Atheists need God or else they would have nothing not to believe in.

Atheists need God

Otherwise their last words as the enemy overruns their fox hole or their ship sinks beneath the waves is “’Oh Random Chance!”

One can live his or her life saying they know or believe there is no God but at the same time behave nobly, charitably, and with great empathy towards others. If there is a righteous God who rewards the just and punishes the unjust, God should then favorably look upon that person regardless of his or her philosophical unbelief....

Similarly, there’s no eternal benefit to calling oneself a “Christian” if one lacks genuine love, charity, empathy, and compassion towards others. God does not care what you think; he cares what you do.

Hear, Hear.

A universe without a central determining course is indeterminate chaos.Knowledge is based on reality that is determinable. The (intellectual) act of belief is not possible in a random universe where nothing is knowable. Knowing is only possible where there is an ability to discern truth. Truth is only possible where there is an arbiter of what is real and what is not real. Without an objective standard nothing can be known. An atheist can not accept the truth of anything because he cannot accept a standard for reality. Atheism is not intellectually feasible because it is instantly self contradictory.
