So this week the process is a bit different. I am starting the argument and Daniel is going to respond to it. The topic today is about atheism. I am going to ask some questions and say a few more things that I want Daniel to address in his rebuttal. In next week's post these questions will begin to make more sense after we hear Daniel's responses to some of them.
1. Would you agree with me that atheists claim that it is possible for God to exist?
2. Would you also agree that atheism accepts people that say it's impossible that God exists?
3. Would you agree that some parts of the Bible are true?
4. Do you believe in objective moral values?
Before Daniel answers, I am going to define what objective moral values are. These are moral values that exist independent of a group or an individual's opinion, just as physical laws exist regardless of how we would prefer them to work (some things are good other things are evil).
Atheism is inherently evil. There is no foundation of morality (what is right and wrong) in atheism. The best thing atheism can offer anyone is death, a life without no objective purpose because we are all accidents. Why do atheists talk to other religious people about their beliefs? They want to "help" them out right? That's what Daniel wants to do~show us that we're wrong and we've been doing the wrong thing all of our lives. However, the universe is going to die right? Which means humanity will die. So in the atheist world view, everyone dies and everything that atheists are doing to "help" humanity (or in this case us) is in vain. Let me give an example. Someone is building a house, which he's building to help humanity and everyone else, but you know that the house is going to collapse on everyone and kill everyone, why would you build that house?
Now, let us define atheism. Daniel may be able to help me with this one. Atheism is the disbelief in an existence of a God or gods.
As there are people that leave Christianity, there are people that leave atheism. The reason for this is because people come off angry at God and don't give arguments against His existence and rather come off as "disagreeing with the way God does things." Another main reason is that there is no proof and evidence that would show atheism is true, accurate, or correct.
5. What proof or evidence is there that shows that atheism is correct or accurate?
