Thank you for your comments.
My view is there is no such thing as an atheist.
My view is that atheism is a Religion and I therefore
often speak about the Religion Of Atheism.
One reason is this , ,
Henry , , ,
~ Henry claims to be an atheist.
~ There is nothing in Henry's world that is Higher than Henry.
~ Henry has a god.
~ The name of Henry's god is Henry.
~ Henry is his own Supreme Being.
~ Henry therefore has a religion.
~ The name of Henry's Religion is Henryism.
~ Also known as the Religion Of Atheism.
And by the way I do not say that you claim to be an atheist.
I do not know how you self-identify.
Back to rights , , ,
I have a right to hold to my personal views and opinions and
to present them for your consideration.
You have a right to refuse to read them and/or to refuse to believe
they are true.
I will not, and do not, ever seek to force my views on another,
I merely present them for the consideration of anyone interested in
reading them.
There is no logical reasons why you need to care one way or the
other about what I personally believe on the issues of , ,
~ There is no such thing as an atheist.
~ The Religion Of Atheism
You can hold to what you believe and I can hold to what I believe.
My view is there is no such thing as an atheist.
My view is that all men KNOW there is a God that created them.
I have strong Biblical reasons for believing this to be true.
Here they are , , ,
Romans 1:19-20
Romans 1:19-20 says "since what may be known about
God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to
them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible
qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have
been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made, so that people are without excuse."
Note the particulars in Romans 1:19-20
{1) There is information that can be known about God.
{2} This information is plain to men.
{3} God Himself has made it plain to them.
{4} It has been plain to them since the creation of the world.
{5} God's eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen
{6} All this in understood from what God created.
{7} Therefore men are without excuse {for not believing in God.}
Romans 1:19-20 is the germ principle of the Teleological Argument
for the existence of God -- the argument from the Intelligent Design
of the Human Person, the Earth-Sun-Moon-Stars, and the Universe.
Psalm 19:1-4 , , ,
Psalm 19:1-4 says , , ,
"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world."
Note the particulars in Psalm 19:1-4
{1} The Heavens declare God's glory.
{2} The skies above proclaim His works
{3} Day after day they speak of God's creative work
{4} Night after night they reveal God's works
{5} They use no literal word but their voice goes out worldwide
{6} Therefore all men KNOW there is a God
Just because some men claim they lack belief in the existence
of God does not mean that they actually DO lack belief in the
existence of God. On Christian lights, God, in Romans, and in
other Bible verses, says there is no such thing as an atheist.
As a Christian I have a clear choice:
{1} I can believe what God says
{2} I can believe what mere men claim to be true.
I choose to believe {1}
{see list of those 5 Bible references below}
Romans 1:18
Romans 1:18 says that humans "suppress the truth." Atheists
are part of humanity, so Romans 1:18 applies to them also.
Romans 2:15 , , ,
Romans 2:15 says the requirements of the Laws of God are
"written on their hearts." So all men know there is a God that
created them.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 , , ,
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says , , ,
"He has also set eternity in the human heart"
Five Biblical References , , ,
These Bible verses clearly teach there is no such thing
as an atheist.
Romans 1:18-20
Romans 1:18
Romans 2:15
Psalm 19:1-4
Ecclesiastes 3:11
Best.
