Answers in Genesis addresses this along with a multitude of others questions.

The Bible teaches us all men know God exists in their souls/inner man. Problem is they want to be their own god and live by their own rules. It won’t bode well for them in the end. Romans 1:20 says there is no excuse for not knowing and acknowledging God. I believe that.

IMO. Seems most atheists know there is God but they deny it and consider that as a prideful notch in their belt as rising above so called ‘ignorant dogma’ therefore putting themselves on a superior level.

interesting thought....TS Eliot wrote something to the effect of, we can only take so much reality.

Life is sometimes unbearably meaningful. If you love even an approximation of an approximation as Christ loved, your pain will be immense and your joy will be also. The two are inseparable. This is a deep truth.

And one that atheists are likely trying to avoid. So they put up this defense.

I think that is psychologically, spiritually and morally very true. Alas.

Romans 10 3

For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God

The only sin that will cause people to go to hell is rejection of christ- unbelief in Christ. Murder won’t, theft won’t, swearing won’t etc etc etc- unbeleif will however.

Christ has died to cover all our sins, and offers comp,ete forgiveness from sins for free- all we have to do is reach out and accept it, and none of pur sins will be held agaisnt us (this does not give cart blanc permission to live a life of debauchery- there are consequences to be had if one does- but it does mean that though our actions may cut short our life, or give us horrible conditions, ie addiction, std’s, broken relationships etc) we still will be saved.)

Of all the gifts in life, the gift of salvation is the greatest of them all. Some choose to ignore it, and that is their choice- but the gift is available to all.

Less meaning. Those are the old school atheists. Most had religious upbringings.

The new batch (who go in for "the singularity" and "the universe is a simulation" etc) want more meaning but are looking for it in all the wrong places.

[Zionist Conspirator]

I wish! If atheists really were against meaning, we wouldn't be experiencing one "crisis" after another so the elite will have a chance to create a worldwide dystopian nightmare in the name of solving "problems."

Our enemy isn't scientific materialism (which is only pulled out on occasion to attack the Biblical G-d), but new age fruitcakes who "meditate" in the UN "meditation room," recite the Lucis Trust's "great invocation," endorse and practice "indigenous" shamanism, and chatter endlessly about the absolute necessity of "human fraternity" and a "planetary humanism." If all of these things are the work of atheists, they are certainly not atheists who are against meaning.

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” (Psalm 14:1)

When one starts out being a fool, it's not hard to see why they wouldn't get any smarter about what is truth.
