I think it needs to be said that not all atheists are evil.
But all anti-theists are.
Checkmate.
“I think it needs to be said that not all atheists are evil.”
To reject the offer of the gospel is indeed evil. But, that doesn’t mean you’d necessarily participate in the all the evil that O’Hare apparently enjoyed.
“I think it needs to be said that not all atheists are evil.”
They aren’t evil to you. However, good and evil aren’t determined in relation to your low fallen standards (or mine), but in relation to His perfect holy character. Words such as good and evil have absolutely no meaning other than in relation to Him.
This is what the Bible says of all men:
Romans 3:10-18
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Outside of Christ Jesus, ALL are indeed evil. Those in Christ are perfectly righteous and holy, but not because of any good in them or because of any merit. They are righteous and holy because Christ’s perfect righteousness has been graciously imputed to their account.
