Those crazy atheists. They believe there is no God. And they go crazy if someone says there is a God.
Those who believe in God don’t tell the atheists the atheist message can’t be proclaimed.
So who believes freedom of speech should be allowed? It does not seem to be something about which the atheists are consistent.
Atheists believe there is no God and they hate him with an all-consuming hatred.
Agree completely. I would also point out that anyone who declares themselves to be an atheist is also declaring themselves to be quite stupid. They mark themselves as lacking in intellectual aptitude by a considerable degree. Here’s why.
Atheism is simply a state of asserting to be in denial of God. Yet, it is not possible to believe in “not God”. It is only possible to believe affimatively in something. One cannot believe in nothing. One may say whatever one wants, but one cannot actually demostrate the act of believing in nothing.
Believing requires an object of belief. Faith requires an affirmation of something. This is why nihilism and atheism are doomed and anyone who claims to believe in such is speaking nonsense.
However, since they are apparently incapable of even moderately deep thought, they are unaware of how sub-par they appear intellectually. No belief or faith can rest in the mere gainsaying of another affirmation of faith. Such an act requires naming what they actually believe. They can emote and snarl and scoff, but that is not belief, that is rejection of Truth. Not the same thing at all. Claiming there is no God is a trick of language that apparently asserts a belief. However when we consider what God means and the Nature of God, then the sentence is reduced to utter nonsense. After all, one must be God in order to deny God, which is not possible logically. It’s like saying “there are no absolutes,” which is, itself, an absolute.
Here’s an example that I hope helps illustrate my point. Many years ago, my son’s private Christian high school played in an independent basketball “league”. One of the other private schools we played was a progressive school called “The School Without Walls.” Seriously. During the game I was exchanging some banter with one of the other school’s fathers. At one point I made the comment that I could not make sense out of their school’s name since when I thought about it, all I could think about was walls. He had no response.
Similarly whenever anyone thinks about atheism all one can really think about is God.
Praise be to God who is both the Alpha and Omega. He is outside logic and also is the Logos.
