Atheists make a determined choice to disbelieve in God. I've studied their "evidence." It's not evidence. It's mere guesswork.
That said, I guess I'll defer to Solomon: "The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." (Ps 14:1)
They're just not very good people and of necessity have chosen to reject God so as not to impede their sinful choices.
Why would we care what any such people think about God?
The truth is, they instinctively know God exists. Why else would they spend so much time trying to convince everyone He does not exist?
The staff of Skeptic Magazine and The Skeptical Inquirer spend a lot of time trying to convince people that Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, and ESP don't exist. Do you consider this evidence that they instinctively know that such things do in fact exist?
Exactly. Have you ever seen a bunch of non-believers in Santa Claus getting together and going to the mall and crashing a Santa Claus visit area for little kids at Christmas?
There is something unique and special about Jesus Christ that makes those who hate Him erupt in bizarre rages and go to ridiculous lengths to try to disprove His existence.
That is quite insulting to a fellow FReeper. It's attitudes like this that fracture the conservative movement. It's hard fighting the liberal left when you're being attacked by your own side. I simply don't want to be associated with sick kind of people who think this way, but I persevere for the betterment of our country.
Anyway, seeing the immorality committed by Christians all the time, and looking at my pretty much straight-laced life without a deity, makes me call into question the validity of such statements.
