the late 1800's and early 1900's people did not stand up and say one way or the other what their beliefs were. Who knows the heart of man, but God? I will thank Edison for the light bulb because I have used many of them. God made sure I could read my Bible even to the invention of Thomas Edison's light bulb.

Atheist don't believe in God. The devil does. Atheist should not be classified with devil worshipers. The just don't believe God exist. Although I don't understand how they could not think he exist when everything we need on earth has been provided for us. Even the materials and knowledge to make light bulbs.

That's not a very "Brilliant" question....Of course not! Athiest's do not believe in God or Devil. Now if a Satanist invented it, and you believe Satanists do the work of the Devil then maybe for you the lightbulb is a tool of the Devil...and you should destroy them all right away!!!!

Yes because now I can stay up until all hours of the night playing computer games and then I'm super tired the next morning instead of feeling well-rested. Also, think of all the stupid things people do late at night that really, if you think about it, end up going NOWHERE! What a monumental waste of time to be up that late. I won't say it isn't fun, but it's self-destructive fun...

Thomas Edison was a freethinker, and was most likely a deist, claiming he did not believe in "the God of the theologians," but did not doubt that "there is a Supreme Intelligence." He is quoted, "I believe that the science of chemistry alone almost proves the existence of an intelligent creator."

merely one, if the evidence means that the gentle bulb needs to get replaced. Or None, the gentle bulb needs to achieve the point end that it needs to regulate by technique of itself.
