It’s Not About Faith (with An Athiest)….

You’ve heard the saying, “it takes more faith to be an atheist”. I don’t believe it. I get what it’s trying to be said, but it doesn’t address the problem of stubborn pride, willful rejection. Atheists refuse to believe God, regardless of the evidence. It’s not about faith. It’s about rebelling against what the evidence points toward. In my book, an atheist flat out refuses to examine the evidence. If they did, they would realize they are without excuse. It may not change them, but at least the conversation could move forward away from the arguing if God is real. Nature is proof we have a Creator, for a creature needs a creator to exist, right? It’s just a matter of examining the evidence and being honest enough to accept the facts. Faith plays no role in an atheist’s life, at least not the way it’s supposed to, because when you deny something’s existence, you have nothing to place your faith in. Don’t even go there when you strike up a conversation with a God-denier. Stick to the gospel, and let God take it from there.

15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings–just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. 16 In the past He permitted all the nations to go their own ways, 17 but He never left them without evidence of Himself and His goodness. For instance, He sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts.” 18 But even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could scarcely restrain the people from sacrificing to them. Acts 14:15-18
