None of this stuff is easy. If atheism or any particular brand of religion were simple and uncontroversial, we wouldn’t have been killing each other over it for the past few thousand years.
It isn’t and we do.
Killing each other is human nature. Take away Christianity from any given society, and the killing increases exponentially.
I’m glad you brought up the notion of “easy” and “uncontroversial.” The ultimate controversy is certainly volatile, and what I really want to point out is that it is not of an intellectual nature. It is a struggle that takes place on a spiritual level. True wisdom is of the spirit and has nothing to do with IQ.
Atheists don’t understand this. And although we discuss it here within an intellectual context, it doesn’t require intellectual understanding.
