Good post. I think it was C. S. Lewis who argued that even the concept of “good” implies a transcendent measuring rod to which all civilized men and women could resort for measuring what was “good” and what wasn’t. It had to be outside of human experience and existence in order to perform its task of measuring human performance. That implied to former atheist Lewis that God really did exist. So “rational” thought would seem to completely contradict atheism.
Just don’t tell that to an atheist, their head may exploded from all the “rational thought”....HA!
The illogical transgression of thought that atheists and humanist come up astounds me. When you then question them on it using simple logic, they turn it around and make it seem your logic is flawed!?
I never got that one, probably why the Bible makes a ton more sense to me than human thought.
