I don’t believe in atheism.
A praise of reason preceded by a completely irrational statement. You just can't parody these people - they do a better job themselves in everything they say. At least the old school atheists were able to muster up a coherent, intellectual (albeit wrong) defense for their position.
Of course not. Atheism is a myth. The earth "just happened"? What a whopper!
In logic, one cannot absolutely prove a negative. Best example, prove: “There is no gold in Alaska.” Can’t be done, as one molecule would be only proof needed (after digging up the whole state..., and really only an all-knowing being could prove a negative.
Therefore, atheism itself is illogical, and a HUGE leap of faith. Agnosticism, I can understand, as it’s honest: “I don’t know if there is a God.” However, practically every agnostic I’ve known is just really an atheist at heart—lives like one, and very typically isn’t seeking to find out if there is a God or not.
The raging, “evangelical” atheist to me is yet another proof that there is a God, as if God is just an imaginary “spaghetti monster” on the level with Santa and his elves, why would you go to any trouble or effort at all to disprove that?
Besides that, they know you can’t prove a negative....so to me, it shows that the raging Richard Dawkins-style atheist, has a serious axe to grind, and is bound and determined to prove (to themselves) or really insist there’s no God....an insistence borne of fear (and surely, hatred).
It’s C. S. Lewis’s wish-fulfillment atheism description (where he stood a typical Freudian “God as wish fulfillment” on its head_: All things being equal, people have a lot more to gain (so they think) by inventing the idea of no God (and so no eternal accountability) than by making up in wish-fulfillment One before Whom we all must one day stand.
