I do think the conclusion has some merit. That most atheists do not live as though life is the accident that they claim it to be.

How so? I've seen this assertion before, yet I've never actually seen it defined how someone would live if they believe such, nor any justification for the assertion.

But I believe that God provides the Atheist with ample proof and is rejected by the Atheist.

Yeah. I'm just rejecting Krsna because I ignore the evidence. What's your excuse for following a false god instead of becoming a Vishnuvite?

Bleh. I get pinged on this just before I have a class. I'll be back >:)

Well, you would think that an athiest would reject most conventional notions of right and wrong. And be somewhat selfish and ruthless, constrained only by social law and less so by social convention. Almost like sociopaths.

But that's conjecture, because I don't really believe in atheists. See I think God put knowledge of Him on peoples hearts, so there are no true atheists. Just people in deep denial.

Krsna? Vishnu? Yeah, what evidence??? There's only one God who provides evidence.

While Vishnu threatens you with having to live this life over and over again until you are good enough. The God of Israel tells you that "it is appointed unto man ONCE to die and after that the judgement".

The God of Israel flat out tells you, you aren't worthy, you aren't going to be worthy, so let Me handle it. Let Me pay the price. I AM your only hope. "Isaiah 1:18 - Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

Only one God stands and invites people to seek Him and only one God stands ready to make good on that invitation.

Zephaniah 2:3 - Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

Jeremiah 29:13 - And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Actually a better answer to that is this. Look at the teachings of Krishna. He taught that Jesus was a avatar of Vishnu. But what Jesus taught and what Krishna taught are two different things. They can't both be avatars of the same God as claimed and yet teach two dramatically different views.

So which is right? The Vishnu religion with it's internal contradictions between alleged avatars?

Or Christianity, which openly declares that there are no other Gods but the God of Israel.
