The honest truth of it?
#27
RE: The honest truth of it?
Lots of posts made, too lazy to go through and read through all of them, but regarding the OP...It seems you've created a little bubble where you can explain away atheism by assuming, "They will never understand" and you blame the atheists for their lack of belief because they can't "feel" God the way you and other Christians "feel" God, or interpret specific events as having God behind it. You're making a big assumption here. Many of us are first generation atheists, we have experienced what it is to be a believer, and felt the things you have felt. At the end of the day, we came to the realization that it was not God and that's part of what makes us atheist.

In a nutshell, the post reminds me of the Ray Comfort claptrap. "If you want to know God exists, just drop do your knees and ask him to reveal himself and he will." And then, if you do this and God hasn't revealed himself? Well it was you, of course! You didn't believe hard enough. Wut?

It's nonsense. Utter nonsense.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
