Quote:Well, what should we expect from atheists living in the midst of people who believe in a Creator?
A core of rationality that will (based on human experience) spread and cause more and more people to try to adopt real solutions for real problems. 'Hand that help are better than lips that pray.'
Quote:When lives are transformed and empowered to live Godly lives through a personal relationship with Christ, one knows beyond reasonable doubt that God is real.
*shrug* I know devout Hindus who are perfectly fine people, live peaceful and productive lives, and are what you would term 'Christ-like.' Are we to conclude from this that Shiva and Kali are real? People are good, not because of their faith, but in spite of it.
Quote:My neighbourly advice to everyone is to first experience the life changing relationship with Christ.
Again, I know a Buddhist who has, for years, been trying to get me to try a chant which he swears has brought him great good fortune. I appreciate your attempt at neighbourliness, but I'm no more likely to adopt your mumbo-jumbo than I have been to adopt his.
