God has no need for us to make a defense on His behalf or to round off a few of His "rough edges" to make Him more appealing to fallen man!
We must proclaim the attributes of the God against whom we have sinned. Only in the light of His greatness does our sin appear truly evil.
See? You're doing it all wrong. you don't need to proclaim anything. It's useless and counterproductive. You need to demonstrate the attributes of God, starting with His existence otherwise your whole argumentation rests on a foundation of thin air.
ReplyDeleteFrench Engineer,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for not getting back to you sooner and thank you for the comments. I'm sorry if you think that I'm speaking at you and not to you. I wasn't trying to come off in that manner in the least. But, before we start talking about the attributes of God and His existence, what made you choose Atheism? Were you always an Atheist? I confess, I'm curious.
I got a few years of sunday school. Catholic mother. agnostic dad. They had a simple compromise. I had to get enough religious educaiotn to make an informed choice, then they would respect my choice. Once I had a few years of sunday school under my belt, I started wondering how the prists knew what they knew. It got me into "why do other areas of knowledge need experimental confirmation, but not religion?" territory, anf from that it was simple : there is no evidence for any god, so no reason to believe in their existence. No theist I've met yet has been able to present satisfactory evidence for the existence of any God.
DeleteSo, what kind of deal do you have with Ray for ghostwriting his blog? You do get something in return, right? I hope you at least keep the IP on your work, or you might see it in a book "authored by Ray comfort" one day.
