BINGO, we have a winna! The "problem" all boils down to this: if God exists, I am ACCOUNTABLE to Him and am responseable for everything I say, think and do. I am a sinner, in need of THE Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ, who came to earth, became a man, lived a totally sinless life, died upon the cross in my place in order to pay the penalty for ALL of my sin in order to totally satisfy the demands of a HOLY and RIGHTEOUS God, DIED, was burried, bodily arose from the dead three days later, bodily ascended into heaven and is coming again in Glory to judge the living and the dead.

Therefore, in order to be saved from the penalty and punishment of my sin I must HUMBLE myself before Almighty God, admit to Him that I am a sinner who is totally incapable of saving myself by "good works" or any human merit and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and personally ask Him to come into my heart and life to save me from my sin just as He has said He would IF I would accept and receive Him as my savior.

As simple and profound this "Good News" of the spiritually liberating message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is, prideful men would rather die in their sin than to humble themselves before God, bend their knee to Christ, admit their pityable sinful state and receive The Lord Jesus Christ as their savior and their one and only hope of forgiveness and eternal life with God.

The roots of atheism are almost always moral not intellectual.

Exactly..

Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

Romans 1:19-23 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
