Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
JustHuman: Do you mean that "not knowing" automatically means it cannot be? As I do not know where all the material (energy?) came from with the Big Bang, you do not know where God got it from. It's the same, only different viewpoints. But the issue at this point is, something had the ene...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
As B.W. wrote: To answer that, God remains true in the absolute sense to all that he is, all his character traits, nature, words, promises, gifts, callings, etc without and shadow of turning. He keeps his word and promises... Therefore, if he cannot keep his word, then how can he remain God? He gave...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
With the exception of the first act of creation... Now, do you mean that "With the exception of the first act of creation..." the act of creation is (also) not real in the materialist universe? I.e. not happened? y:-? Where did the material come from that made all the entire universe? I d...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do nothing from ...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
There is a massive amount of evidence Christianity is true but you being an atheist not caring if it is true or not don't take evidence seriously and since you just accept things that sound good to you without evidence you are not an evidence type person and so it won't sway you,until you get serio...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
Tell me, Hortator, does God in his omnipotent omniscience know the future? Did Jesus, as the son of God, 'know' his future? Yep. Then what is the point in doing something of which you know the outcome in advance? Why put your own son through such a painfull and agonizing ordeal, to know that humans...

Philip: "... I don't believe in "Pop Metaphysics" - that an incredible physical universe just happened to instantly "pop" into existence all by itself. And wild theories about how that is possible is not science, but, well, wild, unproven theories. Plus, science doesn't mea...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
There is no 'true evidence', for any humans point of view regarding our origin (existence?) (And many other things too). Only assumptions and opinions (and fuzzy feelings). What is deemed rational seems to depend on what one believes. Both can be rational whithin their own boundaries. I didn't writ...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
Bc ultimately God loves us and created us in HIS image to be friends. We alone of all the creatures mentioned in the Scriptures were made this way. Indeed. Hence the age-old enigma: why does the atheist refuse to befriend God? After all, since the beginning of creation, God has been good for the so...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
As being an atheist I don't feel like being irrational. In all respect to your persona and by way of understanding your mind, a) What does Jesus Christ mean to you? b) Do you reason that Jesus Christ is rational or irrational in what He taught and did at the cross? c) What's your reason for your pe...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
Jesus asked, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?" Why do you suppose the most famous carpenter in the history of mankind, from the dusty village of Nazareth, located in an insignificant corner of a mighty fine Earth, who most assuredly changed...

Re: Is being an atheist irrational?
In a materialist universe there is no illusion, for everything is 'real'. And every real physical thing had a cause or is derived from something which previously existed. And the Cause of the universe had to be supremely intelligent and unfathomably powerful. No universe, no physical thing existed,...
