Honest Question to Atheists - Best Argument?

[Rhondazvous]

I was a Christian for 25 years and have that much indoctrination that I've had to sort through.  It all made sense when I was a Christian.

As you asked, I won't dismiss your question as idiotic, however, I will take note that it assumes that Christianity and atheism are the only parameters. That's a question I had to deal with. Is atheism the only alternative to Christianity and If I can't embrace atheism wholesale does that enjoin me to return to Christianity?

As I have said elsewhere, one cannot prove the existence of the Christian god with arguments. If god doesn't actually show himself, for a Christian to come up with an irrefutable argument for his existence is like making potato salad with every ingredient except potatoes. The sine qua non of god is god.

No God can be proven with science alone.

You say "science alone." But do you even have that?

If you approach the world with faith you will interpret everything in a way that supports your faith. Science doesn't do that. Science doubts its own findings unless and until those findings prove themselves through test and repetition.

But again, no man should have to prove the existence of an omnipresent god, be he Yahweh or whoever.
