1 | Atheists Are Believers Too | Ps 14:1 | Hank | 10068 | ||
In my lifetime I've personally known but two atheists, both of whom coincidentally happened to be attorneys. What follows, in dialogue format, is a distillation of what I learned from these two men (I am Q (questioner) and they are A (answerer)...... Q. Do you believe God exists? A. No...... Q. How do you explain your existence and the existence of the universe around you? A. I can't. It just happened. Evolution, I suppose..... Q. How did man originate? A. Evolved from primordial ooze, I guess...... Q. Where did the primordial ooze come from? A. Like I said, it just happened, the way everything else happened. ...... Q. And how was that? A. I don't know, by mere chance, I suppose..... Q. Can you prove that God doesn't exist? A. No. Can you prove that he does? (My answer was No, I can't prove that, but I fervently believe that God exists) ..... Q. But you believe that God does not exist, although you can't prove it, is that right? A. Yes..... Q. So you are also a believer? ..... A. Well, yes, if you put it that way......... Q. So you believe that God does not exist and I believe that He does. Since neither of us can prove his position, we must rely more or less on faith, isn't that true? A. Well, it doesn't require any faith to be an atheist..... Q. But you agreed you had no proof that God does not exist. It's merely what you believe, isn't that true? A. Yes, that's what I believe...... Q. So you believe that and since you can't prove it, you are walking by faith, much the same as I am, right?.....A. I suppose so....... Q. Since I believe that God exists and that He created all things, I think the amount of faith required of me is much less than yours. A. Much less? What do you mean?......My final response: You must come up with answers about how the heavens and earth got here, how you got here, what your purpose is, and where you're going. How did all the laws of nature come about? A thousand and one questions pop up for which you have not a single answer. You have to have more faith to believe that there is no Creator for all this than I do to believe there is. I can come up with far more reasons for believing in God than you can for not believing in Him. For example (and I started naming off reason after reason ...... It was along about here that both of the skeptics became increasingly uncomfortable and wanted to change the topic of conversation. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Atheists Are Believers Too | Ps 14:1 | Makarios | 10073 | ||
This is very true, Hank! We can come up with the answers of humanity that continue to confound or are beyond the grasp of belief for atheists! I couldn't help but get a good chuckle out of the conclusion that you came to.. That is enough to make any atheist reconsider their 'reality'. Atheists believe. They believe in what? Do they believe in the fact that they are staunchly against this idea of God? Why must they be 'staunchly' against this idea of God or go so far as refuting it? Is the idea of believing in God bad? By the way, how do we know what is good and what is bad anyway? Good post Hank! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
