"The atheist claim is therefore as absurd to me as someone saying that my brother does not exist simply because he does not know him." Oh, it's worse than that. The atheist's claim is like you telling the atheist your brother and his family live next door to the atheist, and the atheist seeing your brother's house, wife, and children every day on the atheist's way to work, hearing him call for the kids to come inside to dinner, yet claiming your brother does not exist because they have yet to see him, will not step tot he window to see him when he calls his children, and denying just all the things he is associated to in order to justify not stepping to the window for confirmation of his existence next door.

There is an arrogance inherent in atheism which seems rather irrational to me ... how can an atheist assertion certainty that a Creator does not exist when the atheist literally has so much evidence to the contrary? The irrationalness of a Christopher Hitchens or of a Dawkins nags at one the more they open their bitter mouths. Reminds me of a toddler who throws theirself to the floor in a fit for a specific toy, hoping the parent will give them attention and provide what the toddler demands while writhing around screaming in a pile of toys.

Thank you so much for those two great metaphors, dear brother in Christ!

I agree with the arrogance, which is a reflection of narcissism. They seem to revel in defying God in their self-congratulatory academic fashion. In that they assume superiority over the rest of us. As far as the toddler is concerned, I see it as him locking himself out of the house in defiance of the parents.

AG, thanks again for the wonderful history lesson. It seems that some Jewish fundamentalist could use a small dose of Christianity and its offer of redemption.

"An atheist is someone who denies the existence of anything which he cannot explain away."

Cheers!
