Apologetics for athiests

[caroljm36]

Any recommendations for a highly educated scientist who doesn’t believe in God?

Yes. He should stop looking for scientific evidence of God. God is not hiding under a microscope or at the end of a telescope. God is not hiding on another planet or in a petri dish. God is to be found where He is always hiding … in the depths of the human heart.

Well in all honesty, to that an atheist would say that confirms that God is a human invention.

Thanks for the link…heheh…I like this part in the beginning. I’d like to try it on a New Ager…

“I am convinced that if we could tell the supernatural story of Christ word for word as of a Chinese hero, call him the Son of Heaven instead of the Son of God, and trace his rayed nimbus in the gold tread of Chinese embroideries or the gold lacquer of Chinese pottery, instead of in the gold leaf of our own old Catholic paintings, there would be a unanimous testimony to the spiritual purity of the story. We should hear nothing then of the injustice of substitution or the illogicality of atonement, of the superstitious exaggeration of the burden of sin or the impossible insolence of an invasion of the laws of nature. We should admire the chivalry of the Chinese conception of a god who fell from the sky to fight the dragons and save the wicked from being devoured by their own fault and folly. We should admire the subtlety of the Chinese view of life, which perceives that all human imperfection is in very truth a crying imperfection. We should admire the Chinese esoteric and superior wisdom, which said there are higher cosmic laws than the laws we know; we believe every common Indian conjurer who chooses to come to us and talk in the same style. If Christianity were only a new oriental fashion, it would never be reproached with being an old and oriental faith.”

I would like to say that there is no such thing as a true atheist, only the mentally derranged could be true atheists and here is why.

Anybody who has the least bit of morality, no matter how small, has God, because all morality is from God and to that point morality is written on all our souls. I forget the bible verse, but there is one along the line of morality being written on our souls.

Now for people like american athiest, there could be many reasons why they dont want to acknowledge God, they dont want to lose supreme control over their lives (which they dont have in the first place), they want to always be number one in their life, the center of their universe, some other kind of fear, etc etc etc.

But in the end there is no such thing as true atheism outside of the mentally derranged. Even on the complete opposite spectrum of the spiritual scale from God is satan and demons, and they cannot even be atheists.
