Why? Because even though the evidence is all around you; in history, in nature, in reason, in the testimony of untold millions of people who have experienced the salvation described in the New Testament; you will call all of it unsupported generalizations.

I call it unsupported generalizations when you claim that all atheists are sociopaths (or that they all become sociopaths) because you have to show that every single person who lacked belief in a diety became a sociopath to prove that your statement is true or prove empirically that atheism leads to sociopathy by definition. You have failed to do either.

As for evidence in history or reason, show it. Pointing out infamous atheists to "prove" your point is the spotlight fallacy.

First of all, you are making up rules as you go along..which I guess shouldn't surprise me, considering the subject matter, and your stance.

The proofs of what I am saying are legion. The Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Cuba, China, the Eastern European dictatorships, African dictatorships, South American dictatorships, etc., etc....they all thought they were smart enough to go it alone without the Creator. Where did it get them?

You accuse me of using generalities...just how specific do I need to be?

The American Republic prospered because it had Christian morality as its mainstay. The French Republic ended in blood and tyranny, because the French sneered at God, and decided they were smart enough to come up with their own rules for civil society.

(Of course, all of these societies who destroy themselves in this way in this generation come crawling to us for help in cleaning up the mess they have made...and we invariably help them out. Why? Because that's what Christians do.)

Would you rather I picked some obscure ones? :-)
