I have no problem with this position, which is very similar to that of John Derbyshire.
I wonder how he explains to himself how everything got here?
I guess this also explains why he’s so limp, has no backbone...
...after all, if you don’t believe in God, how can you believe in true Righteousness?
You’re are mostly out of touch as well and not a conservative.
Exactly. Not conservative at all. And for the skeptical scientists out there I have a simple question: Assuming there is no underlying, unseen, life force out there, what are the odds that the universe was born with the capacity to generate self-aware beings from the matter... that seemingly...came from nothing... in the first place? Sorry George, it’s not only probable that there is a God, it’s actually quite unlikely that there isn’t a God.
I am always sad to hear someone say that. Even if I were not a Christian, I am sure I would believe in God. I look at the miracle of creation and see God’s handiwork. I know others might see it otherwise, but that’s how I look at it.
I’m not that surprised. George’s whole nature is that of a sceptic or perfunctory contrarian (aka Devil’s Advocate). Playing that role in on air discussions has made a good living for him. He can retreat into a position of neutrality when it serves his needs. At least George Will does not strike me as one of those Angry Atheists who is focused on destroying what they do not believe in.
I went through this about 8 years ago too. In the same boat; I no longer found the arguments for theism persuasive.
Krauthammer is an atheist as well. Maybe God will open their eyes in the future.
I have worshiped on many occasions alongside Krauthammer. It is my humble belief that humble men understate their knowledge of and love of the LORD.
Finally - is it of any use what importance we insects ascribe to the Creator of the Universe?
>>“I deeply respect religions and religious people. The great religions reflect something constant and noble in the human character, defensible and admirable yearnings.”
Why would you respect someone to turns “something constant and noble in the human character” into a superstitious belief system? If you don’t believe in God, then just tell the religious people that they are wrong and prove it.
I agreed with what Will is saying for 30 years. Then I realized that I was wrong and became convinced that God is real and that there is nothing “constant and noble in the human character” that wasn’t given by the Holy Spirit.
This does not surprise me at all.
So he “resents” us
Can’t just disagree politely and make his own decision
Instead, George “Free” Will has to hate us
That’s the end of you to me, loser. The remote will be be used more often
He’s a dunce and proud of it
Krauthammer, Rove, Will...all atheists. Pretty sad.
All our science, with all its knowledge, doesn't even touch it.
And consciousness is not pretty colors on an MRI image of the brain.
Will explained. “I deeply respect religions and religious people.”— So,in other words you respect terrorists to? They kill in the name of allah.
I have never considered George Will my favorite conservative. If I go a website that features many conservatives, for example the DrudgeReport, and select columnists to read, I will seldom click on George Will.
Yet to many, he is the face of conservatism. If I recall right, he was on ABC and published in Newsweek. I think of George Will as the favorite, and only acceptable, conservative for many liberal news outlets.
So how did George Will get this coveted position of a conservative whom the liberals will print? To be fair, he is often conservative. But he is not hard hitting - that would be offensive in a conservative. Occasionally (when needed?) he turns on conservatives and Republicans. Perhaps that is the price he pays in order to get air time and print space.
With the possible exception of Steven Colbert, George Will is the liberal’s favorite conservative. Colbert is a clear phoney. I think George Will is mostly conservative, yet he only takes his gloves off when attacking people more conservative than himself.
I don’t doubt one bit that someone who is as in love with himself as he is would be an atheist. Every atheist I know truly believes they are smarter than everyone else.
I’ll tell you who is an attractive man; Gorge Will. He has clean looks, scrubbed and shampooed...
